    I will keep it as simple as I can for you simpleton:

    Here is your claim :

    "Any fighter can lose on any given night, be it an injury, a perfect punch landing, bad judging, or just a bad night."

    For that statement to hold true then :

    "Any fighter can win on any given night, be it an injury, a perfect punch landing, bad judging, or just a bad night."

    They are mutually inclusive statements.

    To put that in it's simplest terms for a dumb arse like you it means you can't have the first statement without the second.

    One last time;

    -A Good/Great fighter can lose a fight at any given night, shet happens (example Lennox Lewis loses to Rahman level fighter). But if hes good or great those nights are rare or very far in between.

    -A Bum/C level fighter can win against a good opponent at any given night, shet happens (example Kirkland Laing beats Roberto Duran). But his wins over top fighters will be very rare and very far in between.

    Your fail was epic enough. But your ban was just cream on the cake.

    Golovkin > Tszyu.

    The Tszyu kid was always highly overrated. His best win is Zab Judah.

    GGG. Especially after he puts Canelo's lights out and then breaks the middleweight title defense record.

    But golovkin best win is Jacobs. A very close win.
    Tszyu win is Judah by highlight reel second round KO that will be watched 50 years from now. Plus Judah is arguably better than Jacobs were and probably will be.

    Tszyu's career is over, Golovkins isn't.
    Tszyu lost to an average Vince Phillips in Tszyu's PRIME, Golovkin has never lost as a pro to date.

    Tszyu exposing Judah as a Glass Jawed limited fighter was hilarious.

    We're talking about ethnicity genius. Kostya's Mother was an ethic Russian as is Golovkin's Father, there are pics of Golovkin Father easily available and he's as white as the snow. As for magic dirt theory and paper citizenship it's irrelevant, Kostya loved Australia so much he moved back to Russia lol

    How could I not see that before, it all makes sense now!


    You google the word enthnicity and then, if you still think Golovkin is ethnic Russian, revert back to my comment about France and Africa.

    GGG is 1/4 Korean according to this article about him. His father is ethnically Russian and his mother is half Korean, half Russian, because her father who was full Korean married a Russian woman (ie. her mother and GGG's grandmother).

    http://kore.am/augustseptember-2015-cover-story-gennady-golovkin/

    'Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin was born on April 8, 1982, in Karagandy, Kazakhstan, when the central Asian country was still a member of the Soviet Union.

    Koreans started migrating to the far eastern region of Russia in the 1850s. They became the largest minority in the Russian empire and gained the right to citizenship under the Russo-Korean treaty. Starting from 1926 up until World War II, however, the Korean minority, known asKoryo sadam, were treated suspiciously by the Russian government for fear they were spying for the Japanese empire, Korea’s colonizer at the time.

    In 1930, Koreans in Russia were forcibly transferred to central Asia. Up to as many as 100,000 Koreans were sent to Kazakhstan and three-quarters as many to Uzbekistan.

    Golovkin’s maternal grandfather was part of this relocation. Born in Korea but raised in Russia since he was age 1, Sergey Pak was sent to Kazakhstan, where he met and married a Russian woman. In 1947, they had a daughter, Elizaveta Pak, Golovkin’s mother.

    The boxer’s father, named Gennady Ivanovich Golovkin, was an industrial coal miner of Russian heritage, while Elizaveta worked as an assistant in a chemical lab. “My mother told me that I have never seen my grandpa. But my mom, she spoke with him a lot,” recalls the athlete.'
