Do you remember before that? When all the Rigondeaux fans were calling an entire division scared and he hadn't fought anyone? Were as many people saying that was Rigondeaux's fault as are saying it's Golovkins fault? The Rigondeaux fans are among the loudest calling Golovkin a fraud that cherry picks easy fights. They should sympathize more with Golovkin's plight than anyone.
spot on bro, the Rigo fans were crowning him as the greatest even before he'd beaten anyone legit at super bantam but rigo proved how good he is against Donaire.
GGG has a possible opportunity at proving himself against Geale and possibly Chavez/Martinez/Sturm at some point later this year or next.
If you think fans influence what fights get made, you're naive.
Fans wanting Mayweather-Pacquiao didn't help that fight get made.
Fans wanting Kovalev-Stevenson didn't help that fight get made.
Fans wanting Chavez-Golovkin didn't help that fight get made.
Sure these fights were in talks of happening, but all of them fell through, whether because of different promotions or one or both fighters wanting more money.
Are you serious? I'd say that almost all top fights gets made because of demand from fans. It's a business dude. What about Froch-Groves II?
I heard Canelo is having trouble staying at 154. This would be a fight I would pay for. There is a video floating around the net of GGG sparring with Canelo, it was only sparring but Canelo gave the better of it.
There is no video, just a text report.
