Golovkin vs Adama - Master Thread

[John Locke]

people on here either love or hate GGG. Very few are indifferent towards him.

The bars set high because his fans are setting high.

If you're going to fight bums you need to dominate every second or else you're going to get critisized.

Come-forward fighters get hit, it is what it is. If you run or hug you won't get hit as often, but then no one wants to watch you.

This was similar to the Stevens performance, just seemingly less acceptable to some because Adama wasn't a media-pushed New Yorker.

Look how you ducked my other question, who are these other elite guys?

Yes he's definitely not elite, just because he beat crappy ass Sturm and crappy ass Sylvester it doesn't make him elite, the notion is laughable.

He's been in with former world champ and top contender Karmazin. Elite is not P4P, it's anybody who reaches the world championship level, which is a very small % of boxers.

Who do you consider elite at MW? Because I can trash their resume as easily as you did to Geale.

How are expectations high? Is it too much to ask him to step up and fight somebody a bit better than a crude 154lber whose career highlight is going the distance with featherduster fists Geale?

Fanboys only see what they want to see.

For a guy who fights every 3 months, you have to give him credit.

He's fought 8 times in a little over two years (give or take 2-3 months).

It's not like he's avoiding other fighters. If the bigger names in the division aren't stepping up, he at least takes a stay-busy fight instead of waiting for everyone else.

An awkward bum that gave Geale about all he could handle not to mention all of his losses have been close affairs. GGG just iced him.

does not mean he isnt a bum. he is. one fight does not make a career.

A few years ago Martinez couldn't beat Macklin or Barker easily but he would beat Golovkin easily?

He beat Macklin easily.

And style make fights it's like saying "Golovkin couldn't even beat Ouma easily how will he beat Macklin easily?"

You obviously don't read my posts if you think I never say anything about Ward :Lola:

Are you just guessing what I say? I don't understand.

Obviously the bar is high the way people act about Golovkin.

You've got to expect critism if you fight a bum and have a few problems.

okay how about floyd fans getting so high to floyd did u said anything to them?

These same ppl hating on golovkin would be calling marvin hagler a bum for taking 10 rounds to KO roldan.

Adama isn't a 154lber, he has fought at SMW and LHW before, same for Stevens.

The whole 154lb opponent thing is a little bit worn out.

People are acting as if GGG is the only one not fighting other champions, it does take two to make a bout happen. The top 5 at MW haven't fought each other for one reason or another. It is hella annoying, but at least 3G is aiming to fight 4 times a year. Who else is doing that? Murray/Quillin/Geale fight twice a year, Sturm has already ducked him, and Martinez is fighting Cotto.
