Poll: Mayweather vs Golovkin @ 155 lbs

He was able to get in the jab of fighters far better, stronger and clearly more proven than Golovkin will ever be. That includes the jab of a fighter that beat him. All this "supreme power" nonsense is nothing but pure hype. His power was nonexistent every time he stepped in against an opponent with any signs of competence whatsoever.

 

GGG has landed more jabs per round than anyone Floyd has faced have you seen GGG fight, his jab output is unusual, Floyd prefers to wait andf counter GGG is better at opening fighters up but who the hell did Floyd fight that was stronger than a hard punching middle?

 

His jab output is unusual because of who they are picking for him to fight. They're stacking him against completely hopeless bums so he can display everything he can offer multiplied by 6. This is nothing new in this sport when it comes to creating the ultimate hypejob. Mayweather would completely outbox this guy because he has literally nothing special to offer. He's nothing but a one-dimensional plodder. These supreme jabbing skills may deceive you, but they are completely pointless to me. Especially when I see him display these supreme skills against opponents he's exploding into the arena against as a minimum 1/30 favorite. Where were those supreme skills when he fought Alvarez?.

 

Wow, you are stuck in the "you have to fight in multiple weight divisions to be great or special movement" I guess Marvin Hagler was a fraud under that logic.You know, you can be a cherry picker in other weight divisions too, look at Canelo's win over Rocky Fielding,Thomas Hearns win over Dennis Andries,he was the greenest of all the champs at the time and a great win considering it was Hearns first fight at light heavyweight,but he was no Hagler.Hagler was tougher than all those guys in multiple weight divisions that Hearns beat.You didn't see Hearns going up against a Prince Charles Williams or a young Champ Michael Moorer.What Hearns did was Great but he cherry picked and had a right to because he was going up.Nobody said anything negative about it because there was no internet smart allecs back then.Golovkin is perfectly capable to fight at 168lbs or 175 lbs and being successful,he is that good,not some plodder, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to go 24 tough rounds with Canelo and have Canelo running to Different divisions to find easier work.Remember Canelo said it himself "I don't want to fight Golovkin anymore"!

 

Marvin Hagler was still able to score major fights that legitimized his position. He sure as hell wasn't exploding into arenas as a 1/100 favorite in the majority of his affairs like Golovkin has. With the exception of Hagler and the extreme few you are focusing on to defend your comical purpose, the majority of ATG fighters took on ridiculous challenges by moving up and even down sometimes to force big fights. They weren't devouring hopeless bums their entire careers while crying for paydays. If this was 10-15 years ago, Golovkin would be a nobody no one cares about(remember Felix Sturm?). The only reason he eventually forced a payday through begging and nothing else was all thanks to social media. He never accomplished anything worth mentioning in the ring for the 2 paydays against Alvarez. That's why he is 38 at the moment and no one gives a damn about him.

 

No. Just death. Plain old death. That being said just to look at it from the ottherside. If FlIVd came out of retirement and fought GGG at 155 catchweight and beat him like he beat Canelo he would earn my complete respect and It would propel him into my top 10 fighters of all time.

 

Hagler fought top 10 middleweights and Greats coming up in weight like Duran,Hearns and Leonard.True Hbo and social middle helped Golovkin, more people were able to see his greatness, it's called exposure. If he wasn't good nobody would want to watch his fights.Also Golovkin KOED fighters easily that beat Sturm , but Delahoya got a Canelo style gift vs Sturm that he should have lost.

 

How many PPVs has he headlined by purely selling by himself and how many were successful?. That should answer your question about "people wanting to see him". It's the PPVs you successfully headline solitarily that proves you are a legitimate prizefighter that people will pay to watch in their homes. I have a strong feeling you will bring the Alvarez fights as Golovkin being the primary seller. Don't worry though, that type of comedy won't be new from a Golovkin fan.

That Sturm comment proves that you are completely clueless about the sport(again, nothing new for a Golovkin fan) yet have the nerve to say that you have been following the sport before I was born. Do you know anything about De La Hoya's fight with Sturm or do you want free education from me yet again?. How old was Sturm when these "amazing fighters that Golovkin KO'd easily" beat him?.

 

Sturm was 33, when he lost his unification against Geale.Golovkin is 37 and still kicking ass, one of the top pfp fighters in the world.Sturm was 25 when he fought Oscar.GGG vs Canelo 1 and 2 did better than Cotto vs Canelo.Which was pretty decent numbers.But your a hater and that's part of what makes the world go round.You have the Republicans and the evil democrats,and you have Golovkin fans and GGG haters who are haters just looking for a place to happen.

 

Right now?

Golovkin. Floyd hasn't had a real fight in 5 years and he'd be giving up 17 -20 lbs on fight night.

Floyd isn't Floyd anymore. Those days are way over.

 

If you're saying Floyd comes back "again" to fight Golovkin, Golovkin stops him in 4 rounds.

 

He is 37 and still "kickin' ass" till anyone starts a rumor about him fighting Alvarez again, then he's old and decrepit overnight just to preserve face when he loses again. Geale is another joke opponent, by the way.

 

GGG don't need excuses, against Alvarez one of three fighters to take Golovkin 12, he needs fair judging.Canelo don't want GGG, and it's not because he's not a challenge,it's because he's counting his blessing with the last two decisions and running to other divisions. Golovkin takes him places he don't like to go.

 

Floyd too old now to beat shot GGG
