It’s obvious we won’t agree on anything related to this topic , both our opinions are facts as we see them and won’t change. It’s all good though
I’m sure Golovkin like all elite fighters believes they can beat any fighter around their weight class and if their team set up a fight with anyone they think they’d win because that’s all they’ve essentially done since they were amateurs. but I’ll agree his team obviously didn’t take any extreme risks when navigating his career with the end goal a Canelo or similar figjter lotto type paydays , which eventually they got so I guess it worked although probably partly because he was the one actually ducked for years and his team wouldn’t take the risks needed to cement anything more then being the best MW in a extremely weak era when he fought in it. Probably the same way I view the Klits who for me careers lacked the big names needed for a Fighters of their stature and accomplishments
I view boxing as a business first and while top level fighters aren’t scared of no man their team if in the position almost always navigates them to try and max revenue and minimize risk. It’s a career and having fighters running through a non stop gauntlet always looking for the biggest challenge for fighters not established ( while
Great for fans ) Would
ends with them having a short career, being broke and probably physically disabled after.
For instance I never really cared that Frampton and LSC both jumped ship from 122 probably to avoid Rigo because both had better financial options and bigger fights available to them at 126 and fighting Rigo years ago would probably resulted in both losing for no $. But they have both carved out great careers and it’s Rigo whos career seems to always be stalled until he had to take a fight with Loma that he really never stood a chance of winning. I’m a fan of all 3 and get why those moves were made and don’t hold it against the fighters . there’s countless incidents like that it’s just part of the sport
Anyways have a good one man
