      You need a link? Do you not watch boxing? Do you not remember these things happening?

      Geale was ordered to defend his WBA middleweight title against Gennadiy Golovkin but instead took a rematch with Anthony Mundine, so Geale was stripped and GGG was elevated. Then Geale lost his IBF belt to Darren Barker and after a tuneup came crawling back to GGG, who knocked him out in 3 rounds.

      Canelo was ordered to defend his WBC middleweight title against Golovkin but instead he vacated the belt, dropped back down to 154, and fought Liam Smith.

        No different than Thurman vs Pacquiao. 6-6 fight, but the guy who hit the deck took the L and rightfully so.
        "In the Golovkin vs. Derevyanchenko fight, Golovkin landed 243 total punches (34%), while Derevyanchenko landed 230 total punches (31%) out of roughly the same number thrown, with Derevyanchenko landing a notably high number of power punches, according to ESPN and Frontproof Media. Golovkin also out-jabbed Derevyanchenko, landing 107 jabs compared to his 47."

        "The term "Golovkin vs Derevyanchenko robbery" refers to the controversial boxing match where Gennady Golovkin won by unanimous decision against Sergiy Derevyanchenko, a result many fans and experts believed was a robbery and an unjust decision, despite Golovkin's first-round knockdown of Derevyanchenko and his own cut eye from a body shot, as Derevyanchenko had also landed significant shots and dictated the pace of the fight.​"

        ^^^^^^^^ Not my words ^^^^^^^^^

        Nelo beats GGG and it's an outrageous robbery
        No questions asked !!!!

        One Eyed Shortychenko was absolutely robbed
        Had to forgo "jabbing" and go for the KO.

          Nobody cares about your AI nonsense and you don't score a fight with punch stats, you score it round by round.

          Based on 122 fan scorecards on BoxRec, the average score for the fight was 114-113 GGG. Or, like I said, 6 rounds to 6 plus the knockdown.

            My answer is yes. He was better than GGG. However, just like Terence Crawford. Gennady was avoided and ducked a lot by opponents in his career.
            being jeeted out of fights does not excuse golovkin taking zero risks

            golovkin was happy to camp out in a weak ass 160 best opponent being a guy who moved up

            the boxing gods were not pleased with golovkin's risk aversion and cursed him without a decision over Saul

            back in the days they'd do ridiculous weight jumps for opportunities

            golovkin would not even do a 1 weight move

                1 Eyed Chenko got robbed
                Lame, off balanced rabbit punch was scored a KD.

                    I don't get it
                    If fighter B were to have that string of bums as a career highlight, fighter B would be ridiculed into his grave.
