I can obviously see the potential that everybody else can see but I don't think beating up over matched opponents is all that exciting. Personally I thought the Donaire vs Walters fight was much more exciting than the main event.

    However I think the Cotto fight will be exciting if Cotto can take GGGs punch. Cotto is the kind of fighter that can pose some problems for GGG with his subtle movement, heavy jab, and experience. Plus GGG can be hit. To me Cotto and GGG are by far the two best MWs and everybody else is a distant 3rd. I can't see Quillin or Canelo competing with either fighter right now.
    Quillen is a good fighter and would beat Cotto.

    He's a nice guy, a fan friendly guy who when I was on Twitter use to get replies, but also, he has skills and is a goo fighter. I don't feel his personality is a killer, and he does listen to his team, but trust me he gives anyone a tough fight.

    GGG is exciting in some ways. People like KO's. Tyson was exciting to me even if he faced easy guys. Vs top guys like Holyfield he struggled, but he was exciting.

    GGG can be hit because he is quite aggressive, but he does also faint, block, move and have a guard too. He's not overly reckless.

    I wish he spoke English better because it takes some edge off him, but I look forward to more.

    PS. Ward beats the breaks off him, I predicted Ward to win the Super 6 after the Kessler fight. Quality fighter but what takes away from him is his lack of fights for whatever reason. This is also one reason GGG is always int he headlines these days.

    If other fighters fought as much, boxing would be back. Imagine if top fighters did 3 or 4 fights a year, it would add up over so many fighters, and people will get talking.

        Golovkin is boring. I almost fell asleep when he traded punchs with Rubio.

          Hopefully, Cotto and Canelo won't fight him. This guy is a fraud and needs a wake up call. He needs to fight good fighters his own size. I don't like predictable fights. As I said in another thread before the fight, Rubio is a pedestrian with nothing to offer. Fight Ward or at least a Euro level guys like Froch. Nothing exciting about this guy.

            Yes. He's exciting. His opposition isn't all his fault. He's blasting out everyone. He comes to destroy. If that's not exciting, what is?

              Why do Mayweather fans dislike Golovkin?
              Are Cotto and Mayweather his size? He calls them out. Ward wants to fight him. Why don't you require him to challenge himself if he is that good? Let him fight challenges.

                Either because the guy is white, gets a lot of respect and fans despite being quite green or because he is an offensive boxeer.

                  Or, because people don't share your opinion of him. Why does everyone have to like him? I don't find him anything special.

                    well he's proposed to go down to 154 to fight floyd, you know, 154 where floyd is the champion?

                    and cotto is the champion at 160, so golovkin is well within his rights pursuing that fight

                    quit being a ******
