He's obviously a potentially elite fighter. Done what he's supposed to against C-B level opponents, the best the weight has to offer... for years now. Has everybody waiting for him to become enough reward to take the risk. Not elite until he puts in a performance against someone worthy to share the ring. It depends on HOW he gets beat if he does lose, to see if he's a 'hypejob'.
A level fighters are smarter than you. They believe their eyes and know that Golovkin will smash them, so they duck.
I bet that featherfisted Monroe would put you down with one punch. Anyway, what does a black eye have to do with anything and why other "champions" are still ducking GGG if he is so hitable ?
Destroying whoever dares to step in the ring with him. Unfortunately, there are too many cowards avoiding him.
What does age have to do with it? Its in this moment, the here and now. Both show/showed power and skills. Neither had /has made the big leap up in comp. Tyson had years to go and improve, GGG not so many. But it doesnt change the fact of the here and now. Here and now GGG is the most feared for the same reasons as Tyson.
He has destroyed top 10 middle weights, with the exception of the top 3 (they are avoiding him). Nobody destroys top 10 middle weights the way GGG has been doing, it is absolutely astonishing.
Kind of reminds me of Federer at tennis , just does everything very very smoothly. Lets be honest , is this resume any worse than Hopkins reign of terror at 160???
He's knocking out over matched bums and being highly promoted for it. That's all he needs to do to attract ret@rds. Further proof that his following is 90% mentally disabled is the fact that he's calling out Welterweights and Light Middleweights yet is being hailed a hero for it. Kind of similar to Concreto back when he was also calling out smaller opponents.
