Comments Thread For: Golovkin Easily Blasts Out Geale in Three Rounds

This guy acting like he defeated Tommy Hearns or SRL. This over hyped g dude hasn't fought anyone that's a household name. But his supporters still think he's this beast when in fact he's a damn fraud. .....

I'm wondering what other frauds could stop Geale in three rounds.

Yes he should. He didn't have to fight Trout, he wanted to. He didn't have to fight Lara, he wanted to. GGG promoted himself as willing to fight anybody from 54-68. And when Ward calling, his tune changed. It became about unifying at middleweight, until Chavez Jr's name came up. But when that fell through, unifying at middleweight was once again the priority. And the entire time, he keeps calling for a fight with the welterweight champ. That's duck **** IMO.

He deserves some credit but not a lot, given the fact that everybody around his weight wants to fight him. And Lara had been calling him out for a while, it's only after Lara confronted him at the press conference that Canelo decided to fight him, because it created some buzz and the landscape at 154 is pretty barren.

GGG didn't promote ****, he was asked if he was willing to fight anybody from 154 to 168 and he said yeah because he is. You need to separate what the fighters want from what their promoters advise them to do. Obviously his promoter advised him to stay at 160 a while longer because of the financial opportunities there.

GGG has the sort of power where you would assume he would fall in love with it. But he stays disciplined, he stays balanced, he cuts off the ring effectively and he never wastes a shot. SCARY good.

Ray Robinson wasn't held to as high a standards as Floyd.

That is by far the ******est **** I ever read. I lost IQ points having read such a moronic comment

I didn't see Geale being a challenge for GGG and it played out pretty much as I expected: Geale's movement and work rate giving GGG some irritation for a few rounds but GGG's power eventually affecting Geale.

I really enjoy watching this guy fight but HBO's ****-riding is something special.

I think Team GGG regrets going on record that they'll accept any challenge at 154-168. I noticed in the post-fight interview that GGG was explicit about unifying at 160 only. His management probably coached him on this. They don't want None of Ward right now. Pretty obvious. Style-wise, Ward is all wrong; the Oakland fighter is bigger, more experienced, most def not as attractive economically. Too many reasons to not make the fight.

Aside from Sam Soliman, I don't think any unification fight happens at MW. No Al Haymon fighter will step to Gennady. Team GGG will use this to rationalize their long-term plan to chase Canelo who can weigh close to 170 on fight night; or Cotto, if that lands in their lap at 154 (unlikely). If they have to look north of 60, it'll be Froch or Chavez Jr, with Ward a parsec third option.

When did he say he defeated a guy on par with Hearns or SRL??? Define "acting like".

I'm a big GGG fan, but Geale was never a threat. He doesn't offer anything that Golovkin hasn't seen before. The only boxer who can beat Golovkin is Ward. Everyone else around his weight will have to bully him or hurt him to beat him. Really so far his competition has been below average.

He's so good that he makes his competition look below average. Fixed it for you.

Below average compared to what? His hype, I agree. But again, you demand he goes up and scores a win far better than anything p4p #2 Ward has ever gotten, as his only challenge.
