GGG is the new eastern European star

[NearHypnos]

Vits was never the Lineal champion and had only one defense as world champion. His bogus paper title means nothing. And how can Wlad be undisputed if Vittles has the WBC trinket? Are you a lttle slow sometimes? Maybe you're drinking? GGG has already passed both in popularity and excitement. He gives the fans what they want. Long live the assassin from Asia!!!

Meanwhile... The k Bros selling out stadiums. :/

That is awesome they can sell out stadiums in Europe for 3 bucks a seat. What they can't do is stay on HBO, and what they don't have is crossover appeal. The Asian assassin has both these things!

in Europe Klitschkos sell out soccer stadiums. GGG is not even close to them in popularity.
Klitshkos are a lot more well known world wide.
Not to mention Klitschkos made pro boxing popular in Eastern, Central Europe and maybe even in the rest of Europe. GGG didn't do much for boxing yet.
You should be banned, because almost every post you attack people and take everything personally.

Not all look like that. Google Nicolai Antropov or Yaroslava Shvedova. Face it, he may be half Russian, but if you're half Asian, born and live in Asia than you will be considered Asian. Race only matters to the weak who need something to cling to. This is like taking candy from a small child. I can see your faces turning red with anger....any minute you're going to burst into tears!!

Antropov is ethnic Russian, he is not Kazakh lol, go ahead and google it lol I just did

[Weltschmerz]

Just wanted to discuss Tripe G's career and stuff

Go ahead and prove all your claims. Do you want me to prove GGG is more popular on HBO?

[Grimgash]

He's half korean, lives in asia....he's asian. It's that simple...now is he fully eastern asian? No but he still is, he's pretty much the opposite of what you'd consider a white guy.

So did I. He's Kazakhstani with Canadian citizenship. Sorry bud, you lose trying to claim all Kazakh look identical to Chinese.

Tunney, is this one of your alts?

Golovkin is half Asian. White supremacists wouldn't consider him a pure blood.

and you're a full blooded hood rat.

Kazakhs are Turkic/Mongolic/Iranic, 70% of Kazakhs have some Caucasian features, similar to Iranians, such as blue eyes, white skin or light brown hair etc...

Claiming them to be white is a insult to them, some would beat the crap out of you if you suggested they are something their not as you would insult their heritage and culture.

GGG considers himself a Kazakh (ie from Kazakhstan) an' that's good enough for me.

FWIW (an' I don't actually give a **** what his ethnicity is, I'm just a bit of a GGG geek) GGG is not an ethnic Kazakh, Kazakhstan was one of the Soviet Unions favourite places for moving troublesome or inconvenient populations as well as being subject to various 'development' drives (kinda like the 'Go west, young man' thing in the US). The Korean part of his heritage (his mam) woulda have been a 3rd or perhaps 4th Generation Soviet Korean - (lotta Koreans entered Russia after the Japanese effectively turned Korea into a slave colony in the late 1800s/early 1900s) - Stalin decided that they belonged in K'Stan and they had 'Korean Soviet' - collective farms, towns villages etc where ethnic ****geny was largely maintained.

His Pa is Russian (ain't got a clue whether that's ethnic Russian) and could be from anywhere - lotta Caucasian peoples were 'resettled' in K'Stan, the Volga Germans also - could be the descendant of enthusiastic Soviet youngsters who went to work on the collective farms in the name of the revolution, or professional or military families sent to 'develop' the Soviet Republic - the point being especially in the Stalin years there were huge population movements in the SU -some voluntary, more- less so, and Kazakhstan was a favoured destination in both cases. This kinda makes K'Stan massively ethnically diverse (the SU included over a hundred different ethnicities and many of those, due to the history of the SU are represented in the Kazakh population).

Any case - GGG is a Kazakh citizen and shows every sign of being proud of the fact. What else matters?
