Bob Arum calls Golovkin opposition "Stumblebum after Stumblebum" Lol..

[-Kev-]

So my question is.... Who is not a bum that currently fights at the middle weight limit?

It's a crap division all around. The other good fighter there is a tiny 153 pound 5'7" guy only looking for big money fights to close out his career. There are no standout fighters there, no future HOF'ers, no killers, just weak punching fighters and limited punchers who have already lost to other average fighters.

For sure Ward has a better resume, however GGG offered to go up a division and face Wards best scalp Froch on his home turf. Crickets. Doubt Ward would go up a division to face a guy like Froch abroad.

Wards 2nd best win had a resume no better, possibly worse, than Ggg, when he faced Ward.

Stop apologizing for Bum-love-kin's sorry ass resume...

Arum salty that hbo spending chunk of their budget and dates on ggg

TR had their eye on GGG for a long time, however it really wasnt obvious he was marketable at all. TR prefers guys with built in following, eg Mexican or Puerto Rican. Not sure they would have done much better with GGG

I didn't know that they had their eye on him and agree with what your saying that they tend to want fighters with built in fan bases I just think TR track record speaks for itself and would have done a better job if they had GGG.

They undervalued Mayweather but he was still did PPV and fought legit names under BObs banner.

Hahah I'm a big fan of GGG, and his competition does leave a bit to be desired, but that's ont his fault - nobody at his weight wants a piece.

THat was funny as shyte, though - "Stumblebum." Hahah.

[Derranged]

Getting outboxed by a guy who is considered a p4p KO artist isn't good for business. Just ask Nonito Donaire.

Either my brain is fried or you've got that mixed up.

Arum wouldn't say that if he was promoting Golovkin, he has no reason to cover for Golovkin and would benefit from him not being on HBO anymore.

[Slick_Rick]

Dont get the Golovkin hate.

He wants the to unify the division, its not his fault other champions are avoiding him.

[PeasantCrusha]

I don't hate GGG, I just don't see the glory in him "unifying" against a 153.6lb 35 year old named Miguel.."



Other than that, he is an exciting fighter in a weak division.

[Cinci Champ]

LOL. Golovkin slowly taking Floyd's spot as most hated fighter. Good for him.

not really i think people are just tired of being told ggg is the best thing for boxing since boxing rings and the fans are starting to say screw that fight someone or shutup no one wants to hear about financially correct
