Pirog retiring 4 years ago still has a massive impact on the division.
160 is weak for a reason, most of it's champions left the division.
It used to be Abraham, Hopkins, Taylor, Pavlik, Wright at the top. 4/5 of those fighters left 160 near the same time period. That left Pavlik and newcomer Martinez.
Pavlik went to SMW to fight Hopkins and was never the same after his schooling. He lost his passion for boxing and became an alcoholic.
Martinez slowed down considerably with age and injuries forcing him to retire.
That left Pirog looking like he was destined to takeover, then he suffers a career ending injury.
Basically, 4/5 of 160's original core moved on from 160, while the next 3 in line had their careers destroyed by injuries, age, and alcoholism. I can't make this shyt up.Comment

I watched it and didn't see that but I guess I wasn't paying enough attention.
Point is Bute got koed FOR THE COUNT, Golovkin was the first man to knock him out.Comment

Exactly.
You know you've made it to the top of the game when people discredit anything you do. Floyd was a guy that could beat fellow champions in his division but get no credit for it at all.
GGG is in that same boat now. I've always said that he won't get any credit at 160, even though he just won a close fight between 1 and 2 in the division. He also won't get any credit if he moved up to 168 and beat the best there. He's at the stage now where people will always find a way to discredit any win he has.Comment

he will honor his word? when? GGG got exposed, imagine what ward would have done to him. I can already picture the GGG fans sighing with relief that GGG didnt man up to fight ward. you guys dodged a bullet on GGG getting exposed back then.Jacobs needs 10 months to prepare for a fight, and he doesn't have a rematch clause, like Kovalev has with Ward, preventing GGG from fighting anyone else in the meantime.
Golovkin said he would give Danny a rematch, and I'm sure he'll honour this word. He seems like that kind of guy to me.Comment

That was 5 years ago.
How far back can we go with these theories? if we're going 5, can we go 8 or 9?
In that case, i think whoever is no.1 at SMW is there by default because Calzaghe left the division and then retired. Maybe whoever is no.1 at LHW might be there by default too for the same reason as Calzaghe was considered lineal champ and retired.
Let's not stop there, Lennox Lewis only retired about 14 years ago..Last edited by deathofaclown; 03-20-2017, 03:19 PM.Comment

Without doubt, by the standard of the above quote, Golovkin is a hype job, though the "incapable of being knocked out" part appears to be true.
Golovkin took a couple of flush shots, while moving in, from a known KO puncher who had 38 hours to rehydrate after making 160 and must have outweighed him by 15/20lbs - and he didn't appear to even feel them!
He also won the fight in the eyes of the judges and most neutral observers, and by the Compubox stats, and he put Jacobs down on the way.
So yeah, he doesn't have "crushing power beyond any human" or Danny wouldn't have got up! But GGG is the best fighter in the world at anywhere near his weight, and could soon be boxing's first unified, undisputed world champ in over 10 years.
So, if judged by normal human standards, GGG is definitely no hype job.
Judged by the standards ggg and his team set for himself; he can beat anybody from 154-168. Which I highly doubt to be true now. Yes he's a hype job who hyped himself up to standards that he can't meet.Comment
