***Golovkin was very talented, why did he take the way route?***

If you think that Golovkin fans had posted threads and asked: who from LHW or CW might had Hagler beat up etc alike, you are wrong.
Not alone there " just " about SMW boxers.
While Hagler size is known for me and I do not post such bull**** questions.

 

Golovkin's hype train is extremely similar to Margarito's in 2006. He had the exact same management. Golovkin's team did a far better job than Arum in this case simply because they targeted social media, which was extremely smart and the result is obvious. They attract an ocean of simple minded people that truly genuinely believe he would give the likes of prime Tyson and SRR hell. However, when it came time to actually pay(the joke Lemieux fight being on PPV), which was clearly a test on their part, even the simple minded didn't pay.

As far as contribution is concerned, there is literally none as far as brag worthy achievements. All they did was contribute to disaster. Now others will also attempt a similar route to cash out as much as possible without taking any risks. This guy's biggest win is Kell Brook for God's sakes and he still got stiffed out from a single blow in the first round.

 

Yeah, that it was a bit embarassing when Ward took him up on that and all of sudden only 164 was acceptable for GGG:s team.

 

Lol smh

 

Didn’t realize he won, thanks for showing me.

 

I remember hearing that N'Dam turned down a fight. Quillin didn't seem to want any part of Golovkin, either.

I wrote a long article detailing Golovkin's career awhile back and the one thing that I found was that NO middleweight in history spent as much time as he did as the #1 ranked middleweight without getting a chance at the Middleweight Championship. He spent 4+ years trying to earn his shot, while Martinez, and then Cotto, and then Alvarez (at least briefly) looked the other way. If he had been giving his rightful shot at Sturm or Sylvester, or both, back in 2008/9, there would be no conversation to be had. Golovkin would have been able to carve out a great career for himself. Instead he was stonewalled and his detractors have to resort to soundbites and fake contracts to place the blame on him. We know Golovkin was at least on par with Alvarez at 35, so it stands to reason that the prime version was more exceptional.

 

GGG is an obviously very talented fighter, but he should have went up to 168 to fight against Froch and Ward for legacy fights. He should have fought Chavez Jr. for a money fight as well. He'd be in a much better position with his legacy and finances as well.

They negotiated in 2014, but GGG wanted Froch to come down 2 lbs. They should have just fought at 168.

 

And arguably GGG never lost to Canelo, but anyone who has that opinion is an idiot in your eyes.

 

Maybe he was, I never saw those fights. But IsaL suggested they were wins, which indicates he felt they were the wrong decision. So he should maybe drink a nice tall glass of shut the **** up when it comes to GGG fans who think likewise about the Canelo fights.

Or he had a case of the dumb-dumbs and misremembered losses as wins. One of the two.

 

Why not?
Ward had been supposed to fight vs Beterbiev and insted of this he had retired while being 33? y.o.
I do not take this as something bad for him or his resume.
GGG isn't enough large for SMW, not alone LHW.
