Comparing Golovkin and Spence... Math

[Dean_Razorback]

Yeah I actually like him too. Pressure fighters are good to watch.

But he ain't done ****, he fights infrequently and he isn't getting any younger....

yes, he is gonna be 28 next month, he isn't a kid anymore, and his next fight will be most likely against a no name. at this rhythm, PBC rhythm, he'll be closer to 30 before another big fight.

GGG has been champion for 8 years, defended his title 19 times, holds 3 major belts and is still undefeated and is taking part in the clean boxing program for many years now.

Spence is champion for 6 months, holds one major belt and defended his title once and is one of the few world champions out there who is NOT enrolled in the VADA Clean Boxing Program.

Any other questions?

How many punches are there in boxing?

You really need to read a post properly before you answer to it.

I said that those are the 4 best guys Golovkin had beat through his first 23 fights, not through his entire career.

My point is that Spence is making progress at a much faster rate, which no one would be able to rationally deny.

By the age of 23 Fernando Vargas had fought Raul Marquez, Winky Wright and Felix Trinidad. Big deal. Wilfredo Benetiz was world champion at 17. Big deal. What is the point of this thread?

Comparing the career paths of the two is insane and ******ed. Spence is an american bred fighter who had the right promoters and managers from the start. He was groomed to be a star in america. NOT GGG.

Pretty much this. His promoters in Germany kept him away from all champs, wasting a good 2 years of his time. Then he sued them, which wasted another year.

Spence was lucky that Kell Brook had balls and he's American. Or rather, that's how it should be for fighters. Golovkin was unlucky to be from a small nation and going pro late.

If Golovkin went pro much earlier (like Pac for example), he could have started at WW and gotten to where he is now by the time he was ~26-30.
