    Last night we had GGG suckboys saying that a back n forth action fight between Cleverly-Fonfara was **** because it wasn't for a title.

    Now we have to be thrilled by Golovkin methodically beating up another absolute no hoper in a glorified mismatch.

    I hope these con artists step up before 2017.
    How was it boring??

      Lol do you guys even watch boxing? Mayweather is not the only fighter to move up several divisions, Pacquiao did as well and his style remained unchanged (until the KO), Duran was another one. It's a weak argument, even when fighting guys his size he fights the same way.

        Golovkin methodically and boringly beating up another completely overmatched opponent. How exactly was that NOT boring?

          He showed tremendous skill and aggression, beating another top middleweight who was a champion. GGG critics have talked about him never facing a champion, now he did it and made it look easy. But he did catch a few rockets, and ultimately stopped his opponent.

          Punches with bad intentions, took some and gave a lot.

          It was a good fight.

                Loooooool. Everyone loses something. They all did. Not to mention the fact that he was already old during those fights. Well, maybe not Marquez, but he was still a higher calibre of fighter and a better win than anyone GGG has faced so far.

                  Jermain Taylor was the holder of that belt until a few months ago until he got stripped.

                  That was never the criticism.

                  Golovkin bashed up another overmatched fighter. Nothing interesting happened.

                    It's not Lemiuex fault that he was stripped? He won the title fair and square, he wasn't given it.

                    If Lemiuex is another over matched opponent, then all middleweights will be overmatched. Tell me one other fighter in the middleweight division, that would definitely beat Lemieux? I can't think of any I would bet heavily on.

                    Jacobs, Quillin, Cotto, Lee - all of those guys will probably share the same destiny as Lemiuex did tonight and will you say the same thing? GGG is cleaning out the division, one at a time.

                    Next year I'm thinking Golovkin vs Lee will happen (if he beats BJS), then he'll be WBO/WBA/IBF champ for sure.

                    It's not GGGs fault he is the best in the world, and it certainly wasn't boring.
