LOL this cracks me up. Who out there is facing tough comp like GGG has done? Who is he going to face. The same could be said for Spence, Crawford, Davis, on and on.
Difference is they don't get the hype pushed on them like Triple L has. Triple L is HIGHLY overrated.
Golovkin was stuck in a promoter hellhole up until 2010. For years his demands to fight Felix Sturm and Sebastian Zbik were always rejected. Is it Golovkin's fault he did not grow up in a privileged professional boxing system such as America? No. Do you realize his first HBO debut fight was supposed to be against Dmitry Pirog in 2012? The man was effectively starting his newly-revived boxing career at the age of 30 years old, in a country he hardly spoke the language of. The only thing he had was people guiding him, and unfortunately, I don't believe they managed him the best. He already mentioned he was willing to face Ward sometime back in 2013? Hell, back then even Ward was talking about it, but then he went on a legal dispute layoff.
Andre Ward prior to Rosado fight (January 2013):
Let's not even go into the whole scenario knowing that Golovkin barely learned English at this time, and the fact that his team was managing his career. How many foreign boxers do you think read up and study up boxing religiously like us folks do? He probably fights whoever his team makes sounds like the best options, under their advising. Do you really believe that Golovkin knew of most of his opponents prior to his team saying, "we have these options"? He's not American, he's not as fortunate as all these boxers who have a system and country behind their back, who they also can speak the language of and follow easily enough.
GGG is 36 years old, and fighting his best competition of his career at an age where most boxers are far gone and/or retired. Canelo is also better than anything those three have faced, and an elite P4P fighter. He fought him two times, at the age of 35 and 36, with controversial and close outcomes regardless.
Probably the same can be said for Jacobs. Jacobs has beaten Derevyanchenko, Quillin, and Sulecki... that's not bad at all. Hell, he also stopped Caleb Truax who went on and beat James DeGale. Quit trying to downplay Jacobs, he's clearly elite as well.
You talking a whole lot of excuses for Triple L....LMMFAO!
No trainer is going to give back what time has taken away. Of course he'll look better against lesser opposition but what he needs against better opponents has already been diminished. Why do you think athletes are either retired or look a shell of their former selves at his age? It's natural for the body to slow down. It was noticeable back in 2016 and has only gotten worse. ****, Hopkins noticed it (go figure). What he had is gone. It's not the competition that made him look slower. He was already on the slide. The two just so happened to meet at the same time.
In 2016 he fought Wad & brook (a welterweight). You dudes SUCK at lying....LMMFAO!
No not at all. We as boxing fans need to accept the fact that as one reaches late 30's they are no longer in their prime. Roy jones jr was getting koed by bums in his late 30's. GGG is getting robbed by the number 2 guy 10 years his junior.
Triple L was NEVER that good to begin with. Jacobs & Nelo beat him....
Guy has a draw and a one/two round difference defeat against what the same people consider among boxing's current best and he's a bum or a hypejob. That shhhh makes no sense. I could see an argument if he got beaten pillar to post for 12 rounds or had an 8-4 or 9-3 loss but 115 to 113? Guy even at his age is still good but he should retire. Also pretty hilarious that I was up here when the Jacobs fight was announced and said Jacobs wouldn't be a walk in the park of a fight but the same haters are on here now acting like they weren't calling Jacobs a soft pick and now suddenly they are Jacobs fans or Jacobs won. That agenda is transparent AF.
No your transparent AF. I told you before Jacobs Triple L was a hype job & you didn't want to listen to me. Now look at him....LMMFAO!
When it comes to GGG you are anything but fair minded and neutral. You went to the trouble of putting his face on Broner's body as Broner was being helped back to his dressing room after his loss to Maidana. You have strong bias against GGG. He could and should have dominant wins over Martinez, Saunders, Eubanks and Cotto years ago when he was younger and better but they all flat refused to fight him at that time. He didn't dominated Jacobs or Canelo because he is getting old and they are excellent champions. Don't say Brook gave him any trouble because he didn't. Brook may have edged the first two rounds and then GGG beat the hell out of him. Mayweather didn't dominated everybody he fought either. Most viewers thought Castillo beat him. No middleweight fighting today has as many good wins as GGG at middleweight in spite of him being avoided so much.
Triple L is probably one of the worst hype jobs of all time.
