    How was GGG seen in 2009-2013?

    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.

    2011 article/thread on Boxingscene regarding Ouma being hospitalized after fight with Golovkin: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=488752

    People back in 2011 was already speaking of Golovkin being avoided.

    http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=583211 - 2013 article/thread talking about Sturm avoiding Golovkin when he was his mandatory

    All these guys avoided or are avoiding Golovkin. Thats all the other belt holders and the best fighters in the division. It is truly said
    Article from 2012:

    Ward words towards GGG in January 2013:

    "Golovkin is a strong kid," Ward said. "Physically, he looks like he hits pretty hard, he's got some heavy hands. He looks like he's getting a push from media and fans. I think he's got potential, but I think he's got work to do. He's gotta beat some upper-echelon guys.

    Right now it doesn't look like those guys want to fight him, so it's not his fault. But I definitely feel like that could be a big fight (between he and Golovkin) down the road.
    Ward himself said... the guys are avoiding him, it's not his fault.

    Article/thread from 2013 when GGG stopped Maclkin and broke his rib:

    Article/thread from 2010 when GGG was avoided by Mundine:


    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.

        "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 don't think they believed in him though. Golovkin felt they kept him away from Felix Sturm and Sebastian Zbik. He also had some fights in weird places like Panama.

                    He was not a mega star.

                    He was promoted by Sturms people who was the biggest German star and they wouldn't match Golovkin and Sturm against each other, despite Golovkin being mandatory for two years. Sturms manager even bribed the WBA to avoid Golovkin. Not only would they not give him Sturm they weren't getting him any significant fights at all. This led to a lawsuit which was why Golovkin had to take fights in Panama and Kazakhstan just to stay active. He was not treated well at all. Once the nasty legal stuff was settled he split and signed with K2, who immediately got him on HBO. This has been explained to you before.
