What is there to dislike about Gennady Golovkin?

Very humble and nice guy who wants to please the fans and is looking for all the big fights. People admittedly don't want to fight him and that's not his fault. He's an immensely skilled boxer and not just a face first power puncher which NSB love (345-5 as an amateur and an olympic silver medalist). Why do you think people don't like GGG and if you dislike him why do you feel that way? Is it because he's "untested", fair point but that's not to say he wont beat the best opponent as he just hasn't had the opportunity. Is it because you don't want to jump on the hype train?

It's a banning offense to accuse anyone of being racist. So anyone would need to be a fool to name names or point fingers. So why aren't you banned? Seeing as you do it virtually in every post. Licking Boston Guy's hoop gets you immunity I assume.

We all know the true reason. People will deflect by claiming they hate GGG because he has a few dozen annoying superfans fans on boxingscene ... lol just lol.

Broner is a Haymon fighter and they all jumped ship to Showtime where they're paid more, GGG is heavily promoted because he's their only star barring Canelo and has an exciting style. Vast majority of GGG haters are black there's no denying it. That's simply not true :lol1: HBO decided they wouldn't work with GBP not the other way around. It had nothing to do with Haymon. I vividly remember Richard Schaefer being bemused about HBO passing on Adrien Broner. Mate. Don't make yourself look like a tool. You are quick to grab that card and it's absolutely ridiculous.

Not much to dislike about Genady, though his hype, phony aura of invincibility, and fans are entirely obnoxious. He himself is just fine though.

Kovalev but not Golovkin huh? Weird. My favorite besides Golovkin? Johann "Kid Lightening" Duhaupas. Kovalev is more to do with his mentality. Guy is an absolute killer. Became a fan ever since he flipped off the Welsh fans after decapitating Cleverly

Orlando Salido Roman Gonzalez Sergey Kovalev Manny Pacquaio No order Kovalev is incredibly entertaining to watch. Bit of a cruel prick but in boxing that's nothing to be angry about.

Is it just me or did GGG look angry/annoyed this weeknd? During and after the fight there was something about his demeanour like he had somethin on his mind.

He's a 4 weight world champion at 26 years old? Because of statements like that is why we dislike his fans so much. Some are already crowning him the greatest MW ever. These guys really need to get a grip on reality.

This! Same sht they said with Pac, "oh dey just have annoying fanz" in reality they dislike a non black being the main star of boxing. Golovkin's first PPV numbers haven't even come out yet and he's already the "main star of boxing". And you wonder why people find his fans annoying :lol1:

Out of curiosity, what style appeals to you then? Do you like watching shoulder rolls and clinches? I'm not being an ass, it's just rare to find a fan who doesn't likw an aggressive fighter. I like a wide range. I like plenty of aggressive fighters. Golovkin just isn't one of them.
