How good has it been for Golovkin to base himself in America?

    Think you need to move on and not even bother trying to answer. Dont do this to yourself

    Consider German based Sturm had already fought 3 of the fighters on the list you have copied of mine there previously which begs the question of has it been good for Golovkin.
    Do you still not get it? Doubt it, you just ramble

    The obvious answer from both a competition and financial stake is....

    Golovkin is a bigger draw than every single one of USA's stars.

    Golovkin's US appeal is even less than that of Arthur Abraham. More US fans know Abraham then little g, because Abraham has not only faced bigger names but shown his boxing heart with competitive bouts.

    Who can forget the epic 2006 war between Abraham and the then fierce and hard punching Edison Miranda. Abraham had his jaw broken early in the fight but still managed to go the distance winning a UD.

    This was well before the Super 6 tournament.

    We all know exactly what Abraham is made of because of this fight and the follow on fights with Jermain Taylor, Andre Dirrell, Andre Ward, Carl Froch, etc.
    Let us not forget Abraham is just 35 years old. Just a couple years older than GiGi.

    Based on Abraham's success in Germany, K2 made a terrible mistake with little g.

    Face facts for once... Gennady Golovkin has one big problem ..
    He is TOO GOOD a fighter. Everyone that knows anything about boxing regard Gennady as the REAL World Middleweight Champion. Every other 160 pound fighters knows this too so they'll find every excuse in the book not to have to fight him. You can include 168 pound fighters that too.'
    Sad isn't it when boxing has sunk do low its inhabited by prima donnas who rely on the corruption in the sport for their success as much as their boxing abilities

    Be careful what you wish for. Remember, all of us fans may have to pay the price. :lol:

    :good
    This is the most logical thing that you have ever written that was't dripping with bias or hate.:happy

    Sounds like a smart move. Plus I wonder why more American fighters don't cross over and fight. I went to London in 2005 and the exchange rate on the American dollar compared to the Pound was heart breaking. I had $3000 and only got like 1700 pounds.(I don't know how to find that symbol on my keyboard)

    If I was a fighter in need of some fat bank I would raise my stock up and go over to the UK and fight cans galore until I could exchange that for U.S. millions.

    Anthony Joshua is not a ppv star. He's just a up and coming star in England.

    He did more PPV in the UK than Mayweather did for his last 'history making; fight v Bertoe, despite that being available to 5x more people :hi:plus earned more in that night than Widler has done in his entire career.:hi:

    I think he had decided to change his mood & fight in a different way for his future matches.
