I think he's a Christian. Gennady is a typical Russian name. Also, his brothers fought in the first Chechen war, on the side of the Russians, so I don't think his family was muslim.
As ИATAS said, so far GGG haven't revealed his religious preferences, so it could happen that he is an atheist.
BTW I haven't heard about his brothers fighting in Chechen war, where did u get it from?
And for your information on the "Russian" side many nationalities fought including muslims since Russia is a multinational country.
GGG brand is developing very quickly and existence of haters is just essential part of popularity. as time goes by and haters talk ****, GGG will be cleaning out the MW division and there will be less and less excuses left for other title holders to avoid him.
P.S. however in boxing everything can happen, so I wish GGG comes to the ring with cold heart and mind
But problem is that not all people from Kazakhstan are ethnic kazakhs. They coulbe russian, tatar, ukrainian, german or korean etc.
I got your point. but let me ask u, how do u call people who live in Russia? What is the word to embrace all of its citizens?
the answer is : Russians, even though there are plenty of other ethnicities.
So why we cannot apply the same to Kazakhstan's case?
FWIW That little insult at the end wasn't what we normally see from GGG either. 'Go home and tell your parents I say hi' - is kinda saying run along little boy - show mummy what happens when you play with the big boys. Deadly. Wonder if that's one they use in Kazakhstan?
I think u got the message very closely.
If you remember after knocking out Macklin he said smth like: This is my present to him
So the message to Stevens is kind of similar to that. its like: I'm sending my greetings to your parents.
This is common in Kazakhstan, this is sort of trolling after u defeat opponent, or proved you were right.
So when GGG calls someone out on a different network knowing it can't happen, they are ducking GGG, everyone is scared of him etc
Lara does it when it has a realistic chance it could actually happen and GGG gets a pass.
Double standards.
could you give a link where GGG has really called out someone from Showtime?
Sergio Mora, Andre Dirrell, Carl Froch, Sam Soliman, Daniel Geale, Fernando Guerrero have all called out GGG
All but Froch in the last 2 weeks alone.
Yeah everyone is ducking him alright!
Out of your "impressive" list, its only Soliman and Geale who has recently voiced their desire to fight GGG. Interestingly it happened only after the deal with Adama was approved.
Never heard about Fernando Guerrero calling out GGG (please give a link).
Andre Dirrell, Carl Froch - they are calling out to fight at 168? Are you kidding? Thats absolutely irrelevant at this point.
How is it irrelevant?
1. The Golovkids say everyone at 160 is scared so why not move up?
2. Golovkin and his team said they will fight anyone between 154 & 168 (I think they said 175 at one point too)
3. So its fine when he fights guys a division below but not one up?
Golovkin is willing to fight anyone from 154 to 168, when it comes to a really big fight, like Mayweather, Froch or Ward. Nothing has changed on this matter, and the potential fight with Froch and Ward is already building up. But, they have some unfinished business in the MW. As GGG becomes a superstar now, it seems that those shook ones have much less excuses to avoid him. So why don't just wait a little. Fight against Geale aint that bad, right?
Don't you understand? If you don't fight GGG now you are ducking doe, no excuse, no building up the fight for better financial gains, no exploiting other options... Fight him now or you ducking doe.. And guess when he came to all of these fans notice? September 2012 and this is why I call them Sept 2012 fans. But they would try and convince you that they have being following GGG since 2008 etc
i'm following GGG since 2004, so what?
Hope this fight will happen soon and some of the haters would have to shut their mouths and put their tongues into their as$es.
There is no excuse about Macklin's shape, cuz he had a full training camp before fighting Alcine (or whoever). The fight didn't last long which means he was not exhausted and didn't need to recover at all.
It doesn't matter in what form he gonna be, in any case he has no chance to win. In fact none in the MW division is able to compete with GGG.
He is good, but I think I saw a cold sore in Ishida's mouth which might indicate he wasn't as strong as he should have been.
U have no idea about the japanese spirit, maan
Eh? Borrrrat IS from Kazakhstan buddy. Why you so mad?
That doesn't touch me at all. I was just curious whether some users here are really that stupid to label whole nation on the basis of some fictional moron like Borat?
idk if this link will work but lol at this

yeah its funny, however u know dude the kazakh guyz are considered as the top2 meat eaters in the world
no one will fight golovking it's so sad. pirog broke his own back just to duck him. he said it was less painful this way.
this is what I call a good sense of humor :rofl:
Then what is 3G going to do after he beats everyone at MW? Is he going to stay at 160, move down to 154, up to 168 or retire?
After cleaning out the MW division he would definetely either move down or move up in a search for a big fights. But at the same time he won't give up of his MW titles.
dan_cov, i'm just wondered what kind of pathetic loser you are. You always keep whining about GGG and its opposition. Nothing in the world seem to change your mind about that. Why do you need to be so negative and pessimistic? You are like a kid. Be a man, stop whining, give something positive to the world.
haters are you deaf? How many times GGG should say that his focus right now is on unification of the MW belts! So forget about 154-168 statement, ok? Listen to what boss says more carefully. He will eventually come rise to save the 168 weight class.
very simple answer to very stupid question:
Canelo should fight at 160 or drop the belt. If chooses to drop then fight might happen ad negotiable weight later on.
The Kazakhstani are highly known for Olympic boxing and the amateurs. Before independence the would just simmer and represent as Russia. Russians and Meldoniumz doe. I rather like Kazakhstan as their own way. They are dominantly from the ghengis khan race, like a Ruslan or Tszyu phenotype. Putin even has a bit of Mongoloid look to him, a tiny bit. Stalin didn't have that Asian Russian phenotype did he? Mongolians are super thick boned in structure. It's the genetic.
Boxing is very popular here. I believe we have the most Olympic gold medals per person in the world. Started performing as independent state since 1996, Kazakhstan won at least one gold medal from every Olympics. So far: 7 gold medals and 3 Val Barker trophies. Amateur boxing is very popular here, we've got many gyms. Now I see many boxers turn pro, and test themselves in US. In the near future we'll see more world champions form Kazakhstan.
Of course Kazakhstan is a ****hole, just like all other countries that decided to separate from the Motherland
Instead of basking in the glory of being a world superpower with Russia at the helm
these "stan" countries decided to split from the USSR just to embrace their ****ty religions and troglodyte customs and habits, that scumbag traitor Gorbachev be damned to hell for allowing it.
Kazakhs should be thankful they got russian genes in most of their gene pools, thats why they can produce a superior athlete like GGG. kazahkstan dont deserve GGG
Well Kazakhstan maybe a ****hole for many of you. But it is one of the most literate countries in the world, thanks to Soviet system of education. Yes Kazakhstan is no more USSR, its independent, and its great to follow own course rather then someone in the Moscow. Anyway now Kazakshtan and Russia are capitalistic countries that are integrated in the economic union. You would be surprised but Russian genes contain a bid deal of Asian/mongol blood.
