viktor oganov was like 30 wins with 29 KO's. he wasn't "ducked" he was just a hard hitting bum that knocked out other fellow bums. Not saying Golovkin is one but I also think the eastern euros (and I am one of them) get a little too overly excited at times at any new prospect just cus he's KO'ing bums left and right. It doesn't mean ****. Go check up on Viktor Oganov, they claimed he was the next tyson, had a record of 30 wins with 29KO's and almost all of them were in the 1st round. Then what happened? Soon as he stepped up his competition he started getting OWNED. Power isn't everything
Tyrell Biggs and Audley Harrison were Olympic Gold medallist and ended up sucking as pros therefore all Olympic Gold medallists will suck as professionals. Great rational, judge the individual for yourself.
I just saw that he busted up Kassim Ouma. Does he count as quality opposition?
Go watch the fight. He didn't bust up ouma until much later on. He had a real hard time against a shot b level at best fighter.
I'm not gonna be high on either pirog or golovkin until I see them step up their competition. Keep in mind both of them struggled against some of the beat fighters they have fought. Pirog looked lost at times against maciel and golovkin wasn't that brilliant against ouma either. I want to see both of them against the best American mw prospect, kid chocolate
golovkin is a fringe contender at best, imo hes not even that. i dont think you can look at him as more than a prospect until he steps up and fights a legit contender.
to say hes gonna get avoided is ignorant since he hasnt done anything to earn a big fight in the first place, to mention his name in the same sentence as marvin hagler is downright retarded.
golovkin has lots of talent and could become a great fighter in the future but lets not get ahead of ourselves. hes settled into the pro ranks, now lets see how he does against some quality fighters. until then hes not relevant at the top of the division.
So "now the most ducked MW" recently said he doesn't want to fight Pirog in the near future...
Who's the most ducked again?
And, LOL @ comparing Lemieux to Golovkin....Lemieux can't hold Golovkin jockstrap....Lemieux is not even on the level of Matt Korobov, let alone Golovkin.
BTW, what's up with Korobov? He hasn't developed as quickly as I thought he would. I think he's getting lost in Top Rank shuffle.
I think his pedigree in the amateurs separates him from many other hype jobs.
He's beaten guys like Andre Dirrell.
I think he's more legit than Lemuiuex.
How much? Not sure til he starts fighting top ten guys.
Ah, didn't know about his amateur pedigree. I guess we'll see how he turns out
I saw nothing special in Golovkin personally. Seemed to have average speed and average power from the way he throws his shots. High KO rate means nothing when you're KO''ing nothing but bums. Why did Viktor Oganov have 29 KO's almost all in the 1st round out of 30 wins and yet as soon as he fought even B level fighters he was getting annihilated and couldn't KO a single B level opponent. And Andre Dirrell made quick/easy work of him in 4 or 5 rounds.
I don't see anything that tells me Golovkin is any different and Oganov is a FAR more powerful hitter than Golovkin and is probably faster too

He has only knocked out a few tomato cans. Calm down, bro.
Golovkin might end up being another David Lemieux so it's impossible to know until he steps up.
I agree! i have to see him in the ring with someone good!
what we can say he has the Power to put guys away with one punch!
