    GGG fans LOVE to brag about his amatuer pedigree

    But why has his opposition been **** poor for a guy with his accolades?

    Not surprisingly, GGG's resume and age are about the same as Lucien Bute's was going into the Froch fight.
    Bute was 32 and the strongest name on his resume was his UD win over old Glen Johnson.

    An old Glen Johnson is about equal to a young Curtis Stevens.

    If history repeats itself, Chevez will whip that ass and it's all down hill for GGG from there.

    hes had poor luck with Martinez (injuries), sturm (a national phobia called 'cantfightthebestitis', geale (took a $$$ fight with mundine instead of defending, then lost to barker)

    he has network backing and notoriety, so his day will come

    (can't elaborate...gotta run!)

    EDIT : signing with sturm's promotional company delayed his progress for obvious reasons too

    I know I know, Chavez Jr. only has the "Continental Americas" version of a belt, get over it.

    El Chicano = certified Golovkin hater

    Champions like Martinez and Sturm fighting less dangerous opponents like Barker, Macklin, and Murray probably has something to do with it.
    Both men know they'll end up with a painful "L" if they get in the ring with Golovkin.

    What surprises me, is your ability to take a lot of hours of your time to hate on GGG.

    What surprises me more are the morons that actually pay attention to you, so you can keep on stupidly rambling.

    I'm not gonna keep an eye on GGG anymore if he fights no name fighter next. He called out everyone from 154 to 168 to fight him but he keeps fighting bums. What the hell does this mean?

    what's with your obsession with GGG? are you incapable of making threads that don't involve him?

    Is Chavez Jr enough of a "name" for you?
