Golovkin has 20... 20-1-1 in MW world title fights. It is what it is. Just stats, it doesnt mean this guy could beat that guy. Hopkins is 20-3-1...
It was a joke, but don't act like Hopkins doesn't stand out among their staff members, definitely the 2nd most popular guy on the team.
A No-Contest isn't supposed to count as anything other than a No-Contest. If there was no contest, how could that count as a defense?
Hopkins was just the IBF MW Champ from April of '95 - April of '01. He had already failed in two attempts to win that belt, L12 Jones and D12...
Hopkins wasn't The Champ in all of his MW World Title fight defenses either.
Funny how he (Hopkins) works for the promotion team for the guy who "beat" the guy who had a chance to beat his record.
I included a list of boxing writers and boxing people and who they thought won... overwhelmingly in Golovkin's favor. Oh well, it is what it is.
Harold Lederman (HBO Sports): 116-112 Golovkin Brian Campbell (CBS sports): 116-112 Golovkin Dan Rafael (ESPN): 114-114 draw Stephen A. Smith...
1. It doesn't matter what a fighter's face looks like after a fight. 2. It doesn't matter if a fighter fights the way he said he was going to...
Golovkin's team think they won, as they should... they are being polite because they want that 3rd fight. It was a great fight, the 2 best MWs...
I had it 116-112 for Golovkin but I agree with you. The only way Golovkin will ever get a win over Alvarez is if he knocks him out. Canelo gets...
It's a no-win situation for Canelo. If Golovkin wins he gets full credit but if Canelo wins he is a cheat.
4-2-1
Prime Bonecrusher Smith was sometimes very good. He's about 2" taller than Tommy and has a 6" reach advantage. They would both come in around...
Mayweather isn't beating Leonard or Hearns either. I would pick him by close decision over Duran though.
