I was referring to the second option in the OP - Other fighters will be thinking "**** that I'm not fighting him!"
For every Foreman, there is an Ali. For every Mike there is a Buster. For every Kostya Tszyu there is a cool vince phillips. GG hasn't even faced a complete boxer yet.
Murray actually landed some good shots but he had no pop in his punches, especially when he was exhausted. Golovkin even let him land some shots later in the fight.
I predict in 2 years, GGG will be the unified middle, after KOs of Lemieux, Lee and whoever held a belt. And we will still have trolls recalling how Ouma had GGG beaten up ready to fall in the ring. And GGG's consecutive string of KOs will be at 27, including his former tormentor Ouma.
Both look like they respect each other....credit to Murray He looks like He went 11 Rounds with a Monster.!!! This content is protected
Ouma gave him a dog fight. No fighter ever beat Ouma easy, because he always fought his heart out. But GGG took everything coming at him, and put a beating on him after 6 rds. CLEARLY. If GGG is ever to lose a fight, it won't be against slicksters like Ward or PBF; il will be against an iron chinned fighter bringing a punch and standing his ground.
If a fighter has a good chin, Golovkin will go to his body. Golovkin is extremely underrated about of bias.................Murray knocked Martinez down, most thought he beat Martinez and Murray had a draw against Sturm, but really beat Sturm..............yet Golovkin beat the hell out of him, stopped him. Knocked him down three times............Geale was a former world champion.....................Where is Cotto, where is Quillin, where is Sturm and the rest?
Until GG fights someone his equal, all he will do is get props from you guys and get older. In the true boxing fans world, we want to see fighters mettle get tested, you don't. You GG fans like this ride, I dont. But like any fighter,GGs day of reckoning will arrive.
Guess what. GGG wants Ward, but he wants a healthy Ward not coming off of an injury. Let's hope Ward fights somebody in the near future.
