    Golovkin and real deal must be some sort of inside comedy sketch as names like Rubio, Geale and Monroe would be wins a welterweight would be red faced to have, let alone a middleweight

    Why is that an issue? I am unaware of any reasons why Al Haymon would be an impediment to these fights.

    Rubio is nto the best guy he fought... Jesus Christ why do people do this ****?

    It's like trying to pass up Caparello as Kovalev's best win and claim his resume is ****, at least get your facts straight. Freaking moron.

    You're more thorough than that, usually... Golovkin is exclusive to HBO, Haymon is banned from HBO. Can't happen.

    Al Haymon's contract states that he and only he can choose,initiate talks and seal the deals for his fighters.

    But doesn't Golovkin's deal with HBO end after the Lemieux fight? I know he signed a 4 fight extension after the Geale fight, making Lemieux the 4th fight since then and Golovkin isn't likely to move up if at all until later on down the line, when things could be quite different.

    HBO is very good for GGG. Much better than Showtime. And the announcers like Lampley and Max seem to appreciate his fighting style. Not too sure about Roy and Andre though! The last GGG fight that Ward called was early 2014 I think. And Andre started to show some jealousy. You can tell he wants to see GGG lose. :D If they bring him to Showtime Paulie will start trashing him and eventually accuse him of using steroids!

    I don't know how to break up quotes but in the order you listed.
    1 that is the most proped up stat ever since when does being an intriem Titlist and beating journeymen signify greatness GGG has only been a real Champ for like 2 years.

    2.Ward is/was a SMW dude said 3 whole divisions were ducking him, but backed down quickly when called out on it. **** the dude ducked Lara a JMW who I think GGG would beat still had a chance to faced a guy people actually call elite and ducked, meanwhile there hoping Ward moves up to continue ducking him.

    3.Ward stated when he came back he wanted 2 fight's GGG and Kovalev, in order for that to happen GGG would have to be first again he ducked Kovalev people have said they've already talk to Ward and will likely fight each other next year.

    4.I was trying to give GGG some credit if Murray is his best win that's more embarrassing seeing as Murray is only known for LOSING to the same legless Martinez Cotto KO'd and retired.

    5. Lol OK buddy anything to give reason why Cotto destroyed GGGs most accomplished opponent.

    6.Cotto if he wins which I don't think he does will clearly have the best names and resume at MW cw or not, what do you think will happen if Cotto-GGG comes off...a cw if Cotto wins will that be the excuse why as well. I'll conced though even though I think Alvarez beats GGG, I'd rated GGG as #1 at MW over Alvarez simply due to more fight's there for the time.

    I call a spade a spade Gennandy is an entertaining fighter but besides that more hype than substances had a chance to prove the hype and declined.

    You think HBO/K2 will part ways after the Lemieux PPV? I think it's a healthy marketing relationship that will be extended way beyond the Lemieux fight.

    No sign of Haymon making amends with HBO......... yet.

    2 years? Incorrect. Go back and check when he got his Regular WBA title.

    He didn't duck Lara. If you think so, prove it. Via twitter, of course...

    Meh, there's just the fact that Haymon fighters are banned from HBO and GGG is exclusive to HBO.

    The 154 to 168 quote is from Fall 2012, when K2 started marketing him. As his risk/reward ratio increased, they focused on unifying and have ever since. Not fighting the best at 168 when you're fighting at 160 isn't ducking.

    Incorrect. Ward stated he wanted two tune-ups before he fought any top fighter. Virgil said the same thing.

    Fair enough on Murray.

    Golovkin's resume also includes Sturm (documented duck), N'Dam (documented duck), Quillin (documented duck, pre-Haymon) and Pirog (pulled out due to injury).

    Was Geale drained or not vs Cotto? Just give an answer.

    No weight excuse from Golovkin if he needs to fight at 155, that's on Sanchez. A guy who weighs 165 at the 30-day weigh in isn't exactly in danger of not making LMW.

    ...this is how you break down a quote into parts. :yep

    Golovkin doesn't need to fight someone great for me to know he's special and the real deal. Just as Ronda Rousey doesn't need to fight someone great for me to know she's special and the real deal. You can see it.

    A good indicator is destroying- not just beating- but DESTROYING "no names" because simply, that's what someone who is great SHOULD be doing to opponents like that.

    Fighters realize he's legit and you hear them say it. Roy Jones Jr called GGG "the truth" during GGG's HBO debut. Others have said similar things. I haven't heard many fighters says "oh, he's all hype," usually it's the exact opposite. Real recongizes real.

    Dont even compare Rhonda to GGG. Rhonda's last opponent literally started training sports 4 years ago. Before that she never did any sport in her life. GGG is fighting real athletes.
