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

[CaneloMaidana]

A fighter sadly died last week, but here you are calling fighters cowards due to an agenda.

Pathetic.

Golovkin cherry picked 154 pound Ouma after he lost to Vanes. Golovkin beat him so bad he had a brain bleed. A coward like Golovkin who picks on lower level fighters is dangerous. But your racist ass supports it.

[robertzimmerman]

He has 1 fight till 35. He's never moving up because people like you baby her. Paulie is a 2 division champ, Golovkin is not. It's because he lacks courage.

Let me simplify the situation:


1. He's not a huge MW who struggles to make weight.

2. He has goals he wants to accomplish at the weight.

3. There's good fights for him at MW which can hopefully be made.

4. SMW is not a thriving division.

5. The best fighters at SMW are currently tied up.


What's the problem?


Let us hope that he can fight Jacobs, BJS and Canelo, and then let's hope he can fight DeGale and Ramirez.

Those would be very good fights for him.

Degale in the UK is one of his biggest paydays.

Golovkin just picked on a welterweight.

Bob Foster fought Muhammad Ali who outweighed him 42 pounds but Golovkin claims he's great and won't move up 8.

This is an entitled fighter being protected.

[robertzimmerman]

He fought Roy Jones you moron. Golovkin wouldn't fight prime Roy Jones Jr for 100 million. You protect Golovkin because of racism.

He fought Roy when Roy was a prospect. But he would not rematch him in 2002 at a 168 CW, when it would have been one of the biggest fights in boxing. He wasn't interested. He then took a year out before fighting Hakkar. Then in 2008, he admitted that he could have fought at LHW 6 years earlier had he have wanted to, but he didn't because he didn't want to give up his advantages.

How do you like that?


Here comes the predictable race card that you always have to resort to.

That's your default mode when for you're getting owned.

Ha!

You're a joke.


Not that I have to justify myself to you, but I'm a white Englishman, and my favourite fighter of all time is Roy Jones.

Some racist, huh?

Roy was a prospect when Hops fought him? Love Roy but that's a new twist. They were ranked #1 and #2 by the IBF and were fighting for the vacant title. And Roy was a heavy favorite to win.

A coward can't own anyone and you sir are a coward. Kell moved up 13 pounds to fight this coward. What risk has Golovkin taken you bigot?

We all knew what Roy was you moron and it was better than Jacobs who you call a risk. I'm high on Jacobs but you got him above Roy as a way to protect Golovkin.

[robertzimmerman]

Daniel Jacobs is a risk but prime Roy Jones wasn't? You're a scumbag.

I said:

"Bernard didn't take risks in his prime"

Roy was highly regarded in 1993, but his biggest win had been against Castro.


Why wouldn't Bernard fight him in 2002?


Do you want to know more about the character of Bernard Hopkins?

He then went on to fight him about 18 months later, after he'd lost to Danny Green in a single round.


What does that say to you?

You don't have to convince me Hopkins was a con artist, I saw it but for a Golovkin fan to question his courage? You see no hypocrisy?

Golovkin picks on Rosado and Monroe for a reason, he'd never fight a fighter with hype.

[CHOWWOKKA]

Zab Judah is better then GGG....


Zab Judah...

[Graz]

the only waY ggg will be remembered as great is if he cleans out 160 like hopkins did, or he moves up and wins some big fights, the type of things he is doing now isnt enough

I think this is true. I also think Golovkin thinks it's true. This is precisely why he wants to beat everyone in the MW division first. He's repeatedly said that this is his goal. Once that happens then a discussion about him moving up is warranted. If he does move up and has a continued unblemished record the boxing historians will undoubtedly be kind and call him one of the greatest fighters of all time. He's got some work to do before that.
