Golovkin is beating the will out of these fake tough guys. and it's awesome.

He's a little meatball now....I saw him and Casamayor this past summer at Kingsway gym in New York where my old trainer still works. Extremely humble guys compared to how they where back in the day.

 

Reminds me of the saying...

Barking dogs don't bite.

 

Actually I felt Stevens was not that easy a fight for Golovkin. He landed some heavy leather on GGG and ate a whole bunch in return, and kept chugging along as best he could until the stoppage. He was simply outclassed, but he hung in there to the best of his ability. Dominic Wade is more like the archetypal "street hood" that got his ass put in a sling.

 

Hood toughness is childsplay compared to ring toughness

 

Curtis Stevens showed heart. Wade Monroe on the other hand.

 

Afforded a great opportunity? This seems like a cut/paste response that you've reserved for white people. This kind of rhetoric is well reserved for those you perceive as "privileged", yet hardly applies to GGG. He came from the poorest background imaginable, with an added barrier of having to escape his native country to have a quality of life you have given to you on a silver platter.

 

"Hi, my name is tinman and I like to stroke power punchers' off in my spare time"

 

Reserved for white people? You're joking right.....do you even know my background? How do you even interpret my post as being geared towards a certain socio-ethnic groups? No offense but you're terribly off base here, disenfranchisement hit people of all creeds within the prototypical ghettos in NYC regardless of your cultural bloodline . Please stop making assumptions and pull back a bit no one is attacking your color so cut self-righteous bullsh*t, I accepted the fact that the TS thought I may have been over analyzing his observation but this response seems like an attack. GGG coming from a "poor" background isn't a surprise I'm just not sure how you've linked that to me (or Curtis) be handed opportunities on a silver platter? I'm not sure where you're from but growing up in New York is a unique perspective and like I mentioned earlier being "poor" is all relative, I'm sure GGG realized he was talented he was given solid instruction, family support, community support and a nationalistic sense of duty and pride despite being financially disfavored. Of course there are distinct and separate differences that I can mention but I'm not sure they would be applicable since I doubt you'd be familiar. Conceptually speaking I can understand why you wrote the post but it lacks accuracy, tangibility which I'm certainly no stranger to when speaking abstractly.....anywho forgive me for rambling, just needed to let that off my chest.........

P.S. do you really think "white people" require an canned response that seems a bit biased no?

 

Now ask him at 160lbs who had better one punch power Julian Jackson, GGG, Hagler or Ketchel (not much footage on the guy other than the Jack Johnson fight)

 

That's every boxer from every third world country. Nothing new. He has however been coddled by universum, K2, and HBO.

 

Only an armchair would write what you wrote because you don't understand the true mindset of a fighter. You try to understand the psyche of a boxer, even at times doing the opposite of what the fighter under pressure did in a past great fight by saying i would've done this lol...but you can't because you've never had a ****en fight in your life lol.

Anyway, I remember this Thai boxing fan saying the same thing way back on aol boxing about Filipino boxers talking **** right after Singsurat made Pac quit. He said Filipino fighters talk **** until they get beat the **** up and when he said it, i kinda brushed it off. Rings true today doesn't it Tin lol... It doesn't. Well gee lol.

 

Certain fighters talk to motivate themselves and possibly their team....I'm not much of a fan but I can't knock it. the only time it truly becomes entertaining is when both guys hold a substantial amount of hate for one another.....Tyson and Green was hella funny.

 

You hit the nail on the head in your first sentence. The TS's ulterior motives always leak out because he's a **** poor poster. The TS once said that Marco Antonio Barrera would've beaten Floyd at 130.
