    Better than Wlad? or Pacquiao?
    He has potential, but with what Wlad and Pacquiao, have achieved, I wouldnt overlook them and would rate them above

    Hes from the same country as Wlad Klitschko and Vassily Jirov. Wlad looks very Asian as well.

    What language do they speak in Kazakhstan. It sounds sorta like Russian to be honest.

    Wlad is Asian and born in Kazakhstan! He's the best, Pac and GGG are #2 and #3.

    I'm neutral on the whole thing cause it's the 21st century and race doesn't matter but it's pretty obvious he's white, for people with eyes that is

    There is a Kazakh language, but under the Soviets Russian was the official language AFAIK. Golovkin (like most Kazakh nationals) speaks both Russian and Kazakh, he also speaks German - English is his forth language.

    Wlad was born in modern day Kazakhstan but his father was a military careerist from the Ukrainian SSR who was posted at different times at various places in the Soviet Union and moved his family with him (Vitali was born in neighbouring Kyrgyzstan - or rather the Kyrgyz SSR).

    whytetittie is a GGG troll who is obsessed with me and stalks me across the forum, because I have the audacity to be very cautious about a guy who has beat a lot of b-level but talented MW's but seems to posses a lot of skills but I'm not ready to call him the greatest of all time yet, and have the temerity to think in the recent past that boxers with very good records may pose some problems for GGG, wow I must be certifiably insane for not instantaneously buying into the hype.

    GGG is sorta like Steven Seagal. Both White/ Asian hybrids that are great fighters.

    Seagal is a Russian last name but Steven says that his ancestors were Russian Asians.Mongolians to be exact.

    He's white this isn't even a debate. Is he 100% Caucasian no but very few people are. Being Italian I am probably 1/16th arab and 1/32nd african am I not white?

    People seemed to want to classify GGG based primarily on his phenotype (How he looks) rather than recognizing he has genes from both Asian and Caucasian ancestors.

    Short story looks mostly white, in reality about half asian, half white.....just like my son but my son instead looks mostly asian.

    Not wrong to claim him as your own if you are Asian or Caucasian based on his genes and appearance, and if your Latin for his mexican fighting style and spirit :p
