How was GGG seen in 2009-2013?

[vman075]

"Unified belts." Lol

IBO been trashed here at Boxingscene numerous times...but I guess for some fighters it's ok.

Promoted from the WBA.... beat Lemieux to "unify" an IBF. Yeah he unified all right..

To Kovalev fans stealing the belts from a 48 year old LHW is the best thing ever.

I hate people who just want to say something negative, but there's not really anything negative to say in the situation, so they just come up with some dumba*s statement like this.

No one said he was unified champion bc he held the IBO belt. And was Lemiuex not a real champion? Yea, he was. He beat him and unified the titles.

Yeah well unfortunately boxing has its trends and history. I have no control over Lil G's resume or mgmt.

When so many go so far out their way to start threads saying what a bum GGG is it just proves how good he is.If he really was a bum everybody would know it. His haters wouldn't have to try so hard to convince boxing scene that he is this bum that keeps knocking out other bums.

Sounds like OP is in love...

[BrometheusBob.]

There is truth in OP's post but the fact is, the better someone does the higher the expectations get.

I remember I read many old articles in the last weeks about Gennady. These were from 2009-2013.

He was seen as the future MW champion by many. Or as a superb MW. Someone that was a threat and was coming to take over the MW division. Some also said things like: "yeah, he's good, let's see". That was the lowest opinion you could find about him.

Then he started unifying belts and one portion of the boxing fans started calling him overrated, someone with no resume and so on.

WTF happened. Some people are really jealous of someone's success.

People talking about all the good MWs avoiding Golovkin, six years ago:


I could go on forever... people was respecting him like the tremendous fighter he is. Saying how impressive he was.

But when success and recognition came after 2014, something happened.
Assh*les started to hate him badly. They hate him, they envy him. They say he's a bum. They blame him for not having big names on his resume, when even Ward himself said it was not his fault that people was avoiding him. We have fighters like Sergio Martinez saying GGG was off the charts, and so on, but they ignore it, they just hate it. And Ward, the *******, now calls him "little G".
The ****** no brainers tell him B side, and says he needs to lose weight for a fat ginger that outweights him already.

Some people is just ****** and that will never change.

The simple response is that he didn't actually fight anyone. Gary Russell Jr was seen as one of the sport's best fighters and then ... he kept on having prospect-level fights and folks started to question; he steps in with Lomachenko (a fighter that folks believe is the goods), gets ourclassed, and the doubts start setting in. Russell blasts out Jhonny Gonzalez and deads that talk immediately.

Even with Andre Ward, he debuted at the end of 2004 and was moved along rather slowly up to the start of 2009 (fighting at that "top prospect" level for nearly 5 years); he kicks off 2009 with a fight with Edison Miranda (a guy who the boxing public understood was a "real one"), has a final tune up, and then has been fighting "top of the table" opposition since then.

Golovkin fought Proksa, fought Rosado ... and basically kept things at about that level since, ducking out on any dangerous fight that was short of being a money fight.

If he'd simply fought Erislandy Lara (have K2 make a serious offer for the fight, at 160, and force Lara's camp to walk away), he'd have at least one scalp worth something on his resume.

You have to be a moron to believe that Lara can be a dangerous fight to GGG. Lara was almost put KO by Angulo. And Lara hasn't even fought at 160. If he's serious about fighting GGG he should at least negotiate when GGG is free. His team always talk about GGG when GGG has already signed for a fight.

Andre ward: "the guys are avoiding him and it's not his fault".

Good bye.

Did you read the list of champions "avoiding" Lil C (contradiction)?

Sturm, Murray, Geale, Martinez (shot to ****)

The prosecution has no further questions.
