Excuses people will have if GGG wins?

[just the facts]

Lol **** all this ****.

Golovkin is about to be WBA/IBF champion and has the rights to face the winner of Cotto-Canelo for the WBC/Lineal title.

And ggg passed on a career defining fight with Ward to accomplish this feat!

Lemiux is garbage alcine even exposed hin

[-Kev-]

Bro comon, ouma is doodoo. Murray, Macklin, Geale and Monroe are decent wins though.

Oh shoot I could swear Algieri was top 10 at 140 according to The Ring and Boxrec after the Pacquiao fight but before the Amir Khan fight was announced but not sure how to check that. When he announced yet another fight at 147, I think that's when he was removed from 140lb rankings. Not 100% sure about this though.

Algieri was not ranked in either the top 10 at 140 or 147 when he fought Khan.

He wasn't ranked at all going in to the Prov fight, then the Prov win got him 140 top 10 barely, the lower tier. The Pac fight dropped him out of the top 10 at 140.

Lemieux was too much of a good boy.

GGG only beats good boys.

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.

Rosado, a LMW also had 0 bouts at MW.

GGG's team ducked the Lara fight. They said no.

Lemeiux lost to Rubio and what? Hopkins lost to Mitchell, Pacquiao to Torrecampo, Wlad to Puritty, Donaire to Sanchez.

Pepe Le Pew also lost to Joacim Alcine. And are you seriously trying to compare him to those fighters?

Take the L and move on. This was a major backfire.

FFS, Golovkin is going to be a big favorite.

What kind of backwards @ss logic is this?

What kind of backwards @ss logic is this?

What kind of backwards ass logic is to suggest that people are going to make "excuses" for why an overwhelming favourite beats a massive underdog?

Might as well make a thread saying "Excuses people will have if Danny Garcia wins this weekend?"

Man, I don't see you anywhere but in Golovkin threads. Maybe take a break? You spend so much time on here.

Most fighters would be the underdog vs Golovkin, but it doesn't mean people should make excuses to discredit wins. This proposes a good test in terms of his ability to respond to constant pressure and firepower.

Lemieux beat N-dam, who's a good boxer with a massive heart. He's no world beater but he's a good, strong middleweight who's on a win streak.

As selected by The Ring magazine Ratings Panel online through results of Dec 31, 2014 (Aka after Pac, Before Khan):

Danny (Swift) Garcia, Champion
1. Lucas Matthysse
2. Lamont Peterson
3. Chris Algieri
4. Ruslan Provodnikov
5. Mike Alvarado
6. Adrien Broner
7. Jessie Vargas
8. Viktor Postol
9. Khabib Allakhverdiev
10. Thomas Dulorme

Like I said, he was dropped out of the 140lb ratings because he was no longer considered a 140lb fighter. And that didn't happen until well after the Pacquiao fight ended, when Algieri announced a fight at 147. I know with confidence that when I checked The Ring ratings during the period after Chris Algieri fought Pacquiao and before he announced his fight with Amir Khan, he was absolutely in the top 10. Losing to Pacquiao doesn't make you a bum, bro.
