HBO and media backed the wrong fighters

Briedis better than Loma and GGG, are you high? Both guys are levels above Briedis.


As it stands I think those guys rank like this:

Loma
GGG
Kovalev
Usyk
Beterbiev

Once Beterbiev collects more good wins and Usyk beats a couple of legit HWs they’re in the argument.

 

All HBO cared about when they were in the boxing buisness was ratings and money. And no EE fighters were bigger than the trio of GGG Loma And Kovalev. Nobody can deny that they did big buisness for HBO.

 

3 of these 4 (Usyk, Beterbiev, Pirog) and Brieadis too, didn't seek a fully US-based career for different reasons. If they did, they quite probably would be hyped OK.

 

No but if you could send me some of whatever you’re smoking that would be great. Has to be some good ****.

 

Would have been nice to see more of DM. But at the time he was fighting, there weren't but a couple of EE fighters on HBO/SHO. Those who were relocated to the states IIRC. And DM stayed in Germany for the most part. But different landscape now.

 

Loma was overated not hyped as ggg tho

Loma is a 3 division champ has better names than ggg 'entire resume .

 

Yeah. Back then, if HBO couldn't send their announcers, they tended to avoid a fight. Showtime was better at just showing fights from abroad and having their announcing team in the studio back in the U.S.

There was a channel called SportsChannel America that would show Dariusz and Henry Maske title fights from Germany, but they tended to be three or four months after the actual fights took place.

 

This implies GGG wasn’t one of the most avoided and ducked boxers in his prime. He was.

GGG could only face guys who were willing to sign on the dotted line at the time. A lot of boxers waited until he got older and slower before stepping in to face him.

 

Bull ****.. GGG was on camera saying he wouldnt fight a ww and turned around and fought Kell Brook who was made to move up 2 weight classes to get the fight. He also said Lara brought no money to the table but went and fought Dominic wade and willy monroe. Cnon man dont make it seem like no one wanted to sign the contract to fight him.

 

396 wins, 1 loss as an amateur. 2 olympic gold medals. That's not overrated. That's unheard of!

Someone tell me how you can ignore that record. Of course everyone was right to back Loma. You don't just ignore statistics like that.

And as for GGG, he beat Canelo in the first fight. The second was much closer. The judges screwed him. He is the real deal. 2 close fights against one of the best (unfortunately) fighters in boxing right now, and he was on his way out! A way past it, old GGG had two very very close fights against Canelo. Surely that's worth something?

They were absolutely SPOT ON to back Loma and GGG.

 

That sounds familiar. Maske had an interesting career. Good fighter, then left early for some reason. Wish some of these guys would have come to the US. Worked some for Jirov and Oleg Maskaev (An older fave of mine)

 

You are on high.
Are you from these experts that had posted in forums, YT comments, how Dorticos, previously also Glowacki will KTFO him etc?

How do you evalue these levels? OKey, if in pros.
Where GGG is level above Briedis?
Because you think so? OKey, I think that GGG is level below Glowacki, not alone Briedis.
I do have rights on my own opinion to post that I think : GGG is level below Dorticos and Tabiti too.

 

Bar Usyk, I don't see the same consistency from the others. Beterbiev ... maybe. It is to be seen.

 

His best win is jacobs unofficially canelo that's all he's never moved up or taken a chance just fought three smaller guys in a row
