Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Eubank Jr. Could Be Next or DeGale at 168

[THE MACK]

Both Canelo and Eubank have recently came out ripping 3G for his resume the brook fight and other things, the irony is if both hadn't lost their balls (or pens) his resume would look that bit better. the real fans know that neither of those fights would be competitive anyway.

All his sparring partners opponents etc say it - he is the best around at 160 and nobody beating him at 160

As a big 3G fan I feel he has to go up to 168 to try find a challenge there, not sure he will find 1 though, maybe degale.

GGG is white. Most boxing fans in the US are black. Black people care way more about what race people are in 2016 than white people because race has affected them more historically. When something has affected you or your people for hundreds of years, it's hard to let go of it even when it's not directly affecting you anymore. Any time something happens, you still have it in your mind that it has to be because of race. You project.

It's a perfect storm of circumstances that allowed one of the most boring fighters in history, Floyd Mayweather, who never fought the guy the fans wanted him to fight, and was an ******* out of the ring, to become one of the most beloved fighters of all time by his fan base, while making GGG, one of the most exciting fighters you'll see, who calls out all the best in his division, and is a gentleman, one of the most hated fighters by many US fans.

It's just the way it is. I still have hope for humanity to come together, stop judging people by race either in a pro-your own race way or an anti-other race way, and stop falling for the elite's divide and conquer tactics. We can be better than this.

******est sheeit I heard in a LONG time.

Obviously you don't know any black people - and you posting this shows you have race issues. PLEASE show me a stat that says "most boxing fans in America are black" because 9 out of 10 black people I know don't follow boxing.

"Race has affected them more historically".....Race? That doesn't even make SENSE....sad you even refuse to say RACISM....I guess you don't think it exists.

As for Floyd being loved and GGG being hated....AGAIN, you assuming it's BLACK people in this thread hating GGG (not buying his PPVs) and loving Floyd (buying his PPVs). I for one hate Floyd's boxing style and love GGG's...and throughout history there have been plenty of boxers, both black and white, who were the worst outside of the ring and loved by millions.

I agree with your last statement - but the context of it seems to be pointing at blacks....when the problem in this country is people assuming it's ok to be an unarmed black person and get shot in the back by cops who don't call paramedics, but instead handcuff you on the ground and leave you to die.....as opposed to a white person driving off and almost killing a cop after repeated commands to get out of the car.

[My Low Place]

He has cleaned either the whole division or has everyone running. Two recent examples being Canelo and Eubank. Ignoring that is delusional which seems to be common around here.

I have hardly seen a world class fighter not have a fanbase, not sure what you are on about. You may have lost your plot.

WELL MOVE UP!!! QUIT WAITING ON COWARD that wouldnt fight you even if their mom made them...how simple is that??? be undisputed at 168..too hard or wat is the excuse there??

i didnt say fanbase...i'm part of the fanbase...but fan BOYS! defenders ppl who would sniff his gym shorts if it meant he didnt have to fight a ward.

Not endorsing the actions of that guy who shot those cops.....

but, a lot of - sometimes completely innocent - black people have been getting shot lately.....

I am a white New Zealander, but we get reports of all that stuff from independent outlets, TYT, etc.

did that guys actions save 30 lives next year..... ?

did he cause the police to re-evaluate their inexplicable actions ?

If so..... then good job.

If 7 innocent people had to die, in order to save 30 innocent people..... then great job, those cops should be applauded for their sacrifice.

And I am not joking at all, a life is a life.

I've been wondering about all this GGG hating.

This is a fighter that
a) came from a country few people on these threads have even heard of.
b) had an outstanding amateur career - truly elite
c) got into a ****ty contract and had his career stalled
d) has been avoided forever - in Germany and in the US (Sturm, Martinez, Cotto, Canelo etc
e) is an incredibly exciting fighter that brings people to the sport
f) is unfailingly polite to his fans and his opponents
g) fights overseas without a national fanbase that gives him a commercial advantage
h) is now one of the biggest fighters in the sport
i) is respected as an elite (top three) fighter by practically every professional fighter and coach

and yet people hate on the guy

I can only think of 4 explanations. The haters are:

1) mentally ill - as in literally sick
2) angry attention seeking trolls
3) staggeringly ignorant casuals
4) website owners stoking the fires to build audience

I'd love to run a poll to see what other people puzzled about this have to say.

I rather GGG vs Eubank Jr. that's a much better fight than GGG vs DeGale.

The only thing he had to do is live up to his own word(s): anyone from 154-168, hurting LHW in sparring -team lil g... That was FOUR YEARS ago!
He hasn't fought 1lb below or 1lb above 160 since that proclamation.

If you move up a division when you only have one belt left to unify your division, you are a moron. In fact I can't believe there are people who would even suggest this. But I guess the world is full of ******.

If DeGale can be mental strong, he can win.
