Canelo, Quillin, Saunders and Eubank Really? Those are good fights to you? Canelo is too small and can't even win a round against "coward" Floyd. Qullan's ears are still ringing from the as.s whoopin' Jacobs but on him. Saunders and Eubank are Come on GG fans...RAISE THE BAR.
the offer to fight at 164 were a huge point of time later where ward was irrelevant to ggg`s agenda. again ward turned 3 x times a fight against ggg down. read it http://www.cityam.com/219426/gennad...ould-be-best-next-fightward-turned-down-fight
You take Gigi's word. I'll take Ward's word. One thing is for sure...He didn't ask anybody else at 168 for a catchweight but Ward.
One thing, Ward has been previously lying while GGG hasn't. I guess it's in your blood to believe lies and then spread lies. Continue in your hatred young bums protection squad member...
How was it tougher. You had Duran, Haglers first really GREAT NAME.... Prior to that name, the rest of his previous defenses read much like GGGs. So, Duran, a career SFW, who hadnt fought above LW prior to his 64th fight, and looked like a fat midget vs Hagler. Yeah, what a historic victory. Wonder how Golovkin would look if he fought Jose Luis Castillo, or even Eric Morales, cuz that's almost exactly what Hagler did when he beat Duran. Next on the list....Tommie Hearns. Yes, Hearns was a big guy. Tall that is. Much like PWilly, loads of heart, a great punch, but like PWilly, almost always gave up his height, and big guys without a chin, are almost always KTFO if they dont get the KO. If Hearns had anyone in the division today who mimics his size, strengths, and abilities.....it's Andy Lee. Next up, John Mugabi. Yup, another would be great win, yet Mugabi, unlike MOST of his Continental African Compatriots, had NO CHIN, NONE. And examine his career and define his ATGness. Then, theres that former WW Champion, who averaged 145 lbs throughout his career, MOVING UP IN WEIGHT for the mega fight. Both Hagler 34 and Sugar 32 were considered old for those days. Certainly no longer prime as Sugar has been in many wars, and Hagler, well, he fought at his natural weight his entire career, never having the size adavantages he enjoyed vs 3 of 4 of his career defining fights, one of which he arguably, and officially lost. I don't want to take anything away from Marvelous.....he was indeed just that.......but the hatred for Golovkin is not because he's overrated, but rather because he's a non-American, non-African, and has a fanbase largely consisting of caucasoids.....perhaps 95% of his die-hard fans are caucasoids, white ppl from various parts of the world. And let's be realistic here. When Donny Lalonde was dominating his division, he was ALWAYS considered a nobody because Spinks had left the division, and it took SRL draining Lalonde down to 167 to beat him. Not really a LaLonde fan myself, but I remember distinctly that my family was not happy about the newly created SMW division. But as fans of the Golden Boy, they watched feverishly to see if the walking corpse was gonna be able to use his size vs the much faster and fresher Leonard. We all know how that fight went. :---(
Golovkin doesn't have to move up, he can stay at 160. My beef is him wanting to cherry pick 154 lbs and 168 lbs fighters and fans showing double standards about it. If Golovkin didn't mention anyone outside of 160, only to back peddle and clarify, I wouldn't have a problem. He can stay at 160 and clean it out until he's 40, fine with me.
GGG should stay at middleweight. I don't know why people have a problem with that. Probably its a younger generation of fans who are obssessed with this "mult division" and "moving up" stuff, fed on a diet of BS concerning the likes of Manny and Mayweather, and a host of other lesser fighters with their meaningless belts. I guess Ray Leonard started it, going for "five weights" against the ordinary Don Lalonde back in 1988.
Sadly Eric Morales didnt decide to fatten up to 160 like Duran did. Sadly, Floyd Mayflower didnt want to fight the best MW in the world like SRL did. Sadly, PWilly is in a wheelchair and Andy Lee took a tough L, because if PWilly werent, and Lee didnt, GGG would have his Hearns fight.atsch
