Favoutite quotes
“(Mayweather) is not a real guy — I see him as being a big fake, inside and outside. Show me who you are,” Golovkin said. “I’m not like a movie star (seeking publicity) — ‘Look at my car.’ I like real people. I don’t like fakes.”
“We would walk into a gym and my brothers would say, ‘OK — you, tall guy over there, maybe you want to fight this small guy?'” Golovkin said, shaking his head at the memory. “It was crazy. I’ve never been a tough guy but always there was a provocation. That was a long time ago. Today, boxing is important to me and to my family.”“Every two days, I had a street fight,” he said. “I was living a different life. I’ve never been a bad guy — never acted like a tough guy. But every time, there was a provocation. They acted like gangsters. Everybody wanted to beat me up. Maybe because I have baby face.'”
““Look, my hands, these are like guns. When you have guns, you can relax. But in the future, you need something else. I love and respect my sport but I am not a bad guy. First, I am a sportsman.”
Gennady idolized Vadim and Sergey. Eventually, they joined the old Soviet army. They never came home; details remain sketchy. The twins were 10. Gennady’s grief was unspeakable. “When we lost them, we began looking at the world through different eyes,” Max said. “It affected the way Gennady approached boxing. He became very serious.”
The brothers’ deaths “remains a sensitive topic for Gennady,” said Loeffler.
Indeed. “I remember them. I miss them,” was all Golovkin would say through watery green eyes.
