    So whatever Hunter says is fact?

    As I said, people have different opinion of what a hype job is. Under his opinion of what a hype job is Golovkin isn't.

    We don't know what Hunter believes makes a fighter an hype job or not.

    Is that too hard to understand for you?

      I do not understand this, how are these so called boxing experts so ignorant? Yes, Canelo can weigh whatever he wants but he is shorter than GGG, he will have shorter legs and arms and probably smaller fists too. That counts as part of size. Canelo can weigh whatever he wants but GGG is a better physical example of a middleweight. Simple.

        Ok OK. IF Canelo isnt smaller than GGG than GGG aint smaller than Ward.

        SO whats GGGs excuse for backing away from a real challenge? Besides the Canelo "MONEY" fight? I mean afterall GGG fans spent years telling Floyd and others that money doesnt matter..."we wanna see the best fight the best for legacy and honor"....-sigh-

          I think Hunter knows pretty well what a hype job means. I think he's smart enough and been in the business long enough to have a good definition of what a hype job is.

            Canelo is not smaller than Golovkin because he's heavier than Golovkin.

            Golovkin is not heavier than Ward. In fact, he's almost 20 pounds lighter.

                LOL. I love how you talk about the here and now. Yes Ward is LHW now. When Ward contacted k2 in late 2015 how many fights did Ward have north of 168?

                  When talking about hype it depends on what you're talking about. Is Golovkin a good fighter, yes. Is he anywhere near as good as his fans and HBO etc hype him up to be? No.

                  Most of the media say he's the best Middleweight in the world and in the top 10 P4P. Those are pretty self evident. How is that hype.

                    Because most put him in the top 3 p4p and he doesnt have anything on the resume to back that up. Hes clearly the best MW in the world but the best MW in the world is about to go into his career "defining" fight against a guy with no wins against MWs.

                    Add in the fact that Miguel Cotto blasted out a top 10 MW easily and it goes to show you how weak that division really is. Cotto has no business in with MWs. Cotto is a prime career WW who couldnt cut weight at the end of his career. Any decent fighter, who is a real MW, should be able to take him out.

                      Not too sure about size, but Golovkin is overhyped by HBO. That doesn't mean he isn't good.
