Golovkin "I have never been hurt in the ring"

*Heads straight to the floored thread to bump it* lol

 

Ha ha buckled against Brook,you have some imagination for sure,I mean it is boxing and the other guy is allowed to have success you know?

 

The reality is that this thread is not about whether Brook's eye was badly damaged - we all know it was, its about GGG saying he's never been hurt, when clearly to even someone with one eye and half a brain, Brook lit him up and hurt him.

 

Yeah but be cracked Quillin. That deserves respect.

 

The problem I have with GG, is not about his abilities as a boxer, he's tremendous and in the next 2-3 years could do great things and earn his spot in the HOF. No, that's not the issue. My beef is, that to some here, he has to be seen as superhuman, like he's the embodiment of of some deeply-held belief, the talisman for something beyond the boundaries of sport and to accept flaws in him as a fighter is to accept weaknesses in a wider cause. And the best shield to observing the frailties which live in any man, is to build their icon into something otherworldly. Therefore, we witness reveling in claims he cannot be hurt, his power is greater than a HW, his chin is cast in the foundry of iron souls. He's unbeatable.

But in the end, he's just a man who can box. Very well as it turns out.

 

Well said. In other words, your beef is with a certain section of his fans who won't accept GGG is a human ...

I'm a GGG fan, but I find the idolization of him most repulsive. Especially as it has annoyed some good posters and made them dislike GGG.

 

I thought for "certain" I saw him hurt but now after reviewing it 100x I can't be sure, he was buzzed that I think I'm sure of.

Check Hogg vs amari.
Ggg was 12/0 10Ko going in, last opponent to not get ko'd, only 8 rounder but this dude was one tough mofo and this was ggg toughest fight by FAR.

It was the 4th round. that's the most damage I've seen any shot impact ggg. so now I believe he was buzzed or stunned but not hurt and whatever the shot meant ggg had to clear the cobwebs, and that was a massive left hook on the button which he never saw coming

 

I've managed to avoid disliking him, thankfully. I make sure I watch all his fights and don't tune in hoping he will lose. I want him truly tested, like all great fighters should be. But when I joined ESB I was stunned by the worship and railed against it a bit.

 

Yeah, fair enough, I wasn't referring to you btw.

 

Idk but there's a 4th round left hook that was the most damaging shot I've seen ggg get caught with.

Hurt ? idk but he felt it and had to shake the shot off and that's a fact

F-ing doublejab. You and your reason. Making everybody sane and sober again.

 

Brook NEVER hurt ggg, not even close. the closest I've seen throughout his 430+ career fights is round 4 here,

At the end of the day, it isn't GGG, it's his hardcore fans who think he's unbeatable, and give him a bad name.. if he beats jacobs...fine..... Canelo is a whole different beast..m you chumps wouldn't last a day in my shoes, in the 90's. You guys are little snitch bitches who don't respect the rule..... **** you!

 

This is strictly to the punk ass ciwards@!!

 

So GGG is Superman? Then all an opponent needs to do is find the right Kryptonite
to defeat him....
