    Dont know why you even bother with idiots like him

    You dont respect GGG then you either DKSAB or are trolling. It's as simple as that

    First time I ever saw GGG aggravated by an opponent, and visibly frustrated.
    Not only b/c it was displeasing the audience, but also b/c it was effective.

    As for the weight thing........Had he been bouncing back and forth from 154-160 the past 3 yrs, he could have FORCED fights with Trout, Lara, and Canelo, and made Floyd toss his LMW title in the trash.

    He's a small MW, was in the AMs as well, and could still easily fight at 154 if called upon.

    Going to SMW, adding 10lbs of lean muscle, would be the END of his MW ambitions, and put him at a disadvantage of the SanchezRamirez's, Dirrels, Wards, and Oosthuzens of the SMW division. Guys who fight no less than 185 unofficially. :think

    I like GGG because he is a nice guy that doesn't talk trash, or brag about money, or pimp women, or act like a thug.

    The fact he can beat down anyone with those rotten traits is why I love him ;)

    Wow, wonder how many would've watched had it only been the one night broadcast. Great to see three G steadily creeping up in popularity, hopefully soon his value will be equal to threat he poses and we can start seeing better fights involving him.

    Nearly 1 million viewers for an afternoon broadcast and nearly 1.5 million for a primetime replay. IMPRESSIVE!

    HBO brass must be euphoric...


    Such a shame he lost at least two years of his career by signing with Universum first.

    He signed with Universum in 2005-2006 and appeared first time on HBO in 2012. So it's 5 or 6 years of lost time.

    Yes but his career progressed okay from 2006 up until he got into title contention at the end of 2009 early 2010 when they started protecting Sturm from him then N'Dam kept backing out.

    Cotto needs to be a man and fight GGG at 160. It will be a brutal beating.

    Ok ******, time to go to class.
    Pay attention boy.
    Proksa-middleweight his whole career and a 70% KO ratio.
    Rosado-beat quillen but robbed in NYC from a BS cut.
    Macklin-career and top 5 middleweight-big puncher-
    pushed prime sergio to the brink.
    Stevens-a 168'lber moving down known for murderous power
    and a guy you picked to KO GGG.
    Geale-career middleweight world titlist known for good boxing
    and mobility.
    Rubio-giant middleweight who never got hurt once against
    weight cheater JJC jr. Former world titlist. huge puncher
    Murray-giant middleweight without a legit loss on his record

    All 7 of these were ranked in the RINGS top 10 at the time GGG
    spanked them. These fights weren't close and none of them went
    the distance.

    Now that you've been educated, do you want to retract that
    last post?
