Is Triple G really exciting?

[Dirk Diggler UK]

He doesnt fight club fighters. He has 5 wins over Ring top 10 contenders. This is the caliber of fighter Sergio was struggling to look good against when he was consenses top 5 p4p

Sergio was consensus top 5 P4P because he had impressive wins over world class fighters. Golovkin does not. His resume is **** average.

His style isn't for everyone.
Most will probably say Brandon Rios is one of the most exciting in the sport, his style isn't for me, it bores me rigid watching the guy.
I love the sweet science but I rarely watch Miguel Vasquez fight.
I love Rigondeaux and don't mind a bit of Lara but then there are a lot of southpaws with reasonably similar styles I detest. I think Trout has a hideous style and wouldn't watch him fight if you paid me same with Frankie Gavin.

His style is not for everybody.
A lot of boxing fans are the same or don't like seek and destroy fighters just like most GGG fans won't really appreciate the style of a fleet-footed pure boxer like say Erislandy Lara.

Huh, did you really compare GGG to Rios?

GGG KO rate makes uneducated boxing fans think of him as lacking technique. He does seek out fighters but he has so many things he does that is beautiful to watch. Even his last fight Shows how he adjusted his punch to go over the glove of his opponent.

Sweet science does not mean countering all the time. It can be from a stalking position also.

This is Boxing, people get hurt and pay to see knockouts and Gennady is a master of dishing pain. If that is "not your cup of tea" then take up salsa dancing or something.

Sergio was P4P due to his wins over Pavlik and Williams, his resume (aside from Chavez) after that is "**** average" along with GGG.

Gennady will eventually get his Pavlik/Williams moment.

Golovkin is verry good at box, hopefully he fights good boy canelo and/or cotto.

when golovkin id box I am very excite

[T18Z]

I don't get excited for his fights because his opponents are just so weak.

I can appreciate what he does in terms of skill and punching power but it just falls flat when you see that he's displaying it against a club fighter who is there to survive.

I love it how you make out like ring top 10 are club fighters, it's pretty funny. Geale and Macklin aren't 'club' fighters, specifically look what Macklin did to Martinez in his prime days.

It's not just who he fights, it's how dominant his performances are. He hasn't struggled legitimately with anyone, never looked shook or hurt, not been knocked down, hell he hasn't lost any rounds since his fight with Ouma pretty much, and this is the fight where we know he wasn't optimal. He also holds I believe the 2nd highest hit/not get hit stats behind Mayweather.

It's fine if you don't care for his style and aren't entertained by it, but don't downplay the opponents which obviously aren't the tomato cans of the resume, it just makes you look extremely bias.

No I never.
I just used him as an example of a fighter often labelled as exciting that I personally find boring. Same with Provodnikov
If you put them together it would probably be exciting but their styles in general are not really for me.

Another racist POS thread.
