some of you need to self reflect and examine yourselves
didnt golovkin swear his dream was to unify? how come he let cotto and canelo play with the wbc belt? im sure many will say "oh well he was under the impression that cotto and canelo would fight him next".....yet there was plenty of reason to believe cotto would never fight him and that canelo was 25 and actually in no rush for that either.....
so saunders is sitting there....but golovkin wont fight him cause golden boy told him not to...ok so no WBO belt there
but why was he chasing the chicken that dropped the belt? canelo gave the belt up...how does that play into "dream to unify"? it doesnt....he just wanted a big fat check....
why did he duck the ward fight? because he was still chasing that big fat canelo check like a schoolgirl with a crush right? sure...no big deal...i get it
hey man he got the canelo fight! got the payday....now billy joe saunders just got that big W over lemiuex....looked impressive.....saunders still holding that WBO title and "GGGs dream" in his hands.......but what do you know hes waiting for the Brinks truck of a canelo rematch....
its cool...i get it...boxing is a "business" right? and youve got family and retirement to think about.....gotta make smart business decisions in this sport...this sport is a tough one
but how come when a 25 year old canelo is able to make big fights with cotto and khan....AND STILL gives GGG his big fight he is labeled a chicken and a pansy?
did canelo not make smart business moves by squeaking in some high profile fights(one with a guy on his way out of the boxing game) and still make the big fight with GGG? how come he is not allowed to do stuff like this without being called names or revered?
some of you really need to examine your lives outside of here...i cant imagine many of them to be fulfilling and bountiful....focus more on self rather than trying to rile up some actual boxing fans who love boxing....you only get one shot at this.....wasting it away on a forum calling some top 10 p4p fighter in the world a "chicken" and a "pansy" is no way to do it
ya man im pretty pathetic...id like to see all fighters held to the same standards and i like to give all fighters a chance to win me over.....im pathetic though if i give it back to a fanbase that constantly chides a fighter for doing the same thing a fighter they cheer on does?
if that makes me pathetic than so be it.....its funny though....it certainly seems like a lot of guys change their tune when presented with truths and facts.....youve never gone out here and bashed a fighter in a thread to their fanbase? NEVER?
much of the sameness is kind of vague? are they really the same? would canelo fans talk trash on golovkin if golovkin fans thanked canelo for the opportunity and showed canelo respect? hmm....certainly would be an interesting study wouldnt it
if golovkin fans said "man fock this brook fight this is BS ...this was BS when canelo did it and ill be damned if im gonna support this BS...shame on loeffler" are we certain canelo fans might not show golovkin some respect?
if golovkin ever came out and said "yeah man alot of that smack i was talking about 168...ward hes so good man thats such a tough fight...i dunno" and his fans said "hey man that ward...great resume and what a performance in the 2nd kovalev fight"....u think ward fans would be around trashing golovkin every day?
certainly would be interesting to find out....but we all know that will never happen in any universe
The answers are no, not in any significant way, I don't trash on any fighters, I don't call guys bums unless they are literally homeless and I don't use the term 'ducking' except in very rare instances involving mandatories and even then only in exceptional circumstances. I did trash the Brook fight as did many other guys who actually like Golovkin as a fighter and I always favoured Ward to beat Golovkin though I'm far from convinced it'd be the whitewash some seem to think.
So yeah. Problem you got is you're taking the low route by trying to attack a small and disagreeable part of a fanbase (and, yes all fanbases have their *******s) by attacking the fighter themselves, which naturally antagonises the entire fanbase, not just the guys you wanted to get to... it creates or perpetuates the exact kind of Bullsh1t we're talking about. So you're as much a part of the problem as they are ... and yeah 'they' probably think 'you' started it too, as if that schoolyard sh1t is really an argument that a guy in their mid-30s should be using.
Revere is a BIG word.
I don't see many people revering Golovkin on this site. A few, maybe more than a few, like the guy in my sig. Other than that, he has some good, reasonable fans.
He also has his own harsh critics.
Ward is a fake. He couldn't even beat an alcoholic without bent judges and a crooked ref. GGG would have anihilated him at 168.
Does me saying that make you hate Golovkin even more?
I hope so. GGG hate threads are funny as fuck!
ward made kovalev quit and he made golovkin tuck his tail and fight dom wade and a welterweight....hes also made you angry....he also made 2 mil for barrera 2 for brand and about 13.5 for the kovalev fights....not bad for a featherfisted bum who cant draw flies in oakland huh? oh and hes healthy as a horse and will be cemented as a 168 kingpin and 2 division world champion......
has ggg even unified yet? or beaten the lineal MW champ? whats he waiting for...hes damn near 36
LOL@you....what a fool
Cos fans will be fans, man. They overlook the ish that makes their guy look bad and overstate the ish that makes 'em look good. The worst of them think that trashing other fighters is a way of making their guy look better... and people who trash on other fighters in order to somehow 'get revenge' on rival fanbases are equally pathetic in my book. None of you guys hear of taking the higher ground? Anyway, you're talking like one group is worse than another, when actually they're much of a sameness. Regardless, man, I rather talk about boxing than boxing fans (or whatever you call the oddballs who post on boxing forums) so I'm out of here. Hope you have a happy New Year.

