Comments Thread For: What if Gennady Golovkin Loses?

[Jsmooth9876]

Well if he loses I imagine something like the 72 dolphins team raising their glasses up in celebration when the last undefeated team in the NFL loses......except replace them with the black panthers on this site lol....

If he loses he loses. I mean seriously have we as boxing fans been so spoiled that we expect everyone to remain undefeated forever? A fighter is not defined by a single or several loses. In fact I think a fighter shows more resolve in bouncing back from a loss than at any other point of their career. Yeah it's nice to go undefeated and all that but that means you missed out on another narrative one people can relate to and that's being down and bouncing back from it.

I agree with that, but only when evaluating established/proven fighters.

And that is more relevant toward the end of their careers, with hindsight.

A common perception among insiders is that Lemieux has not evolved that much since losing to Rubio and Alcine...... another common perception among insiders is that Golovkin is largely untested against top competition.

So if Golovkin loses to Lemieux, he will likely be called a hypejob.

He will then have the rest of his career to turn that perception around.

If GGG had already beaten top opponents we could call it an anomaly.

Chill, he won't lose to Lemieux.

If he loses, all of the haters will call Lemieux a bum to justify calling GGG a bum, despite the fact that every fighter in their career have had their moments.

Regardless, it wouldn't change my opinion on GGG. He is an entertaining fighter, and I think Lemieux is a good fighter as well who gets no credit. This generation is a joke, they've come to idolize that "0" that Mayweather has so much that they think a loss instantly tarnishes a fighters legacy.

Bum, is a terrible word. In the top middleweight era's, Lemieux would have lost to a number of mid-level guys.

Anyone actually putting his worthless points where his mouth is? I got 1 trillion for your 2 since you're so sure this is a 20:1 fight. 2:1 is okay with me. You can offer me more if you're feeling generous.

Obviously, I'm for Lemieux.

I don't need your points.
Is it 20:1? If Lemieux wins, I'll send you 20 trillion... No shit!

Catchweights doe.

Catchweight doe?

Catchweight doe.

Thats not a problem.

Andre Ward told me that Golovkin has no issue with catchweights.

Also, Cotto is the a-side.

was you old enough to watch Tyson/Douglas?

if so how was the Tyson hype after the fight?

Tyson was a proven household name at that stage.

Huh?

How does Golovkin come into it?

You were talking about Cotto fighting Ward, Lee and Lemieux at catchweights, not Golovkin, goldfish brain.

Dont be ridiculous you guys.....

IF Golovkin loses to Lemieux, he will abso-fkn-lutely be called a hypejob.

Being GGG, and losing to Lemieux, is absolutely failing to live up to your hype.

Luckily I have more faith in him than most of you lot.

What I see in this thread......
..... are a lot of people who have said one thing, but are now a little worried.

Chill, Golovkin got this ^^
