Why are little g's fans desperate to see him against two of Mayweather's leftovers?

Only in the mind of a complete moron, would an attempt to unify in one of the glamour divisions in boxing be considered a cherry pick. Wanting to unify belts for any fighter should be beyond any critisism whatsoever, it is the pinnacle of the sport.

 

GGG will move up, but he wants to get all the belts first and I would think he would like to break the # of title defenses at MW.

Floyd never unified all the belts in a division or set records for # of title defenses.

Additionally, Floyd wouldn't fight GGG at a division (154) which he was considered the champion (even though GGG would lose a little of his edge due to being weight drained).

 

Unlike Mayweather, Golovkin started his professional career late when his body was fully developed already.

 

Come on man, are you really trying to defend golovkin here? Floyd fought pretty much the best competition in every division he campaigned in sans junior welterweight.

You want to know the difference between them? When Floyd was at 135 lbs, he was calling out Freitas and casamayor for almost two years with the intent of unifying that division. Since neither guy seemingly wanted anything to do with Floyd, mayweather decided to do the gutsy thing and move up in weight rather than defending his lineal LW championship against undeserving opposition.

gennady could've easily followed suit and could've taken on the best challenger out there For him by going up ONE weight class and fighting Andre ward. But Ggg and his handlers are so hell bent on him unifying at MW that they're more than satisfied to continue campaigning at a division where there's no veritable competition for him.

You think he's going to move up soon? He's in his mid 30's already and is still in the same division he started at when turning pro.

Don't compare gennady golovkin to a true ATG like Floyd mayweather. Floyd has been taking on larger guys for over 10 years now while gennady is trying to coax smaller guys to fight him.

2 totally different classes of fighters that are in completely different nomenclatures.

 

This is such a silly misnomer when it to comes to Floyd Mayweather. The only weight division he had trouble making weight in was SFW at the tail end of his reign there in his mid 20's.

He had zero trouble making lw or jww and could've easily stayed at either division for a longer period of time but he was craving the big ppv fights which only were available at jww (gatti) and ww (dlh).

Please, don't make it seem like Floyd moved up weight classes because he couldn't make weight at the lighter divisions anymore because that's absolutely inaccurate and a baseless statement overall.

 

Its very simple idiotboi. He is mandatory to the WBC. Cotto/Canelo happen to be in the way.

 

Yeah , beating the chit out of 5'7 welter Cotto at the end of his career with a 20 pound weight advantage is going to seal Glovkins legacy and elevate his career to the highest reaches of the sport:tired:roll:

 

It's not like Floyd has taken on all comers (Wright, Williams, Margo).

GGG will be a true ATG when he breaks the # of title defenses at MW.

They may not be in the same class in terms of ATG status, but you better believe they are in that same category in terms of skills.

I don't know how you can go 345-5 and not be considered an elite boxer. Floyd BTW was 84-6.

 

Cotto is considered the champion. Freddie did a good job of beating a one-legged Sergio and have Geale find a nice place to fall down at.

 

Are you serious? You think gennady is as skilled as Floyd mayweather?

I've been watching boxing since the 80's and I've been fortunate enough to see film on almost all the great fighters of the past, from guys like Benny Leonard all the way to pernell Whitaker. I can say with complete confidence as far as skill sets and being a complete all around fighter go, Floyd is one of the 5 most skilled ever.

Id like to see how gennady would fare moving up just ONE or two weight divisions when his power wouldn't be so damaging. You take his power away and i can promise you he won't look that skillful.

I mean seriously, I'd love to see him jump up to lhw and challenge kovalev and see how powerful GGG would look there. I'm just asking for him to fight 2 divisions higher than his original weight class. We already know what Floyd looks like 5 divisions above where he started.

 

And don't bring amateur records into this, that's just a silly, irrelevant statement that doesn't bare any correlation to what they've accomplished professionally. All those records show is that gennady fought for way too long as an amateur and probably took on a lot of kids/teenagers when he was a grown man still fighting in the amateur ranks. Big deal.

 

2 things wrong with your post first Margarito and Williams aren't even as good as the guys he's fought. Second It will take something extraordinary for GGG to be considered an ATG.

A fake MW record where 75% of the defense's weren't even of a real World Title, and possibly unifying while never beating an actual Champ won't cut it.

I don't know why GGG fans assume that it would, Baldomir was Undisputed Champ won all 4 WW Titles, beat a better fighter than GGGs fought in Judah to do it, also fought top contenders from 147-68. Is he an ATG let alone a HOFer no, and that is greater than what GGGs done to this point.

 

Everybody knows he isn't ever fight any Cotto or Canelo , so this chasing unification is just an excuse for him to continue on his bum run.

 

Everybody being a dozen of idiots like you ? Cotto has been ducking Golovkin, and Canelo already promised to do the same.

 

Just because a fight has yet to happen doesn't mean it's a duck, both Cotto and Canelo had a bigger and better fish to fry in facing each other.

Neither has ducked GGG at least not to this point.
