    Why does a win over Alvarez matter if he's a "bum"?

    According to many GGG fans the fight was a must before it got made. Now that it has been made, well... hmmm, they don't know where to go aside from in circles when discussing the situation.

    Some GGG fanatics claim their idol is over the hill now and accuse Alvarez of picking on an old man. However, not long ago they were claiming that Golovkin had taken little to no damage throughout his career and thus he could have an extremely long and legendary run due to his freshness and defensive wizardry.

    Before the fight was announced they proudly stated that Jacobs lost every way possible in their fight and that Golovkin's masterclass shined that night. Today they say that Golovkin began showing slippage in that fight, a display of decline so significant it gave Alvarez the courage to finally make the fight.

    Before the fight was made many claimed Alvarez would never fight GGG. "Oh no, GGG big drama show. Canyellow will duck like everyone else", they said. Once the contract got signed they began to claim that Alvarez didn't make the fight because he was genuinely interested, but because he was boxed in by GGG's amazing management and fans.

    When Alvarez sold "low" ppv's against lesser name opposition they claimed he was far from a star and laughed at them. When GGG didn't even manage to sell half of Saul's "low" numbers on ppv they reeled in UK ppv's, thus proving to the world that GGG was a global star.

    When Alvarez moved towards the ropes in his fights and got hit, he was exposed. When GGG got hit flush by smaller or lesser opposition with power punches it was because he allowed it to happen. GGG sacrificed his defense in order to create drama and excite the fans.

    When GGG sold low ppv's it was a disgusting realization to many that the sport was dead. When Alvarez is rumored to have sold 1 million or so PPV's against Chavez it's the worst possible thing that could have happened. Now the sport is definitely dead because the casuals will definitely turn away. High PPV numbers = death of the sport.

    For many Alvarez will get destroyed, brutalized, massacred, bludgeoned, etc... by Golovkin. No way around it. The ginger has his coming and boy oh boy, it will be bad.

    But, what significance would a win for Golovkin hold? I mean... Alvarez killed boxing by turning the causal fans away after this past Saturday, so the transfer of power would be incomplete or lacklustr. Alvarez waited for GGG to get old, so even if he wins Golovkin wouldn't have long left in the sport due to his age. Alvarez has been exposed by Trout, Lara, Cotto, Khan and Smith before, so a win over him holds little to no weight. Especially since Golovkin is light years ahead of the fraud, skillwise and in talent.

    So what does Golovkin gain from beating another bum? Alvarez is a cowardly, sport killing, fraudulent bum whom waited for the sport's most feared man to become a grandpa over night before taking him on. So again, what will Golovkin earn from this guaranteed victory?

          Thus the usage of the word "some". I understand that not all GGG fans feel this way, but those aren't the ones whom are the most heard.

            Yeah I could actually imagine, gunna stear clear of those threads til maybe a fortnight before the fight, better that way. In training at the moment for the upcoming battle with the American members for the Brook/Spence fight. Better to save your better stuff for when the battle is imminent, otherwise you wear yourself out.

              Canelo has the better resume and is proven and has been tested. GGG is the one who has to test himself on Sept 16. GGG may or not end up being Canelo's biggest test, we'll see, I say right now it's going to stay as Mayweather and Lara even after the GGG fight.

                    WAit even if golovkin hypothetically knocks out canelo Lara and Mayweather is still the biggest test? That's some dedication.
