Does the fact that gggs opponents do better than expected prove he's overrated.

[HeroBando]

Golovkin is overrated that because he isn't as much of a complete fighters as the majority of P4P entrants and he'll never be a big draw.

Most of the p4p guys are lesser draws, and hardly any of them are complete. Ward just failed to put away a smw scrub, offense lacking. Unfortunately fans like offense best, in boxing. Doesn't always win, but for an offensive beast like Ggg the challenges are 2 divisions up

No, the thing is with hype comes expectations. GGG isn't some type of elusive boxer, he would get hit and as soon as he gets it, then it's a moral victory for his opponents and the fans who wants to be proven right that GGG can be beaten by a slick boxer.

Saturday was an example of fans being influenced.

People expected Brook to get steamrolled from the get go. But then he flashes some nice moments here and there and people were mesmerized by it. If you go back and watch it again -- Golovkin, even while sloppy and impatient, continued to pound on Brook from start to finish. In between, sure, Brook had some really nice, impressive, eye opening moments. But anybody scoring it 3-1 or 4-0 by that point was totally influenced by the electric crowd and the fact that here and there, Brook was actually unexpectedly having some genuine success. But it was success in spots. Not sustained success. People act as if he was dominant and boxing circles around Golovkin. That **** is laughable.

And damn, have we forgotten that GGG had Brook in dire straits barely midway through the opening round? Kell was in some deep **** early, man. But yeah major credit to him because he responded beautifully. I give him a lot of credit.

But then the fifth round...jeezus. Brook was totally and utterly demolished in that round. That **** was emphatic. Brook was getting tee'd off on and obviously his team knew that they had to get him out of there before he was wrecked into an oblivion that he might not ever fully recover from.

That's one way of looking at it. Another would be that his caliber of opponents were being underestimated. Besides, I don't see very many people applauding GGG for his slick defensive prowess. AFAIK, he's recognized by most to be a devastating puncher who's always looking for the finish.

[TRTboy]

The **** you talking about? He has KO'ed/destroyed his last 23 opponents. WTF?
