People have this false perception that Golovkin is this great warrior who has great integrity and fears nothing. Mr. "Kazakh Thunder". Mr. "Most Feared Man in Boxing". Mr. "Bad Boy". Mr. "Stronger than Tyson". Mr. "I'll fight anyone from 154-168".
But a real man is someone who stays true to his word. What happened when a simple, quiet man from Oakland by the name of SOG Ward called Gennady's bluff and held Gennady to his word? GGG, the "most feared man in boxing", backed the FK down.
Read on to see the irrefutable proof.
First, Golovkin tells Kellerman that he would fight ANYONE FROM 154-168, including Andre Ward specifically, in the following video.
Skip to 33:00 of the video, and watch until 33:30.
Starting at 33:00 of the interview, Max Kellerman asks Golovkin:" You said that you'd fight anyone from 154-168. Who do you have in mind?"
Golovkin: "Doesn't matter who. I'm ready!"
Max Kellerman asks him AGAIN:" Would you fight ANYONE from 154-168?"
Golovkin: "Everybody, doesn't matter who. ANYONE. OF COURSE!"
Max Kellerman:" If Andre Ward beats Chad Dawson, you'd fight him?"
Golovkin:" Yes!!!!! Why not? Andre Ward is a good man, and I beat Andre Dirrel (amateurs). I'm ready now!"
Not only does Golovkin say that he would fight anyone from 154-168, he specifically says that he will fight Andre Ward.
We know what happens next. Ward destroys Dawson, becomes p4p #2, and answers Golovkin's challenge. All of a sudden, Andre Ward becomes this big bad bully/coward who is picking on little guys, when Golovkin HIMSELF issued the challenge.
What did the great fearless warrior Golovkin do once Ward called his bluff?
He backed the fk down like a PUSSIE. "Andre Ward is too much for me".
Skip to 0:39 of this video to see him pussie out.
"No. Andre Ward is too much for me. Andre is Andre. Me is me."
There is simply no way that any rational Golovkin fan can spin this. I'm not hating on Golovkin, but facts are facts. Golovkin called out Ward, and ran when Ward responded. There is no way that any of us can blame Ward for the drama that took place next. Fact: GOLOVKIN DUCKED WARD.
Conclusion: Golovkin is not this fearless, honest warrior that everyone thinks he is. The man started out as a street bully/thug on the streets of Karagandy, beating up smaller men in front of their girlfriends and intimidating random guys on the streets. He has built a reputation in boxing by knocking out absolute BUMS. Because he speaks little English, he now pretends to be a good and respectful guy, knowing that it's the only way insecure male fans in the US will like him.
His resume is a joke compared to Ward, Canelo, Floyd, or even Cotto. His best win to date is Daniel Geale, a guy who Cotto dominated and knocked out just as quick. His ethnicity/looks and fake nice guy persona are the main reasons behind his hype.
But what happened when a real man from Oakland by the name of Andre Ward stared Goliath right in the eye? The bully backed down.
It does, however, raise the question of why Golovkin called out Ward in the first place. I'll include possible theories in the poll.
Discuss.
