Is Ggg just going to be HBO hype job like Kovalev and Roman?

[Willy Wanker]

No.

GGG is clearly levels above Roman and Kovalev, and they're both good fighters themselves.

[Dontbeahater]

My pt is Roman was ranked 1 p4p and I remember the entire bandwagon in espn/hbo/forums saying he's that good. They trying to push narrative he's second coming of Manny but once he fought people his size and skill, gets his face rearranged then put to sleep.

Kovalev was ranked p4p #2 or 3 behind Loma and Roman, and ward breaks him down and then gets put to sleep in the next fight. Most likely will lose the rematch imo

Ggg was suppose to be the best of his generation supposedly as good as Floyd and Manny (even though he fought in 1 weight class but that's another issue) then regardless if you agree with the decision Canelo rearranges his face. Now the next step is being stopped or ko.

See the pattern. The hype job is that they were hyped to be the better than good, they were suppose to be the best of their generation. Ggg can still redeem himself if he turns it up but that risk also puts him in the same pattern as other HBO/espn spin/hype jobs.

Case in pt
Ggg was top 24 of out 25 best boxers in the past 25 years.

ESPN's take: A bit early to write GGG's history, but he has the potential to go down as an all-time great middleweight. Golovkin still has a long way to go and a possible match with Canelo Alvarez might provide more evidence of Golovkin's true abilities. -- Wally Matthews

Roman was # 20
ESPN's take: A native of Nicaragua, "Chocolatito" has followed in the footsteps of late countryman and mentor Alexis Arguello as a feared puncher. The three-division champion is also among the most well-rounded and complete fighters in boxing today, with an almost artistic beauty to the way he attacks. -- Brian Campbell

None of them were hype jobs and ggg still hasn’t lost.

Just checked Boxrec. There's an L on GGG's record.

[Canelo and GGG]

Kovalev and Roman are not hypejobs wtf man .

[Canelo and GGG]

Just checked Boxrec. There's an L on GGG's record.

haha man let him go

[Bjl12]

Being honest, doesn't it seem like ggg is going in the Roman and kov direction where he will get stopped flat out. He's 1 more lose away from being a complete let down. Right now fringe top 15 p4p. So still a top 25 atg as Dan Rafael would have you believe?

Top 25 ATG of what lol

There are 25 fighters in the past 2-3 years that are better than Gennady lol

[chrisJS]

Casual boxing fans write fighters off after losses even if they are debatable “losses”.

OP is a typical casual that had never heard of Chocolatito until HBO showcases him and decided to dislike him because people like him.

[Dontbeahater]

Lol Roman was cleaning up no competition (sounds like ggg and kov?) . The second he moved up to a busier weight class and had real competition, he got smoked. I would have loved to see him and rigo fight but rigo moved up for Loma and got smoked. Roman was all time hype. Never seen such a hype job when they were saying he can punch so many combinations while being defensively responsible. Guess not...

Ranked 20 best fighter of the last 25 years! Guess not

[A.K]

Just checked Boxrec. There's an L on GGG's record.

Because boxing is a straight edge sport the right guy always wins right

[boliodogs]

Don't be a hater,Don'tbeahater. If GGG is no good then either is Canlelo FFS. He held Canelo to a home town draw and a home town split D in Canelo loving Vegas. Most viewers think he won both fights. Why can't he still be considered an all time great? Sugar Ray Robinson had losses on his record long before he was 36 and so did Hagler and both lost to welterweights moving up. Nobody has ever even hurt him much or knocked him down so how the hell is he close to being stopped????????
