    No, It was very accurate. But I respect your opinion.

    Hahahahaha...

    A thread about Charlo and GGG steals the topic.

    Yo, I respect your posts also. Which is why I'd think you explaining why Golovkin deserves it more than Kovalev logically gives more credence to your argument.

    I don't think Golovkin deserves to be rated higher than Kovalev. I was talking about how It seems to me when GGG haters bring up Kovalev in a discussion about Golovkin.

    Many of the P4P lists I've seen have Golovkin listed 2,3,4, and even 5 places ahead of Kovalev. Perhaps this reflects great disrespect for what Kovalev has accomplished. Golovkin gets hardly any play here on ESB, but every other thread is GGG. That's not exactly fair to a boxer who has fought BHOP, Ward, Pascal, Chilemba and proven himself to be among the best.

    Most fair posters rate Kovalev higher. The only ones who'd put GGG either diehard fanboys or those who base their rankings solely on the eyetest.

    Yes, there are too many threads about GGG here, but they consist of both pro-GGG and anti-GGG.

    What test? Bumlovkin is the king of can crushers. He has no defense and is ducking all the real comp from 154 to 168. Please get your story straight. No one with any skills needs a tune up for Bumlovkin. LOL.

    GGG vs Charlo might look like Hagler-Hearns.

    No, it won't.
    Let me tell you what it will look like.
    Most of Golovkin's mediocre opponents came into the fight scared. They fought on the back foot and allowed Golovkin to do his thing, coming forward and backing them up to the ropes where Golovkin unloaded on them.
    Charlo ain't scared of Golovkin. He's going to stay in the center of the ring.

    When Kellerman calls Crawford a mean boxer, then he'd have to call Jermall nasty.
    Charlo has better hand speed than Golovkin and as he showed in the Williams fight, he has a very solid chin. He took some great shots from Williams but just kept coming.
    Little Brook was able to land some accurate and sharp punches against Golovkin, and I don't care what anyone says, those shots really bothered Golovkin.
    How will Golovkin respond when he gets hit with a shot like Charlo landed on Williams?
    Jermall's handspeed is comparable to Brook but with 10x the power.
    Believe me. Jermall Charlo would be the most dangerous fight Golovkin has had at 160. Maybe even more dangerous than Canelo.
    I can't wait for this fight because the bookies will have Charlo as a huge underdog and there will be big money to be made when Jermall proves the oddmakers wrong and dethrones Golovkin.

    How'd that turn out for Brook? I believe the real motivation for Brook was the money! Charlo hasn't the fan base anywhere that compares to Brooks in England. Right now Charlo would have zero leverage in negotiations. He's doing the correct thing. Unlike Brook, Charlo plans on staying at 160, no escape plan after a G fight. Let the guy get acclimated to the division and see how he feels. The last thing Charlo wants, is to realize 160 isn't where it's at, in the middle of a 3G fight.

    How are you undersized if you weigh 170+ in the ring on fight night at 154 or 155.

    Fact:
    Those same idiots found a way to score 8 f/n rds for Ward
    Those same f/n idiots claim Lomachenko is ducking a Salido rematch
    Those same f/n idiots claim Lomachenko was ducking Rigo when he wouldnt come off his 124 demand.
    Those same f/n idiots would be all over this site with anti Loma threads if Loma lost a close fight to Crawford or any American or African descent Brit.

    It would be an unwise business decision for Mallow to fight him just now.
    Uncle AL will wait on the Jacobs/GGG PPV #s, then wait out to see if the Canelo/GGG fight gets made, and IF it does, then and only then will he send Mallow over to HBO PPV to fight GGG.

    ATM.....Jermall is likely to be fighting for the soon to be vacant WBA title.
    A quick ranking fight vs the likes of Vera, then into that fight vs NDam or Monroe if NDam ducks.
