GGG is officially the new mayweather

Sentiment of the OP is dead on, though I would say "delusional" to describe the fans and critics.

Let's not compare the two, even in a different context. By age 33 Floyd had already gone up 24lbs from his debut weight, picked up titles in 5 weight classes, picked up 3 Lineal/Ring titles, beat 7 title holders, beat 5 #1 ranked fighters at 130, 135, 140, and 147, and was constantly 10-15lbs lighter than his opponent on fight night. Several of Floyd's opponents went on to become titlists, top 10 P4P fighters, and Ring champs. This was all by 33.

Golovkin is 33 and is scared to death of moving up 8lbs, his fans excuse him of moving up because he weighs 167lbs 1 week away from a MW fight, Floyd weighs 147lbs one month away from a WW fight, but fought at 154. Golovkin has never won an actual title from a titlist, this is going to be his first time against Lemieux. Golovkin's opponents from Proksa-Present were mediocre before GGG and kept their mediocre career going after GGG. Their total record is 12-11-1 after Golovkin. No GGG opponent is looking like they will have any accomplishment as they were only hyped up momentarily to make a GGG win over them look good. But they actually aren't good fighters.

Yet needs an IV to "rehydrate" and he has titles at 154 yet he's too small to fight GGG there...
Golovkin just hit the scene in America and HBO 3 years ago and has fought like 12 times already and is headlining his own PPV at a sold out MSG...and he's not American...
I'd say that's pretty impressive stuff so far for GGG....lets see where he ends up...

I don't see any hate for GGG. I think the consensus is the same amongst most boxing fans....he has not been truly tested. I'd like to see him fight Ward. I think this is a good fight. The excuse of going up is a poor one.
