Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr: Golovkin Fights Small Men, Ward Spanks His Ass!

[Shadoww702]

do you see me calling gennady golovkin a great fighter?

or do you see me telling you the truth and talking about history [hopkins record,] and contemporary reality [golovkin's record?]


golovkin's current run ahs been good enough to get him on any decent p4p list. that's all i claim, and that's a reality disputed by fanboys only. not once will any of you find me calling gennady golovkin a great fighter. i think he was a geat amateur. ithink he has great talent. being a great pro fighter and having great talent are different things. being a great amateur and a great pro are different things.

this straw man crap has got to stop if you want me to take you all seriously.

You pretty much summed up how I feel about GGG. He passes the eye test. But he won't bend over for nobody and he won't go out of his way to be the greatest. And that works for him.

Canelo ***ed up by saying MexiCANS dont F around.

Just like GGG looks ****** for saying anyone from 154-168. He also didn't look too bright blasting Khanelo fight and then fighting Brook. Even you have to agree that was some dumb sht to say.

The other three by their own admission outgrew the divisions they were in.Oscar later made the mistake of trying Welterweight again and looked like a dead man in the Pac fight.Btw like you said he dragged Hopkins down 4lbs ,the same thing GGG gets stick for trying to get Ward to do.Now remember when Hopkins fought Oscar he had just come off what everyone thought was a loss to Sturm,he was past it clearly.Also Hopkins himself had weighed in voluntarily at 157 and said he felt he could make 154 no sweat.But as for say Floyd ,he took Canelo down a couple of pounds.,Andre took Dawson down a whole division,despite Dawson asking for a reasonable 170.But all that aside.People always push for an advantage and that's understandable.But Canelos 154 adventure with Smith shows he's not interested in tough fights there either.He doesn't want Andrade ,the Charlos,he picked Smith.It's not going to matter what division its in ,he can make money without a real title or opponent very well,at least for the time being.

Floyd went up to 154 for Oscar, and came back to dominate 147. Went back up to 154 for Cotto, and came back down to dominate 147. Went back up to 152 to fight Canelo, and came back to dominate 147. Oscar took Sturm's MW title, lost it to B-Hop, came back to 154 to beat Mayorga! Canelo has beaten Trout, Angulo, Lara, Kirkland, and Cotto at 154/155! He's only 25! GGG needs to do more to go from "good" to "great."

It's funny,I was thinking today about the stuff fighters and their teams come out with.I remember Hopkins saying he wanted to fight both Mayweather and David Haye,Calzaghe saying he could beat Wlad klitschko ,even recently Eubank Jnr saying he would spot James Regale the weight and beat him too.Exaggerated outlandish pronouncements are the name of the game in boxing,no reason to think they are anything more than hype.Why do people cling to then like their a promise of marriage?

Ward is way bigger than Golovkin. But "spank", no. "Outpoint in a boring clutch fest", probably.

I'd love to see him in bigger better fights.The Jacobs fight seems like it should be a classic but I'd be disappointed if it ended up the highlight of his career,but I don't see a reason to lose faith just yet.When and if he steps up Degale would be a good fight maybe others will emerge too.I don't think the Canelo fight will ever happen to be honest.Ward might be out of reach.Even of he's still at middle when some of the better guys from 154 move up we could have some good tests.Looking back at the time Oscar and Trinidad were around it now seems like a golden age when big fights were largely made at the right times.And people born in the times of Leonard Hearns didn't know how lucky they were.

I should add that as for Canelo ,I think that yes he is still young but his best opponents on his resume are Lara and Cotto.Cotto was smaller and had been crushed by Pac and Margarito ,and I though Lara beat him although debatable.I think he needs a big fight too and the likes of Smith is a joke for a star.Dropping the title damaged him ,the owness is on a champion to defend.Now it seems he's going back to middleweight.Which makes dropping the title to just go fight Smith look silly.

But within 5 years of being a pro he fought Roy Jones Jr. Please don't try and act like Lemuix, Murray, or even Brook is that GOOD/GREAT.

And he lost. I'm pretty sure GGG could have done that too.

If RJJ was fighting at MW today, I'm sure GGG wouldn't hesitate fight him. With random pre-fight PED testing, he might even have beaten him.

[kafkod]

It makes PERFECT sense when your "Amatuer" career is fighting at Middleweight and your first fight is against a LHW. He was the Prison MW Champion. And all his prison fights were at MW.

[CaneloMaidana]

And he lost. I'm pretty sure GGG could have done that too.

Golovkin doesn't have courage to fight prime Roy Jones.

[Joe Beamish]

Canelo doesn't have courage to fight prime Golovkin.

Fixed your post brah
