      You will probably go into another thread and argue that Charlo hasn't beaten anyone and doesn't deserve a fight.
      Good point. You know what? He's already done that and was exactly arguing this about a year ago when posters demanded that Golovkin (his most favorite fighter) give Jermall Charlo his shot.

      There's also no mention of Lomachenko or other white Eastern Euros who stay in the amateurs well into their mid/late 20s.

      Also, at age 23, Davis is a two-time world champion, who has won exactly the same belts (WBA/IBF) as Golovkin at age 36 (belts won in the ring).

      The original poster is biased as hell. Pay no mind to him.

      Green K for the guess!

        Good post. With Golovkin being a prime example.

          Fighters have longer primes as well. I mean, in general humans today are looking and feeling better in their 30s and 40s then was the case decades ago.

              A) Once You lose - it's hard to regain a "hype". Even if You improve as a fighter, that loss from 1-2 years ago will be used as excuse for other fighters not to fight you and reason to put you down.
              Guys like J-Rock, Hammer Lubin took risk - didn't work out - and now They are "hype jobs". If They kept fighting nobodies, people would be now talking about how great They are and how They could beat everyone.

                You chose to highlight the black American fighters, with Golovkin being kinda incidental. Why haven't you used the Euros who make the amateur program their home instead of fighting real men in the pros?

                I'm not gonna go back and forth with you. It is what it is.

                Cheers.

                  i agree theres no need for them to be hanging around in the amateurs for so long, and if they do then they need to throw themselves in at the deep end like loma and usyk

                    Risk vs reward gets used by the fighters, their managers, and their promoters. The $ is why most go the easy route. Easy $ and no risk will beat high risk for the same $ every single time. Most fighters would rather be fast tracked and fight the best though imo.

                      Thanks bro. I did my time over at ESB so I know how to spot contradictions and non truths, these guys stand out like sore thumbs.
