    Who’s excusing what?

    I’m just pointing out your failures to be straight across the board.

    Anyway I’m off out with the wife and kids for a curry, you should try getting out, maybe you can invite GGG out of the flat he’s inhabiting in your head.

    Scroll a few posts up and watch yourself excuse the joke Rubio fight as a “mandatory”. Allen was a mandatory too.

    What flat?. I am on vacation relaxing in my farm. Ever heard of the iPad Pro and the keyboard case?. Look it up, it’s worth more than your car. :lol: Like seriously, who would brag about going for curry with the wife and kids...

    No offense taken and none intended though man, enjoy your time with your family. :thumbsup:

    You are very reasonable, but i still cant believe, that you can be so shot, that you cant throw a single power punch in 11 rounds. He took multiple flush shots from huge LHW Yarde, was tired and still knocked him out with his jab.

    In fight with Canelo he looked like he just woke up from coma. Its hard for me to believe, this fight wasnt a WWE **** show.

    Funny he was only shot in the 11th round but before that canelo could not do anything? LMAO! and he dropped his hands to his waist and turned his head anticipating the punch. Lame.

    How many greats at their own respective weight had to move or did move up?

    The quality of opposition at 160 when Hopkins was reigning was equally as poor as GGG, it has every bearing on them as middleweights.

    What Hopkins did after is or should be judged separately and Golovkin should not be held to that as there have been many greats at 160 who never moved up.

    And scroll through the posts and at no time have I claimed Rubio was a great win but it was solid.

    And you’ve also skipped the part where Hopkins has to face Allen thrice, the division was that poor.

    Kovalev was 2-3 punches from getting KTFO'd by Yarde and retiring. Then he had 3 weeks of rest before going back into training. But you can probably count those 2 weeks as him binge eating and drinking to celebrate. Then we find out that there's a rehydration clause. Kovalev misses weight and comes into the fight w/ zero power.

    People who are full of excuses and can't give credit when it's do or admit when they're wrong are trash in general. Sadly it's a common theme on this forum.

    If people are looking for a dive then look no further than the Rubio fight. Barely got grazed by a shot and flopped to the floor

    Ye, Canelo himself has said in numerous interviews that he himself wants to be retired by 35 because fighters at that age are deteriorated. So it's not just Canelo haters saying it

    :lol:

    Hopkins dared to be great. Golovkin only fought good opposition in the last two years. No Lara, Charlo, Froch, etc.

    Or u could just say "I'm crap at picking at times & got this one horribly wrong cause I didn't listen to BB, also credit to Nelo 4 successfully moving up 2 classes and beating a much larger faded champ - but a legit champ nonetheless" - and then you come off little less like a hole between Scarlett Johanssons' butt cheeks. And I'm even on your side per Nelo cherry picking, but credit where it's due, my young padawan, give credit where it's due.
