Why Golovkin doesn't get respect

He's been at 160 since the stone age...and he's 35 now. Refuses to consider 168. Only uses power to win fights. This bugs me as I tend to root for the underdog. I can't help not being impressed with someone who doesn't have more to his arsenal. No defense, no head movement, no speed, no high tempo cardio. A jab against weaker guys, hunting someone down and cornering them knowing they cant hurt you doesn't impress me. It just doesn't. Prefer to see a rigondeoux or Mayweather who uses skills to play this game. Relentlessly trying to fight a junior middleweight instead of looking at 168 for glory. A number of fighters get **** for seeking out smaller fighters, Golovkin should as well. Tried to quietly avoid Ward...but I'm not letting that move slide and here to remind people of it. Anyone who knows boxing will conclude that Golovkins power would be neutralized and the big drama show would be provided by Ward as Golovkin doesn't have any solid skill set besides his power, which isn't a skill. Thinks he's a bigger star than he actually is. I once thought this guy had a huge following and was excited I had a boxer to talk about with the casuals, since I don't know any hardcore boxing fans...then 97k happened. Thats the truth, thats why a lot of people aren't sold on him.

They don't have a problem making concessions (ask Hearn or Arum),they have a problem making unreasonable concessions like flat fees for the biggest bout in boxing. http://www.boxingscene.com/canelo-alvarez-gennady-golovkin-fight--109569 So apparently he brings something Canelo can't get elsewhere, respect. When are you gonna make a decent post? As soon as you get a ****ing life homie. 16,000 posts in five years? That's a special kind of loser right here. 40 year old virgin must have been your life story.

Doesn't get respect from whom? From a tiny group of community, who's never going to respect him even if GGG beats King Kong. Senseless threads.

Exactly WHO has Bumlovkin beaten? Don't matter he will always be favourite against nelo as he is more respected than nelo 168 Golovkin. Until he moves up it will be impossible to respect him. He's more respected than nelo who he's favoured to make mincemeat of Hagler has names on his resume. Exactly WHO has Bumlovkin beaten? He can continue to fight bums he's still more resporespoe ted than nelo who he's favoured to destroy

I respect GGG a lot but am a critic. Why? Because his team always put their foot in their mouth. And when you call them out on it, you get called a hater by idiots on here. You cannot eat your cake and have it at the same time. We all know GBP doesn't want the GGG fight for Canelo yet! And they would look for any excuse to push the fight back as long as possible to give their charge a better chance of getting the win. Instead of Team GGG looking out for him all they care about is the money, if they were indeed offered $10m and they turn it down then I don't want to hear any excuses. About no one wanting to fight them, as far as I know GGG has never made that sort of a payday, instead of getting him the fight and knocking out Canelo which should open up bigger and better opportunities, they are more concern about adding a few more dollars to their pot, by the time they finally agree to the fight GGG would be pushing 37.... nicely played by GBP.

168 Golovkin. Until he moves up it will be impossible to respect him.

No offense Larry, but you don't criticize Wilder or Jacob's anywhere near the same as Golovkin. Same thing for many of the other anti-GGG fans. Let's not pretend like Wilder doesn't talk big here, yet people on here remain relarively quiet. Then they go around and bash GGG for things his trainer/promoter says. At least GGG has fought guys who were ranked in the top 10 of his division. Meanwhile, Wilder has only fought one and definitely wasn't making the efforts to fight the top dogs. That is exactly why he gets the ehat he gets, his trainer says stupid sh1t and his diehard fans back it up and get mad when we ask him to prove it in the ring..

Fighters need to move up today because the divisions aren't as packed like they used to be. Most guys from 154-168 would be fighting at 160. Imagine if guys like Canelo, Cotto, Lara, Charlo bros, Andrade, Degale, Jack, Groves, Golovkin, Jacobs, Eubank Jr, and BJS were all in the same division? Great fights would have no choice to be made and boxing would be like it used to be. Golovkin is a fantastic pressure fighter and entertaining. You can't call yourself a boxing fan and not like this fighter. He is a bit one dimensional but he did show us a new side in the Lemieux fight. Golovkin had no choice but to walk Brook down. How would he look taking Brook deep into the fight and trying to box him? It was ugly but he got the job done. I don't believe the hype that he is the greatest middleweight ever because he looks beatable, no doubt there is a long list of fighters who could have beaten him. I just think he happens to be great for boxing and am not going to hate on that.
