Is Triple G really exciting?

Cool so GGG is Martinez minus good wins?

A great point well made.

A P4P fighter and lineal champion in his prime, sure, why not.

GGG is not the typical fighter I am a fan off but I'm an open minded guy. 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.

You, open minded guy??? :hahaha::hahaha::hahaha:

I enjoy watching him fight just as much as I enjoy Floyd, Hopkins or a Ward fight.

Excitement is in the eye of the beholder. I can get just as excited in dominant one sided performance as I can for a first round KO. What I saw Saturday night was not exciting. I don't really blame Golovkin, he did what he had to do. What's disingenuous is for Jim Lampley and HBO to pretend that what I saw in the Golovkin fight was either exciting or in anyway competitive. Especially, when I just saw a young prospect take on a savvy veteran, got hurt, and and then came back to virtually destroy his opponent. So to answer the question, Golovkin is only as exciting as the level of competition dictates. Right now, I'll wait and to see how exciting he'll be...

I'm getting heated? I'm finding this hilarious, whilst baffling.

You're acting as if I must like Golvokin and are seemingly offended that I don't .It's nuts.

Yes he is exciting. But his style and how he fights isn't appeasing to my eyes I am sorry that this offends you.

I absolutely understand what you are saying here, Dan.

It's kind of like a sustained pressure and fairly methodical. It's not like the sizzle of a prime Tommy Hearns or Julian Jackson or any number of explosive fighters.

I have to admit, for the last few years I've been watching Floyd fight with the hopes of seeing him lose.

Now it seems Floyd/Ward/Lara fans will have this feeling. Enjoy courtesy of GGG



P.S. Waiting patiently for Loma to unify as well

What I meant was his fights aren't all that exciting. GGG has an exciting style but to this point his opponents haven't shown much resistance. And it takes two to tango.

He needs better competition. A Cotto or Canelo fight would be huge. Of course I think Cotto will fight Canelo next as that fight is HUGE. GGG vs Cotto or Canelo will be huge too I believe. Cotto has never ducked anyone and has the balls to fight GGG as does Canelo. I will have to be at those fights.
