    There wasnt anyone hyping up those guys like they do Golovkin. The guy has legit ATG talent, never loses a round. World class Olympic pedigree. Everybody else you mentioned are borderline brawlers.

    Rigo is too small for Loma. At 122 he is small, Loma is a large 126, average size 130.

    No. Because none of the characters you've mentioned had what GGG has. The only person I could see him being compared to was young Mike Tyson.

    I'm not talking about the fake aura of invincibility I'm commenting on HBO'S trying to sell the fighter as "The most avoided".

    damn close to it. nobody wants those precision punches that golovkin delivers just above the temple.. make you kinda stupid for a few days.. nevermind the left hook to the body.

    canelo cash cow runs his mouth and then drops the belt.. so, you know..

    Are you talking about the same Ward who ducked him at an hbo meeting ?

    Are you also talking of the email sent after the Lemieux fight was signed ??


    By the way, I would like to congratulate you on the fun you bring to this forum. You are by far the best troll on esb.

    I know that I should not feed you but it will be my good action for today.

    It doesn't matter if you feed it or not, the thing eats out of its own diaper.

    It's a big money fight for him and would garner plenty of interest. If he doesn't want it then fine but he then has to accept what's he been left with at 122.

    It's annoying that the other champs won't fight him but what can he do? He can't drag Frampton, LSC or even Quigg into a ring with him can he?

    Boxing in 2016 everybody.

    GGG is the most feared fighter of his era. Little doubt about that.

    Yes he is. There is talent all around him yet nobody wants to get in the ring with him. Sergio Martinez, Julio Chavez jr, Cotto, Canelo, Quillan have all flat out ducked him. Then you got guys being quiet trying to avoid him like Jacobs and guys pricing themselves out like Billy Joe Saunders. Then you have talent a division below and no one is offering to move up for the challenge. Nobody seems to keen at 168 either.
    This is Sonny Liston level of avoidance. I been watching the sport and involved with it for 30 years. Anyone who denies that he is avoided has an agenda. It's quite obvious he is highly highly avoided.
