Is Gennady Golovkin UK's most loved fighter?

He should obliterate Brook we have weight divisions for a reason.

It wouldn't be as big a hiding as GGG would get against a Wilder or AJ, I think those boys would kill GGG

 

Seriously this thread alone shows how little you know about British boxing, you absolute bellend :rofl

 

I'll give you one name just to prove you are completely wrong with all this "NO big name" and "no Brit arouses interest", you really have no idea what you're talking about and then you can go away and read about what actually happens here.

Anthony Joshua :hi:

Edit: I would like to add, Joshua sold out the O2 in less than 90 seconds, I thought I'd mention it because you mentioned 11 minutes for a Brook Vs Golovkin and obviously thought that was impressive.

Good night, oh and RIP your thread, it just died :verysad

 

yeah I know what you mean,it's funny how nobody ever looks at it that way,a middleweight fighting a cruiser or a heavyweight?

GGG will feel a lot of love from the UK crowd for sure but as much as I enjoy Golovkin and his style of fighting this match up which I was originally excited about has diminished since I seen their size next to each other,all that tosh about Kell Brook walking about heavier than GGG,the pics tell a different story and GGG is miles bigger,one looks a genuine middleweight and the other a Welterweight,there's no other way of putting a spin on it is there?
I reckon AJ is the UK favourite right now and will most likely stay that way until he loses a few times.

 

As a boxing fan rather than being a fan of the person and based of his last fight Anthony Crolla is my current favourite UK boxer,the guy has heart and some skill?

 

20,000 phone operators? Think about it. What are you posting on now?

Why the hate for British fighters we have some good talent over here.

 

Froch and Hatton were exciting but also they were world champions when we had so few in the UK now we have 13 Champions so no one fighter stands out unless you like there style or come from the city your fav fighter comes from, Arguably you could make a case for Josh Warrington having Hatton like support and he has not even got a world title.

 

Are you serious? Even my Nan knows who Joshua is.

 

Do you think Brook vs Canelo would have sold out any slower? Do you think GGG vs Liam Smith would have sold out just as fast on Boxnation? It wasn't all about GGG. It was as much to do with Matchroom's farcical ticketing as anything else. There would have been enough actual boxing fans to snap them up in 10 minutes. The ones not being siphoned off to Stubhub of course.

The only boxer casuals really care about in the UK is AJ. The only other fight in recent years that piqued their interest was Froch vs Groves. They haven't cared about Groves since, although it's a shame Froch retired when he could have capitalised on the interest.

 

no big name british fighter? smh casual...
the uk has the biggest name in boxing right now. Anthony Joshua.

pfft no big name....

 

Phone operators? What century are you living in? This isn't a competition on Live & Kicking...

I'd imagine they had some pretty powerful servers and plenty of people online. Then there's the tickets that go straight to the reseller market but if we go into detail about that the thread miraculously disappears.
