Hypekin promised fans the world... but delivered nothing
" anyone from 154-168 "... derp derp derp ...
his best win was a HUGE underdog, and Golovkin struggled in that fight
he will retire with no signature win, having avoided MANY world-class opponents
Broners career has been more entertaining
if Golovkin moved up in weight and fought the best - like Broner did - he would probably be viewed similarly... oh, without being the youngest 4-division champ in history, like Broner... but Golovkin stayed at home and fought scrubs
if Golovkin had fought Lara and Ward, we would not be having this discussion... we would have seen his ceiling back in 2015

But biggest hope job of last 10 years is by far Adrein Broner what a waste!

I feel like you've missed Andre Berto off this list, he had some serious money spent on him too.
At least Golovkin beat a decent fighter in Jacobs and went life and death with Canelo. Wilder, historically speaking at least will notch a draw against the lineal and ring champion in Fury and also beat a half decent fighter in Ortiz.
I feel Berto did less

Originally posted by SplitSecond View PostThis is just the casual opinion. His defense has never been bad. I’ve watched the majority or all(everything that I could find) of Duran’s career, Leonard’s, Hearns, Pacquiao, Mayweather’s, Roy Jones, Salvador Sanchez, and Gonzalez, a long with other’s I can’t remember. You lot talk like Gonzalez is Brandon Rios or Margarito. His defense, is top tier. He got ko’d because he’s an aggresive fighter and everyone loses, many by ko, ATG or not.
And I didn’t say he’s an ATG, I said Gonzalez has ATG level skills, albeit one-dimensional(never seen him fighting consistently backing up). The reason’s he wouldn’t be an ATG is a lacking resume, although very underrated and very good. But same reason a lot of highly skilled fighter’s don’t go on to be All time Greats. Discipline, consistency, manufacturing (knowing when to fight certain guys). Skillwise he is one of the greatest fighters. And he was pfp #1 because boxing was in a lull and there was literally no one better at the time. Gonzalez fought a guy 29-29 when he was pfp #1? I don’t think so..or don’t remember that.
You seem a bit emotional, lets relax a bit. Didn’t know you harbored so much hate for the guy.Last edited by Thraxox; 03-01-2020, 06:57 AM.

Just because you haven't lost. Doesn't mean your not a hypejob. Just because you've lost doesn't mean your a hyoejob. Think about that.
Put more names up in poll or else I won't vote

Wilder
I mean there is a lot of parallels, people fell in love with their power, neither fought anyone worth mentioning, both lost twice when they stepped up or got a draw then lost.
But Golovkin was at least competitive with Canelo, and he at least beat his bums in dominant fashion, how you are supposed to.
As for Wilder well the less said the better. I mean not only was heoverhyped, they overhyped another guy name of Oldtiz so they could give wilder a hype transfusionLast edited by Earl-Hickey; 03-01-2020, 07:34 AM.
