Dunno, he's well beyond a hardcore sensation right now. Ahead is Canelo, maybe PAC, who else? And Canelo is the butt of jokes because of his Ggg duck now.
But whether Ggg is #1or 3, it's way beyond what anyone could have expected when he was first given a chance by Hbo 4 years back. And he just keeps gain ground on the also rans.
I think you guys are a bit delusional about his star power. But hey, what do I know. Boxing has no stars except Canelo. And Golovkin will never be in that conversation, imo. He not even as popular as Roy Jones was at his peak.
I suppose Hagler, Pryor, and Pep were never boxing stars. I guess those boxing historians didn't know what the hell they were talking about. Next time I want my boxing history lesson I coming straight to NSB.
Be honest Lords you mad Golovkin pulled Cotto's hoe card?
You're confused here, those fighters you named manned up and fought quality opposition something g string has yet to do
Ok but the thread title is "gg is the next star". Not like I said he's a euro bum. Ppv and star power directly correlate. So with that said, he's not a star
I'm not insulting him I'm just saying the facts
Fair enough then. I'm happy with that.
I'm very over the whole 'ticket sales determine your worth as a fighter' thing. That way means that Rigondeaux and Ward are even ****tier fighters cause They sell even less. I personally don't love their styles but I would much rather they made huge sales and great money. They are great fighters just with less 'casual' pleasing styles.
Yup he is on the way to be the number one attraction. I know there is a growing group of haters from some corners in America who want him to fail but most real boxing fans are behind him and delighted to see a big start who delivers exciting fights and knockouts for the fans. fans were on a high after the Brook fight and eager to see both guys again. It's great to see a guy who is slowly getting there despite not having the benefit any ethnic/nationalistic backing
Won't happen. He is a hardcore sensation. Nothing more nothing less. And at 34 he's never had a truly mega fight. So let's be real. In 2 more years, Golovkin may not even be boxing.

The true face of boxing! He's the most KNOWN and most LOVED active boxer now, truly an international superstar since the Pacman :hail::hail::hail::hail:
p.s.can someone make a gif where Golovkin body shotted Brook on the first round, it was savage
You sound like a bigot buddy
This month is only 11 days old...so your presence here can't be more than that...and you are already more annoying than alexkid
It bothers some of these posters
That fighters like GGG kovalev lomachenko
Wlad fury and frampton are on top. These guys are all top p4p guys and it bothers them that light skin fighters are winning.
They cant help themselves. They got all that false confidence from a cherry picking floyd mayeather .
They think clinching is an art when in reality its a foul and illegal in boxing.
They complain when wlad does it but if mayeeather or ward do its an art.
If you are light skinned and box , you are a runner. If you jab and and use technique you are a robot.
They are mad cause terrence crawford and maybe bradley are the only top black fighters near the top 10 p4p. Im a huge crawford fan
I was one of the first , I can remember when black fans hated on him cause he is with top rank.now they jumped on that bandwagon cause broner keeps getting beat up. Lmao
You are just as pathetic as canelomaidana.. "Hate their skin color doe" :rofl: stfu
Just like I can say you hate rigo and ward cause of their skin color since you didn't say they're pfp which they are. You need to stop crying cause everyone isn't s gullible gennady groupie

Dude is a star. He might not be at Floyd or Pac level star but those days are done. Both these idiots ruined PPV with that dud of a fight after making people wait for half a decade.
Canelo is still technically the biggest star but his popularity is in decline ever since Ducking GGG.
You seem to think that it's a great thing to insult him with.
I don't care who can sell what. I just want to see the good fights. If you can sell PPV like Floyd good luck to you. Means nothing to me. If you can't fill a own hall but I can watch you fight so be it. I won't think the less of you if you fight well or entertainingly.

How the Fuk am I hating? He's not the biggest star if he can't even sell 200k ppvs. That's not a star

It really puzzles me that anyone can think this way.
Personally I would love all boxers to do great business and make boxing a massive prime time sport again. Don't care who they are, success helps all boxing fans.
Instead we have all these guys who have some weird grudge against a boxer to the point that they are rooting against the success of boxing.
I think Broner's a tool but if he becomes a huge star and raises the image and kudos of boxing, great!
Haters suck. And I'm not some big GGG fan.

IDK, there seems to be a big buzz leading into this fight, both fighters delivered in a big way. Brook having a big payday proves that fighting GGG is good for everyone involved.
Jacobs timing is perfect with GGG star rising a big payday should be coming his way if he steps up to GGG
Based on what? He still can't headline a good ppv and do numbers..

wow!!!!!! I never knew beating Lemiuex and Geale makes you an ATG new info
You don't have to be an Atg to be the biggest star, new info? Canelo is still the biggest star and he's nowhere near good enough to become Atg ever. But unifying all 4 belts and breaking the Mw defense record, all by KO, will score you some Atg points.
