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

[Chrismart]

Man, Golovkin ruffles some feathers on this site.

[PivotandRoll]

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.

Anyhow, taking back to topic, Golovkin hasn't been a full champion for long so impressive though the statistics are, I think the comparison is probably a little bit bogus.

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 *******

Wilder tied Gomez record with 32 straight kos

[bigjavi973]

checked out both their resumes, and nope i didn't laugh

in fact if you looked at wilfredos, you would see fighters that are 7-11, 6-9, 19-11, 22-8, 32-12, and a lot of others like that while he was defending the title.

Garcia fought somebody ranked like 80th, Rod Salka doe Santa Cruz is the same.

Golovkin has been fighting nothing but top 10 or top 20 fighters consistently since his HBO debut.

Grow up.

Ishida & Rosado???

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

My post was in reference to those criticizing the opponents of Golovkin thus far. He's viewed as too high of a risk with not a high enough reward. This is much more than sport, this is a job for these guys so if they have the ability to take fights where the outcome is their favor then that's what they're going to do. They want to secure the rate of the earnings and some of these guys might not believe that the outcome vs. GGG is in their favor enough to take the risk and subsequently resulting in them taking long-term damage physically and/or mentally. Boxers are pride fighters, but absolutely prize fighters. And FWIW I appreciate Golovkin's career so far. His opponents have been decent and he has done very well against them and has stayed respectively active. Can't ask for more

Yeah. It's not going to change no matter who GGG knocks out. Dude could knock out ***** along with an entire row of secret service agents and he'd still get hate. The people who call for GGG to move up in weight would just as quickly downgrade the SMW division as soon as he arrived there. There's no point in trying to appease the few people who aren't on board. Let them enjoy their coveted PBC.

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.

Wilfredo beat 80% of Mexico, they sent an entire village of peasants and Gomez sent them all back via ambulance. He only lost after fighting the bigger Sanchez. A fight in which his wife is on record saying Gomez only trained 2 weeks and was out on cruise ships and discos the rest of the time.


Gomez > GGG.

If he had any dignity left, he would ban himself.
