Could Golovkin end up being the next Jeff Lacy?

[kafkod]

This gave me a good laugh. Do you realize GGG is a natural, career middleweight 160 lb fighter? You're talking about not being impressed unless he moves up two weight divisions??? Are you serious? Do you really believe in your own bulls.hit or just admit you're extremely biased like 90% of the GGG haters on NSB.

Possibly the dumbest post I've seen since joining. And that's coming from a guy who has read a lot of Spoon23's May/Pac posts.

I was going to reply to that post but then I read it again before hitting submit and I decided that it MUST be written as a sarcastic comedy exercise so I deleted my reply. I mean no one could really write such a ridiculous post and seriously mean it, could they? I know there are some real fools around here but could anyone REALLY be such an ignorant idiot? SERIOUSLY???

He was being sarcastic.

The fact that it isn't obvious says a lot about the kind of moronic shite we are accustomed to reading in GGG related threads.

You mean besides steamrolling durable fighters like Ishida, Proksa, Macklin, Stevens, Geale (currently ranked #10), and Murray (currently ranked #6)? Besides doing great numbers on HBO and putting asses in seats in the USA despite being a foreign fighter from Borat-land?

He's having to slowly grind his way up the food chain (#5 Lemeiux is next) because none of the elite-level guys have the balls to fight him.

Come on now. A bunch of stumblebums. What gives him the right to say I won't fight this guy unless its PPV or "the economics don't work" to face that guy.

Don't remember Lacy making such statements about Calzaghe, he dared to be great early and got bashed up but at least he tried.

why on earth would someone think this?

[lefthook2daliva]

not likely

People seem to forget Lacy looked like crap in a couple fights before Calzaghe. The Robin Reid fight comes to mind.

Golovkin has dared to be great a long time ago, unfortunately Felix Sturm led him on a wild goose chase for three years, Sergio Martinez wouldn't fight him, Dmitry Pirog pulled out of their fight with an injury and your boy Carl Froch has been turning him down for three years. Not much cajones these days.

this gangster and his threads again. more like your boy Broner going to be next Ali

He could have fought Andre Ward without his promoters making every excuse in the book for it not to happen a couple of years ago. That's daring to be great. Not Felix Sturm

No. He is one hundred thousand times better than Lacy and he is a wonderful boxer with a great amateur record to go with his power. Lacy didn't scare anybody but GGG does. The reason he has not yet fought a real good champion is because they refuse to fight him. He tried like hell to fight Martinez but Martinez said no way with the usual bs about GGG not earning the fight. Never mind that GGG was number 1 on all ratings then as he is today. Cotto is clearly afraid of him and Froch won't fight him even with an 8 pound advantage. Kid Chocolate ducked him. Lemiux {sorry if I misspelled his name] is stalling when he could fight him next. Jacobs won't even say his name. Lacy never KOed 20 guys in a row with many of them being top 10 contenders. GGG can't beat champions who refuse to fight him. Get these champions in the ring with him and he will knock them out. What 160 pounder can beat GGG?

Like Kovalev was supposed to be the next Pavlik.
