No reason to hate on Golovkin

When the GGG stuff really started getting on my nerves was when they were talking **** about Sergio Martinez. The guy has a history of taking on anybody except for the guys at 168 which makes perfect sense.

If you were to take his resume and split it in half, he'd still by far have the best resume in the division. But people want to come and praise and crown GGG for what? I think at this moment in time, he'd beat Sergio. After Sergio kicks Cotto's ass, he'll have no problem at all fighting GGG also.

and Andre Ward would jump at the opportunity to fight GGG. So I'd back off on trying to discredit him. Edwin Rodriguez is better than everybody on GGG's resume btw

 

Stevenson and Kovalev are waiting for legit challenges? How about fighting each other

And Ward wouldn't go down in weight to 160 because he physically can't, but GGG and his team have said multiple times that they plan to move up and they would beat anybody from 175 and below. So if they're saying they'll fight at 168, then Ward is saying "lets do it".

 

Ward actually does want to move up in weight since it'd be easier for him to cut weight. It's Virgil telling him to move up when his body tells him to. I don't see the issue with it. I hold that same belief for fighters like Danny Garcia, Mikey Garcia, Broner when he was at 135 (he didn't listen) and even GGG.

Ward is going to go to 175 eventually and those guys will be there, but once he's made that decision, there's no going back.

and I don't really think GGG is a coward. I just say that **** in retaliation to his fans throwing dirt at fighters greater than himself :good

 

Stevenson has made it easy for Ward, Stevenson said he would fight Ward at 175 or even "168" live on HBO, but Ward has not answered Stevenson, not once..................Marvin Hagler stayed at 160 lbs. his entire career, so I see the Golovkin haters claiming that Hagler was a fraud, no good, a coward, etc. Golovkin is a very popular fighter, Ward is not..............he has so many good fights at 160, he would even go down to 154 and fight Void, but Void will not even fight Pac at any weight..............

 

"Man your a racist, you hate Black people. Golovkin is only popular in your World."


Derrick....

 

Other than his crazy fans who already decided to rank him above many hall of famers based on a mathew macklin ko and are still thinking the ams matter now. .

Other than that, no reason to hate or cheer against him

 

Good post, I think that 100% sums it up.

 

Except he hasn't, lots of boxing fans in Europe had been folllowing his career long before HBO decided to show him. And middleweights like Sturm and N'dam already knew too well who he was back then. :yep

I would have been fine with him fighting in Germany tbh, and the false argument would then be "he's hiding over there in Germany, he's a fraud..." :nut

Keep hating haters, Golovkin will keep winning.

 

Mostly forum posters don't hate on boxers, they just get annoyed with each other quite easily and talk smack about each others favoured fighters to wind each other up.

Anyone who actually genuinely hated on GGG or any other fighter who hasn't done anything offensive to them personally would simply be deranged.

 

The only thing people want is for Golovkin to step up and fight legitimate, elite opposition.

Till he does, guess what? He can't be compared to Mayweather or Ward.

 

Andre Ward is considered the champion at 168 and Golovkin is a titleholder at 160. I didn't like seeing Golovkin's people saying that GGG would fight Ward only on equal terms because Golovkin is "a star". That was a bit disrespectful towards Ward in my opinion.

On the other hand, Andre Ward shouldn't be looking at Golovkin's direction at the first place, regardless if Golovkin team at some point said that GGG would fight anyone from 168 to 154 or not. Ward is basically a LHW and has difficulties making the weight for 168. I'm aware that he is looking for a big fight at 168 before he moves up, but Golovkin is chasing the championship at 160 and Ward, being the champion at 168, should fight someone his own size. The only problem is that nobody at 168 wants to fight Ward despite him being considered the champion. In my opinion, it has something to do with Andre Ward not facing Bute back then and letting Froch steal the momentum and get all those big fights. There was no clear champ back then and Ward and Bute were supposed to sort it out. Then Froch defeated Bute and Ward was basically considered the champion by default. If Ward had defeated Bute, the situation would be different today in my opinion.

Either way, if Andre Ward is really unable to get the big fight, and if he indeed has a hard time making the weight as the time passes, he should move up. There is nothing left for him to prove at 168. Golovkin vs Ward shouldn't happen.
