You know, golovkin is getting pretty close to breaking Wilfredo Gomez's record

[Foreign Soil]

Of course he'd still get hate. ***** and the secret agents wouldn't be world class fighters. That doesn't matter to Geducky Bumlovkin fans though.

They aren't? I'm sure the secret service could rather easily duplicate a Maidana 1 type beating on Mayweather, or worse if they wanted..

gomez, IIRC, was the lineal champion [the soul, recognized champion.]

i know that the WBA / WBC had fractured the world championship belt by the 70's, but i'm pretty sure that gomez established legitimate lineage and was ring mag champion when he beat the korean bloke for the 122 lb title.


golovkin is an alphabet soup champion. he's the best fighter at 160 according to anybody with a working set of eyeballs, but he's not the legit champ.

the legit champ is miguel cotto. he beat martinez. martinez beat pavlik. pavlik beat taylor. taylor beat hopkins. you can't get a more lineal champion than bernard hopkins at MW. dude was the definition of lineage, which he established when he boxed off for a vacant lineage against tito trinidad in '01.

They are counting all his defences as Regular Champion which was/is a paper title. Felix Sturm was the WBA champion until 2012.

I'm not even that big of a Golovkin fan but it's always the same people in every thread trying to discredit him. It's very transparent who they are and what their agenda is. Instead of enjoying him and his consistently entertaining fights they're unduly angry at the guy who sets out to fight the best available 7,000 miles from home 4 times a year.

I can understand disliking someone arrogant, boring, boastful, unentertaining and risk-averse, but they will rabidly and angrily take shots at someone who the opposite of all this.

It could have something to do with the fact that he is a citizen of a ******-MAJORITY country.

yeah....we just wanna see good fights bro...no offence but some of us don't give a f'ck about the business...we're in love with the mutha****ing SPORT....now come down off that high horse and join our crusade

Is this supposed to be ironic on purpose?

You appear to be a Garcia fan.

[T18Z]

Nothing about GGG is exciting. He does not have an aesthetically pleasing style to me. Why is it that we must share you opinion? You are an *******

Ishida & Rosado???

Fighters deciding to move up? Your point?

You trying to say Rosado and Ishida aren't miles better than Rod Salka in any ranking system? You're a moron, for sure. I've heard it all now

[PK3434]

Hah! Golovkin's hardcore fans are quickly becoming the biggest joke in this site. Lol. I wonder what happens if he fights another Monroe type guy next. Should be interesting.

I am a Golovkin fan (I don't understand how anyone that likes boxing wouldn't be) and I would be disappointed if he fought someone in that Monroe, Heiland, Johnson group. However, what if nobody else wants to fight him? Then should he just sit out and wait until next year? Even if he moves up, who at 168 really wants a piece of him this fall?

never said that or implied that. Learn how to read.

Then what is your point? They are fighters moving up that have been previously ranked within the top 20's and faced some good opposition. Rosado held a #1 IBF JMW ranking and could've fought for a title but instead decided to go up and fight Golovkin.

Who had Rod Salka fought before Garcia? What was his rankings in other divisions?

Shut the hell up, fool.
