Why GGG gets blasted for something B hop did ?

Hopkin beat his share of bums, but in no way has ggg "certainly fought better comp at middleweight than Hopkins". Wins over JD Jackson, Glen Johnson, Simon Brown, Keith Holmes, Eastman, Joppy, Daniels, Trinidad, and Oscar crap all over anyone on gggs resume.Hell no Hopkins beat a ton of bums at middleweight, you can't even name half the guys Hopkins defended his titles against outside of De la Hoya and Trinidad two welterweights.
GGG has certainly fought better comp at middleweight than Hopkins. And once he beats Lee and Canelo he'll start getting the respect he deserves.Comment

How about comparing first two year of Hopkins's reign with first two years of GGG's career as a champion? You know - apples with apples...Comment

That wouldn't be apples to apples because you're talking about two different climates. What elite opponents did Hopkins have available to him in the first two years of his reign?Comment

Umm floyd is a 80-1 favoriteIt'd been going on for months when Oscar said the fight wasn't going to happen til next year? So GGG had no interest in the Ward fight and he was never looking to make it, it was all smoke and mirrors like people have been saying? (Ward) I fail to see where GGG gets credit for taking a fight as a 14-1 favorite. That's on par with Mayweather/Berto matchmaking, Floyd is a 18-1 favorite there.
But hey, he is GGG. His fans ignore these things like calling out 168, it was all dream now.
And echols and robert allen were borderline c level if that.Comment

You might have a point but I don't remember Bhop being presented an opportunity to put himself in boxings driver seat by taking a tough fight just eight pounds north and then turning it down after claiming he would fight anyone from 154-168Comment

Bhop turned pro after coming out of prison.
Golovkin turned pro after winning silver at the Olympics so more is expected of him.Comment
