    Like it or not, at over 36 years of age, Gennady Golovkin is STILL considered the very best middleweight in the world by the vast majority of boxing fans.

    This is why HBO boxing is washed up. Jim Lampley has been on this crusade to replace all American fighters in the Hall of Fame with a Eastern European one. Ali and Golovkin have not fought the same caliber of competition in their careers. Ali's run from 1973-1976 would kill GGG. Who was Golovkin's Frazier, Canelo a career 154 fighter?
    Now who was Golovkin's Foreman? Who was the beast that Golovkin slain in his latter years to earn all this praise?

    Ali had trilogy fights with 2 elite heavyweights, Joe Frazier and Ken Norton and went on to be the only man, at 33, to stop George Foreman in his prime when Ali was considered "washed up", had to then go on a fight Chuck Wepner in the most racist built fight since Johnson vs Jeffries, where Wepner threw almost 150 illegal shots and the ref ignored everything, but Wepner gets praise because he tripped Ali and they scored it a knock down. After all of that, Ali finished the year by completing his trilogy with Frazier who he finally stopped in the 14th round and went on to finish the trilogy with Norton.

    Why does Golovkin get this type of praise for being average?

    Yes, God gifted Ali with the amazing ability to fight and have extreme charisma in the face of hatred. God must hate Golovkin because the guy has a boring personality and will be remembered as the HBO's biggest hypejob since Andre Berto...just saying 38-1-1.:bananaride:yaay:b1::b2::banana:
