I don't see any hate for GGG. I think the consensus is the same amongst most boxing fans....he has not been truly tested. I'd like to see him fight Ward. I think this is a good fight. The excuse of going up is a poor one.
Let's not compare the two, even in a different context. By age 33 Floyd had already gone up 24lbs from his debut weight, picked up titles in 5 weight classes, picked up 3 Lineal/Ring titles, beat 7 title holders, beat 5 #1 ranked fighters at 130, 135, 140, and 147, and was constantly 10-15lbs lighter than his opponent on fight night. Several of Floyd's opponents went on to become titlists, top 10 P4P fighters, and Ring champs. This was all by 33.
Golovkin is 33 and is scared to death of moving up 8lbs, his fans excuse him of moving up because he weighs 167lbs 1 week away from a MW fight, Floyd weighs 147lbs one month away from a WW fight, but fought at 154. Golovkin has never won an actual title from a titlist, this is going to be his first time against Lemieux. Golovkin's opponents from Proksa-Present were mediocre before GGG and kept their mediocre career going after GGG. Their total record is 12-11-1 after Golovkin. No GGG opponent is looking like they will have any accomplishment as they were only hyped up momentarily to make a GGG win over them look good. But they actually aren't good fighters.
Yet needs an IV to "rehydrate" and he has titles at 154 yet he's too small to fight GGG there...
Golovkin just hit the scene in America and HBO 3 years ago and has fought like 12 times already and is headlining his own PPV at a sold out MSG...and he's not American...
I'd say that's pretty impressive stuff so far for GGG....lets see where he ends up...

this is some hard truth right here.
He has retarded fans and retarded haters.
His fans can see no wrong or fault and his haters just want to see him lose
I was going to disagree, but makes some sense to me.
I will add that GGG is a purely offensive fighter.

What this man ^^ said.
The patriots have teamed up with the the wannabe black panthers, boxing hipsters, and terriified cotto fans, to form a coalition against him
This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm not referring to careers hanz because come on there is no comparison im just referring to the fan base or hate base. I think GGG is the most hated boxer right now and he hasn't even said much it's more his team and fans
You really think golovkins hate is anywhere close to floyds? They're no where close
But Floyd wasn't a hype job and was pfp for 15 years. So not really

Excellent thread! Even Gennady haters admit he is on the throne and the best fighter in boxing. Thats when you know you have made it. LMAO!!! I am loving this man. We are on top, its been 3 long years and now Gennady is considered the greatest fighter of all time even by those who dislike him. Next Saturday, we will witness Gennady prove why he is the best fighter to ever live by facing the second most devastating puncher in the history of the sport.
Golovkin is the face of boxing. The cash cow. The p4p king.

El Blanco/The White has spoken.. and as usual it makes me wonder why in the **** he even spoke.
GGG is on the rise. Just his Apple watch commercial during the Bronco game and I if he gets a KO next weekend his stock will go way up.
Good for boxing that an action fighter gets some pub.
We should petition for GGG to replace Floyd's face on the main page button on Boxing Scene plus its not like you'd complain seeing him there he is much hotter probably has a bigger snake too.
