    WTF where you doing in Killeen? Are you in the military? I thought you were British? BTW people haven't worn leather pants since the 80s WTF are you talking about? Must have seen a crack head walking down the street or something.

    I'm only messing I was in Killeen only for a few months years back, the wife's auntie married a marine way back when and it was a long holiday.....nice place. But i am being honest when we went to Houston we went into a predominantly "black" area and every other guy had leather pants on.....they where like YMCA extras. But i got to go to Galveston which was like a kind of boxing pilgrimage so to speak, being where Johnson was born.

    I think comparing GGG with Ali is so disrespectful in so many ways.

    GGG is a very good mw and deserve all time mention at least. I wouldnt call him "average" but the comparison is laughable.

    For real. Don't bother arguing with that weirdo Odins beard. It takes a special type of crazy to wake up early in the morning, on the opposite side of the planet obsessing over a man that don't know you. That the **** he's on.

    Golovkin got washed and there are some hurt feelings from the internet tiki torch tribe. It was a good fight, Im not mad either way.

    There's a lot of hurt feelings , specifically a lot of GGG fan hurt feelings. I can tell they are really struggling to cope with what happened. GGG has been dethroned though and he is no longer the MW King. Canelo is the New Unified MW King!

    Ali really was The Greatest of all Time. The establishment tried every way possible to derail his career but FAILED!!
    He was banned for 3 1/2 years on purely political reasons. Just imagine how great he would have been in those 2 1/2 years
    He refused to be enlisted on religious conscientious objector status. life long belief. HE could have left the country like Clinton did but stayed to face whatever they threw at him

    He was specifically comparing Canelo's win over GGG to Frazier's win over Ali.
