If Golovkin was American...

GGG looks like a genuine nice guy, who had a successful amateur career, so we know he is a technical boxer, who is a really big puncher and bring excitment, and who is freaking from boratkistan.

Heck, who doesn't love him!

Of course, if you are a fan of some other boxer who is getting shadowed by GGG, who has everything to be a superstar, you might hate him. But then you are not just a fan, you are also a hater.

 

You're actually trying to reason with these guys, using facts? :shock:


:rofl

 

Curtis stevens isn't being hyped because he sucks? That could probably be why...

 

What about Quillin, Alexander, and Bradley, and Ward, and Trout and Lara and Russell Jr for starters. Why aren't they hyped?

 

I don't know much about Quillin. Bradley, Trout and Lara are usually not that exciting. Ward is a snooze fest. He looks like the nice guy and you can almost not see how political he is the match making. That "almost" makes you hate him.

Russell Jr on the other hand is quite exciting and should indeed diserve more hype.

 

They are all hyped to death, more so than golovkin.

 

If GGG was american nobody would care still. This country only praises you if you Hispanic, Latino. or Asian. And I don't mean the old whites who praises Marciano because he is white. If you aren't Hispanic, Latino, or Asian this country doesn't get a **** about you if you box. With the exception of Floyd Mayweather who is only known because he fights mostly Hispanics and Latinos

 

When's there's only 3 Americans in the p4p list? Money, ward and broner.

 

That doesn't seem to work so well for Broner... He's in the p4p top 5 most hated in here, i'm not saying there are no reasons to dislike the guy, just that your reasoning is wrong.

 

Yes it's a real shame that things like nationality can effect how you are perceived. Imagine how popular Pac, Duran, Lewis, Tito and many more would have been regarded if they were American instead of being ignored....oh wait a minute!

What a load of bollocks plenty of fighters who are not American have had huge success in the US making huge sums of cash and gaining tremendous kudos for their ability.

Look and Andre Ward, is being American helping him at all, where was the hype for him going into the Super 6? Where is the big US following now he is the top dog and number 2 P4P?

People who use nationality as reasoning for an opinion, when the facts are clearly contradictory come off as being incredibly ignorant.

 

atsch:rofl


What the heck are you talking about? Lennox was not popular at all. He was in spotlight because there was still remains from Holyfield and Tyson.

 

Think you are missing the main race America supports when it comes to boxing.

 

No the main race this country supports are hispanics. Just look at what HBO, Showtime and Espn shows every single week. Not white or black american fighters that is for sure. In the real world everything is about Hispanic, Asians and Latinos in this country and boxing is the same way.

 

What planet are you on? Everything in America is ran by the Whites and the Jews. In boxing, hispanics are shown cause there are more good hispanic fighter's than from other races (in quantity; not necessarily quality), and because there are more hispanic fans than from the other races. That's just good business.

 

There are so many shitty posts in this thread, it's not even funny.
