Excuses people will have if GGG wins?

[Box-Office]

Lemeiux lost to Rubio. Thats like the 160lb version of losing to Soto-Karass than getting a Mayweather fight. Actually, wait a second... lol

Soto Karass never actually worked his way to a title shot.

Rubio has done it three times. The version Lemeiux fought was prior to Chavez Jr title shot.

Prospects take early losses. Many great fighters have. Wlad lost to Ross Purritty who is a lot worse, but you can't **** on him based on that early loss.

I can't wait for Golovkin to defy all the odds again and prove da haterz wrong!

Again, which fighter will GGG not be a favorite against at MW?

[just the facts]

The excuses are out already.

Gennady beats floyd at 154 (weight where he fought Cotto)... "floyd is a WW doe. tbe doe"

Gennady beats Ward: "ward is truly a lightweight doe" XDD

These clowns are blatant racists against White dominance in the sport, PERIOD. It burns them up inside but they have to deal with it.

Gennady is the face of boxing, ESPN named him the greatest and most feared fighter of all time so it doesn't matter what 3-4 forum trolls think about him.

too bad ggg's handlers don't have that kind of confidence in him. When they had the opportunity to make a real statement in the boxing world, they imposed a catchweight Ward can't make and killed a career defining fight. Why? They don't believe he can beat Ward. Now they got the ggg ball gaggers (like you) believing that a ggg/Lemiux is a quality fight. The same Lemiuex that got trashed by Rubio!

The face of boxing has exactly ZERO quality wins? Boxings in trouble then.

You missed my irony/joke. But either way, losing to Rubio aka Patches is not to be overlooked...

He would be the favourite against all of them because the division is ****.

I think out of desperation, people will target the fact Lemeiux was an in experienced champion.

Edit: No credit for taking on a raw punching World champion in a unification, yet they want him to fight Lara, a LMW who has 0 bouts at MW. When was the last time Mayweather not a favorite to win a fight? Does he not get full credit for his resume?


Note: Many of these will be Froch fans.

Damn, NSB is full of idiots.

I don't think Lemeiux will last very long, at all. Hasn't got a great chin or defense, Lara gives Golovkin more trouble stylistically and it wouldn't be a great fight to watch, but we'd get to see more facets of GGGs game.

That said, it should be a barnburner while it lasts and it is a step up in competition. WAR GGG!

Say it ain't so Joe............

[bojangles1987]

He's a big favorite due to how good he is, what you want him to do, become less skilled to even the playing field?

Where did I suggest anything like that?

This is a thread suggesting people will make excuses if Golovkin wins, as if he's not supposed to. He's a huge favorite, everyone will expect him to win. Who the hell would make excuses?
