Golovkin is a 1 to 100 betting favorite against Andy Lee

[ShoulderRoll]

Golovkin is held to such a ridiculously high standard.

It's other fighters that get held to a high standard. Golovkin gets to face former 154 pounders and lower tier middleweights with impunity.

Outside of those of us on here who have started speaking out about it he gets a free pass.

Can't wait for GGG/Martinez


Props to Martinez for wanting to unify the titles.

I never called him a paper champ, ever. Actually I always forget that he's a title holder, honestly. But now that you mention it, he actually is a paper champ. Look at who he beat for his title. He beat Milton Nunez...yeah, who? That's what a paper champ is.

There ya go. But I bet you didn't know that Nunez was the 3rd choice, after #2 and 3 ranked contenders NJikam and Mundine passed on the vacant title shot, opened up after Sturm paid for the super belt to avoid the GGG mando.

Who are these better MWs willing to fight him? Unless you're saying he's too good for the division, Many of your fellow detractors are not as sold on him.

Hit a nerve? That's all he really is.

Oh i read that wrong, i thought u mean Chavez isnt overhyped. He's the most overhyped fighter in boxing by far. Should have loses to top 30 guys in Vera and Zbik and white washed by Sergio, yet after defeating this monster known as Andy Lee, polls on this website showed close to 50% of people thought he'd beat Sergio Martinez, a healthy one at that. And he was the one avoiding real competition

He was probably more willing earlier, to gain exposure which he now has in spades. But still, do you know a single offer from a SMW he's passed on? For example if Froch sent an offer, I as a GGG fan would be disappointed if he turned it down to fight the likes of Lee.

Froch, Kessler and Hopkins have all expressed interest in fighting Golovkin. Froch said his picks are between Golovkin and Chavez Jr. Kessler mentioned Golovkin as one of his target comeback fights, Hopkins says he wants Froch, Bute, and Golovkin. Hearn says he "loves the idea of Froch-Golovkin".

So all of these 168 fighters have all been quoted as wanting GGG, yet GGG does not move up. Does he really need a special invitation? Just go up, have a statement fight against one of the weaker 168 fighters, and put your name on the 168 list. That's it. Instead he's fighting Ishida, Adama, Lee, and lower ranked MW's like Stevens.

Then why wont the top 160 fighters fight him? Its not a free pass, in fact you're giving a free pass to his duckers, since all you do is complain about his competition, yet not about the actual top MW duckers

Whats he suppose to do, sit and wait for a top MW? Dont be ridiculous

All those guys expressing interest, and yet not one offer was made. And remember, GGG as quoted as saying he wants all those guys as well, except they make 3m per fight vs his 400k. Each one of those fights was made after better name guys passed. But hopefully DiBella sacks up and he gets that valuable Martinez scalp soon.

When Lee was slated to fight Ward a while back, Ward was only a 20-1 Favorite. That fight fell through. Now the only God like fighters who warrant to be a 100-1 favorite against Lee is of course GGG and Ali Raymi.

makes sense. Just bet on under 6 rounds. Andy Lee is going to get retired.
