Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Lemieux Weigh-In Results From NYC

[daggum]

What bothered me about the weigh in was that Lemieux stripped right out of his trunks before even trying to get weighed. To me that indicated that he was nervous about making weight. That would mean that he went on a hell of a weight drain to make weight.

Now he has a same day weight in where he cannot top 170 and that will leave him the rest of the day to pack some pounds back on. I figure he will come in close to 180 when he hits the ring and that may end up slowing him down.

Oh well... he can share Rubio's excuse. LOL

didn't bother me at all! yum yum

What the fuck are you even talking to me about? You are telling me the most rosy view of Golovkin possible and telling me to watch fights better. I see nothing critical of you toward Golovkin as a fighter, so if you can't see anything wrong or any way he could possibly lose (at all) that should make you ask some questions right there.

I don't really think Lemieux is going to win or is the better fighter, but that doesn't really mean Lemieux can't win the fight. Things Lemieux does well can work out well against some of the things I have seen with Golovkin. However, Lemieux got stung in the N'Dam fight which was his last fight, which keeps those questions relevant even though he did very well in that fight that doesn't auger well for this fight. His stamina does seem better though, but I don't think that will matter that much.

When I see something in Golovkin worth criticizing, I will do so. At the moment, I have not seen any fighter be able to shake him in any way at all. I have not seen any fighter be able to take control of even a portion of a round. I have yet to see any fighter take him off his game or go into a defensive shell in a fight.

If I see GGG taking ****** risks with Lemieux, like trying to let him back into the fight after having him down and out like he did with Monroe, yeah, I will call him out on it because I think it would be ****** against such a fighter.

But I refuse to criticize ANY fighter because of what he MAY do in the ring or because of what an opponent MAY be able to do in the ring against him. Let's see someone do it first, BEFORE we criticize him for it.

Willful ignorance will always make you behind the curve, which is not a way I can view fights or fighters.

I wasn't even that critical of Golovkin here and you have written me a novella about what exactly? if you only pay attention to the positives of Golovkin what do you really have to say except one side of the story. Don't act like I am the ****ty boxing fan here because I see more than you~.

I am well aware of the positives of Golovkin and dude is a very good fighter, a bit unproven but that doesn't make him incapable. The fight with Lemieux despite Lemieux's limitations is a test and a step in the right direction because it is a different test than other "top" guys he has fought like Geale and Murray.

And we have another winner! Another genius for my ignore list.

You must love your ignore list!

If anyone here is an expert on willful ignorance, you would be the one. Has PBC signed that billion dollar network deal yet?

The best option anyone ever thought of including in message board software. Without it, I would have left here within a week of joining.

Why so serious?

I'm a Floyd fan, imagine how many people I'd have to block. I never did. Not one. I don't even know where the ignore or block button is. I laugh at some and argue with others.

It's a discussion board. I love NSB, although it is pro Pac/GGG (white). For example, I have always had an issue with that sticky Floyd IV thread. It's distasteful, but I never said anything about it. It's not a good look for Boxingscene. I don't know about the legality of having that sticky IV thread up. Why is there no saltwater heals all Pac's injuries sticky?

It's not that serious. Relax, bro.

After the time buys?

Which was always what I said, so once again who is being willfully ignorant? You see what you want and read what you want ignoring anything you don't want to deal with.

So thank you for making my point.

I love discussion, intelligent discussion. Unfortunately there are many people around here who are not capable of that and so they end up on my ignore list. Life is too short to put up with idiots. Who needs that kind of aggravation? I deal with enough fools in my regular life, don't need it here where I come to relax.

You know Gennady is half-white and Pac isn't white at all, right?

But because these guys have a lot of fans (because they're exciting, talented boxers), and they're not black, that means that NSB is somehow pro-white?

All I've noticed since I joined BoxingScene is that a lot of black posters spend all their time shítting on non-black fighters. Always the same characters, always the same bullshít talk.

Is it some kind of revenge thing for all the hate Floyd got over the years?
