    In his early days, he was known to knock out guys with a feint. It's distasteful to suggest that he has to fight anyone else to prove his greatness - I, for one, would never put other fighters' health in jeopardy by saying they should fight Golovkin. His greatness is obvious.

    Do you think it's a coincidence that the likes if Hagler, Monzon, Robinson and Greb chose to be born in different eras so they didn't have to fight him? N'Kijam would be proud of their ducking.

    just NO... you would have to move at least 3 divisions(up or down) win at least 8 world titles and have fought the best of the best at those weights..... Not even close..

    He would have to beat Floyd mayweather at 154 and beat ward at 168 and maybe even Hopkins at 175 to ven dream at making the ATG list...:bbb

    no doubt. They said, Sugar Ray Robinson ... you can have technology, fight once a year, die rich, but you have to face Golovkin ... he said, I'll take the bum of the month, fight 36 times a year for peanuts, and never make what I deserve, just don't throw me in there with GGG.

    More interesting was that he believes fights will be made soon.

    The hype this guy is getting is ****ing ridiculous. I personally think he could turn out to be a great fighter, but at this moment in time the best person he has beaten is macklin, and people are talking about him as if he is the second coming.

    I genuinely don't understand what is going on with all this golovkin worshipping

    Maybe so, but he hasn't bought into it. He'll still fight any MW in their hometown, for peanuts.

    Hey so did you watch this video finally? So what's your feedback?

    Hearn is no different than any promoter, including Golovkin's.

    Seems more honest than most, at least in this case. As impressed I am with his honesty, I mostly wanted feedback on the content, from iceman or others.
