Most protected fighter in boxing?

[RussB23]

gotta be the ginger. drains himself to avoid middlweight and also avoids guys like andrade while fighting glass chin khan. on top of that judging is rigged at all of his fights.

[SouthPawHitman]

Well. He started boxing at a late age and he's still young. He has beaten Stiverne and he was willing to travel to Russia to fight Povetkin. Wilder is trying and I don't think it's fair to classify as protected at the moment. As a last-minute option instead of Povetkin, he even took Arreola (not that good, but good for a replacement).

Exactly,Wilder was willing to travel to Russia to fight Drago but he pissed hot. That ain't Wilders fault.

Canelo has a better resume and has fought better opposition than GGG....Do i favor him to beat him? no but the truth is the truth


as far as protected My top 4 are GGG, Wilder, Stevenson, Brook. Out of the 4 only wilder was scheduled to fight a top guy in his division but it fell through.

lets be real, how many risks has GGG, Stevenson, and brook taken since becoming champions?

at least Wilder tried an no one really calls him out like the other guys

.none of these fighters are calling out the best in their divison besides wilder who wanted povetkin, fury and company

the other guys teams are happy milking the mandatory doe, excuse...come on man.

as far as ggg he doesnt have to take risks because of built in excuses, brook too " he has a mandatory doe"...." they ducking doe"

more people are calling out GGG and brook than wilder and steveson though.....all 4 should be held accountable for their opposition....difference is, people speak on stevensons and Wilders all the time and not the other 2 fighters

canelo has fought better p4p competition, but he doesn't have a better resume if you consider weight. canelo has fought many, many welterweights moving up. his best wins are cotto, a JMW, and lara, another JMW.



and who is calling out golovkin? he's been ducked by canelo, cotto, martinez, the three biggest names in the division of the last 5 years, and it's lineal champions. canelo is literally creating his own weight class so he can fight smaller guys and duck golovkin. goldenboy doesn't want the biggest earner in boxing fighting the biggest puncher in boxing. it's the biggest fight that can be made right now, and goldenboy are going through ridiuclous hoops to keep it from happening. yet you somehow find a way to blame gennady golovkin!

why are you focusing on golovkin "fighting mandatories" without acknowledging the cause?

I only partly agree with you here. Yes, it's not Golovkin's fault that the guys at his own size won't fight him, but if he really is so special (which I think he is) then he should be able to move up in weight and pursue greatness there. Can't blame him for wanting to unify first, though, I would have done the same. If he beats Saunders, I will consider it his first true quality win. Saunders is undefeated and defeated 4 undefeated fighters in a row, including Eubank, and then defeated Andy Lee while knocking him down twice. If Golovkin unifies and then moves up, then he can't be blamed for anything. But if he doesn't move up after unifying, then his unification won't make up for his lacking resume.

the biggest fight in boxing is with a guy who is creating his own weight class to avoid a 160 lber. is going to 168 going to help golovkin getting that fight?

in time, canelo and GBP will probably fight golovkin. they're probably going to try and push things off until late 2017. maybe come up with something to push that one off, too. that fight goes out of the window if golovkin goes to 168, where there are no names.


people will then pressure him to move to 175 lbs, where he's going to lose to andre ward or sergey kovalev. maybe get knocked out by beterbiev. and then the peope who wantd him to move to 168 will call him a bum

I think Golovkin would stand a chance against DeGale and Jack, but he should stay far away from Ward. No fighter at 175lbs and below can beat Ward.

And I would never demand Golovkin to go to 175lbs, as 168lbs is the maximum limit for him, like it was for Arthur Abraham.

Kell Brook

[Redd Foxx]

The first two names that come to mind are ggg and Garcia, might as well throw Brook in there too be honest. Not trying to be biased, that's just honestly how it feels. Haye is worse, though no one is trying to protect him but himself. Joshua is protected but he's fairly new so I don't think that's not unreasonable. I would have said Wilder but he was booked to go to Russia and fight Povetkin so he's obviously not being protected.

[Chuckguy]

In order
Brook
GGG
Wilder and
Can'tNelo
