    ????

    I hear of his 375 amatuer fights... cool

    But he has been a pro for 7 years and his resume is CRAP

    Best win is Macklin wtf?

    He is still fighting guys like Ishida and Stevens, C level fighters...Oh there stay busy fights? Gtfo! U cant call em stay busy fights when the other guys u fought were soft comp also

    GGG step ya game up!

    If he wants some respect, step up and fight Froch or Ward!

    Golovkin is coming along just fine. His level of comp is better than it's given credit for. You'll see him in big fights within the next year.

    He's becoming HBO's biggest thing.

    So fights will be handed onto him, with the exception of Quillin the coward.

    When will others step up and face him?

    Macklin beat Sturm and was robbed in Germany, he put in a good performance vs Martinez (was ahead at halfway until he tired) but GGG destroyed him in 3.

    This appears to be the plan. Certainly they've been looking for the big fights at MW, but with KId C, Maravilla, JCC jr and even Murray unavailable there ain't much left.

    There's hopes for Murray (as a mando) early next year, Maravilla possibly later on, and then hopefully Froch - at least that's what HBO are after.

    It's worth remembering that Maravilla was 35 and had been fighting 13 years before he gained his first World title. As with GGG, a big part of this was due to poor promotion, but I think GGGs on track to be achieving big thinks through 2014.

    So HBO would be willing to show a GGG vs. Quillin fight?

    When he does step up we will be exposed for the punching bag he is. GGG is to easy to hit.

    i personally think its hard for him to get any good fights at that weight...they all know he represents a risk, these days when you become a champ and got something to loose you dont take risks...hence the reason it was hard for stevenson to get fights at 168, so he moved up and got his shot...

    GGG needs to do the same, if he moves up there is alot more fights for him because these bigger guys will this his power is negligable at the bigger weight...

    he needs to move up

    if GGG does not move up and continues to face b level fighters at this weight, he will decline in skill, power, and speed and be past prime when he does decide to make a move

    The guys who've fought him seem not agree.

    Anyways, Curtis can bang a bit, so if Gena really is easy to hit we oughta find out about his whiskers on the 2nd.:good

    Find me a clip where an opponent lands a combo, clean. Golovkin lets shots graze his head only to land his own, clean.

    Plus, Matthew Macklin who's fought at world level for a couple years now >>>> you. Listen to the post-fight interview... "easy to hit" :lol:

    If you're a punching bag, you'll get exposed down the road to 300+ amateur wins. :deal

    He does need to start fighting the top guys. I'd like to see him fight Martinez if Martinez doesn't fight Cotto first. He really needs to step it up for me to take him seriously. Until that time when he proves himself against top level competition, he's just another Edison Miranda in my book.

    He does have a **** resume for someone who's 31. I think next year he will finally step it up.

    his hype does well exceed his resume but the dude clearly has the skill to hang with anyone at mw. martinez is out and junior is a fuxking mess. thought i read somewhere he'd have to fight murray once murray takes out wood.

    would be a good scrap
