Trust me I know, I used to be that same way in the late 80s and then I grew up. I've given up trying to point out to people how ****** it is to only support fighters/athletes of a certain race.Comment

Honestly that's just as bad bro, domestic fighters have it considerably easier than those who are international. Think of what a cuban fighter has to go through, a former soviet fighter, hell a Pacquaio just to even reach the big stage. More recently taking a look at what Golovkin and Kovalev had to endure. Hell Golovkin was a silver olympic medalist with a nearly myth worthy amateur background and not a single major promoter or network would touch him. Rigo is one of the greatest amateur fighters ever and ended up destroyed by Caribe and still struggles. I think for me there is a soft spot in understanding and appreciating the fact someone literally had to choose between eating and the sport and chose the sport. Every now and then you get a Lomancheko who gets scooped up by Top Rank and given his due but more often than not it doesn't happen. I'm not saying it doesn't happen to us stateside too but the facilities, the nutritional information, the organizations, etc all available to help athletes are endless by comparison to some kid in deep mexico, a dominican in la vega, some kid in cuba, some western asian kid on the outskirts of Russia.Last edited by turnedup; 09-04-2017, 02:14 PM.Comment

Well said AJ, big ups to Anthony Joshua & the UK, let's go!
CANELO is coming for that Undisputed #1 Pound for Pound Crown & Throne!
Seems to me like GGG lost 50% of his fanbase when he signed to fight CANELO.
Where are all the Golovkin fans at?
No more trash talker's?
Will GGG fans buy the PPV?
GGG Nation seems shook!Comment

Agreed, i feel AJs pick may be influenced by his boy Kell getting beat by Gennady. This fight is going to be pure hell! Both guys can ****, GGG has heavier hands while Nelo has the faster ones and good pop on em as well. I feel we will see the calmer more calculated GGG as opposed to the reckless one that tried to walk through Brook. People forget GGG can box, look at the version that fought Lemiux and Stevens. Neither of them have as vast an arsenal of attack as Nelo does but if Golovkin 'power boxes' Canelo than I think he will take the W. Esp if Canelo gasses and takes breaks like he's been known to do in fights. If he does in this fight, Golovkin will not let him off the hook as others have. What i will say though is Nelo is getting better and the youth advantage he has may prove to be the difference in this one. Esp considering the level of competition he has fought and how many fight he has at his age. It's Gunna be a classic!Comment
