Shiming is on his way out. Hes a 34 year old in a stacked division and got completely outclassed in his last fight. And the fighters he did beat, brought nothing to the table.
Which shows how much of a cash cow he is at the moment. He's not going to be one for long but he's still the biggest pay day at Flyweight.
Surprisingly two people at my work know who GGG is. They are both very casual so his name is getting out there some. One was whining about how boring Pac was this weekend since he didn't push the fight. He was saying boxing is boring. I showed him GGG highlights and he was like ok if that was on the undercard I would have enjoyed my purchase.
Same here in the UK i have spoke to people who know nothing about boxing but have heard of Golovkin 'The one who knocks everybody out' they say
Exactly. Any fighter who firstly has a Mexican following and is a winner at such a young age is very much in pole position to be the next star.
I'll say this, as it seems that Lomachenko might become the next pfp #1, its a good thing for the sport that the pfp #1 is, while a pure boxer, a relatively offensive guy with KO power who puts people away. While I enjoyed Manny Floyd, as far as the casuals are concerned he stunk out the joint last Saturday. No bueno for the sport.
GGG with a good shot IMO. How good is Crawford? I see potential there... he'll be in many exciting fights. Do we think he's elite?
