Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin: Building An International Superstar

[artfuL_]

K2 have laid out the perfect blueprint for promoting an international fighter, if Rigo had the same amount of resources put behind him by Top Rank, he wouldn't be to far behind.

A certain demographic of posters on this site will be up in this thread shorty, losing their mind at the theme of this article.

Y'all know what I'm talking about

"What has Gennady Golovkin ever done for me?"

GGG brings out some of the most vile scum on Boxingscene. See earlier posts for evidence.

All comes crashing down after Ward chews him up in a boring Unanimous Decision

Why is Ward looking to fight middleweights, why hasn't he challenged a bigger star in Stevenson or a bigger, harder puncher in Kovalev?

Oh Ward, what a hero

He isn't. Most of these posters just want him to fight Ward because they want to see Golovkin lose. Anyway, his team have said he's not going to Super-Middle any time soon.

Won't happen. GGG and his management seem perfectly content having his balls massaged for beating up people nobody's ever f.uckin' heard of.

Well if it's Mora or Kirkland...

Right, fight a couple jr middleweights. And not very good ones at that. But to his credit, he did say 54-68, so I guess they're fair game.

I think Rigo will eventually make it but he ain't being helped. Thing is whoever the stick in front of him he'll beat so eventually he'll surely get there ...

Actually GGG's popularity has taken a hit the last couple months in the US and in the EE. His people and himself said they would fight anyone from 154-168 and now they are saying it's not fair to ask him to move up to 168. You can't talk out of both sides of your mouth which they have got caught doing the last couple months. Fighting in Monte Carlo as nothing to do with time zones for live tv in EE. They get paid the same amount of $ that they do on HBO and they can fight even bigger bums. HBO isn't airing it because they knew the numbers for the fight would be poor because of time and opponent and now that the #'s are being posted, they didn't want people to know that their superstar had terrible numbers in order to pump the next b level opponent for April. I like GGG but Abel and Loeffler are full of bs.

He said he would, he said he'll fight anyone from 154-168 everyones scared of him. Facts are facts and he's afraid of Ward. I think GGG is highly skilled and can be a great fighter, but he's done jack all to prove it. People love power punchers, it is what it is...but as a boxing fan I respect his talents and feel he can be great, but he needs to fight someone to prove it...if he's the future #1 p4p and everyones afraid of him take wards challenge...why not? Fight Mora it's better than this silly fight he's having next.

Not everyone is afraid of him, he's using it as marketing...the 160 division is a fairly weak overall division so when he needs to make noise its going to have to be 168, it's a tough division tho Ward is ahead of the class there. That said Ward should hit up 175 soon if GGG won't show up and fight him.
