Gennady Golovkin: Tell me about him

The funny thing is, you are part of a small percentage that think Canelo won. So in your mind you will remember it like that, but to the rest of the world it will be remembered the way it really happened, GGG got screwed over.

 

You have postulated that it's a small percentage. It might seem a small percentage on this forum, or amongst boxing fans, but that's based on small sample sizes that does not represent the whole of the world. What the whole of the world believes is unknown. For example, take the population of Mexico. The overwhelming majority of Mexico don't speak english, wouldn't participate on these forums or in english speaking boxing circles, and would naturally "believe" that Canelo won, because that's what they know happened and would have no reason to disbelieve that. A good chunk of those may not have studied the match like you did to arrive at your conclusion, but regardless they would know and believe Canelo won only based on the result.

If 90% of 200 people on a boxing forum think GGG won, and 131 million+ know and believe Canelo won, then that 90% of 200 boxing fans is a mere speck of sand compared to the vast desert of people who know Canelo won. So your small sample sized 90% only matter within your bubble. Outside of that bubble, in the real world, it is meaningless because it is not based on a study of what happened but rather an appeal to popular opinion which is not an accurate representation of the whole world or what happened. What happens in a boxing ring can be observed, referenced and judged and is far more important than small sample sized bubbled majorities. Presenting yourself as the majority within a bubble is merely a tactic to suppress opposition, which is irrelevant when put against with the cold hard factual reality of what happened.

 

Obviously I'm talking about boxing fans, and you ask Mexican fans and I would say about 8 to 9 out of 10 would say GGG won the first fight. Alot would say the 2nd fight was different, closer to a draw.

 

You have no data to conclude that "8 to 9 out of 10 Mexicans would say GGG won the first fight". It's utterly absurd to believe that in Mexico, that boxing fans there wouldn't overwhelmingly say Canelo won the first fight. It's all part of a myth that GGG fans started a while back claiming that Mexican fans like GGG more than Canelo. GGG does have a fanbase in SoCal where there's a lot of Mexican Americans, but to assume that most of those fans would say GGG won is just guesswork. There's no hard evidence to support such a claim.

 

Should of unified in 2020 or 2021 against Andrade, both with DAZN and Andrade wanted it. Then this Murata fight could be for 3 beltsi didnt forget about triple g talking about "all the belts"

 

Interesting aside, I noted that the Japanese promotion of Murata v GGG (on Amazon Prime???!!!) refer to GGG as a middleweight legend. Of course this is just promotion, but it sounds like he is highly respected internationally.

 

And got busted trying to pull it off, then has the audacity to act affended when GGG called it on him. Even now he talks like its personal with GGG so personal that he had to wait four years for GGG to age. Winning by corruption has its benefits it seems.

 

Other than I worked in construction with alot of Hispanics from multiple trades and almost nobody thought Canelo won the first fight.

 

He has 20 middleweight title defenses 18 by KO, highlight reel KO'S Over 9 Ring mag ranked contenders, KO'S of 18 if counting Alphabet contenders. Many believe he has wins over today's premier boxer, so yeah I'd say he's respected unless your a jealous, threatened Canelo fan.

 

What was your sample size? How many Hispanics did you ask? How many of them were Mexican?

Where was this? SoCal? In America? To the best of your recollection, how many said they thought GGG won, how many said they thought Canelo won, how many weren't sure who won, didn't have an opinion on it or saw it as a draw?

 

Canelo steps up, fights GGG twice, beats him, in the exact way that GGG asked for it (Mexican Style). After doing all that, somehow he's still accused of ducking him. I can't think of any fighter in history who fights the boogeyman TWICE then still gets accused of ducking him. What a riot! But I love it, keep it coming. I can taste the tears of GGG fans. They are truly scarred for life over what Canelo did to him.

 

They were Mexican American in USA, I remember everybody thought GGG won the first fight, then maybe one said something different, then the others would say b.s. Canelo got his a#$ kicked. This was a conversation at break time before the 2nd fight l believe. Only the most obsessed odd Canelo fan would even argue against GGG winning the first fight. As for the 2nd fight, from what I remember some thought GGG won, some thought draw would have been fair, and some were ok with the decision.

 

wba regular defenses are not real. he has 11 defenses
