I suppose Hagler, Pryor, and Pep were never boxing stars. I guess those boxing historians didn't know what the hell they were talking about. Next time I want my boxing history lesson I coming straight to NSB.
Be honest Lords you mad Golovkin pulled Cotto's hoe card?Comment

Agree. He is the most feared fighter in the MW division and he didn't get that reputation by being inactive in the sport. Canelo gave up his belt to avoid him. Eubanks, Jacobs and Saunders avoid him as well. Can't argue with a perfect record and the highest knockout percentage in MW history.It's true. It's a shame he's almost 35 though.
Golden Boy and HBO can tell as many people they want Canelo is the "face of boxing" - he isn't. People know him as the ginger that got schooled by Floyd. He has a decent Mexican fanbase and that's all. He does good numbers because he fights on Mexican holidays and is Mexican. Let him fight Liam Smith on a random weekend in February, i bet his numbers won't be "face of boxing" standard. Lets face is Floyd and Manny were the only real PPV stars for a while.
People have become wise to Canelo's blatant ducking of GGG recently too which is only enhancing GGG's reputation and propelling his stardom even more.
Canelo should have taken the fight now actually. In a years time, it wouldn't surprise me if the popularity gap has almost completely closed or even tilted the other way.
No matter what you think of GGG, His style is perfect for the average viewer and they're the people you need to be a star.
Some people just enjoy hating and need to bad mouth a successful professional to fill a void in their own lackluster lives. It's true with Mayweather too. Say what you want about him but he's unbeaten in 49 professional fights. Guys a genius in the ring but people still criticize him.
BTW great John Lennon avatar. From one Beatle fan to another. Cheers.Comment
