So let me get this straight this bytch BEFORE the fight says GGG entire career a failure if he loses then GGG loses Jim pulls a 180 and now he writes this long BS about how losing don't matter GGG is already a modern day Muhammad Ali LMAO
And you wonder why the media had it for GGG yet the fighters and trainers overwhelming had canelo winning. Because you had some bias media with an agenda and Jim made it clear his agenda with that letter. Fighters and trainers weren't on some fanboy shyt and had cards filled out for GGG even before the fight and a list of excuses ready when he lost.
Stop beating around the bush and say it Lampley full of shyt and comes off as a sore loser GGG fanboy. Disrespectful to the sport and Ali to even say what he said[/QUOTE
I'm not beating around the bush I came out and said it's a non issue. Can't be any plainer than that.
Lampley unfortunately used Ali as a comparison to illustrate how Golovkin has expanded his fan base. Unfortunate because Ali is revered and any comparison begs a further comparison of boxing ability and personal achievements. My impression is that isn't the case at all. In other words chill out this is a non issue.

What ridiculous ****. You see why GGG always gets these terribly biased cards in favor of him on HBO. Good riddance once they stop showing boxing.
How can you ever trust this man calling a fight again...ESPECIALLY if GGG is involved. Nail in the coffin for HBO
Lamps is losing it, Get well soon.
He lost all credibility. How can you take him serious calling another fight ESPECIALLY a fight involving GGG. How can you go from he got a shaky resume with folks killing him for not fighting anyone and if he loses to canelo his career is a failure then he loses and days later him not winning is no big deal because he already a modern Muhammad Ali. He never did this shyt for fighters who ACTUALLY got robbed. Even the folks who didn't have it for Canelo thought it was a draw or GGG barely escaped, there is no debate that GGG dominated at worse it's a close fight he didn't win. It's a disrespect to fighters who really got robbed to act like this. And he never compared real fighters with dominating wins over elite guys to Ali who already was the people champ and slayed dragons before Frazer. GGG beat bums and the moment he stepped up the 2 good fighters he faced he looked bad going officially 1-1-1 in those fights all controversial. A case could be made he lost all those fights and stopped being what the media hyped him to be. His label as killer ended once he stopped fighting tomato cans and at worst he lost the only fights against good fighters at best he showed no separation from them. That makes you Ali? SMH
Wasnt he comparing a situation? Something about like ali losing the frazier fight actually gained him more fans or something. I'd have to re-read, but if true, as always, fanboys will fanboy.
It was still a bad comparison because Muhammad Ali was already the people's champion but was stripped of his official crown because he was a conscientious objector to the Vietnam war. Ali gained more fans before the first Joe Frazier fight due to his activism and controversial stand against Vietnam.
Lampley said Golovkin's career will amount to a failure if he loses to Canelo before the fight:

Now that Canelo won he's changed his tune and now Golovkin is the peoples champion who can't get a fair shake by the powers that be. As a blow by blow guy there's none better than Jim but Lampley has ALWAYS been about emotions and supporting the guy he thinks is "nicer". He exaggerates way too much, how do you even compare an outspoken black boxer in 70s America who the establishment hated for not serving his country to a WHITE boxer who got beat by a MEXICAN. WTF is wrong with him?
HBO seems to realize Canelo is all but gone so they are slurping GGG to keep him on the network. Maybe they will have him headline cards with cheaper big fights from the lower division.
Did you seriously sit there and compile this list ? :lol1::lol1:
nope. Somebody else did got to love the internet. Just like I didn't take these pics after the fight but I got them too

The Internet is UNDEFEATED!!! Someone MJ'd GEE...
I was robbed doe LMAO
Is there anyone who values Lampley's opinion anymore? I don't think there are many. And if they do this one might lose them cuz calling GGG a modern day Ali is one of the oddest comparison's I've heard in boxing in a minute & its not like there aren't a lot of mfers in boxing saying nutty sh^t.
He knows much more boxing than kellerman. And he's less biased than roy jones. Undeserved hate, but who in this business doesnt get undeserved hate?

Not according to all these fighters and trainers who agree with the judges and scored the fight for canelo. How can sooo many fighters see it one way but the media doesn't?

Ali became a global icon and the most recognizable human being on the planet not because of his work inside the ring but more for his work outside of it. To be fair to GGG, he is remotely even known outside of the boxing circles; Let alone the entire globe.
real talk and to be fair I have not even seen a single GGG fan co-sign this. Lampley completely went off his rocker on this one. And it's so disrespectful to Ali and what he did and meant to even say this.

Lampley is way off in comparing GGG to Ali. It just goes to show his emotions sometimes get the best of him. Dude starts crying at the end of every boxing telecast.
These media dudes was so emotional seeing GGG who they built up and told fans was Superman they don't know how to act seeing him get walked down and whooped Mexican style. Just keep all the excuses for what GGG couldn't do and now they doing everything to change the narrative after his own damn trainer told him he lost the fight. Now he goes from a killer to a jabber who got his face broke. All the fighters, trainers and judges thought he lost. You said he needs to beat Canelo or his career is a failure he doesn't do that and now he's doesn't matter he's already Muhammad Ali. Think about that. Canelo done broke GGG had him running out the ring like a bytch and broke the Stan azzz media members like Jim lampley too. ggg couldn't beat canelo in the ring so the media trying to beat Canelo for him outside the ring.
It's a disrespect to real great fighters with dominating signature wins that Jim never compared or called modern day Muhammad Ali yet before the fight you recognize how thin GGG resume is and say his legacy will be seen as a failure if he loses then say the opposite now calling him already Muhammad phuking Ali and that losing doesn't matter. It just shows most of the media guys were just fans of GGG going in with bias. Fighters and trainers and damn sure the judges didn't build GGG up for years and tears and excuses ready if he lost. The media were fans and how lampley acted shows it.
