Golovkin is a 34 year old veteran... yet has the resume of a prospect...

No dumb****, he's doing really well career wise. It was a waste before he could get on HBO due to their exclusive output deal with GBP/Haymon way back, but since he's made great strides. Most popular central Asian boxer ever, by far.

Coward. So scared.

[CaneloMaidana]

since these forums have a filter that changes swear words into ******, they should add in a feature that changes all these GGG hate threads into a simple "GGG is not black" post.

That would sure simplify things........

Do Black posters like Adonis? Nope. Golovkin is Adonis with you racist losers to protect her.

Barely lost a round or two to all the top MW contenders who've been willing to get in the ring with him the past 4 years. Knocking them all out at a rate of 3 or 4 a year in the process. All the while, he's entertaining people who are filling arenas on both coasts. If that's ordinary, name some of the other guys who are doing the same thing.

You don't think GGG wouldn't have jumped at a chance to be handed a weight class tournament like Ward was? Why didn't Martinez fight him? Sturm? Quillen? Cotto? Why isn't Saunders trying to make the fight? Jacobs? Canelo? You think GGG's been ducking these guys?

Wilder and Joshua are champs with higher KO percentage but wrong color. He would demand 10 million for tournament

Their are only three major belts WBC, WBA and IBF, two are lesser acknowledged WBO and IBO and the Ring belt is an award more so than a title belt.

GGG has two major belts, and three baubles to proudly decorate himself with like a christmas tree, if you count his interim WBC. I'll admit he looks cute trying to look tough with them all though, especially with that green one like 'look at me I'm a real champ I got a green belt like my idol Canelo the real champ'

The Wbo and Ibo are not on the same footing at all. Other sanctioning bodies don't rank Wbo champs, which makes it a major belt.

Hard to tell what the rest of this **** means

Boxrec, no one else ranks fighters the level that Golovkin fights.

Boxrecs rankings are pretty damn poor - they should add the disclaimer 'for informational purposes only' - but here's an amusing fact if you're using Boxrec for your misinformation. It turns out the highest ranking fighter GGG has faced is not Lemieux but Geale who had (at the time GGG fought him) 423pts - exactly the same as Ward has now (under the recently revised pts system). It would probably have ranked him about #30 p4p.

Um - just as a matter of curiousity.. when you were doing your research into the p4p rankings (BS tho Boxrec may be) of GGG opponents did you use their current rankings? You did, didn't you?

Don't be so lazy. Give me some details to substantiate your point here. How many title defenses, opponents' divisional rankings, etc.. Also, you have some inside info on what GGG would demand to take part in a MW tournament? Please share...

Wrong color?...Wilder and Joshua are the same color as the sport's ATG and #1 $$$ earner Floyd.

The WBO is no more prestigious thàn the IBO, unless of course you're a GGG fanboy trying to justify a Saunders fight.

I agree, it isn't fair to Abraham. He's had a very solid career. GGG on the other hand.....not so much.

Clueless. The Wbo is a major belt, the Ibo is not.

I take it you haven't followed Abe's MW campaign. There's a reason Ggg is p4p everywhere, and Abe never was at any point
