No announcement yet.
Does the fact that gggs opponents do better than expected prove he's overrated.

Originally posted by Adonis Creed View PostI like golovkin and he has dominant wins but recently Stevens, Rosado, Murray, Brook all did better than expected and their stock rose after fighting ggg.
After most Floyd, Kovalev,Manny,Ward, Rigo, Wlad fights we talk about how they dominated and outclassed a top guy in their division but gggs opponents seem to have alot of success.
The stoppage may have been strange and he was a 6-1 favorite over a WW coming in. However, IMO GGG overcoming the bad start to win deserves respect.

It means GGG opponents are underated. Brook was seen AS pushover when in reality brook is very good fighter.
Not being able to step up to the Pilate to face him is self explanatitory

The thread doesn't make too much sense.
Its like saying does maidana losing controversial decision to Floyd means Floyd is overated?
Probably, yes.

LOL. Kov lost 3-4 rounds in his last fight, Floyd lost so many rounds against the likes of ghost, maidana etc. All those fighters youve mentioned have looked **** in their careers.
And then youve GGG, knocking out people in 5 or 6 rounds for 23 fkin consecutive times and he doesnt dominate ?

How exactly did those guys do better than expected?
Stevens didn't win a single round, got dropped by the now infamous hook that spawned a million gifs, and failed to check Golovkin even though he's a power puncher.
Rosado didn't win a single round either, was bleeding from spots in his face, and had his trainer yell at his dad that "your son is gonna get killed man!!"
Murray had close decision losses against Martinez and Abraham with a beatdown by Golovkin between them, during which he went down 3 times and was TKOd.
Brook is the only one who you can say did 'better' than expected, but most people had his winning early rounds and getting KOd in the 6-8th, while he got TKOd in the 5th and broke his eye socket.
There's virtually nothing to support your claims.
