The Truth about GGG, get your hate in check

All this complaining should be directed at those who have over the years, with Canelo being the current fighter to do it, have avoided GGG at all cost.

But GGG is a hype job right, but these guys wanted nothing to do with this hype job.

Peter Quillin, when he held the WBO title. At the time GBP wanted nothing to do with GGG taking on Quillin.

When Geale was a title holder, he wanted nothing to do with GGG.

Title holder Felix Sturm wanted nothing to do with GGG

WBC interim title holder Sebastian Zbik nothing to do with GGG.

RING/WBC champ Sergio Martinez wanted nothing to do with GGG.

Hassan N’Dam vacated a interim title to duck GGG.

Cotto wanted nothing to do with GGG.

B. Suanders wants nothing to do its GGG.

And GBP PPV star, WBC titleholder, and Ring/Lineal MW titleholder, Canelo Alverez wants nothing to do with GGG. Wait, he says he'll fight GGG if he "has to." If he has too, that's actually saying he wants nothing to do with GGG.

GGG has 21 KO streak which includes seven RING-rated MW fighters, including Proksa, Macklin, Stevens, Geale, Rubio, Murray and Lemieux.

So what if GGG called Floyd out, so did Ward, even going as far as to call him 'lil Floyd.' Where have we seen this game.

Is there a sanctioning body rule that means a guy coming off of a loss can't challenge for Golovkin's belts? If not they should consider Andy Lee. It wouldn't be a great win but not terrible either.

[mathed]

Well, if no one else is man enough to take the fight I say why not?

Garbage post but nothing out of the norm for Xi

Fighting Andy Lee's leftovers now. Golovkin needs to sack up and give Erislandy Lara a call already.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Damn. I feel bad for all this hate Korobov is receiving just because he's fighting GGG. He's a great boxer. He's a two time World Gold medalist...

Korobov lost by TKO to Andy Lee, but I think he could have kept going in all honesty. He was taking some shots but he didn't fold. Dude has an iron chin and probably should have taken a knee and recompose himself.

People act like Korobov is a bum because of that one loss, but lets not forget he was pretty much dominating the score cards against Lee.

50-45, 50-45, 48-47 were the judges score at that point, and I also had Korobov ahead (almost every round).


But, as per usual, if you aren't an all-time great you're a bum if you're fighting Golovkin. Only bigger opponents are acceptable. Scratch that, if you have even one suspect loss to a non-all-time great you're also a bum.

GGG might want to at least consider moving to 168. At his rate, and its not his fault, his goal of unifying 160 will come true when he's about 50.

[aboutfkntime]

I agree with some who say A) no one will fight him and B) he does make world class fighters look bad because he is a powerhouse. But the fact is, he needs a career-defining win and he has not yet had that. We need to see what happens when he fights a guy who has serious boxing skills, power, and can take it and give it. And before anyone says that there is no one out there who can do that, remember this, every fighter has an opponent who will have their number and will take them through hell and back. Every fighter that ever lived has faced that. Then we will see what he is made of. And any talk of how he would fare against the greats of all time needs to be restrained till he actually fights someone who is a near great or great.

Well, I think that both of those statements are bull****.

SOME fighters are avoiding Golovkin, TODAY, no question.

But Golovkin COULD have fought 4 world-class opponents by now.

And in every single case he CHOSE not to fight them.

Golovkin has the exact resume he wanted.

What world-class opponent did Golovkin fight ?

[aboutfkntime]

It ain't GGG's fault that nobody will fight him.Maybe he should take on a weak opponent and not knock him out and fight terrible just to draw a big name in.

GGG's record is quite underrated

Ummm no, it really isn't.

that is the problem of GGG. He knocks those guys out and makes them look like weak fighters but in reality they are worldclass fighters. If there wasn such fighter as GGG the middlewight division would have a lot of champions and everybody would think middleweight division is best. But ggg is levels above them so fans get false picture of his opposition

Oh bull****, name one.

Golovkin has one opponent that comes close, and that is it.

You guys are trippers.

And if you reply saying, Pepe Le Pew, my advice would be just log off.