im always open for a rational discussion
how come ggg and his fans killed canelo for fighting a WW than did it.....how come they killed cotto for asking for a CW than said it was ok to ask ward for one? im sure you have some built in excuse because "they arent in the same division"....but golovkin was trying to make fights in that division and said he would fight there....and he was actively looking for a big fight that would get his name out there
how come its ok for golovkin to duck in order to chase a big money fight....but when canelo makes a couple of big fights, instead of golovkin, and then still gets golovkin his fight he is a pansy?

Canelo and GGG have both been my favorite boxers for years. GGG's dream is still to unify 160 but he put his dream on hold for by far the biggest, highest paying fight of his career. He fights for a living and he is getting old. You should ask yourself why you dislike GGG. He is an exciting KO artist who defends his title more often per year than any other champion in boxing. He has given every top middleweight who was willing to fight him a shot at his titles.If he beats Canelo in the rematch Saunders will get his shot at GGG's titles next.
I'm also a big GGG fan, but I don't hate Canelo. I blame his trainer and De La hoya for those bullshit games with Caneloweight, time dated "offers" and stalling till they thought GGG was past prime.
when did he prove himself superior in the ring? i must have missed that one.....are you going to bore me with the "most press though he won and i know he won" blah blah BS just like guys would swear that "weeks cheated kovalev" and "lowblow" nonsense?
cotto was offered a CW fight for the title...because it was a great fight financially for martinez.....cotto offered canelo a fight at a CW for it because that was a great fight financially for both guys......they all made business decisions......is that only allowed for golovkin?
golovkin did claim to be something other than a MW....do i have to run that whole thing back again?
golovkin also claimed he couldnt get big fights....yet after watching cotto and canelo play with the belts at CW he refused to even try to negotiate a fight with either at a CW
cotto and canelo both served notice at the time that they were doing CW fights...so when they were in his "domain" he should have taken notice on that.......but he flat out refused to even try to make a fight with them all while claiming his dream was to "unify" ....or so we thought when he ducked ward
yet saunders is out there with that WBO and he been chasing a guy that dropped his WBC belt
Seeing fans overrate fighters and make ridiculous claims about them being great while ****ting on more accomplished fighters, does make people dislike fighters. That's a fact.
Ward is a fake. He couldn't even beat an alcoholic without bent judges and a crooked ref. GGG would have anihilated him at 168.

he is an exciting KO artist(against C level comp) and he is active...and hes very talented...never denied that......just wondering why it was ok for him to ask for a CW but not for cotto...or why its ok for him to protect his financial interests and maximize his earnings but its not for canelo....or why its ok for him to fight a WW but its not ok for canelo?

