Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Blasts Out Rubio in Two Rounds

Ward would embarrass this boy.

is ward still fighting?

[bimhead]

Not just for beating them but for knocking them the f*** out.
At least when he fights weak opposition he does what he's suppose to, and KO's them.

When Ward fought Rodriguez, he bored us to death with a 12 round decision.

you took the words right outta my head!

[hitking]

boring!!??..come pared to what,and who?

GGG is boring to me. He KOs people. But there's very little excitement for me seeing him beat up bums.

[hitking]

Funny thing is we don't dislike GGG his fans aRe just delusional

Well, you know me personally. So you have knowledge of how I really feel about these type things.

I've been a fan of boxing since I was a kid and boxed myself for a bit while in the Army. I've been a fan of "boxingscene" for 6-7 years and I rarely post, but after reading some of the comments I just felt compelled to put my 2 cents in.

I've come to the conclusion that some people are just filled with pure hate and racism (from all cultures). My parents are Mexican and I had the opportunity to be born in the good ole' US of A. I love my culture but that doesn't mean it should translate to all aspects of my life, especially my passion for boxing. People... please leave that b.s. racist **** behind you. It is ok to be a fan of a boxer that doesn't share your culture; we are all of the same race, the human race!

I swear there is so many keyboard warriors out there, by all means if you feel you can do a better job, please go out there and get in the ring and see how well you do. I do not understand how some fans have the nerve to call a boxer a bum or say they have no heart? If you are one of these people then you are not a true fan of boxing. Unless you have fought world class fighters for 12 rounds (45 minutes), hell if you have fought anyone in the ring for 45 minutes you have no room to talk. If you have done this then you should know better; the amount of preparation and training to be even ok is extremely hard, I cant imagine the sacrifice these guys go through to fight on the world stage. If you are not a fan of a particular boxer that is ok, but you shouldn't judge his/her character or heart because of what you saw sitting on your ass drinking a beer as if you can do better.

What is not to like about GGG? He is exciting, he wants to clean out his division and become a true champion, he is very humble, he is appreciative of his fans, he is classy in victory, he is clean cut, he stays out of trouble, and above all else he is a good boy. How often do you have an athlete like this? This is someone that stays above all the b.s. and stays grounded, but that doesn't seem to be enough. I guess you just can't make some people happy. Maybe he hasn't beat everyone, but he is doing pretty good if you ask me. No need to hate or act as if you know he would lose against another fighter. If you watch boxing you know that until the two get in the ring no one knows what truly might happen. That is the beauty of boxing! All the big fights will come eventually and we will see if he truly is the best, but until then just sit back and enjoy the show.

thank you!,i hear you,unfortunately it may mostly fall on deaf ears...but ...again ...thank you!

Luckily for boxing, there would be very few fans and little money to be made if they were all like you. Boxing is still entertainment for most folks, not an art for those "purists". LOL at "KOing people is boring", but 12 round decisions with clinching and running are not.

cotto is already a middleweight champ and alvarez has already outgrown jr middle and will probably beat cotto. golovkin doesn't particularly need to move up, he's clearly very comfortable at the weight. it does go both ways and that's the point i was making, although i would actually say that ward is probably more in need of moving up than golovkin is. ward is potentially an atg talent and he should be more intent on proving it. he has a good resume but it's far from complete. let's see him conquer a burgeoning light heavyweight division when he's done with the goosen crap. kovalev offers him a much tougher challenge than golovkin does, in my opinion.

We'll never agree agree on Cotto and Nelo being middleweights. Because IMO they're not. Especially in this era when the weight divisions are a joke anyway.

As for needing to move up most. I totally disagree. Ward and GGG fought in the same Olympics. They've been pros basically the same amount of time. Ward is several years younger than GGG. And Ward's resume is 100x better. Ward has nothing to prove. There's still no confirmation that GGG is legit.

Outclassing a top fighter clinching, running, blah, blah, blah is more exciting to me than KOing a guy I had to look up on boxrec, yes.

I thought GGG was like 25? Who has he beaten? Let's ask teddy atlas... Love this guy....

Actually, I'm not. I'm a guy that appreciates the best, no matter how they accomplish it. And in my time as a fight fan. The best, have usually been the "boring" guys. That's my only beef with a lotta so called fight fans. Most have no issues with GGG being willing to fight anyone within an earshot of middleweight but Ward. Many of you would be very happy if Rigo wad nevet on TV again. And those are probably the best two fighters in yhe world. I don't see how you can be a fan of a sport and not wanna see the best.

rigo's last opponent was a cab driver
