Is Gennady "GGG" Golovkin good for the sport

[Mr. Philadel]

of course he's good for the sport....PERSONAL feelings aside, dude can fight and he doesn't come across as a dickhead....he's cool!!...he's STILL avoiding Ward though...no matter how you try to slice it

[LoadedWraps]

What a stupid question. Red K worthy.

In what way is a KO artist with charisma a bad thing for boxing?

Unless you personally don't like the guy, that's a you problem. For the business of boxing, it's a great thing.

Still up for debate. So far he is just like every other boxer, he is in it for the money which is fine by me, and going for the lower risk high reward fights like every other fighter that fans complain about. What's not fine is his fans and the media alike portraying him as something else. If I went into boxing it would be for the money and I once get to the point where I can actually fight for millions of dollars I would definitely do it, I would fight the guys who make me the most millions. He is not out here to prove anything, he's not out here to beat Lara, or Ward, or do anything crazy like move up 8lbs. He is strictly here to fight the most famous guys he can fight and make his money and get out. Nothing wrong with that, just call a spade a spade.

He's great for the sport, he's knocking every bum out left and right, just like Butterbean did.

Plus look at his PPV numbers, he's clearly in demand by fans.

Co-sign. I was gonna respond to a couple other posters, but you summarized both points well.
