Golovkin discussion thread.

Geale and Murray became irrelevant as fast as they became relevant. Geale is probably his best win if he gets his ass kicked by Cotto will you still view him as some great win?

 

I'm pretty sure Maidana and Pulie are better than anyone GGG's fought. And at least Broner is testing himself anytime the idea of GGG going up in weight comes up all you hear is excuses.

 

If he loses to Cotto he'll still be a top 10 MW. But I'm picking him to beat Cotto so no worries there.

 

He moved up because he outgrew the divisions, not because he was some conquering hero. He was fighting at 145 when he was at SFW.

 

Paulie? Coming off a robbery over Cano, just before getting whipped out by Porter. Paulie was done. And still got robbed.

And he was schooled by journeyman Maidana.

 

It remains to be seen just look at the top 10 MWs there is not one prime quality fighter in the division, GGG beating up dude on the last leg of there career is not impressive especially since the majority have not and will never do anything relevant in boxing.
Golovkin may very well be the truth got to prove it first and at this point he hasn't.

 

I like GGG a lot but I got to admit. The resume is a little thin.

 

You guys don't think Murray was a top opponent?

He was only the unrecognized lineal champ and second-best fighter at 160 next to GGG. No big deal or anything.

 

And **** a guy like Pacquiao has been weighing in at 147 since he was at 126 so what GGG comes in as a LHW yet the idea of him fighting any SMW is a scary idea to most.

 

Comes in as a LHW? What are you talking about? The most he has ever weighed on fight night was 173 and his 5 fight average is around 168. You can't just make things up because you feel like it....

I mean come on...GGG is cleaning out the division. None of those guys would be better than his wins over Geale and Murray, with the exception of Cotto (solely because he has the lineal title which should have been Murray's all along). The best guy at 154 is Alvarez, and his promoter just got done saying 2 years til that happens. The best guy at 168 is Froch, who doesn't want to risk it. The second best guy at 168 is Ward, who has been off for like 2 years and can't even make 168. He also can't sell out an arena in his own backyard.

 

Isn't 173 LHW, what is false.

 

Oh ya, most LHWs come in at 173 on fight night. Great point :good

And a 5 fight average of 168 makes him a SMW right, because most SMWs don't rehydrate an ounce and come in at 168 on fight night?

 

I'm not sure that's how that works bro...
