Why is GGG resume SO CRAPPY?

His team hasn't been slow-playing GGG, they've been trying to get top-notch fights for years, but it takes cash to tempt elite fighters into taking a risky fight and that's what has been slow--getting GGG to the ratings level that commands a budget high enough to get the top fights. If Sergio get's passed Cotto, I think we will see a GGG-Martinez fight late this year or early next year, if the money's right. Otherwise, GGG will probably have to wait until Sergio retires to capture the Ring title (lineal championship) and be crowned the top Middleweight.

P.S. I completely agree with you about wanting to see GGG/Martinez, not Cotto/Martinez.

 

I agree. I don't think HBO will be able to resist a Kirkland/GGG fight, a fight that may very well end with a 1st round KO of Kirkland. With Kirkland trying to get his career back on track, I'm not sure he'd want to take on GGG. A devastating KO loss might derail him, but a Kirkland fight could raise GGG's popularity amongst the casual fans. Honestly, I hope they find more challenging opposition for GGG, though, because I don't think a Kirkland fight wins over many GGG critics nor does it impresses the boxing hardcore. Most of us know the outcome before the bell rings, that is, if Kirkland takes punches from GGG the way he did from Tapia, it would be a short night for Kirkland, and easy work for GGG.

P.S. I would love to see a Quillin/GGG fight, if they could make it happen, though I believe GGG wins that one easily, as well.

 

HBO hit a home run on their investment for sure, but K2 had absolutely no leverage going in to it. Just getting Golovkin in the door was a win for them given the hurdles they had to get past. It's extremely rare for an unknown foreign fighter backed by a promoter with a minimal U.S. presence to even get the chance to become a headliner. Now, K2 is in a much better position going forward.

And, credit to Golovkin- he needs to dominate and impress new fans every time he fights to show HBO he's worth being one of their flagship fighters, and that's what he's been doing.

 

Agreed on all counts! :cheers

 

It shows all the problems there could be for a great amateur to turn pro at their prime. Everybody knows, I mean boxer know, that they are great boxers, but the fans, which bring money, know jack sh.it, about them because they havent been seeing them on big networks. Therefore, those boxers are immense risk with really low rewards.

I mean Meaweather is not that much more exciting to watch then Rigo. But Meaweather has the recognition of having been there for quite a while, best p4p (while Rigo is also really skilled), etc., so he gets the ppv numbers, while Rigo gets kicked out of his network (FMJ - Alvarez was also quite boring in a casual perspective, which is mine...).

People see within a year or two, if those guys fight regularly, that they are worth watching, but it takes time while they are in their prime and be fighting the best opponents available.

 

He's going through what PBF went through early on. High Risk Low Reward.

People dont wanna fight him, and wont want to until he gets more exposure and brings in more cash.

 

Well said.

 

Gaele ducked him. Martinez don't want to fight him. Sturm ducked him for years when GGG was mandatory. Murray turned down an offer. Quillin is hiding behind showtime. That's half of the top 10 right there.

He fought 4 times in 2012. Some of them keep busy fights so he doesn't become inactive. I'm sure he's willing to fight anyone who wants a fight at 160.

 

why are you keep making threads about GGG?

 

His resume is remarkably bad considering his age and his hype. He's in his prime right now and keeps fighting trash cans.

 

there's a few that hate triple G something fierce, probably cause his skills make their favorite look like a chump. so they do their little chant: resume! resume! :rofl

 

This bozo didn't bother to read the comments. Pretty much Rock0052 and Beatdaddy nailed it with what they posted. :deal

 

your resume full of lame posts and inability to recognize an elite boxing talent is even more remarkable. :yep

 

His resume sucks. That's not up for debate, is it?

 

say resume one more time. i dare ya. i double dare ya.
