Picking up some losses, earning millions each fight and becoming a champion and a big star isn't that bad.
Abraham got exposed at the top level at 168 ie the Super Six Aside from that he has been fine at SMW GGG is at least a level above AA
I'm sure they aren't making hasty decisions to please people that unfairly hate Golovkin They might be doing so because of financial reasons though Or they might be doing so because they are confident that he'll do well I for one, do think he'll do well against Froch for sure Thats a good payday that I feel pretty strongly that Golovkin would not only win but look good in the process It would also enhance his legacy But staying at SMW might not end well for Golovkin
Mr. Triple G is going to pay for the damage he's done to you. I swear it. It's just not right. He's got you confusing NABF champion for P4P and using terms like "prime Edison Miranda". I don't like Mr. Triple G any more than you do. He forces people to say things like "Abraham has a better Middleweight resume" as a coping mechanism, even if we all know that can never be. Even if we all know that a severe underdog like Mr. Monroe would comfortably be a top five win on Mr. Abraham's 160 lb ledger. Where you're right is that Mr. Triple G's opponents all are tailor made for him. Some are movers. Some are sluggers. Some are brawlers. Some bigger. Some tough guys, others, not so much. Some are southpaws. They're all tailor made for him to knock out. As would be, sadly, Mr. Abraham. And the s.o.b. doesn't care how many innocent fans, like yourself, have their psyches ruined by it. For shame.
Abraham fought Lajuan Simon and won by 12rnd UD Golovkin Fought Lajuan Simon and won by KO 1 IF you think these two are in the same league - Shame on you!
lol.. People making it seem like Abraham turned into a bum at 168.. KOed Taylor ( who was good at the time), was coming on strong vs a good Dirrell, gave Ward a good fight. Only bad performance (during his peak) was vs Froch.
Abraham was a fearful puncher at MW and at 168 he looked like an average fighter. Completely neutralized by Dirrell (watch the fight, Abraham was easily outboxed), by Ward and by Froch. Abraham had issues vs. Stieglitz, a guy of this level he'd normally have decapitated by way of KO2 at MW. Abraham is no bum at 168 but his biggest asset (frightening power) has been taken away. GGG will have to deal with the same fate. Instead of folding like lawn chairs his SMW opponents will walk through his punches.
:yikes Abraham Ian Gardner UD12 (Golovkin beat him more clearly) Howard Eastman UD12 (former european champion) Velazco KO5 (former Champion) Kofi Jantuah UD12 (former light middleweight contender) Edison Miranda UD12 (2 time Contender) Lajuan Simon UD12 (Golovkin knocked him out) Golovkin Lajuan Simon KO1 (Abraham beat him on points) Ouma TKO10 (former WW champion) Macklin KO2 (3 time Contender) Geale TKO3 (former unified Champion) Murray TKO11 (3 time Contender) Rubio KO2 (interims Champion, former contender)
comparing GGG to a guy with a turtle-shell defense who throws wild 20 second flurries on the back and kidneys of his opponents, good one I agree though, I think Golovkin is too small for SMW, but if he's up to it, why not give it a try for more $$$
Some great ownage being dished out here. Nice work, fellas (good cop's post was a particularly good read, also nice resume comparison, kk17). I suspect if GGG fights Froch at SMW he's likely to head right back to MW afterward, regardless of the outcome. I don't think he's about to abandon the MW division.
I already made this point a few times before, it wouldn't shock me in the least if his power dissipates at SMW, that being said he's far more skilled than AA.
