    Its not exciting watching GGG KO a lesser opponent not on his level. I think once he is evenly matched he will be much more exciting because he will be able to display his vast skill set and still likely get a KO.

      One sided mismatches aren't exciting in any sport. But that's not GGG's fault. If he gets in there with a Froch or a Kessler or a Canelo I think it would be a much better watch.

        What kind of question is that? Was Tyson not exciting to you? Watching a GGG fight or any KO puncher with skills is exciting because of the anticipation of witnessing an awesome KO.

        12 round decision are too long and get boring.

          Not entirely his fault I'd suggest.
          That is a very fair point you just made. I agree with everything you just said. It is his opposition. In most divisions there are only 2 to 3 guys that are what we call "elite." I have yet to see GGG fight that guy who can really challenge him physically. That's what I am waiting for.

            GGG doesn't bring that same explosiveness that Tyson brought to the ring. And for the record I was never a big Tyson fan either.

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.
              I cannot see Cotto having the power to hurt Golovkin, who has a solid chin. Cotto gets blasted out like the rest of them, if this fight happens.

                Because it's always Mayweather fans (such as yourself) posting or making threads criticizing Golovkin or clogging up threads about him taking shots at him.

                Now of all things they want to say Golovkin isn't exciting, ffs lol.

                Anyhow, Cotto fight probably ends inside a round. He's better off fighting Canelo and looking for a Mayweather rematch.

                  He's an exciting fighter and can punch very hard but I personally don't find him entertaining.

                      What do you find entertaining, then?

                      You find him exciting, but not entertaining, LOL.
