I see some people saying Lil g, and GGG is just fighting bums, so when is it that GGG will get respect? When he goes up to fight Ward? When he fights Canelo? When he fights Lara? When he fights Eubanks Jr.? When he fights Jacobs? When he fights BJS? Or does he have to fight all of them before he gets respect? Last time I checked he does have the majority of the belts in his division and one of those belts was just handed to him by the last champ.
Golovkin has EVERY KNOWLEDGEABLE boxing fans respect as well as his peers in the fight game. Like it or lump it GGG is the Undefeated, Undisputed Middleweight Champion of the World!!!!!!!!!!!! Live With It !!!!!
All of the above. GGG needs to beat everyone at 154, 160, 168 and 175 for some of these trolls to say he's alright.
He has the respect of His Peers that is the most important thing...%90 of Other Fighters and Trainers know He is the best Middleweight we have seen for some time the other %10 are pushing an agenda end of story.!!!!
Stand out Amateur career, unbeaten as a professional, never been stopped or dropped. Mexican legend Chavez Sr rated him his number 1 at this moment in time. I don't agree but it's still a great compliment from Chavez Sr. Nearly every pro that's sparred with him says he is technically excellent and hits like a heavyweight, even those who haven't sparred him rate him very highly. But people on here who have probably never boxed or even sparred a single round dismiss him as a hype job. So in answer to your question, inside boxing he has respect, in forums like these with people who haven't really got a clue what they are watching he won't be given any. But in all honesty if you were Golovkin who's respect would you rather have :think
Lol this is what will happen: GGG will fight the fighters the OP posted, then the trolls will write 'em off as bums then will want GGG to "move up". Rinse and repeat and you have this forum.
