What exactly is it about GGG that certain boxing fans don't like?

This is correct tbh...

GGG hasnt got the resume or the current talent pool in his division to be called a p4p top 5 or an ATG.

doesnt matter the reasons or whos to blame, thats just the facts.

It amuses me how some GGG fans are asking his haters to be objective and rational. And even more amusing when said haters try to rationalize their attitude and come up with something like "undeserved hype" but then slip and call him "Bumlovkin" or "triple flop". They just can't help themselves. This hate is irrational and asking them to explain it is naive. If they will be honest, they'll answer "because f**k you, that's why" )))
The closest one is the guy who said they don't want Russians to dominate. Even though GGG isn't one, he is somehow related through his father. This is enough for them to hate. Don't try to convince that to watch with their eyes open. This is a futile exercise...

What exactly is it about GGG that certain boxing fans don't like?

Is it that he is clean cut, handsome and has no tatoos?
Does it bother some people that a White man is the face of boxing?
Is it because he doesn't engage in trash talk?
Or are people just going to say it's his resume?

What is there not to like? We are very lucky to be in this era to witness a supreme boxer like GGG.

Calling another man handsome is pretty gay. GGG is biracial with part Asian and not a "white man" to me. GGG is not the face of boxing... he's the hype job of boxing.

I don't like his unwarranted hype like he is some p4p #1 fighter, atg, and hof worthy guy when he hasn't beaten anyone remotely worthy of giving him that praise. He has the worst bunboy fans that use double standards. They talk **** on proven fighters but praise a bum beater because of knockouts. His team turns down offers but accuse everyone of ducking. His English is terrible and the drama show shtick is dumb.

I dont know if youre including me in that rhetoric or example of a GGG hater?

I have always said i enjoy watching him fight. He has a high technical ability and punches like a truck which makes for excitement.

He is however, a big a-level fish in a limited b-level mw pond. he hasnt fought any fighter so far above B-level and thus because of this.. his resume does not permit him to be placed in a current p4p top 5 nor does it warrant him being anywhere near an ATG list.

That will change in the event of a canelo win, a move up to 168 etc, but right now.. the GGG "haters" are for the most part, just people like me who can appreciate him but are just sick to death on the never ending smoke being blown up his arse by fans who think he is the second coming of christ based on what he has done up to now.

I'm secure with my sexuality so it's ok not gay.

Isn't Alvarez white? Or you don't like Alvarez because he lost to Floyd?
Or you don't like Ward because he didn't fight home fries at 164?

GGG himself seems like PURE CLASS and a Great Guy but he does have some fans...well I shouldn't even call them fans many are just very ignorant casuals who decided to make GGG the face of their Ignorant Agenda

But that can be said about Ward, and many of the current fighters who get this unwarranted HATE from people NOT because of what they did because what their So Called Fans do! Sadly it is many within the Boxing Media who does the same which is TRULY PATHETIC!

I don't like Canelo because he just handed over his belt to GGG.

No, I didn't see you calling him any derogatory names. Just quoted you because you were commenting on the issue. I myself don't care about any "ATG, top 10, p4p". Too subjective. But I like what I see when he is fighting...

I don't like Canelo because he just handed over his belt to GGG.

Yeah but he looks more white than Golovkin so by your standards he is perfectly fine. Carlos Cuadras looks more white than Golovkin. Robert Redford and the Terminator or T-1000 look more white than Golovkin and they all have had bigger paydays than GGG too.

Can't you see why race baiting for Golovkin and him being criticized because "he's white" doesn't work?
