    He is not an anomaly at all, he turned down his shot at undisputed, his first real step up fight was close against a guy everyone including myself predicted he would blow away, he didn't beat Canelo, rejected Andre Ward when he took him up on his challenge. I'm sorry but he is not an anomaly not like the legends of the past.

    I don't think it would even carry up to SMW, he is a big puncher for his weight division for sure but some fans took it way too far.

    What is the basis of Govkin not being able to carry his power up? Where are the logical indications?

    There is far more basis to believe that the opposite is true:

    I wonder who to believe; baseless critics, or first hand witnesses?

    Fitz, Walcott, Langford, these anomalies you refer to? They also had not so stellar nights. You can’t just knee-jerk react based off the last performance. You have to look at everything.

    George Foreman went the distance with Peralta, one of the smallest guys he ever fought.

    Its not because he went the distance its because those guys gave him all he could handle, which tells you he is good but not as good as the fanatics make out.

    Shame on you for even giving those types of posts the time of day.

    We all know there are stupid fans who say stupid things. Threads to discuss the silly things fans say is pointless. Just my take.

    Lol I know those threads are exaggerated but I do remember a lot of credible guys who thought GGG could smoke Kovalev, Ward and predicted him to dominate 168. A lot of people are back tracking now but when GGG koed Lemieux that was a lot of them thought.

    The idiots are the loudest and most full of hyperbole after a fight.

    I couldn't be bothered to read through 6 pages of this thread but hope there are a whole load of David Price jokes as GGG prob lays the plumbing trade's answer to lord humungous out cold.

    Sorry, Rubio and Stevens and the crew were not ranked in any top 5 at MW.

    Maybe for you personally. But you would have been all by yourself.

    Who did he fight before Lemeiux that was a top 5 MW again? Thanks.

    What is with the straw man bs? **** off with that crap. I never argued Rubio or Stevens were top 5.

    I told you at least three times in the other thread who they were and listed them here in this thread again.

    One last time, per RING:

    Proska was #4
    Geale was #2
