Overrating punchers who wreck bums with style but haven't faced A tier opposition yet

Top Middleweights who have varifiably decided against fighting GGG:

Sturm: Was going to be stripped of the WBA belt for not fighting GGG but lost to Geale first.

Geale: Stripped of the WBA belt for not fighting GGG. Refused bout in Feb as mandatory IBO challenger.

Martinez: His promoter, Lou DiBella said, it would be stupid for me to put Sergio in the ring with a monster like GGG, so I doubt they will fight.

Murray: Has been GGG's WBA mandatory for a while now and repetitively passes on fights with him.

I could go on, but you're hopefully not too much of a moron to get the point. When no top guys will fight you, all you have left are bums. Why are the top guys ducking him? Well, they must see something in Golovkin that you're missing and they don't want to take the risk until they get a huge payday, which HBO should be able to finance in mid to late 2014 looking at his ratings from this year.

 

Are you stupid? Do you see GGG on the p4p list? Ward is #2. Of course Ward is favored in a fight against GGG. No one, I mean no one has GGG above Ward on a p4p list. So who is touting GGG as better than Ward because if they were he'd be above Ward on their p4p list.

Your argument for GGG sucking is that he's not fighting Ward? So does that mean Mayweather sucks of he won't fight GGG? Both are equally absurd.

 

I agree that punchers without boxing skill will almost never reach the top of the heap. It's called boxing, not punching. Boxer-punchers can do very well in the sport, though, if they possess the boxing skills to go along with the power, but pure punchers can be out boxed, it's been proven many times, and most won't stay at the top for long against top opposition. Boxer-punchers like Golovkin, who with a 345-5 amatuer record has proven his boxing skills, have a chance to go far, whereas pure punchers like James Kirkland with run in to trouble with most top level boxers, who usually have enough power to keep guys honest, and boxer-punchers.
