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

[-PBP-]

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?

Yes. But I would prefer he not waste his prime years waiting on guys that will never fight him. I say beat Lee and Lemieux then if Cotto and Canelo still aren't ready move up.

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???

Not trying to offend you or anything man but resumes are like triangle theories, it doesn't work like that in boxing, so resumes don't mean ****..styles make fights man...and May Pac fight proved it...

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.....

No it is audacious to make excuses for one guy not to challenge himself while asking another guy to challenge them self.


As for the rest that is fine and all but people usually have opinions for a reason and if they aren't being exactly honest in their criticism conflating different issues what does that opinion mean exactly?

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

At the rate he's going, I can see that happening easily. That's 16 fights away. Should be some great challenges along the way, but knowing him, in four years he could be there.

He could easily do that if he cherrypicked his opponents, avoiding a certain fighters here and there like some boxers do. If he fights the best available consistently, he will lose, that's a given in boxing imo.

Lemieux vs GGG is big drama show... somebody will have to be a good boy

I see many people like you who suckered into judging fighters by amateur records without a question. It's not offense because I can see the logic in it but tell me wouldn't it be more logical if I would believe my own eyes instead and I would make my judgement based on my watching experiences? Based on them Golovkin looks pretty bad if he's countered or forced to move backward/stop. It happened very rarely though because so far nobody could do it long enough. Because he is good and his opponents aren't exactly world beaters either.
And I don't know about sport when the high level would mean automatically that a sportsman/team can do all the styles in the particular sport. I'm pretty sure that George Foreman couldn't do slick defensive moves very well for example or Pernell Whitaker wouldn't be the best in a brawl.

Yes, but he's a lot slicker than people give him credit for.

ggg stop fighting bums and step up stop calling out smaller fighter and step up no way in hell you can do what Floyd does your just a brawler who fights tomato cans and this Saturday your fighting a bum

Says the cotto Fan that fought Delvin rodriguez and now fighting a previously dismantle opponent by GGG.

[Bigg Rigg]

Floyd fans get salty real quick! They wish their buy was a killer hitter like a Strong Safety instead of a puny Chess player.

[ShoulderRoll]

If Floyd was fighting weak ass opposition like Golovkin he would have a knockout streak going too.
