No, Mayweather is.
Golovkin's best win is against Geale. Geale wouldn't qualify for a place in Mayweather's top 10 wins P4P-wise. He'd probably be in Mayweather's top 20 though.
This is where your lists go wrong. You've just placed justification for Mayweather being above Golovkin due to the names on his overall resume.
How does Mayweather's win over Oscar 7 years ago place him as greater fighter, pound-for-pound than Golovkin, in "October 2014" as per the title of your post, in the forum "Current Scene"?
It's irrelevant. That Mayweather is gone. In 2014 we have a 37 year old man who took 2 attempts to outland & lodge a convincing scorecard over a C-level guy like Maidana. A fighter seemingly incapable of inflicting more than a busted lip with a punch or doing anything other than clinching on the inside or running & pot-shotting on the outside. To suggest this is currently the best boxing has to offer is an insult to the sport.
Mayweather's snoozefest catchweight win over Canelo is still just about recent enough to keep him in the top 5 and i'd have Ward off of there completely 'til he decides to, you know, box.
