    He went up and beat the 168 champ while he waited, its just not on BoxRec

      Oh okay your excellent advice of 'Just move up and fight Andre Ward' solves all of his issues. Lol come on man every post you have reeks of some weird sort of jealously.

        Ishida was ranked as a middleweight. But he was only ranked 15th. I am still waiting to see GGG fight a top five heavyweight.

          Did he fight 154 pounders while he waited, though?

            I dont know but fought A LOT of absolute nobodies. People need to look at Hagler's resume when they bring him up. He fought a whole lot of stay busy fights and guys 10X worse then Ishida. Look at his 3 opponents before he fought Vito in his first shot, absolute nobodies and the fight right before vito took 8 rounds to retire, in Monte Carlo nonetheless

              Russian, Hagler was named the people's champion by Ring Magazine years before he could secure a title shot from the elusive champions. While Hagler waited at the #1 spot he beat five top ten contenders in a years time. Not sure if using Hagler is the best comparison choice.

                I wasnt the one the brought him up. Point is Hagler waited and wouldnt budged from 160 and fought many stay busy fights and fighters way worse then ishida in the meantime.

                  It's cool Russian. As my response had nothing to do with GGG.

                  I was just pointing it out because I was as big fan back then as I am now. A lot of those guys may have looked like they were on Ishida's level only because Hagler made them look that way.

But that doesnt work for Golovkin, he should move up right, time to back track. What was the point of bringing Hagler up? Look at who Hagler fought, he fought a lot of "ishidas" and stay busy fights, so its funny that you criticize that too. Look at the 3 guys he fought right before his first shot at Vito, absolute nobodies!

                    no, no actually he didnt beat a lot of ishidas. sounds more to me that u dont know what u are talking about. instead of going in attack mode how about u use your brain. and yes this is from the other thread so i decided to combine it. u seem to think my hagler comparison works in golovkins favor? it doesnt. golovkin should try to make things happen instead of waiting. i do not get why saying so is a problem. he has very odd fans. it'll be funny to see how many stick around if he continues to wait tho.

                      i didnt say he must fight andre ward. but if andre ward was willing to fight him are u telling me thats a bad fight? and whats this with jealousy? theres no need to be jealous of golovkin. hes a good fighter, but he hasnt achieved anything in the professional sport. wanting him to should not be an issue. the fact that certain fighters are ducking him is also not an end route to saying he doesnt have a lot to prove. thats my point. ppl wanna take it and run with it, thats on u. but its either make **** happen, watch **** happen, or not know what happens.
