Does beating Cotto or Lemieux do anything for Golovkin's legacy?

I don't think it does but just to say he unified the belts. But the belts don't mean nothing it's who you fight.


Golovkin could ''dare to be great'' and go up in weight to create a legacy. He's at the point that he's 33 and hasn't fought the best competition but it's not his fault. He's just fighting the guys in his division.


The middleweight division is weak. I mean if he fought Lemiuex it would be an exciting fight for how long it lasts. Even though Lemieux will get his chin smashed to pieces. He does have a punchers chance.


I just think he should just test the waters at 168 as he's too good for the rest of the middleweight division.


There's no Hagler there for him to fight. There's no real defining fight for him and i think Andre Ward would be a great fight.


And for the people saying Golovkin shouldn't go up. Well, he doesn't have to obviously as he's not obligated to do so. But, if he did it would do more for his legacy than if he didn't.


What's beating a blown up welterweight gonna do for his career? He would beat Cotto easy.

Sugar Ray Robinson went upto light heavy and lost due to dehydration problems. He retired on his stool.


I mean what happens if the fighter can take his punch? Murray said his power wasn't as good as advertised but he hit very hard. I don't buy he hits harder than top heavyweights at all. If he did then he'd have laid Murray out early.


Murray had rounds where he had positives where he was making it harder for Golovkin. Murray does not have big power but he is durable.





It will take a top fighter to beat Golovkin but beating Cotto would mean nothing.


I mean he could fight Cotto if Cotto would ever get in the ring with him and beat him and then move up. Or unify and then move up. Maybe that's the plan down the line.

 

I don't care about the hall of fame. A legacy fight doesn't mean it has to be attached to the hall of fame.


Robinson went up from welter and he's only an inch with lifts taller than Golovkin and has a skinnier frame.

This is new school stuff. No catchweights no bull****. If Golovkin is any good fight the man at 168 where there's another top fighter on his level or better waiting for him.


The Daniel Geales of this world don't cut it. He'll be remembered in the end for a guy who fought no big names and feasted on b class opposition at the end of his career.


All the alphabet belts don't mean nothing. One belt meant something where they had to fight mandatories and fight the no 1 contenders. It means nothing these days with all the ducking non stop and excuse making.


He wants to fight Floyd the smaller man. What difference is that when Ward wants to fight a guy 8 pounds lower?


The 8 pounds wieght difference won't mean nothing. He fought Dirrell and Bute in the ams naturally bigger men.


Cotto is a blown up welter and Lemieux prolly has a glass chin who has a bit of power.


He'll end his career with perhaps an Canelo Alvarez on his resume and Cotto. The rest will be fillers like Stevens...etc...


Unless he goes up....

 

I just want to see him fight someone who has a chance of beating him.


The guys he fights have no chance of winning. 160 and 154 are feast divisions.


He needs to move up where the better fighters are.

 

If he wants to be known as a great fighter fight the best not b level opponents or blown up welters.


He's feasted on nobodies so far.


If he doesn't move up at the end of his career he can say he fought Cotto and Lemiuex i guess. Unless someone else comes along.


There's no Nigel Benns for him to fight there. No real point in him staying much longer at middleweight.

 

So do you want him to feast on b level opposition for the rest of his career?



When it's all said and done they'll say he fought nobody.



Look at all the ATG's they fought other ATG's. Where's the Leonards to the Haglers, Where's the Durans on his record. Where's a fighter who can push him to his limit to show how really good he actually is?


Only at 168 you will have fighters who will give him trouble and who have the chance of beating him.


No one at 160 can beat him.


And he fought Bute and Dirrell who are naturally bigger men than him in the ams.


8 pounds is nothing it's just pussies who make excuses up.

 

DeGale is taller and a much better boxer than Lemieux?


Also an Olympic Gold Medalist.


Aslo has a better resume than Lemiuex.



He also could beat Golovikin and is tricky and an awkward customer.
