Floyd "Canelo beats GGG easy! Stops him!"

His chin has been proven?, against who?.

 

PBF is almost 40 and been out of the ring for well over a year he has nothing to prove here. He's an ATG and the best fighter of the era. It's GGG that needs to prove himself 34 and one of the worst resumes in the sport today. If you want to see something funny look at where PBF was at 34 and where GGG is at 34.

 

No we don't. How much did Golovkin make fighting Lemieux on PPV compared to Alvarez vs Angulo?.

 

You are correct it's not about Floyd just saw you mention that when realistically if more guys were like him we'd probably have more good fights. Agree and disagrees about 140 he fought the weakest champ but the actual champ lost to a guy who said flat out he wasn't ready. Also Baldomir wasn't the weakest champ he was the only champ couldn't really name anyone who was doing better at that time. Within 5 fights at 147+ he beat the last two true undisputed WW champs, a top 2/3 JMW Champ and the undisputed JWW champ name me the guys doing that today in a 5 fight 2 year span just saying.

As far as Trout you say he has one good win, but that is one more than any GGG opponent has. Lemuiex and Murray have never beaten a single quality fighter in there career Lemuiex didn't even beat a champ for his paper title, Murray has never been or beaten a champ ever his claim to fame is hanging tough and losing to a version of Martinez that got KO' d by the same Cotto these guys are bashing.
I could go through his whole list of victories and wouldn't be able to find one guy who has a win as good as Trout over Cotto.

 

Agree. Why would he consider fighting Alvarez when he's making easy money fighting tomato cans?. He has the support of idiots, so why bother take any risks?.

 

Your questions only expose your lack of knowledge and existence in the sport back when Cotto was rising in the sport, even then, you fail to acknowledge that Martinez was indeed the WBC incumbent champion at Middleweight and the man in the division when Cotto fought him which only reveals ignorance rather than actual knowledge. Who were the champions at Light Welterweight when Cotto was active there, do you even know why he moved up to Welterweight?. Again, if you didn't exist back then to know the actual situation, that's your problem and I'm not here to educate you for hating someone you know nothing about.

His best wins are Corley, Malignaggi(undefeated), Torres(undefeated), Quintana(undefeated, remember what he did to Williams when they fought?), Maussa(undefeated, remember what he did to Harris?), Mosley(fight was 50/50 to the general public back when you didn't exist, remember what Mosley went on to do against Margarito?), Clottey(remember how hyped he was leading up to this fight?), Concreto and Martinez. The fact that you only brought up a few wins with complete discredit all over them exposes your hating deluded agenda.

The only one well managed here is Golovkin. The man is yet to score a single meaningful fight and check out the hype surrounding him. It has reached levels where he's making demands even though his biggest wins are all tune-up quality tomato cans.

 

I thought this was about quality of opponent?

Now it's about money?

 

It's about both. If Lemieux had any quality whatsoever, you will have a lot more people interested in purchasing that fiasco of an event. Considering all the hype surrounding that fight compared to Alvarez' fight with Angulo, sales should have been higher, right?. Fans do seek quality when purchasing PPVs, just in case you didn't know. Remember how much Mayweather vs Berto made?.

 

But Trout's resume is packed full of journeymen wins with the lone Cotto win the obvious stand out.

One win doesn't make a fighter elite, if that was the case Kirkland Laing would be and so would Zahir Raheem....

Trout hasn't a lot of options left now at 154, he's not a big name if he's as good as people say he is why not move up to 160?

 

To bring up feather fisted Paulie as a great win shows how much you love you some Cotto. Chop chop is a solid win but nothing to write home about as were Torres and Maussa and Quintana.

Mosley was faded, Sergio was crippled and Margo had been banned and battered by PAC. It was close with clottey who I never bought was a good as some posters would have us believe.

I know plenty about Miguel. I'm just not a fanboy.

 

You don't need to be a fan boy to be objective, you just don't need to be a deluded idiotic hater.

 

No I don't and don't care, but you are comparing two of the sports biggest stars with the biggest fan bases against a Kazakh, who has little English, who's fighting in the USA.

 

So, what quality did Liam Smith have to be involved in a fight that sold more than(maybe even close to double) the biggest fight of the year which supposedly determined the p4p king?

 

I could care less if you care, that's reality for you if your brain can fathom and accept it as it is. Pacquiao couldn't speak English either and people bought his PPVs and in large numbers even before he became overly famous because fought serious opposition.

Mayweather, the biggest name in the sport by far, almost sold as much fighting Berto as Alvarez did fighting Angulo. Why?, because Berto's quality as an opponent was a joke. I didn't use that example to compare them to Golovkin, I used it to show you that quality does influence sales just as much as hype does.

 

Read my post again before attempting to be a smartass. I clearly said "It's about both" at the very start of the post, right?.
