Why criticism of Golovkin isn't racist.

Where is Lara on that list?

"If this doesn't get me banned" lol all you do is troll on this site and call people "Racist cowards" 24/7, which is specifically against the forum rules. You are the exact definition of what Doug Fisher was talking about.

And that's great you included Bernard Hopkins on there. He moved up at age 40 after ruling the middleweight division, unifying all the middleweight belts after years of struggling to get the big names, EXACTLY LIKE GOLOVKIN.

Ha name a risk golovkin took you coward.

Well Mayweather got all the hate in the world for fighting someone 2 weight classes under him. He still gets flack for that and it was 7 years ago and he is retired, so it is perfectly acceptable to throw stones at GGG for doing the same.

Yeah and Marquez is great and even then it was considered a joke fight.

I know the Smith fight wasn't on the table and won't be for some time.

Golovkin had to fight a mandatory. Even if he moved up for a couple of fights, it wouldn't be permanent, he'd move down again.

I don't mind those fights fwiw. The DeGale fight in particular will be a good one.

Golovkin could have fought Degale but instead picked on a welter.

If Golovkin was black he'd be getting exactly the same criticism. Always talking about moving up and that he'll fight anybody and then chooses to fight weak opposition. You all know he would.

Jermall Charlo was getting it this week and he's 8 years younger, imagine a 34 year old fraud.

You have any proof of that? Or just talking out your ass. Which black fighter with a weak ass resume have I claimed is a top 5 pfp fighter and greatest mw ever?

If GGG were Black the criticism would come from the media,not just message boards.

I have yet to see ONE negative article about Golovkin.

If he were Black HBO would be hating on him like they did Hopkins and Floyd.

No way could a Brother have gotten away with that bi.tch move.

Shumenov is Kazakh and moved up actually.

Ring did an article saying golovkin critics were racists for saying he should move up, this is a reply to that.

Oh haha well it might be a little subtly racist. Mayweather and many others on his side in a weird way seem to be offended by Golovkin's presence at 160. They don't have any respect for him which I don't get at all. It's like saying Rigo is **** because he doesn't have an extensive professional career and that his amateur achievements are meaningless.
We've seen him fight though and know that isn't true. The same goes for Golovkin. The amount of hate for him is irrational. But I don't think it's purely racist, just that it mostly stems from the fighters around his division taking shots at him through the press. Even with taking shots, they never have any intentions of fighting him just discrediting.

Yeah you see how they treat broner who is 7 years younger.

If GGG had one of Broner's balls he'd be at 175 kicking asses,or at least trying.
