FACT: If Golovkin was from USA he would be hailed as the second coming of Mike Tyson!

[Godsfly]

Holmes told a story about that, he'd been out for 2 years and took the fight on short notice.



Tyson's take:

dude..............give it up. larry was old but still a very good fighter in his own right at the time. larry had never been ko'd like that ever in the ring. even when he was dead old and very fat and refused to retire. get over it...........comparing golovkins trash resume to tysons is just ret@rded. and tyson was younger.......


u guys have lost all sense of realty over this golovin hero

It doesn't matter where he is from. He still needs some true challenges.

They were stopped on their feet before they were knocked unconscious.

Tell me what you think happens to Geale, Monroe, Rosado and Ouma if they were allowed to continue?

The only reason they ended on their feet is because they either called time themselves (Monroe/Geale) or the referee was merciful.

Ouma gets to the final bell, and, if not for his terrible skin, Rosado makes the final bell too (watched the Golovkin-Rosado fight again, to make sure that I saw what I saw, and Rosado may have been able to drown Golovkin late, tbh).

Would help to watch the actual fights before making such outlandish claims; Golovkin's only massive shot landed on Rosado was in the sixth, and even then, within about a minute, Rosado was passed that shot and in the fight.

[Scipio2009]

Golovkin, Lomachenko, Kovalev, both Klitschko's, Povetkin, and many other East Euros are all possibly better than anything that's ever come before.

There are only 2 important reasons why they are not hailed as the best of the best of the best...

a) They ain't American...

b) They ain't black!!

And everybody knows it!

The Slavs have the hardest fists and the hardest chins in boxing these days.. And probably forever now, so we might as well just ****ing get used to it!

Lomachenko has had all of four professional fights, and the general boxing public was more than happy to root for Vitali Klitschko, since he actually came to fight, even if he did it behind an awkward Euro style.

Prior to fighting Hopkins, Kovalev hadn't honestly fought anyone even sideways decent.

crying over ****** ****

[786]

Not much comp at middleweight which isn't his fault but he only calls out name fighters in the lower divisions. Has been called out by 'decent' names, no one special but on a higher level than he's been fighting and this gets ignored/dismissed by his camp. The same camp that was hailing GGG as greater than Hagler after the Macklin win.

The GGG hype has become so annoying and unrealistic, Rosado, Murray and Ouma kind of proved to me that if GGG steps up to super-middle he's Arthur Abrahams all over again. His power won't trouble the bigger guys as much and the quality in that division is much greater. He wouldn't get far and knows this.

If I was GGG, I'd probably STFU about fighting welterweights and just try to dominate the ****ty MW division and potentially equal or beat Hopkins' title defence record.

[Scipio2009]

Scipio is trying to say he's not a knockout artist but if a boxer with a 90% KO ratio isn't a KO artist, I'd like to know who is.

deontay wilder.

Hasn't fought the best competition over the course of his career, but he's actually flattened near everyone he's ever stepped into the ring with, outside of Stiverne (12 rounds) and Gavern (quit after 4).

now THAT'S a knockout artist

[Scipio2009]

Then why are there so many TKOs on his record and not more KOs?

Maybe you should watch some of those fights before asking the question.

Tyson beats the crap out of an opponent, dropping them multiple times and, typically on that final knockdown, the ref doesn't even bother with the count; hence the TKO.

expected you to be sharper than that.

[Scipio2009]

I love tyson but the guys he was killing were inferior in quality to the guys ggg is smashing. You rarely see top ten guys get completely smoked like how PAC ended up against Marquez. Most of them are too good to be hit by something that clean which is why you see fighters stopped on their feet at higher levels. McClellan looked fine other than some rapid blinking versus benn, are you going to tell me benn didn't **** him up?

haven't seen McClellan-Benn, so I wouldn't know.

Golovkin's last 16 fight, if not more, are on Youtube/Dailymotion for anyone to watch, and the story that folks are trying to sell the boxing public doesn't match the actual footage of what went down.

Tyson won his first title in '86 by flattening Berbick, and went on to flatten another 7 quality guys, before getting put out by Buster Douglas

[Scipio2009]

Brad Abdul Goodman, look him up. Pavlik was lineal and with Top Rank, so wrong again.

Not sure what you're talking about, there were lots of no TR shows. Neither GGG nor Kovalev TR, they wouldn't have gotten a chance with Greenburg

Prior to getting his chance on HBO, he had 0 top 10 scalps. 6 is much better than 0, and really a good output in 3 years in any division.

I'd love to hear about these tons of non-Top Rank broadcasts on HBO, lol.

and those six top 10 scalps don't count all that much if 4 of those scalps were off of whomever got bumped into the #10 spot when the prior guy got beat.

again, the picture being painted doesn't follow the actual facts all that well.
