Do people realize how good Matthew Macklin is?

[jaestix1]

Outside of Paul Williams he gave both Sergio and Sturm(yes Macklin was better than Geale, Murray, Cintron despite the decisions they got) their toughest and closest fights of the past 5+ years. Macklin is a legitimate Top 5 MW with real talent.

If GGG is able to beat Macklin or possible KO it would speak volumes iit would confirm the elite talent everyone sees

stop trying to hype up macklin to make ggg look better. ggg is a f***ing hype job.

British boxers are regarded as bums until a popular fighter needs to pad their record out against them. Then they were world class all along :/

How is he a hype job? He must be a bit more than that, as when he gets mentioned to any other top level fighter that he wants to get in the ring with, they suddenly become business managers instead of fighters.

Do people realize how good GGG's beat downs are? It'll be fantastic.

Because everybody hypes him like crazy even though he has only beaten nobodys so far. His resume is garbage. Offcourse he is gonna like great against b-level opposisition.

His resume is not the best, but his pedigree is very real. This is why he has trouble getting a resume in the first place. He is also a very entertaining fighter, so the hype is sure to follow.

My perception is this. Until the other big dogs are willing to step into the square circle with him and beat him, he deserves the hype. Macklin stood up. Macklin has fought the top level guy before, and did pretty well against him. Props to Macklin. I am not going to call Golovkin a hype job if no other belt holder is willing to fight him. Until someone proves otherwise by beating him easily, he is no hypejob. He is very real and avoided for a reason.

Macklin was never a bum anyone who said he was doesn't know boxing

Macklin is 100% getting knocked out, I cant see it going past 6 rounds.
