People who think GGG is just a talentless brawler

Martinez is older and GG is younger. Martinez has been in wars with superb fighters, GG has not. Until GG fights someone with a pulse, we won't know how good he is regardless of his what his former amateur pedigree was.Comment

We doubt him because he is a world champion who has not been tested yet. We can't be sold on a guy who has not been punched in the mouth/body over and over and over and won a war of attrition. You can't dominate everyone. As untouchable as Floyd has been recently...Floyd Mayweather has been in wars before.Comment

GGG would beat the current Martinez. I'm 100% positive.Comment

Here at NSB, if you're not a pure boxer ala Floyd, Ward, Rigo or a counterpuncher like Marquez.. You're a brawler lol. I don't think a lot of people understand the technicalities of boxing.Comment

The people that worship Golovkin is just as guilty of thinking he's only a brawler. I for one don't think he's talentless or a brawler but he is untested and have some flaws. Macklin was not a test. Macklin folded before he could test Golovkin. His amateur record is great but has little to do with the kind of professional he'll be. Stevens probably won't test him either but if he lands a lucky shot he definitely has the KO power to put all this debate about Golovkin to rest.Comment

He folded because he literally got his ribs broken. He couldn't test Gennady because he was never in the position to; all credit to GGG for that. Either way, I still see Golovkin having a great career. I haven't been one to jump on any bandwagons, but I see GGG having something special. If I'm wrong, so be it. I think we'll eventually see something special tho.The people that worship Golovkin is just as guilty of thinking he's only a brawler.

for the hype hes been getting he really hasnt fought anyone. martinez destroyed two p4p fighters back to back to win the MW title, proving beyond doubt he is the best MW in the world. slipping or not someone has to beat him to take that crown, yet plenty of ppl are crowning ggg the king of the MWs. you can say martinez doesnt want to fight him all you want but the right to fight the champ is something that has to be earned and golovkin did no such thing.
rosado and ishida are fringe contenders/journeymen at 154 lbs. ouma is a washed up 154lber who really belongs at 147 imo. stevens is a real MW but not a real good one, decent fighter with a great punch sums him up. the only real opponent on his record is macklin, a true MW and among the 6-8 best fighters in the division. but theres a big difference between the top 10 and the very best.
personally i believe ggg is the truth, no doubt about it. but he hasnt proved it, far from it. i never heard anyone call him a talentless brawler or anything of the kind, not once. plenty of ppl are questioning his resume but they should, it doesnt mean he isnt one hell of a fighter just that hes yet to prove it.Comment
