Comments Thread For: The world is his oyster: Janibek Alimkhanuly anticipates reaching superstardom like Gennadiy Golovkin

GGG wasn't a "Superstar", he was a star in the boxing world, and that's it.

Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day atop Mt. Enlightenment to climb down and explain that for the rest of us.

this guy will do anything to pay four fees about 11%

He's not nearly as exciting to watch as Triple G was.
On a side note , how is his last name pronounced ? I've heard it said a few ways. He ought to just go by Janibek . How about " Sanibel , the Kazakh Killer " , that's a much better boxing name , better than Janibek The Unpronounceable.

This guy is just a slow plodding robot who gases by 8th round. He is nowhere GGG. Even. Daniel Jacobs is better than this overhyped guy

This guy needs to stop talking, win upcoming fight convincingly fashion and get in the ring with Adames asap. Prove your worth Janibek!

Adames hasn't done much to prove his worth at 160 either. Adames/Janibek were going back and forth on Twitter, and then nothing happened. Politics is absolutely killing this division. Hopefully, Turki can intervene.

He's no GGG and at this point GGG career (8 years in) he'd already fought some recognizable names like Ishida, Macklin, Rosado and Stevens.

Only name that's somewhat decent one Zhanibeks resume is Brant as a former champion but even that's questionable not as a win but is so far as being "decent"...

Once he gets to 20 fights there will be more to look at as far as who and what he is, that is usually the barometer or at least it used to be, as long as he get to 20 before he is close to 40 that is.................

[famicommander]

He needs to fight Adames and Lara as soon as possible.

[Smash]

he will never get to ggg level, ggg forced canelo to drop his belt, bek forced andrade to drop his

[Malvado]

That seems like a tall task, it is true that GGG's dominant run was during a time were the division was pretty average. But at least he had someone to fight, he beat Lemieux, Rosado, Derevychenko, Murata, Jacobs and debatably Canelo in their prime.

In the other hand the current version of the middleweight division is quite subpar, where a shell of himself Erislandy Lara whose 41 years old just had earned a title by brutally stopping a Interim WBA champion in two rounds, a gatekeeper of 154 in Adames is a champion and a 19 year old Elijah Garcia was a top contender.

Unless he is willing to cut down to 154 or fight as the smaller man at 168, quite doubt he will have the success he is aiming for.

Want to see him fight Hamzah Sheeraz before doing that though.

Another eurobum lmao. Ggg wasn’t no superstar he was a can crusher
