Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I Can Box Like Mayweather, But That's Boring

[wlliam]

Humans are emotional animals. Alot of people take it personal and get emotional when it comes to Floyd Mayweather (such as yourself), both his supporters and detractors. The emotion people hold in regards to Floyd is rather extreme and uncalled for IMO, the man is just a man and his life has no real impact on mine, but whatever. The casual fans don't hold the same emotional attachment (positive or negative) with the more "exciting, thrilling fighters" so they aren't shelling out $$ for PPV.

why is that? that's another conversation on why boxing's popularity has waned in recent years. which leads me to another tangent...too many PPVs in boxing. PPV should be reserved for the biggest fights of a given year. Not merely a big name vs his next opponent.

Ecactly! The PPV scene as a whole is extremely over-saturated. I blame PPV for the lack of competitive match ups, by competitive i mean top guy vs top guy. Basically networks feed us mismatches and expect us to pay for a competitive match ups.

"I can box like Mayweather" Thanks for the laugh Gennady.

"it' boring" That's a popular opinion but still just an opinion...

Ha ha ha...Boring FRAUD, not an opinion, but a FACT!!!

You probably think that Soft ****, is the Real Thing....Huh.DUMBO!!!

Floyd isn't a real 154 fighter. Even his biggest fans will tell you that's not his weight class. He only goes there for big money fights which GGG is not. All I see is excuses for not wanting to see GGG challenged.

Ok...in all.seriousness...please.tell.who YOU think would pose a legitimate challenge to GGG?

Which is oddly enough what they accuse Floyd and his fans of. Like literally in the same breath, I have to give them credit for their audacity though.

GGG goes thru FRAUD, like a dose of Salts!!!

He's cleaned out all of the threats at 160 that are willing to fight him. I had GGG #1, Murray #2, Geale #3. He has a money fight with Canelo but Oscar isn't ready for that until 2017.

The legitimate challenges are at 168. You can start with lower contenders like Abraham and Stieglitz to get used to the weight. Then you have Durrell brothers, Degale, Groves, etc. until the Ward fight becomes a lucrative ppv.

Honestly looking at your sig, it doesn't seem like you have a good grasp on what Floyd does. So while you might be correct, as my old grandmother used to say even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Floyd Mayweather Jr would tame GGG. GGG would be a hypejob after Floyd picks him apart. Quick question, who has the better reseme...GGG or Chris Algieri???

Who's "they"?.....and to clarify a lot of fans (boxing and groupies alike) have opinions...some very misconstrued, but still, everyone's entitled to one...just because someone doesn't agree with you does not make them a person with "the audacity"...most people, I believe, who say Floyd doesn't "challenge" himself are really trying to say they think he's boring....to me he has nothing left to prove, he fought pac...the fight ****** but he won..ok, good..now they can both retire and live happily ever after with their 100MM...the only reason GGG mentions him, I imagine, is for 2 reasons: 1. Floyd's is considered the best lb 4 lb and 2. The MONEY.....

Hey man..I'm with you there...those would be excellent bouts at 168...Golovkin keeps saying he wants to unify at 160 first though, should he not have the opportunity to do so?

Sure you can GGG, i am sure you can go 48-0 too, sure
