The Gennady Golovkin Myth

[ShoulderRoll]

Ont thing I've noticed is a lot of people who have vested interest in certain fighters/are fans of a certain fighter who clearly want nothing to do with GGG tend to come down on GGG pretty hard to divert attention from their guy wanting nothing to do with him

On this site such misdirection usually comes from fans of mayweather, cotto and froch all of whom want nothing to do with GGG. I'll give mayweather a by for not wanting to fight him ... he ain't in GGG's division and isn't claiming to be a titlist in it ... so fair enough. Froch gets a partial by for similar reasons but he is the bigger man so really shouldn't be afraid of the challenge. Cotto is just flat up petrified lol.

basically in any of these 'why isn't GGG fighting so and so' threads you can almost always spot a vested interest in/big fan of one of the three fighters mentioned here.

So you don't want to see him fight Erislandy Lara and would prefer another Willie Monroe Jr?

I want to see Froch-GGG but as long as his team are happy to keep feeding him these bums, then what motivation does Froch have to fight him? Or Cotto or Canelo for that matter.

I'm hard on GGG because he is getting a ridiculous amount of hype based off not very much substance. And his team continue to try to con the public and look for hand outs.

if froch, cotto, and canelo thought they could beat him they would have taken this fight in a heart beat. he is a big draw, a name on the p4p list, a champion, and he would give you a massive percentage of the cut in the payment, theres not much more you could really ask for. you beat him, your stock rises. They obviously think they can't, worried that there stock will drop if they lose, so they dont want it.

Wow....whoever made this thread is a genius.

- Ward at 164

- 50 year old Hopkins...."maybe in the future".

- Lara.....Haymon doe. I guess they can use the same excuse for DeGale now too.

GGG wants no part of Chunky.

Canelo's team said they would have to wait 2 years....

Cotto has stated that he'll fight him after the canelo fight

I wanted to take this thread serious Dirk but then you mentioned Bernard Hopkins and Andre Ward.

You can take it serious now

GGG proved Dirk correct. If there was never a reason to hate GGG, now we have one.

Golovkin is a prizefighter. He won't fight Lara because a) the Cuban is a JMW, b) Lara isn't a draw like the names you've mentioned in your previous post and c) he fights on Showtime.

Munson is the best available opponent, you yourself admitted it few days ago when the fight was announced.

He's not great, and no person with brain thinks he poses any threat to Golovkin.

As for the thread, Ward isn't ducking Golovkin, just like Golovkin isn't ducking Ward. They will meet in the future, I'm of sure of that, once the fight will reach a PPV status.

That said, Golovkin has been ducked the likes of Cotto, Quillin and Chavez Jr.

GGG and his team has called out Floyd, Cotto, Canelo or Chavez Jr because fighting them means getting the biggest payday of his career.

so the supposed "killer" who has difficulties getting guys to fight...
is using high risk/low reward scenarios?

Great thread.