Canelo has a larger fan base yet you think he isn't revered? Canelo never tested himself at 154 outside of his CW fight with Floyd and a disputable win over Lara. Both Charlo bros., Andrade, Williams, all missing from resume. As MW champ he never fought Jacobs, Lemiueax, Saunders, and came in much bigger than Cotto and Khan. He cashed in on Chavez Jr at 164 while avoiding GGG because he was t ready for MW, even though he was a title holder at 160. Good fighter but no one was ducking Canelo, lots of fighters avoided GGG.
I'm sure they think they're being defensive and responsive too. The opposing fanbases are basically mirror images of each other, no matter that (obviously) each side completely believes it's delusions and believes that 'the other side' started it. As a sociological phenomenon it's kinda interesting but it's an utter waste of time to engage in - all that's happening is that both sides become increasingly entrenched and rational discussion becomes impossible.

of course there are anti golovkin threads every day...and there are 2-3 every day about floyd and ward...its all responsive and defensive action
see my thing is...kind of my point....these same fans are going to take loma down the same road.....loma is a guy that really no boxing fan should hate...hes great....but theyve already began to take him down that road with teh floyd threads and ward cheating threads and what have you.....but they are going to knock the **** out of floyd ward canelo cotto etc until people loathe loma
and a part of me thinks some of these guys want that...they feed off it...they want most of the board to hate on a guy so they can live through their triumphs and point the "told u so" finger

LOL....so they dont have 10 million to guarantee him against cotto or hatton....but they got 7 mil for him against a guy nobody knows.....look at the source too...maxboxing...LOL...a known joke
even though later arum confirmed floyd would have accepted 8 mil to fight him? seems contradictory
your whole timeline is off...the offer to fight margarito was after he beat judah
sharmba mitchell was his first fight at welterweight in which he was testing the weight jump after the gatti fight.....that margarito offer was 3 fights into his WW campaign
now how am i supposed to take you seriously?

We're done here.
ive just exposed your "he had an offer to fight margarito but chose sharmba mitchell instead" BS....you cant really be taken seriously by anyone now
It doesn't matter who's more successful. Brainless haters like you don't care about that, all they care about is picking on fighters they hate over smallest things or just simply lying and rewriting history. Look at this threads for example. Canelo said 'in Mexico we don't **** around' in front of the whole world and then proceeded to fight Khan, Smith and fight at his made up 155 limit. It was one of the clearest ducks I've seen. And yet here you are asking why is he hated like he's the victim here not Lil G lmao. That's ignorance at its finest.
Those were just examples, I could come up with many more. You say me claiming Ward is a fouler has no merit... How am I suppose to take you seriously when you say things like this? Of course he's a fouler and has fouled in many fights, including his biggest fights, and I have videos to prove it.
Floyd had a 7 million offer to fight Margarito didn't accept it and fought Mitchell for 4 million instead. That's a duck.
You choose to ignore these facts because you're a fanboy and that's fine. Just stop accusing others of the things you do as well.

you thinking wards punches on kovalevs beltline are not definitive proof that wards resume and career arent greater than golovkins ...not even close
http://www.espn.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=2420382
Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million.
Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.
"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."
floyd never ducked margarito...margarito is a proven bum that floyd would have beaten easily......once he left TR, reasons why explained in link, he was unable to make fights with any TR fighters....he couldnt get cotto till cotto got away from TR......bob miscalculated floyds whole career and began pumping the "floyd is ducking margarito" myth after floyd left and used golden boy to promote his fights....even a blind man can see that

You should be asking, "Why is lil G revered in Mexico, the home of superstar Canelo?" Hehe...
revered ??? just look at his ratings... female boxing has similar if not higher rating.. i wont even compare to canelo cuz that is like 10 times higher, lol..
