    none of the guys you listed has the pedigree or the boxing ability that GGG has. If you pay attention, the re****ed posts you have mentioned are created by GGG haters, on alts, to get this reaction.

    Indeed he has a lot of female fans, unlike ward :lol:

    Any time a white fighter is dropping brothers he's gonna get hate, this goes back to the marciano days (even though marciano wasn't considered white back then)

    That's the thing, boxing ability and skills are determined by the quality of your opponents.

    Thanks Shockmaster. I'm a borderline delusional GGG fan myself but I totally respect this very level, and legitimate answer. What cracks me up is how much random hate you got spit back in your face when you posted this. I read your post and I was like, "Well, that sums it up. This should be the end of the thread." Man was I wrong. For the first time ever I was siding with the Wardos of the world. GGG will get there. He doesn't have much time, but hopefully he'll get there.

    No sweet science, he needs to learn how to hold and run. I hate KO.

    Soft opposition because his weight class is bad. Not his fault, but it does look like he refuses to fight at 154 and 168 - both of which are significantly more competitive weight classes.

    I don't dislike GGG as a person and I actually think he's a highly skilled fighter but his fans make it hard to root for him because of their excuses and double standards.
    People make him out to be the second coming without ever facing a single fighter of note in over 30 fights.
    Had a chance to face an elite fighter for the first time in his career but chose to duck him instead despite saying he'd fight anyone from 168-154.

    I guess that's why I love Loma, Fury, Froch and Calzaghe. You also don't see me bashing Wlad and Kovalev either now do you?:hi: Why because they are proven fighters against legit comp. If GGG would have fought and beat Ward I wouldn't have anything to say about him other than he was as good as advertised. For whatever reason GGG fans don't want him to be tested against Ward though.
