    You're right, there is nothing wrong with this picture
    He's fighting a 3 division champion and former 154 title holder, you know, the division where Sergio spent 85% of his career coming of a year layoff and knee surgery. Now compare that to Rosado, Ishida and Kirkland (who we all know is going to be GGG's opponent after Adama).

    You forget that Sergio started his career at 147 too, moved up to 154, and then moved up again to 160. GGG catches flack because it's true, no one is making up false claims about him. HBO is the one hyping him up as God so yeah, people are going to poke holes in that claim. Sergio is already fighting bigger guys as it is while GGG is not fighting guys up at 168. The Cotto fight is more of a level playing field considering the dude won't have even stepped in a boxing ring in a year and 3 months and is coming off of a second crucial knee surgery.

    You guys want to call it "ducking" but I call it GGG and his team looking for an easy payday because if they fought a healthy Sergio who was fresh, homeboy would get his face smashed in. I know 100% that is why everyone is pushing so hard for that fight at this time because that is the only hope in hell he would ever have to win, even HBO knows it.

        Sergio Martinez is a Lineal MW champion of the world and he's fighting a career Welterweight wheter you like it or not.

        Ishida fought 9 times in MW division, Rosado caused a lot of problems (and arguably was wining on scorecards) to Quillin,who as shitty as he is, is still a WBO champ..

        Now please define "healthy" Sergio. Because in his last 2 fights (before Murray) "healthy" Sergio was knocked down by Matthew Macklin (aka "Good boy") and JCC Jr (aka "Ganja Boy")

        GGG is a stylistic nightmare for Sergio, and he would beat both prime and past prime Sergio Martinez.

        Dea with it.

          Whatever bro, let GGG keep fighting scrubs, I know what he is and so does HBO....when a network passes on fights that means they know you are a fake, you need to deal with that.

            Maybe you want to bet some points on it?

            You pick 3 MW fighters that you think would beat GGG. If one of them will beat Golovkin, I will send you all my e-points. If not, you will send me all your points.

                Wilder by a country mile. He needs to fight Chisora, Fury or Arreola. Heck, even fighting someone like Andy Ruiz Jr. or Bryant Jennings would be a big step up from his previous opponents.

                  As many others I think Mr. Gary Rusell

                  In terms of talent he could be fighting in the elite level

                  But his oppositon so far has been incredibily mediocre

                    It's time for him to step up & show the world what he can do against the elite competition.
