Why criticism of Golovkin isn't racist.

[Larry the boss]

The easiest way to kill this argument is, Kovalev doesn't get the same criticism. That's all that needs to be understood.

sad thing is some of the fans who support GGG are now trying to discredit Kovalev

Hes 35 years old and hasnt done chit. Hes fighting a B level welterweight. He *****es that nobody wants to fight him, claims he will fight at 154-168 and then when Canelo, Lara and Ward want to fight him at those weights he makes excuses. All 3 of those are way bigger names than anything he has on his resume. He complains but he doesnt DO anything to make the fights. Everyone else did it. Hopkins went to 156 to get Oscar. PBF bought out of his contract with arum, went to 154 and gave in to everything, gloves, purse ect for the oscar fight, he won and ended up being the guy who can call the shots.

Yeah canelo ducked him at 160, but if GGG wants it, he should call him out on it and go below 160... since he said he would fight at 154. Even canelo has taken high risk, low reward fights with trout and lara.

I don't think it's "racist" to criticize GGG for a poor resume. However, the OP makes a racial argument that I can't get down with. Why do we have to categorize black and white fighters separately? Why is Andre Ward on the list when he's half-white?

This doesn't need to be racial at all. The simpletons that repeatedly accuse me of racism against GGG are just fanboys who can't find any other way to defend their fighter from criticism.

Good post man.

All Black fighters who moved up, we are simply asking him to do what all other non heavys do but he's scared.

If no Black fighter had moved up then it would be racist.

If you feel so pationate about fighters moving up, then you must really want canelo to move up and face ggg.

Goes both ways...like how once the ward fight was signed, some posters started heaping praise on kovalev. I find kovalev kinda ordinary...but he's one of the best out there right now.

[TheCell8]

It's not racist, but I wish people would start calling out Rigondeaux for doing the same thing...

[LoadedWraps]

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.

[Madison Boxing]

no it isnt justified, the guy is a 160 fighter, if you make middleweight this guy will fight you. hes never ducked anyone in his weight class.

[Godsfly]

i like kovalov, lamechenko, Beterbiev, even postol.

all white fighters.........and i have always winged for them. especially lamechenko.

kovalov doesn't get the same heat from me because he's done great in his career thus far. campillo, went to cleverlys back yard to knock him out. hopkins. pascal. the guy has paid his dues. how can i hate on that? he's a terrific fighter.......resume denounces all of that. **** all that. respect is respect. i even didn't flame him for his racist comments because we all say ****** ****.

golovkins best win is rasado or Lemieux. but yet he's p4p number 3? also he's fighting a WELTERWEIGHT as his toughest challenge to date at the age of 34. to point this out & be deemed as racist is dumb.......white posters who say this is racist are insecure privileged ret@rds.
