ASTANA. KAZINFORM - ESPN put Kazakhstani boxer Gennady Golovkin on the top spot of their middleweight ratings, Kazinform has learnt from Sports.kz.

Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler took to his Twitter to express his excitement. "GGG finally at top of ESPN Middleweight ratings @danrafaelespn, only missing @WorldBoxingOrg, @ringmagazine titles," he tweeted.

Earlier the WBA (Super), IBO, WBC and IBF undefeated middleweight champion from Kazakhstan was ranked 2nd. His potential opponent Mexican boxer Saul ‘Canelo' Alvarez topped the ratings but crashed out after vacating the WBC title that automatically went to Golovkin.
