    can anyone tell me where GGG was in Sergio Martinez was the man at 160?

    i keep hearing how great of an amateur he was, okay cool. Why didnt they throw him in at the deep end like they did Lomachenko and Rigondeux which imo, might be the only amateurs better than GGG.

    you can name me better amateur if you want. I was a fan back then, ive had a few crap years where i havent been watching as many fights as i could.

    But GGG is nearly 35. that means in 2010, when Sergio was beating the likes, and KO'd the likes of Paul Williams, and never ducked anyone at 154, and 160...

    GGG was 27 years old, what was he doing? i wont look at he's boxrec, someone can tell me here.

    I keep reading how good of a amateur he was, Lomo fights a champion in his first fight, Rigondeaux fights donaire who probs outweighed him 15 pounds fight night and breaks his face.

    What was GGG doing then? Why didnt he fight anyone decent? im sure he could of got in with someone decent between 2008 and 2013.

    he was 25+ and had boxed all his life.

    He was in a bad promotional situation. Rigondeaux and Lomachenko were fortunate enough to sign with a power player that could fast track their careers to world title fights.

            He came to America in 2012 a week (or 2) before the Martinez-Chavez fight.

            The fight could've happened 2013 after the Chavez fight. Martinez wanted to do the homecoming against Murray (who he should've lost to).

              so basically he signed a contract with a crap promotional company?

              thing is, seems like the real people in boxing knew who GGG was cause of olympics, amateurs, kovalev knew him.

              im not sure thats good enough though, oh promotion problems, he was still fighting seems like, he has 35 fights. and why didnt a good promotional company sign him up? he was known by real boxing money makers and he seems to be making money now. why not 2010 though. who was he with?
