Golovkin - Not so great.

GGG lost to Despaigne in the amateurs too but no shame there Despaigne was a very good amateur. Does surprise me he lost to Gutnecht just before he turned pro though.

You can't buy into amateur losses especially at the top level when they're fighting so often and encountering all sorts of styles. The judging can be as bad if not worse than the pros too. I've seen some shocking decisions in the amateurs

The good competition is ducking him. And he wants to fight Ward when it becomes a bigger fight meaning that it is on him to rack up wins to set up the ultimate showdown.

Does he really want to fight ward? Does Quillin really want to fight GGG?

We've reached a new height in the Entertainment Industry where the best duck the best. Sad but true.

Gennady is the best MW. No point in arguing; bring up Ward...who doesn't fight

Stuck in court still! Eventually he'll be out making big boy decisions. If the fighter ever happens I'm still taking Ward over GGG.

If anyone has a chance it's him. Ward should've moved up a long time ago though.

He has a chance to move up (as he said before) and get 3 belts, possibly rule 175. He's fought at 175 before.

Right. Funny thing is Golovkin also had close encounters in the Ams barely getting by Yordanis Despaigne. Same Despaigne which lost to Ismayl Sillakh and was decapitated by Kovalev in the pros.

Also, Gaydarbek Gaydarbekov was defeated by 2x Cubans in the Ams.

Styles make fights no?

Oh, a Cuban nuthugger eh? Too bad hardly any of them make decent pros.

GGGs style is way more suited for the pro ranks. In fact its almost unbelieveble how well GGG did as an amateur considering his style.

Man, this is the second nutty post I've seen from you. So when the big name fighters avoid the lesser known Golovkin it's a duck but when Golovkin doesn't want to fight Ward because it's not a big fight...what do you call that? Really think about what you're saying here and go do some soul searching because hypocrisy like this is disturbing.
