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

[Irony123]

How about a little context next time...GGG and Ward met with HBO. GGG said he was ready to make the fight. Ward said he wasn't.

GGG turned down a lousy offer from Ward that came after they'd already had a MW unification PPV fight booked with a mandatory and 2 other unification fights on the horizon. They'd invested 2 years into MW unification. Ward, who hadn't fought a 168 in 2 years, sent a BS offer that they knew would be turned down immediately, as it should have been. Ward then ran to the press with it. Still waiting to see all those damning emails they keep talking about. They basically told Ward - get to work and we'll talk in 2017.

Ward had plenty of time to go after GGG between the Monroe fight and the Lemieux announcement. Why did he wait? GGG's been KOing MW contenders at a rate of 3 or 4 a year while Ward's done what exactly?

context is important... but you are wasting your time with that guy.

If you beat a guy in the top 10 you are a contender and not a prospect. So we know that's not true. I agree his resume is underwhelming though and I'm getting anxious to see him fight somebody who has a chance to win.

[CaneloMaidana]

well theres your problem...Boxrec has the worst ranking system ever

No one else ranks opponents as bad as Golovkin fights.

2017? Just say Golovkin is a protected bum.

Yes. Unfortunately, I know.

2017? Just say Golovkin is a protected bum.

Yeah, 2017. After Ward's actually done something inside a ring that isn't ancient history...It's okay...Ward will be getting a chance to "chase greatness" against a guy his own size later this year. Unfortunately, GGG will have to wait as Canelo will be handing over his lunch $ soon.

what exactly has GGG done in the ring period?

[Larry the boss]

Anyone remember Tunney/Freedom posting about the "fair and impartial" boxrec computer? LOL!!!!

yep..until we told him they had Floyd ranked #7 in their ATG rankings...lol

34 years old and not a single good name. Some of the names i never even heard of or seen fight. And no that wasnt back in the day this is recent including his upcoming fight.

Passes the eye test but so do many others

Wasting his career but oh well its his
