      It's a matter of fact that Hopkin's biggest wins were against smaller men moving up. Some of you dudes just want something to be angry about.

        Ive said before that all fighter resumes from past to present are littered with lesser fighters, b or C level, and no names but they have some big names/HOF/Legends in there. GGG resume isnt just littered with these lesser fighters, thats all there is

          When your fighter has a resume as poor as GGG's, you might want to STFU.

            What are you getting upset about? B-Hop is a first ballot hall of famer. But it's also true that his legacy wins were against smaller opponents at their upper limits. There's nothing subjective in it.

              It's funny because all the guys Golovkin has called out (Cotto, Canelo, Mayweather) are also smaller men.

                Never thought much of Bernard at 160, he was better at 175!
                As to GGG and his opponents!
                He came into prominence with Sergio as champ, Sergio wanted no part of him.
                Then Sergio drops the belt to the "safe" opponent Cotto!
                Cotto wqants no part of GGG!
                Then little Cotto makes Canelo come to the scales at 155 but weighs in 15 pounds more than Cotto fight time and takes the belt!
                NOW Canelo wants NO part of GGG!

                GGG doesn't need a "great" win(s) over anyone when EVERY 160 belt holder refuses to fight him!
                Those are the facts and other than matching up with mandatory assignments
                GGG is fighting the best he can find because the notables are NOT willing to fight him for the 160 belt legitimately!!!

                Is there anyone else on this forum who doesn't need to read names on a record to identify if someone has talent and skills?

                      Um...Who is upset? I'm just explaining the reason people think he needs to STFU.
