Cry about the style matchup all you want, Erislandy Lara and Demetrius Andrade were both sitting around, in need of good fights, when Golovkin and his camp cherry picked Gabriel Rosado to have his first fight at middleweight for Golovkin's paper belt (and even that didn't go smooth).
He fought a welterweight for ****'s sake (and even that didn't go smooth).
Hindsight will be what it is, but Golovkin is finally being shown for the fighter that he and his camp tried to hide for as long as they did; you put him in with a fighter with any kind of boxing craft and some confidence and Golovkin ends up looking ordinary.
How do folks justify the fact that he's defended his interim belt all of 17 times, yet you can only point to maybe 3 of those defenses where he was in with a middleweight worth fighting?
