What is there to dislike about Gennady Golovkin?

[MDPopescu]

Wasn't that 15+ years ago?

... Once one has to actually fight his way into life since childhood, one never changes deep inside...

IMO, Kovalev looks much more naturally relaxed...

[Canelo Phresh]

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Well I don't know him personally, but he definitely seems like a nice and humble guy to me.

Kovalev is also a racist from a known racist town in Russia. GGG has changed and is a new person, he was most likely fitting in and growing up with his surroundings and whether good or bad, it's not his fault.

It is obvious that there are many new GGG fans, particularly because they're referring to his jab. GGG was significantly known in the last 2 years with that ''jab'' against an upcoming 154 Rosado and against Curtis Stevens. Then somehow K2 or Sanchez brought up the marketing gimmick of ''Mexican'' style against a non Chavez Jr. style fighter, Rubio, and that ''hype'' style of cutting off the ring translated up to the Murray bout.

Then K2, as well as GGG, and Golden Boy, promote a slugfest style of fight, of course general verbage to promote PPV, but then all we see is conservative fighting and GGG's old style approach of just using the jab. He could've just closed it at 4 rounds if he went aggressive. That would've been to his favor vs newer buyers of PPV watching this performance, which in reality wasn't even exciting rather boring.

GGG is getting tagged more and more in these later years. I just want to see GGG handle Quillin's left hook or straight right cross the way Lee ate in the 1st round. Quillin is a timed fighter, and I don't see GGG running him if that bout happens. It will go 12...perhaps UD for GGG, but GGG's aggression is fading come forward his 35 birthday.

Also, GGG stating that he wanted the best of Southpaw opportunities, yet K2 conveniently have not mentioned Lee after the first bout was cancelled. Same thing with Korobov. I have seen the tapes. GGG is not fancy with Southpaws, or least with not elite Southpaws. A weak 6 KO Monroe Jr. is the sole reason why they chose him.

Nonetheless, now GGG has more belts, and fighters will now be hungrier and perhaps more daring to really want it.

Pretty much his skin color and demeanor. If he was darker; if he was a racist; if he, as a grown man, pretended to be a thug; if all his achievements were just handed down to him; and if he beat his wife(a big plus), or any woman for that matter, then all his haters would love him.

I get it, but I don't understand the logic. What do fighters' fans have to do with them? I just ignore all the fanboys and enjoy the fighters themselves.

Yea idu the people who are like that all that much either tbh..I'm just saying. I just know when you reach a certain status you magically wake up one day to have some fans hyping or ****ting on everything & anything you do. The best & most obvious examples are with Floyd & Manny, but I think you see it with most branded type level fighters. Like you can tell Roman Gonzalez hasn't made it to that level yet just cuz there isn't 5+ guys on this forum ****ting on him at every mention of his name.

Did i say anywhere that GGG is "guilty" of something?
... (Kovalev: being a Russian and being a "racist" are synonyms...)

Broner was with HBO and they built his entire career, and really tried hard. In the end, they willingly passed on him. Why? Because it wasn't value for money.

When did Broner sell out a 15k arena as the one bringing the fight fans to the table? When did he fight a no name and draw in that kind of crowd or viewing figures? At the height of his career with HBO he brought in 1.4million viewers and a 3k crowd. Good, but Golovkin is smashing those numbers and he's not even american!

What I dont think is a coincidence is every time there's a thread like this, you're the one mentioning colour. Not the so-called haters.

Broner is a Haymon fighter and they all jumped ship to Showtime where they're paid more, GGG is heavily promoted because he's their only star barring Canelo and has an exciting style.

Vast majority of GGG haters are black there's no denying it.

[jqSide]

People don't dislike him they dislike his fans.

Absolute nonsense. How old are you, ten?
