    Finally you found your way here! It's been up before i even heard of you!:deal:hi: GGG gets no hate from me,but his fans do.. You don't hype a fighter because of his popularity, you hype a fighter based off of what he's done in the sport, Who he's fought and who he's beaten... You mean to tell me GGG has a better resume than Kovalev?:huh

    I really think they both deserve all the hype they can get.
    Golovkin is even harder to beat for sure, but he can't get the big fights because they just run away or come up with bulls__t demands.
    Kovalev already had those "bigger" fights and showed that these guys were only bigger names instead of much stronger opponents.
    So kovalev has the edge for now, due to age and only one guy actually ran away from him, so he had the chance to beat these names already.

    On the other hand, I can't think of anyone in Golovkin's weightclass who'd actually stand more as a 1 out of 10 chance, while I believe Kova vs the pimp is about a 80/20 fight

    I can agree on everything except your lasts point. I give Canelo a hell of a shot to beat GGG. The skills, the experience against top level fighters and the combination punching is something GGG has never faced. It's truly a 50/50 fight IMO.

    No it's not both.. Kovalev has the better resume thus should get more hype than GGG. This is not rocket science!

    Tell that to Alvarez.
    And most people clearly disagree with that. I really think the bookies even overvalue Canelo with 7/2 odds.

    No it wasn't lol you made this thread after you quoted me (it tells you the time of the post dish!t) I've already said kovalev has a better record, keep up. And no most hype comes from the potential people see in a fighter and the manner of his wins otherwise prospects wouldn't have any hype at all would they?

    GGG supporters do, but in the real world not dictated on a boxing forum, Canelo is a very live dog..:deal And I think he has earned it. Bottom line GGG has to bend to Canelo's demands or a fight will never happen.. I don't like it.. But i'm just a boxing fan. what can I do?

    is it weird that every sparring partner who sparred both kovalev and king GiGi has stated that king GiGi hits harder? keep in mind that kovalev is so much bigger and heavier, GiGi obviously deserves more hype..

    On the other hand, GGG beat more top 10 ring rated opponents in more dominant fashion and pretty much never struggled. So Kovalev by only a very slight edge for me.
