    If Golovkin never had Abel or K2 would he be a more respected fighter?

    Probably a 3 Division Champ by now just edging it out at LHW? Losing like Chavez Sr. at higher weights or like Duran but so what...

    If one were to talk to Gennady having been with different coaches or promoters, would his persona be any different?

      Were it not for Abel/Loeffler, Golovkin would've likely ended up as a less-slick Dmitry Pirog; Soviet style boxer-puncher with pop.

      The issue comes down to with who he'd end up with; Abel Sanchez deliberately tore up the style that Golovkin had developed, to pantomime him in a style that Sanchez believed, and proved out to be, was more TV friendly.

      Put him with Top Rank or Lou DiBella, or pair him with a trainer like Buddy McGuirt or Freddie Roach, and you would've seen the trainers focus in on maxing out Golovkin's root Euro style, with the smile/shenanigans endearing him to the HBO audience.

          I'd respect him more, that's for sure.

                I think he would've been much better off with someone who would've had him test himself more. Has a long successful amateur career and gets lit up by a ww and a B level fighter he was supposed to easily stop.
