    Finally, considering the low standards, you have something to brag about as a Golovkin fan. :qmeparto:

    I'm not the original guy you responded to aha.

    Most people here will agree that GGG is one the top boxers of the last 10 years. I mean it looks like you're projecting here. I don't consider myself a fan of any fighter btw

    There's a difference between mismatches and Clenelo's fixed sparring partner opponents. Nice attempt at trying to be smart though

    I sometimes feel bad for Canelo. He makes the big fights happen consistently.

    You cannot deny his quality. Yes he does get some judge bias at times, but the only fights I think he's lost so far was GGG 1 fight and Mayweather.

    Still arguably the P4P top 2.

    Gotta say, Canelo has come a long way from the boy who handed his belt over to GGG back in 2016.

    Great fight.

    There’s no reason to hate on Canelo when he’s constantly fighting the best fighters in his weight class, especially undefeated fighters. Bivol will definitely be a stiff test for Canelo and it’s a fight that I actually think could go either way. You gotta give props to Canelo, he’ll fight anyone.

    Top Boxers are properly rated when they showcase their skills against quality opposition.
    Golovkin's one and only true step-up was against a smaller opponent and all the attributes he was promoted to have ceased to exist in both fights.

    When all you fight are opponents you enter the ring as a 100/1 or 20/1 favorite against, you're conning a gullible audience. The proof that he quickly went irrelevant is right there for you to see. Ever since his last fight, he has barely been mentioned and quickly drifted away because there's nothing worth remembering him for. Fighters are remembered for their quality fights, not their twitter marketing campaigns.

    Finally, you admit that Golovkin's entire career is padded with mismatches. :lol:

    You are laughably stupid.

    Where exactly did I say Golovkin's career is padded with mismatches? You just can't stop rimming a ginger Clenhead who is scamming and deceiving the public with fixed fights. You have no honor or morals supporting that circus act

    Yet, you have morals supporting a farce that made a career exploding into arenas as a 100/1 favorite against bums, and only shamelessly called out smaller opponents for free paydays.

    Get out of here, moron.

    LOL... Have a look at Canelo's first 40 fights. Stiff tough opposition there ay?! Picking 36 yo in GGG, Mayweather, Kovalev.. So brave.

    I can gladly admit Golovkin's resume isn't the greatest but he has good to decent wins against Canelo x 2, Jacobs, Lemieux, Deryvanchenko.

    Like I've said you absolute in denial clown, you can't really compare mismatches with actively deceiving the public with fixed fights and sparring sessions.

    Im pretty sure I've addressed this with you before you cretin. But you're so dishonest you keep bringing it up and ignoring any valid response. Golovkin fought a big welter in Brook, yes it was a mismatch. Canelo was a damn weight bully at 154 bullying smaller fighters. He dragged 140lber Khan up several weight classes and dwarfed him. He also had a competitive fight with a much smaller aged Cotto. At least answer why you criticise Golovkin on beating this one smaller fighter, whereas you're happy to ignore Canelo's repeated offences? You won't and you'll just ignore the question. Just like your comrades shadow and asshol have been doing.

    And you call me the moron.

    Khan wasn't a 140 lber at that time. He had been at 147 for several fights before moving up to fight Canelo at 155. Brook had been at 147 as well and he had to make a much higher jump to fight GGG at 160. Yes, Brook was naturally bigger than Khan, but both were at the same weight, welterweight, when they moved up to fight Canelo / GGG.

    So lets be clear - Khan moved up 8 lbs to fight Canelo, while Brook moved up 13 lbs to fight GGG. Canelo agreed to a lower weight to fight Khan, GGG refused to do that for Brook. Therefore, GGG was a much bigger weight bully than Canelo, making Brook go all the way up to 160.

    Also Canelo didn't "drag" Khan up. It was quite the opposite. Khan "dragged" Canelo down to 155, requesting the catchweight. Khan even tried to pull a Floyd and drag Canelo all the way down to 153 but 155 was the lowest weight for defending the MW Title. Also Khan called up Canelo's team to request the fight, Canelo's team did not reach out to Khan.

    If anyone was a weight bully, it was GGG and Khan insisting on weights that benefited them. I know you like to criticize Canelo for his catchweight matches, but if we're honest all of the catchweights he had (with the exception of his match with JCC Jr) benefitted his opponents not him. When you agree to catchweights due to opponent demands, that's not you being a weight bully, that's you being weight bullied.
    It was competitive but also one-sided. Cotto didn't do enough to win more than a handful of rounds. He kept rounds close, but he did not win more than a few rounds. Also Canelo having immense respect for Cotto sort of carried Cotto. Canelo didn't try to hurt Cotto or get him out of there, he did just enough to win rounds, but Canelo coasted for most of that match rather than stepping on the gas and applying pressure to Cotto who was older and faded at that point.

    Like I'll bother reading a load of garbage from a clearly mentally ill moron.

    Just a few words in were enough to stop me from polluting myself further. You don't find it insulting enough that you're comparing Alvarez' early stay-active fights when he was 20 years old with the farce's career defining fights?
