    The Eastern European oriented media bias as well as Golovkin fans proclaim him as the "best thing since Hagler" even though GGG has fought not even one opponent to validate that claim.
    Does GGG have a good jab? Who knows. In 8 years he has fought nobody to establish this as fact.
    Does he have a good chin?
    Who knows, but it's good enough against the likes of Monroe, Geale and Lemieux. Three B level fighters.
    How will it stand up when faced with an A level elite? Who knows. In 8 years, Golovkin has ducked every opportunity to face an A level opponent.


    Too many fools on this site point to Al Haymon as why a fight will not happen. This is BS. Haymon is a business man first and foremaost. Business men make money. If GGG has the potential to make some money for Haymon, any fight with Haymon fighters can happen. To believe otherwise is just foolish.

    There is no need to once again list the potential A level opponents that GGG has ducked. There are probably 100 threads commenting on this. :lol:

    Thje first point is correct up to a point. We don't know how good Golovkin is yet - we can speculate based on how he's performed against guys that have given recognised names tough fights but that's about it.

    The bit about ducking has been addressed ad nauseum so I wan't bother going over that again.

    The third part about Haymon fights - well, I just said it was improbable - fair enough if you don't agree but I ain't seen many fights being made between Haymon fighters and HBO contracted fighters to date. If the money was there then yeah, possibly the roadblocks (from either side) could be overcome, but I'm not at all sure the $s are there in GGGs case.

    The way you speak it's like you've somehow picked up the idea that I don't want to see GGG properly challenged. I would absolutely prefer to see GGG face the likes of Degale, Andre Dirrell, Jack or yes, ideally Ward at 168 than any of the options he has at 160. I'm honestly finding it increasingly hard to work up much excitement for watching GGG face overmatched opponents now it's become clear just how far ahead he is of the rest of the division, but at the same time I ain't going to blame him when the likelihood of landing big money fights at 168 is even worse than at 160.

    EDIT: And Eastern European media bias? Outside of Golovkin and to a much lesser extent Kovalev - both of whom are widely recognised as top echelon fighters (whatever your personal opinions on them) very few Eastern euros get mentioned much in the boxing media, yet alone the mainstream press. Can you give some examples of this 'bias' and demonstrate how they receive preferential treatment in the press over say American or Mexican fighters?

    Come on, be real.

    Every time in the past when GGG had the opportunity to face an A level fighter (Lara, BHOP, Ward, Canelo at 156) and K2 wiggled out of it, Golovkin fans were all happy and supporting K2's duck methods.
    The sole reason we can discuss this topic is due to GGG's long history of low level of standards for competition.

    I turn down the volume now when Letterman, Kellerman, Lampley and Bernstein are commenting. No matter what fight it is they find a way to work Golovkin into the conversation and say something like, Lampley: "Yes, he has a rock solid Golovkin like chin", or "Golovkin has the best jab in the professional ranks"....
    WTF!? Bias, and leading the audience with falsehood. :smoke

    Saunders? Nope.
    Quillin? Nope.
    Canelo? Nope.
    Lee? Possibly.
