    those welter weights were big welters but I understand, some criticize haggler for staying in one weight class. I tried and got hit with all kinds of facts lol

        I just think he's comfortable, he's making good money from HBO. He's like HBO's favorite. They pay him to get the KO's. That's his job, and he's doing a job well done. Nobody cares which top 10 mandatory can he is fighting at MW, as far as the fans/wirters go, because the fans who love GGG love KO's. He's selling out tickets fast, racking up KO's, media/journalist have no critique to say about him only praise, his fans are loyal.

        I used to hate on him, but now that hate is dwindling down because there's no point. I'm not a fan of GGG but i'm no longer a hater, i'm not knocking what K2/HBO are doing. Boxing is a business first.

          Did you compare Canelo, Spence, Thurman and Charlos to Leonard, Duran and Hearns?

          The Golovkin fans are delusional.

              So then who are the welterweights that GGG needs to fight to be great like Hagler and Hopkins? Both of their best middleweight wins are against former welterweights.

                K2 and Abel turned GGG into an unknown with promotional issues, to a top 3 P4P fighter and top 25 fighter of the last 25 years by fighting mediocre opponents and mando's. The old men who ducked him don't even matter, Cotto and Martinez were on their way out and they were never going to fight an unknown like GGG before fighting each other and Canelo. I admit it is Canelo job to fight GGG though, he's not an old man, he needs to do it. Cotto and Martinez get a pass cause they were old ****s, past prime trying to cash out, Cotto is small as **** for MW.

                    Seriously, you're getting old! You are a very dangerous boxer, the best in the middleweight division, but you have not proven yourself against impressive opponents yet! Enough of Macklins and Geales! Accept that you need to take some chances to achieve greatness! You're getting avoided? Yeah, that's true. It's sad and annoying. But time is ticking, man. Do you wanna achieve greatness or not? Do you want to show the world what you're made of for real? Just face that coward Canelo at 155 lbs, you can easily beat him, he's a hypejob! He won't have any excuses if you accept to fight him at 155 lbs! Winning that fight would make you so famous that the other impressive opponents will be forced to fight you! As I said, and now will say again: Golovkin, pull yourself together!

                    Fight Billy Joe Saunders too, just let him have his conditions, he's a proven and undefeated champion with wins against Eubank Jr. and Lee. Just man up, swallow your pride, take a chance. For the fans. They made you rich. Now show them that you are worth the money. You can do it if you pull yourself together.
                    Translation: Golovkin, lose already!

                      You compared a guy who waited at middleweight for a bunch of smaller guys to come up to someone doing the same thing bud.

                      If those guys didn't have the balls to fight Hagler who would he be today?
                      When Canelo decides to get smashed then GGG has that name he needs on his resume.
