    Yep
    All Hype jobs nowadays originate from that region.

    His dad was Russian but he's obviously not from Russia. To some people that doesn't change anything.

    TBH it doesn't really affect how i personally see GGG. Just his fans lol

    And you are right, he looks very talented, but for me personally I will reserve judgement until we see him against some better opposition.

    Hell of an exciting fighter though

    2 years from now GGG will either be exactly where he is now having fought nobody, or sitting next to Lucien Bute after ebing exposed as the world's biggest boxing hype.

    I'm so sick of this fighter, but it's not his fault since there are people who try to make him become the biggest hype job here.

    He has fought nobody but bums and that's why I'm sick of him.

    Truth! Dude's like 32 and has yet to fight a quality opponent. Until proven otherwise, he is pure hype like Arthur Abraham and Lucian Bute before him.

    No, what I am sick of is fighters ducking him. And I can't stand people berating him because guys won't step up and fight him. It's not his fault.

    If he is not as good as many of us think he is, then so be it. But at least give him a shot before he is too old.

    Two years ago he fought in Verona, today he's fighting at MSG. Two years from now he'll be a PPV star. So good luck with your predictions.

    GGG is one of the most exciting fighters, that's why I'm not sick of him, but I'm sick of
    boring and featherfisted boxers like mayweather and ward.

    Said before and say it again GGG probs had weakest run of opening 10 world title defenses of all time.

    Fighting his best opponent by far next, who happens to be the 2nd best middleweight in Australia maybe after this he can claim to be the best 160lber in Oz LOL.

    Bet 4th best guy in England and 2nd best guy in California are shaking in their boots.

    He said that he'll fight anyone from 154 - 168, but I have not seen him fighting anybody at 168 yet.

    Ward and Froch are possible opponents over there.
