      Different level of expectations.



      Also, I think Matthysse is a much more proven fighter than GGG, a guy who is being praised for fighting nobodies.

                      Broner's win over Paulie and Demarco is better then anything GGG has done as a pro..He beat 2 current champions and has gone from 130-147...he actually MOVED UP

                          or you hating because people are mentioning him as a Floyd opponent?

                              Post Tyson generation of fans are enamored with power.

                              Fans can like power all they want, but you have to be able to see the other things as well. Anybody can hit hard but that doesn't mean they can box.

                              For **** sake Mike had to KO 20 motha****ers before getting the level of hype Matts did after Mike Dallas Jr. and GGG after Ishida.

                              In GGG's case its hard to blame fans though. HBO is just ****tin on sergio. and , to be fair, he at least has a decorated amatuer career where he displayed a lot of skills.
