Are Golovkin fans really this delusional?

[Larry the boss]

I don't think he purposely takes shots from big punchers and against Jacobs, I don't think he did. But I do think he let off the gas at times on purpose and didn't stop Jacobs on purpose. When he knocked Jacobs down, he didn't go nearly as hard as he usually does to get the stoppage. And also it's notable that the shot he knocked him down with wasn't all that hard either.

lol....he didnt go as hard because he was fighting an actual live body

and the "knockdown" looked more like a slip or a push

[Shape up]

Funny, not one word of complaint about being counted, I don't think I've ever seen a fighter not complain if they feel it was a slip or push instead of a legit KD

"GGG went easy on him"

These GGG fans are crazy, lol. Another favorite line they like using, "Golovkin let's himself get hit", lol.

Golovkin took it easy on him. No I don't go along with that.
Golovkin let's himself get hit. Yeah Ive seen him do it.

From what I recall Golovkin's goal was always to unify so Ward at 168 wasn't a priority. If he moves up though I think we will see that fight.

yeah...it was his goal when ward became active again and called him out...before that he was trying to make fights with chavez and froch.....

what belt was brook a mando for? what belt is canelo a mando for?

id be willing to bet had golovkin agreed to fight ward in the mid to late part of of 2016, like ward asked for, that fight would have been golovkins highest career purse just like brook was

You might be right. Timing is everything. The Brook fight was unnecessary for Golovkin. Did more to elevate Brook. Canelo is and always was a money grab. The problem with Canelo was always his mouth. While Canelo was a middleweight Golovkin always welcomed a fight with him. Canelo dropped the belt fought at welterweight and started posturing later. Now he's ready. Timing.

im just saying...you were in this post talking about how golovkin dispatches of anyone who dares to get in front of him...but just remember...there was a totally feasible challenge, in ward, ready to get in front of him.....but you can select your opponents too....i just hate when people go around talking like golovkin is bulletproof or something......ward called him out after golovkin was going around puffing his chest about 168 while ward was sidelined

C'mon, you know he's fought plenty of 'live bodies'.
GGG has faced the no.2 and no.3 ranked MW's in the world behind him and is about to face the lineal champ. He's ranked no.3 P4P in front of Lomachenko and Crawford. I mean what more can the guy do?

And the KD was definitely after a punch landed.

I give him credit for the Jacobs fight but man the rest of his opponents are c+at best B-....but Jacobs followed by Canelo is a damn good year

To me Lemieux is a damn good fighter too. Before GGG Brook looked amazing. Both very close to elite. Murray, Geale and Macklin were all top 5 ranked at the time too and are also very good wins.

People forget that Martinez barely beat Murray and got hurt and dropped by him.

No one is bulletproof. Golovkin or anyone else is beatable. I'm just stating a fact that no one has been able to do it. I would love to see Ward get in there with him. Anyone that would provide some competition for this guy would be welcomed. Right now he is the best in the MW division. I do think that Golovkin reserved his time for Ward until after he cleaned out the MW division. I recall an interview he gave where he did say he "didn't want Ward
right now." (paraphrasing), so you might be right. Who knows what would happen at 168. IMO nobody at 160 beats Golovkin. That's all I'm saying.
