    The shoulder roll is a Mayweather family trademark, Floyd took it to another level, and Floyd before 147 was a ridiculous phenomenal boxer and entertainer. It was in the later weights where he took DEFENSE to a whole other level. Floyd has traveled the weights and showed his knockout power since Super Feather. The way Floyd rocked Gatti or out boxed Marquez..what is there to hate about Floyd, and his infamous check hook on Hatton. Those moves are hard to pull off only a troll thinks it's not an accomplishment. GGG hasn't even moved up in weight... If GGG moves to Light Heavyweight or Cruiser and shows the world masterclass defensive moves and less offense then I'll quit boxing as a whole.

        Ding ding ding.....TKO


        or how boring he is

          I don't really give a **** about him as a person. I don't know him and neither do any of you. He seems nice, is unintentionally funny sometimes but mostly boring to listen to. He could be a **** for all we know. Who cares really?

          But I'm beginning to care less and less about him as a boxer which is important to me. I already know what he can do against a certain level and style of opponent and it's becoming less and less impressive.

          I literally don't care about his fights any more because of the continuously sub-par level of opposition and the painfully predictable outcomes.

          I will keep repeating it, his fights are the most boring in the entire sport.

            David Lemieux was the bridge. He was the "Edison Miranda". A solid MW with a big punch and some clout, but a guy you expected Kelly Pavlik to get by in an action fight.

            Golovkin is more Kelly Pavlik before the Taylor fights for me right now.

                This is true. Or rather at least now. People go crazy when I put down Chavez Sr. padded resume, just like Buck Smith. It wasn't until Chavez Sr. fought real opposition is when one could criticize him. He couldn't do anything to De La Hoya and Whittaker was a classic insecure corrupt bout.

                I think the reason people have tolerance is because Hagler was a bonafide Middle weight and already was at GGG's status by his mid to late 20s. Even then Hagler had fought 4 or 5 undisputed Middleweights.

                GGG has yet to accomplish this at 160, and he is truly lucky that its not a 160 era as of late.

                It's clear that K2 are just trolls or else they'd welcome more 154. In the ring with Lara would be great for GGG. Who cares if Lara doesn't bring ratings. Of course Lara is no Trinidad like when fought Bhop at 160, but they made it happen for the benefit of boxing. Had Lara gotten the Draw with his already better punch stats than Canelo everybody would be giving Lara more respect.

                  Fans being annoying are just the icing on the cake, they are never the principle reason a fighter is disliked. I don't hate on Mayweather, Broner, Khan because of their fans. I dislike the fighters first - that's what makes their fans insufferable, because you're already hating on the guy they nut-hug.

                  The Golovkin hate is utterly laughable.
                  This!

                  Same sht they said with Pac, "oh dey just have annoying fanz" in reality they dislike a non black being the main star of boxing.

                    I like a wide range.

                    I like plenty of aggressive fighters. Golovkin just isn't one of them.
