Sounds like you don't like his style. That's fine. He's still gonna destroy whoever stands in his way.
If anyone has the balls to fight him.

he's a huge puncher with an agressive style and a big chin, but he's not some brute. he is technical. he does have the amateur background, which will include all of the rudiments of boxing that you might not see in your standard brute.
he's a promising fighter. the "hype" probably came about primarily because of the punching power. there aren't a ton of guys out there like him anymore. he beats the hell out of people.
you'll find no top names going through the professional resume. the top two are ouma and proksa. ouma was shot and was best at 154, and proksa is certainly nothing to write home about.
in the amateurs, for whatever it's worth, he stopped bute (i can provide a link. he blasts him,) beat dirrell, korobov, geale, lee, despaine
he won the world juniors
the world championships
and silvered in the olympics.
there's a lot to be excited about. it's too early to break out the annointing oil, but he's going to be a factor in the division in the near future.

Looks to have a lot of potential but so have so many others over the years. His best win is over Kerry Hope, a guy whose 1-1 with Kerry Hope ffs
I'm not sold on Golovkin myself. I'm really baffled as to what makes people think an expected win inside 6 over Gregorz Proksa equals a win over Sergio Martinez.
