Marco antonio Rubio underrated

The thing that amazes me is..when there were rumors of Cotto fighting Rubio it was called a cherry pick Really!? I actually would have liked to see that fight. Cotto isn't a genuine middleweight so it would be interesting to see what he does. And he will never have fought anyone with such a difference of height. But naturally it would be called a cherry pick.

He's clearly not a bum (horrible term. Then again I didn't see the Golovkin fight, only read the reports). I think he's rated about where he should be, as a top contender - maybe good enough to get one of the 'real' belts from the 4 main organisations in a weak division, but not good enough to beat a strong champion. I don't agree that he was GGG's best win. I would happily listen to the argument from anybody and enjoy discussing it, but for me GGG's best win was Geale, followed closely by Rubio & Macklin. Thank you! This is what I'm saying!

Guys I'm not a blind golovkin fan. I still think he is beatable unlike some of the guys calling him an atg already. But what I am annoyed at is how people easily write off guys like Rubio when they have probably never boxed before. Try and go pro and see if you do as well as he does. What I'm saying is that in general nsb seems to view guys like Rubio as bums when rubio actually has some good skills.

Just when I thought golovkin fans were becoming more respectable. Pretty shameless honestly.

Not my point. Rubio gives up when it gets tough. He's not mentally prepared when he's outgunned. Blasphemy! He is a Mexican Warrior!!!! lol

I can't help but feel Rubio is very underrated on these boards. I see guys who call him a bum and a chump. But after watching some fight footage of him I'm actually kind of a fan now. I'll admit he seemed okay at the end of the golovkin ko but he never behaved like that when getting stopped by guys earlier on in his career. I like golovkin too so I just think rubio's legs gave out. However style wise Rubio is pretty good. He doesn't get hit as often as you'd think because he covers up well and he's got good punching power. Granted some of his opponents weren't the best opposition but it can still be said he has had a good career behind him. Some golovkin haters seem annoyed that he didn't end the hype while some golovkin fans just seen to talk him down. I reckon Rubio is actually much better than people give him credit for. Unfortunately nsb logic results in him becoming a bum Golovkin fought another soft touch, in a pretty sturdy line of soft touches; to try and build a basis for Rubio, to try and justify the Golovkin person is disingenuous.

:haha: :haha: Honestly can't tell if he was self parading or if that really just happened.

No he's not. He sucks. Oh I forgot he just fought Golovkin. Yeah he is very underrated. The thing is people just see him losing to GGG and automatically assume 'he's a bum' Sure, hes old and lost to Pavlik (personal issues) but the thing is Golovkin MADE him look ordinary. Put Rubio in the ring with almost any other MW that night and I bet he beats them, minus maybe Geale and Murray. He would of beat Peter Quillin, that's for damn sure. Rubio is very underrated :haha: :haha:

Rubio is very underrated Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to say. He isn't maybe world champ material but he would make a better champ than quillin. He would beat rosado too I think. But yeah, he's just on the cusp of championship material. He was after all an interim champion as well.

Not my point. Rubio gives up when it gets tough. He's not mentally prepared when he's outgunned. He was outgunned against Lemieux and ended up stopping him. All I'm saying is he's not top p4p but we can't act like he's a bum. He's at the very least a gatekeeper. Maybe more. But he's had a pretty good career when you look back on it.

No he's not. He sucks.

Do me a favou and go to a boxing gym. Find a middleweight or someone your weight if heavier. Now find a hard hitting middleweight. Get hit on the temple. See how you do and then comment Not my point. Rubio gives up when it gets tough. He's not mentally prepared when he's outgunned.

He is, Golovkin's best win too.

Yes exactly, that's what it was. Golovkin made his legs give out when he pounded his skull against the ropes. Also, what say you about him quitting and crying against Pavlik?
