Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Nobody From 154 To 168 Will Last The Distance!

I agree. And I would rate Garcia higher just because Brook has a sht resume built off one name. 147 is too stacked and that not a knock on him. Also as soon as Crawford moves up its going to be Thurman and Crawford as the two best.

I think it will be spence personally, time will tell

[Nay_Sayer]

Who at 168 would trouble GGG? No top fighters are there besides maybe Ramirez. Hopefully we see that fight.

Badou Jack
James DeGale
Andre Dirrell
George Groves

Yep imo Montoya is another one of those writers...his stories are far too wordy anyway. He used Floyd for years to try to gain popularity.

UFC, Ronda Rousey, Connor McGregor, HBO and Top Rank have used this man's name for publicity for years.....HBO talked about him more after he left, it seems....sour g****s. If they had a brain, they would have put a muzzle on Merchant years ago.

fans need the facts, not people's opinions of the fighters

Calm down Steve, take a breath. This isn't a political discussion.

The racial bs on here is beyond ridiculous. You don't like Ward? You're a racist, don't like golovkin? Well that must be because of race. Floyd? Yep, you're racist if you don't like him. Certainly Manny too right?

This is a f'ing forum people! Get over yourselves and just realize some people just DO NOT like a fighter because of the style, or because they feel they're not that great. I think golovkin is a total hype job for instance, but I'm just as friggen white, if not more so than he is. I like lomachenko, who is an eastern European fighter too, because he's better than golovkin...PERIOD you absolutely can not dispute that, even with a foul felted loss to salido who he would stop in a second fight. Either way, 7 fights and 2 weight classes, thus imo NOT a hype job. I liked Floyd in the ring, I don't outside of it. I cannot stand Danny Garcia, but Cotto has long been a favorite fighter of mine.

The simple fact in this is that it's really annoying when posters a get butthurt and act like pu$$ies because someone tells them what they think and they don't like it, so they cry racism. Stop acting like B itches here people.

That's a fair post. But not sure why you try to take politics or social issues out of it? It would be great to only hear boxing comments here but unfortunately the world at large is not like that and this NSB goldfish bowl doesn't appear to be like that either.

Just gonna throw this out though >> if you are a white fan and you only support white fighters, does that make you racist? And does the same stay true for black fans? I reckon there are fans in here, both white and black who only support fighters of their own color. IMO that is racist. But interested in hearing other opinions.

Regards Golovkin, I'm on record saying is the most hyped fighter today. But there is a reason that the media [and it's not generally Golovkin himself] are hyping him ... 1st it creates headlines to paint monsters and secondly it's rare for any boxer to KO 22 fighters in a row and despite all the critics saying he hasn't fought anyone elite, which is true, many of those fighters were B level fighters on a world stage. Who else is KOing 22 contenders/ex-champs/prospects in a row?

I agree Loma is a better boxer than Golovkin, on current resume and the eye test, but Golovkin has been very effective until now. I think Brook is his stiffest competition to date, and that is because Brook is a lot better than most give him credit for.

he never heard of those guys

Degale, Dirrell, and Jack are definitely better opponents than Brook, Monroe, and Lemieux

Bumlovkin is trying to unify @ 160 by fighting a WELTERWEIGHT.

LMAO.

It would all be funny if it weren't so SAD.

Had it been GGG that accomplished the things mayweather did, then he would be constantly singing his praises and making him out to be the best thing since sliced bread

A credible Commentator and assessor wouldn't make it obvious his style preference and other preferences.

He clearly craps on mayweather, his style and who he fought when clearly mayweather had the best resume of the era.

makes no sense giving manny all the credit in the world, yet crap on a guy who had a better career, better skills, and was the bigger star.

he is supposed to be a business man....pro boxing+ money=prizefighting

they fight for money and when he was pretty boy Floyd, being mr. nice guy and all smiles, People like Mickey ward, Arturo Gatti, guys who couldn't carry his jock strap were on ppv shows so were other inferior fighters in the late 90s, early 2000s

As far as his affect on the welterweight division, look at it in context....in all of his fights at the weight, these fighters were all top 3 welterweights....Baldomir, Judah, Pacquaio, Ortiz, Mosley....they are all former ww champions...the other former www champions he faced there were Hatton, Berto, and Maidana


if anything he has the best welterweight resume of the last 25 years and welterweight wasn't even his best weight to campaign.

if you're going to be critical, be consistently critical...Manny at 147 spent most of the time lining up opponents coming off of loses, bad showings, tko losses and catchweights.

We're gonna have to disagree about Fischer. That's ok - we all have opinions. Good post about Mayweather. One thing I will say is that too many current boxers look at Mayweather's ethos about money and admire it yet they have done nothing to warrant demanding huge $ to fight a competitive fight and most probably never will. As fans we don't get to see the fights we want to see when they should happen.

now that you mention it, I never saw a reflection, light or glare on them.

with or without lenses, he made an azz of himself on more than one occasion.

He was a lot better in the 80s and early 90s

[kafkod]

Never met a Golovkin coward in real life.

That's because they only exist in your fantasy world.
