Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder: If I Wasn't Black - I'd Get More U.S. Media Respect

I disagree what you stated about GGG. Golovkin has minimalist defense (and offense). It isn't as exaggerated as someone like Billie Joe Saunder's or Canelo Alvarez's. Hence, it isn't as recognizable or noticeable by boxing fans who don't pay deeper attention beyond the superficial stuff. His ability to position his body to not get hit, or parry / block punches is only second to Vasyl Lomachenko.

Most of the criticism about Golovkin lacking defense, or being one dimensional are just false narratives and urban myths / legends. His results speak for themselves. There may be some boxers who are better than Golovkin defensively, but he is nowhere near as bad as you're making it seem like in this particular department.

In actual matter of fact, Golovkin did a better job defensively and offensively against David Lemieux and Willie Monroe Jr, than Billie Joe Saunders did against those same opponents. Difference was, Golovkin's style uses minimal effort but is far more effective whilst Billie Joe Saunder's style uses more effort but is less effective. Hence the reason why Golovkin managed to stop Lemieux and Billie Joe Saunders could not.

Golovkin's punching power is nothing special! His punching power, along with punching power in general is overrated. He has top notch offensive skills to along with his far above average defensive skills. Hence, why he stops most of his opponents.

The type of boxer you're describing isn't Golovkin but someone like Vasily Jirov. Now that's a boxer who is very limited in terms of boxing skills. There's a gulf of difference in boxing skills between Golovkin and Jirov and if you fail to recognise it, then you don't understand boxing enough. That's just the reality.

Just so you know, I also believe Joshua has better defense than Fury but it is less flashy / flamboyant / exaggerated compared to Fury's. Hence, Fury's 'skills' appear better than they actually are whilst Joshua's go unnoticed.

What's this? Really? Joshua has better defensive skills than Tyson Fury? Hahaha... You okay?

By the way, I loved and enjoyed Jirov way more than this robot you seem to be high on. Never compare him to Loma defensively. That's a boxing blasphemy.

[just the facts]

good post ^ i get labelled a racist, anti american a lot of the time but i genuinely just dont like some of this crop of american fighters, a lot of them (not all) seem to have a real sense of entitlement, maybe theyve seen all the money floyd had and assume they should be getting it too. The difference is floyd took risky fights at an early stage, built himself a persona and put the work in inside and outside of the gym. This isnt the first 'i should be a star' thread ive seen from an american fighter. Someone like spence has all the tools but hes fought once a year, same with thurman, how the **** are you going to be a star doing that? I think it was andrade moaning about he should be a bigger name even though hes basically done nothing in years.Even if youre being ducked (which spence might well be) just get yourself out there and active. And as for wilder, if youre not going to fight top 10 fighters consistently, let alone top 5, then you are never going to be a star.

In your case the labels are spot on. Remember you're the one who posted that Andre Ward was a wife beater and claimed you had the links to back it up. When pressed for those links you produced zero, Nada.

There was a thread asking who among the current fighters would be ATGs. Your post was Fury, Beterbiev, GGG, Kovalev and Loma. What do these fighters have in common?

Anything you post is should be viewed as biased garbage

Ok Deontay spoke his peace and now others want to pull the race card. How about you start with your promoter and marketing team or step up your game in the ring...

I don't like Joshua and I've made it known here. I don't like him because he's a *****. Until he fights Wilder, he is a natural born *****. And I do believe that he can take Joshua's stiff ass out in a round. There is a grain of truth to what he says, but I just wouldn't say it in an interview. Joshua's fans didn't care that the superior black man AJ said what he said, but I knew that they would jump all over Wilder in revenge for what fans have done to Joshua. Joshua is still a stiff ***** and won't fight Wilder, but slowly and surely he is being forced into a corner and the only way out is to fight Wilder,

demanding 50-50 is forcing him into a corner?

didnt know you were still around these days. that one about ATG's was me looking for a bite lol. saying that all 5 of them are top fighters and some of that list could be heading that way. crawford, spence and joshua have got that potential too.

If what he is saying is true is that really playing the race card?

It's a fact that there are a lot of Americans who would prefer to cheer for a white foreigner than for a black from their own country. He's not making that up.
