i don't see what's the problem with golovkin's fanbase. at least they (we?) are literate and not racist and actually talk about boxers other than golovkin. kovalev's fanbase may be smaller but i've seen way worse posts from those guys, referring to black people as monkeys and labelling boxers cowards and writing in txt spk and ****
which 3 boxers have the worst FanBoys ???

This is an amazingly sad post.
People criticizing GGG's resume and his failure to live up to his words regarding fighting anyone from 154-168 has nothing to do with him not being black.
The reality is posters like you who for years have criticized resumes and hypocrisy of certain boxers now fail to do so with GGG and some others. When called on this you deflect and bring this up.
Most of the people criticizing GGG are not black, and even if they were, there is no way you could possibly tell unless they came out and stated they were.
Don't get mad at people because they point out GGG didn't do something he said he would or when they raise legitimate questions about the lack of quality opposition.
Just posting what I observe. I hate that you're so upset about it.
And fwiw, I haven't criticized any fighter's resume. I'm guessing you're trying to lump me in with the May-Hater crowd, which is way off-base. I'm a big fan of his and I respect Floyd's accomplishments and the number of champions he has made to look like club fighters. But Floyd has had a lot of advantages that Gennady didn't have. If you can't admit this, you're simply in denial. Another hard fact in this situation is that Gennady got to be a bigger name faster than Floyd did, starting from the time each man fought on American TV. I think this is where a lot of the hate is rooted. Exciting fighters get hyped faster than boring fighters, regardless of resumes or accomplishments. Add in the fact that Gennady seems like an cool, humble, respectful guy, and his quick rise to fame makes a ton of sense.
I'm not mad at anybody. I just get a bit frustrated seeing all this hate lobbied at a fighter just because he's gotten a lot of hype. He earned it. He's exciting. The fact that tickets at MSG are dissapearing so fast is a testament to this. People want to watch fights, not sparring sessions.Last edited by Contra; 08-13-2015, 10:32 AM.Comment

Floyd's resume gets criticized because people don't like him as a person and/or they find his style boring, so they dog him any way they can. I'm not one of those people. I respect his resume and his skillset. That's probably because I used to be an am. kickboxer. Anyone who has ever stepped in the ring can appreciate watching Floyd.
As for the Wilder comparison... no. Just no.
How many top 10 heavyweights has he knocked out? See this is what I'm talking about. Bums? Really? I know it's said with some hyperbole, but in his last 10 fights he's fought 6 top ten contenders (three of them were top 5), one being a former unified champ, and an upcoming unification with a top 5 contender and IBF champ. And he didn't sc**** by, no close decisions. He fúckin destroyed these guys. Fúck off with that bum shít. It's getting old.
The one decent fighter Deontay faced took him the distance and he looked wild and amateurish in that fight. It doesn't take a boxing expert to see the skill gap between Golovkin and Wilder. Not a valid comparison at all.Last edited by Contra; 08-13-2015, 10:26 AM.Comment

pac man fanatics are the very worst fan base in boxing history, the reason most people hate alot of mayweather fans (some do go overboard) is for reasons not releated to boxing, ie they defend a woman beater, they dont denounce him saying hes TBE, they are ******, thugs, only like him because hes black etc... they simply cant see how anyone can be a fan of such filth. im a mayweather fan based on his boxing skill and in ring accomplishments but i admit he can be full of sht at times but who isnt?
pac man fanatics have infested the internet and ruined the whole vibration of trying to talk boxing on forums. whereever there is an article about mayweather there they are spewing negativity no matter the topic. they also make countless threads about floyd daily to ensure in their minds they are right. Do floyds fans do this daily? yes there are cases but its much higher amongst the pac fanatics.
As a mayweather fan first I respect pac mans skill and know hes an ATG. most pac fans discredit anything floyd does and its as if he hasnt accomplished anything in the sport. and if you dont take this stance you are a nuthugger and all these other names when all you did was come to talk boxing. pac mans fanatics (not fans) are flat out disrespectful and the worst fan base ever IMOComment
