Hopkins says you dont become great off of sympathy, is GGG great middleweight?

[therealpugilist]

I see people bring up the Hopkins age and GGG age but what they fail to acknowledge is GGG doesn't have the style built for longevity in the sport. Hopkins style was a defensive style based off hit and not get hit. GGG isn't that type of fighter

style, height and reach didnt stop **** tiger from winning the titles at 160 and 175

he is short, shorter reach and didnt have GGGs power......he just had bigger cajones

Jake Lamotta and Mickey Walker didnt have the style or size either....they just took the risks....hell Walker started at wetlerweight and fought and beat world champions all the way up to heavyweight

oh why dont you stfu you bucktooth prick, you are a sad bitter old man, why does golovkin make you, roy jones, the mayweathers, ward all so insecure?. And what do you know about greatness 'bernard', only thing you were great at was BORING people

[monkeyboy]

is golovkin a great middleweight? of course not. doesn't have the resume, and i wouldn't pick him over the great MW, either. is he the most avoided boxer in teh sport, the best MW on the planet, and on any decent p4p list?
yes

give objectivity a try.

The person I responded to was saying GGG is only 34 while Hopkins was 40 when moved up so GGG has plenty of time. My point is he doesn't have time because his style isn't suited for longevity. I can't see him fighting and being effective at 40 with his style

awwwwwww, poor baby mad an all time great and proven fighter picking on him favorite fighter




nothing to be insecure about.....Ward, Mayweather, Jones are proven fighters....2 of them are all time greats, and ward may get their considering he actually takes risks


you and the media pumping GGG up dont expect him to do things or take risks these fighters took so you look like hypocrites

why wont jones move up and fight a heavyweight? he did that....people talked about him moving up since the 90s


Floyd....why dont you fight Canelo, fight manny.....he did and won

Ward....why dont you move up and fight kovalev.....he will, fights signed

also these guys have won titles and lineal championships, ring titles too.....can GGG say the same? no...he doesnt take the risks they do

deal with it

me either

its piss or get of the pot time


take some risks or just retire and let the young guns settle 160-168

at least he may be fighting jacobs next to solidify claims as the best middleweight

Hopkins wants to keep GGG far away from Canelo. If you can't see that you're dumb.

if you can't see K2 is keeping GGG far away from risks until cashing in with canelo....then you are dumb


ever since Martinez lost the title, and its been with Cotto or Canelo, GGG has been fed a canned food diet.

trashes canelo for fighting khan then does the same thing.


Hopefully he has to fight Jacobs because if he didnt it wouldve been another Wade, Odama, Rubio level guy

getting used to the CANS.

[Canelo and GGG]

Maybe GGG dont want to be great if he dont wont to move up leave him alone ,GGG is not saying his ATG (its his fan),GGG is close to the age when fighters look for cash out and he want to do that.
