Comments Thread For: Holyfield Tabs Golovkin as The Number One P4P Fighter

[Daddy T]

He's like the Sonny Liston of the middleweights right now. Everybody knows he is the real champ but there is some small dude running around with his belt

He's now officially a demented Uncle Tom , 2nd only to George Foreman . I have no issues with someone black saying that about a white fighter , but at least let him earn it . Which Can on Bumlovkins resume made Holyfield say something so absurd ?

I think that was the point, those so called names won't fight anyone. GGG wants to fight everyone us his division. And the only guys anyone thinks can beat him sits in the LHW division.

If you closest competitor is that much bigger than you, you are damn good.

Now watch people hate Holyfield now for expressing his opinion.

[ShoulderRoll]

Holyfield is entitled to his opinion but he is wrong. He probably doesn't keep up with the current boxing scene that much for him to say something like that.

Golovkin hasn't earned that spot yet and will even admit to that himself.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

He's entitled to his opinion but it seems to be based on hypothetical wins and the perceived notion that everyone is scared of him.

Which is what GGG's whole career is based upon and why fans rate him so highly.

It's not actual wins that's for sure. And his skill level isn't that good to be rated number 1 solely on that.

According to former undisputed cruiserweight and heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield, IBO/WBA/IBF middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin is the best pound for pound fighter in the sport.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. (49-0, 26KOs) held the top pound for pound position for several years. He retired on September 12th after winning a twelve round decision over Andre Berto.

Hopkins be drinking dat kool-aid.

He's right that Golovkin is a top P4P fighter, but not #1, no way.

And his reasoning is fkn ridiculous.

Agreed....

[aboutfkntime]

Just like that, they will hate the guy.

Logic and reason be damned!

Don't be so childish, he's a legend.

Just not for his fight assessments.

GGG a Hype Job?

It's not actual wins that's for sure. And his skill level isn't that good to be rated number 1 solely on that.

Man, it's so odd that so many similar sized boxers with so called better resumes and a lot to lose are so scared of him.

I'm mean, the only guy who anyone names who has a legit shot is a LHW. What's that about.

Name one Person from 154-168 who beats him.

Or is it also his fault that no one does. So not a single credible opponent from 154-168. Not one.

Let's look, Lara, really, the guy who couldn't put Canelo away because he feared getting hit, by Canelo. And he is gonna engage with GGG? Enough to win and survive 12. Ok. Fantasy land.

What about Charlo? Pfft! Ok, well that's funny.

Andrade! Surely, maybe he has the power to back GGG up. Oh, naw he says eventually. So in other words wait him out.

On to MW then!

Canelo? Not likely.

Cotto? Not a chance.

Quillin? Lol! Ok.

Lee! Ha!

Eubanks. Ok, never mind with MW.

SMW

Damn, it looks like the 154 was a bigger challenge.

So, it's Ward then. A damn LHW. Then what, Kovalev.

Damn that GGG is a hype job.
