Golovkin vs Adama - Master Thread

[IronDanHamza]

dude really ur a floyd fan and u thought canelo was a threat?
then ur underestimating ur boy floyds skills bad

it u really think floyd is that good u would personally know that canelo + catchweight is an easy cake for floyd

So am I biased or am I underestimating?

Most of the world thought that the fight was at the very least threatening to some degree.

Again I really don't understand what you're trying to say here it's like you're just thinking of something and saying it for the sake of it.

I was impressed with the Canelo win, not so much with the Cotto win.

I was impressed by Golovkin's win over Macklin, not so much with Stevens or Adama.

What's the point and where's the connection you're trying to make?

GGG is doing what he needs/suppose to do vs this caliber of fighters,,

None of the big names are very willing to fight him, though that may change as GGG has built his name up alot on HBO over the past year or so

[RubenSonny]

Even if a division is awful, a fighter can still be elite relative to the division. But thanks for outing yourself as a hater, there's nobody good at 160 so you won't give GGG credit unless he moves up, got it.

Yeah they can be but it doesn't mean they are.

Lovely how you duck the rest of my post again...

Who are these elite guys?

[WheelofConquer]

Why are people calling for a fight with Ward? Just somebody decent at middleweight would suffice or even a Bika/decent bordering world level super middleweight if he chooses to step up in weight.

Ward would utterly embarrass GGG

Ward isn't anywhere near approaching the fictional character you are talking about.

Golovkin is world level, more so than Ward actually, considering he has fought far more internationally.

You cant be serious,,,,, Just because ggg has fought in other countries vs foreign journeymen or fringe contenders does not make him worldly

Ward has beaten the best international fighters like froch, kessler, bika, abraham and they are a whole helluva lot better than macklin, stevens, adama

To date Ward has the better world level accomplishments, either amateur or pro. It's not even debatable.

Another wasted fight on an irrelevant fighter. It's a shame to watch GGG fight these low level fighters in his physical prime knowing he's at the peak of his physical abilities. It's obvious no one legitimate at middleweight wants to fight so why even bother sticking around this division. Up or down he's not that big a mw he can probably fight good opponents at jr.mw.

Why are we even talking about Ward?

How is Martinez getting such a pass, we should be talking about how he is holding the MW belt hostage. The guy is a joke and has always been overrated as hell can't wait till either Cotto or GGG beats the hell out of that fraud.

While I agree Martinez should be fighting GGG I wouldn't go as far as calling him an overrated joke specially when comparing him to guy like Cotto and Golovkin. He's definitely the more accomplished of the three.

My glob, Golovkin would lose to Andre Ward, one of the 3 best fighters on the planet!? What a bum!

Come on, people.

Not only Andre Ward, but also Froch, Kessler, Groves, and probably even Bika. 168 is full of fighters that I am sure would beat Golovkin fairly easily.

Expectations are through the roof.

Adama wasn't even a top 20 MW. Golovkin is ranked #1. Of course expectations would be high.
