Golovkin is already GREAT

macklin, murray, geale, sturm, barker and martinez all had pretty competitive fights amongst each other so it's not like golovkin has been fighting total cans or anything. he has a lot of wins over top 10 guys, but he just makes it look so easy that he doesnt get any credit for it. obviously martinez, sturm, and somewhat pirog ducked or couldn't fight golovkin so i don't agree with people who say that golovkin only fights soft touches. he's fought everyone willing to fight him within boxing-political reason. golovkin is a great fighter, but he's not a great. i do hope he becomes one though. been following him since around the ian gardner fight. gardner used to fight out of petronelli's gym which is about 15 minutes up the street from me. nice guy.nobody in his division and i mean his division canget him to that next level no julian jackson no b hop,no jones no g man mclellan he has 2 go upor suffer with the what could have been but never was if his peeps refuse 2 challenge him in the super middleweight div. he should go after the glory himself his handlers will be along well after his carreer is over he has limited time due 2 his age just go for it dood leave a legacy 4n urself and ur country sal sanches fought the mexican assasin at 23 then passed on but will be remembnered 4 that fight alone if he had refuseed to fight gomes we would probably be saying sal whooo????

his achievements make him currently the best middleweight p4p level but to be considered great you have 2 beat a great fighter or several very good ones im not saying he wont but hasnt yet pak wasnt considered great until he beat the big 3 morales,barrera,marquez,and went on and on b4 that he was considered very good with potencial 2 be great.

Tell Lil C(ontradiction) holding titles and fighting no hopers for the entirety of your career doesnt make you great, contrary what the peanut gallery at NSB believes. The guy hasnt even faced a shred of adversity in his career and him and his fans are completely okay with that, what does that tell you? It tells me they want his jock strap on their faces, and they DKSAB, or they just want to ride what the jock strap was supporting.

I want to see him more active. 3 x a year, he isn't getting any younger!

Tripoo G? He is the greatest phony champion the sport has ever known. He has never thanked god for a victory. TRUE FACT. He has never brought frozen turkeys to Kazakhstan on thanksgiving to give back to society. TRUE FACT. No thanks K2. I will look elsewhere for my boxing, plenty of FREE stuff on now anyways. :fingersx:

I didn't mean to include Geale in that. I know Geale has some good wins in Sturm, Mundine and I thought he actually beat Barker. Macklin, Murray, Stevens, etc are some guys who I should ask that question about. macklin, murray, geale, sturm, barker and martinez all had pretty competitive fights amongst each other so it's not like golovkin has been fighting total cans or anything. he has a lot of wins over top 10 guys, but he just makes it look so easy that he doesnt get any credit for it. obviously martinez, sturm, and somewhat pirog ducked or couldn't fight golovkin so i don't agree with people who say that golovkin only fights soft touches. he's fought everyone willing to fight him within boxing-political reason. golovkin is a great fighter, but he's not a great. i do hope he becomes one though. been following him since around the ian gardner fight. gardner used to fight out of petronelli's gym which is about 15 minutes up the street from me. nice guy.

sturm is garbage. list of champions sturm avoided: hopkins winky taylor pavlik Sergio GGG Ouma The list goes on and on. He got big attention with his DLH fight and did absolutely nothing with it afterwards and went straight back to germany fighting cab drivers for the last decade. He cant even handle a shot sam solimon. i agree with this post minus ouma. aside from jermain taylor, the only relevant fight ouma had at middleweight was against golovkin, and nobody gives him credit for that. so why should sturm be discredited for not fighting him? to be honest, i think sturm probably decisions ouma without many problems/controversey. i could see that being a good entertaining fight back in the late 2000s though.

I really like Golovkin, but there is a difference between looking like a great and actually being a great.

He is my favorite fighter but for reasons I don't understand he is well hated on boxing scene so don't expect many to agree with you that he is great. He has more successful title defenses and defends his titles far more often than any champion fighting today. He wins all his fights by KO and has 21 KOs in a row. But hell, what's so great about that? Any old bum could do the same thing. Just ask his haters.

:lol1::lol1:

geale's best win isn't a loss to martinez. it's a decision win in germany over felix sturm. and sturm is a 5-time 2 weight champeen!!!! I didn't mean to include Geale in that. I know Geale has some good wins in Sturm, Mundine and I thought he actually beat Barker. Macklin, Murray, Stevens, etc are some guys who I should ask that question about.

He has multiple titles, undefeated and a silver medalist. 99 percent of boxers will never achieve what he has done. FACTS only!I have a lot of respect for GGG and his skills but to be great you have to fight and beat greats or near greats and there are none of those in this era. Not his fault. But the fact is, there has to be fighters who would enter the ring a 50-50 against him like all great middleweights did. That means there are no sensational fighters who would be considered threats and that's what it takes. If he was fighting in an era of Hagler, prime Hopkins, Monzon, etc., then he would be up against guys who would be favored over him and then we would see what he had. A fighter cannot become great without fighting greats or near greats, it is that simple.

I was talking about this yesterday with my friend. What has any of the fighters GGG has fought accomplished? What's Martin Murray's best win? His loss to Sergio? Same with Macklin, Geale etc. Lemieux had some decent wins over N'Dam and Rosado I suppose. There's no way you can look at his resume and claim he's great right now. Danny Garcia gets so much crap, but he's fought much better fighters than GGG. geale's best win isn't a loss to martinez. it's a decision win in germany over felix sturm. and sturm is a 5-time 2 weight champeen!!!!

He has multiple titles, undefeated and a silver medalist. 99 percent of boxers will never achieve what he has done. FACTS only! He's (arguably) the best Kazakh boxer in history. Not saying much but its saying something.

great a beating chefs and cab drivers

Golovkin is a great fighter you can tell that by watching his fights but he wasnt tested yet. There are still boxers that want to fight him but his promoter dont want them fights to happen

The fighters that refuse to fight him (Canelo, Martinez, Froch etc) already took an L from GGG. Rigondeaux must be the GOAT
