So Golovkin beat Saunders

[Cody8804]

He now has accomplished his strange obsession of having all the middleweight belts. Now what? Will he finally go up in weight and try to have some semblance of a small legacy or will it be too late? His legacy will probably be 'the boxer who had the easiest route to unification/ the guy who won most belts on technicalities.' Why is Golovkin obsessed with belts more than doing great things?

Nothing strange there, you just don't know **** about boxing. They asked Porter on a Pbc show a few months back, what's your goal? All the belts, of course.

If he breaks the MW defense record, all by Ko, that's already a nice legacy

The welterweight division is filled with talent and seeing it being unified would be exciting. Porter isn't being handed belts on technicalities while fighting the bum of the month club the way Golovkin is. Breaking the middleweight defense record means nothing when you've fought no one in the top ten. It's similar to Cuenca being 48-0. Yeah but the opponents were horrible.

That's just an example, most fighters want all the belts. It's not technicalities, its straight ducks. Doesn't get more convincing, the other champ doesn't even feel like he's got any chance. And this is not any champ, but #1 superstar with a much superior resume. Cuenca never had all the belts or even a legit one, he fought fringe comp in his division.

Bull****. The WBC rules put Golovkin in a position to get more than he's worth, 45% of the purses, the purse bids were going to take place next week. Canelo did the right thing by dropping the belt. Now they can negotiate a fair deal.

You know it's a truly gay era of boxing when unifying your division is a "strange obsession" and everyone wants you move 2 divisions to fight floyd and ward for pointless "glamour spectacles" because "it would get boxing on TMZ again"

Go ram your dads **** down your throat cody the cum guzzling ******. I bet you love to be spanked.

Why do you care how much boxers make? Oh right, you're a Floyd fan so you're more interested in what happens outside of the ring than inside it.

What a fighter makes is the biggest reason fights will or won't be made. That's why i care.

So they should have offered him 70/30 beforehand, see if that's a good start. Except they didnt offer anything cause they don't want that fight

You keep believing thats why Canelo gave up the belt.
