How you compare to Pac's questions after Floyd?

For example:

Kellerman: What was Jacobs able to do to make you go 12 rounds...?

Golovkin: Respect..Thanks to team...support...

Kellerman: Again, same question. What was he able to do...?

Golovkin: He's my favorite fighter....I can't destroy him.. He's very clean..very good..he's a very good fighter..

Kellerman: You said that going into the fight...

Golovkin: Yes after the 2nd round...I respect him..I need boxing..I need decision...

Kellerman: Did you respect him too much? Did you not throw too much?

Golovkin: Max this is sport. I'm boxer.. I'm not killer. This is boxing..

Kellerman: Did you think going into the 12th round..

Golovkin: Max this is boxing. I need decision fight. Right now...I am ready for big drama show?

Kellerman: blah blah blah... (I'd imagine Max is done with Golovkin for future notice tbh...)

Golovkin: ...I need a very good quality fight...12 rounds...

Kellerman: Alvarez...

Golovkin: I am an animal for this fight...

So apparently Golovkin feels to be an animal for Alvarez, but admits his capacity for Jacobs, that he's not a killer?

Back to Kellerman regarding tangible examples in the ring. These are words Golovkin could've used... Who knows what his manager Oleg was translating or how they prepare for questions with every single interview conducted.. and you wonder how he's protected...

Phrases Golovkin could use:

''Max....

he have good jab..
hard to hit..
he very strong...
you know my punches..no hurt him..
you know Max, if he stay in one place, I can hit him

One of the greatest excuses ever. If he stands still i can hit him.

I noticed that, I think he just did not understand what Max was asking. Max asked him twice, did you think who ever won the 12th round would win the fight. Both times GGG answered "this is boxing max". His answers were mostly "this is boxing" no matter what, even if that answer didn't make sense for the question being asked.

He didn't want to answer the question so acted like he didn't understand imo.

apparently Golovkin is excused as the only boxer to only speak in English whereas other bilingual (yet limited in English) occassionally still speak in their native language in interviews. This is nothing new in post ring interviews for Championship fights. How come Loma speaks in Russian? Why doesn't HBO just settle for limited vocabulary and roll with it as well since explanations won't make a difference?

He thought Max was saying "the match went for 12 rounds", which is why he kept saying "this is boxing" since he won through points. It's just his poor English coming through as always.

watch the post fight vs stevens. max asks him "what was your plan coming into this fight"? and his reply was something like "i respect box, i respect everybody, hey man, going to home, tell your parents just hi, i'll come back, thank you."

dude can't speak english for ****.

Plus hes got that other dude rabbiting away in his ear the whole time, whats that about?

**R-C** · 03-20-2017, 09:11 AM

C'mon, this is boxing.... GGG is nothing, no respect to boxing. he's a business man. this is my life.

**bigdunny1** · 03-20-2017, 09:13 AM

Yeah GGG is not an intelligent fighter one dimensional unable to adapt on the fly. So Jacobs showed him something he wasn't prepared for, took away his power with boxing skills, he was confused couldn't adapt. So after the fight you expect him to have answers when he didn't in the ring? That's why you getting these foolish responses from a fighter who still doesn't understand what was happening. He's a low IQ fighter.
