      Won't happen. He is a hardcore sensation. Nothing more nothing less. And at 34 he's never had a truly mega fight. So let's be real. In 2 more years, Golovkin may not even be boxing.

        Dunno, he's well beyond a hardcore sensation right now. Ahead is Canelo, maybe PAC, who else? And Canelo is the butt of jokes because of his Ggg duck now.

        But whether Ggg is #1or 3, it's way beyond what anyone could have expected when he was first given a chance by Hbo 4 years back. And he just keeps gain ground on the also rans.

          Yup he is on the way to be the number one attraction. I know there is a growing group of haters from some corners in America who want him to fail but most real boxing fans are behind him and delighted to see a big start who delivers exciting fights and knockouts for the fans. fans were on a high after the Brook fight and eager to see both guys again. It's great to see a guy who is slowly getting there despite not having the benefit any ethnic/nationalistic backing

            I'm not insulting him I'm just saying the facts
            Fair enough then. I'm happy with that.

            I'm very over the whole 'ticket sales determine your worth as a fighter' thing. That way means that Rigondeaux and Ward are even ****tier fighters cause They sell even less. I personally don't love their styles but I would much rather they made huge sales and great money. They are great fighters just with less 'casual' pleasing styles.

              Be honest Lords you mad Golovkin pulled Cotto's hoe card?
              You're confused here, those fighters you named manned up and fought quality opposition something g string has yet to do

                I think you guys are a bit delusional about his star power. But hey, what do I know. Boxing has no stars except Canelo. And Golovkin will never be in that conversation, imo. He not even as popular as Roy Jones was at his peak.
