Putting Golovkin's name in the same sentence with Mayweather is an insult to boxing

[RawDawgHasSpokn]

GGG is the latest and greatest hope for the masses who want to just see Floyd lose his "0". Canelo and Mathysse went out of the picture in the same night. had the machine won against Garcia, this thread wouldn't even be happening. I thought we learned that power means nothing if it isn't landing. I'm sure Canelo is a lot faster than GGG and I believe, the better boxer. I like GGG but the blatant disrespect on this site is crazy.

The people spewing this GGG crap are getting abused across the forum and rightfully so.

Idk man, people are riding the wave with this guy. Hope it doesn't blow up in their faces

People haven`t learn from their mistakes in the over-hyping of Mathysse.Don`t get me wrong,i think Mathysse is a good fighter and i picked Mathysse to win against Garcia,but before that i was telling people that it was a 50/50 fight and that Mathysse is not as good as people hype him up to be.And i also pointed out his flaws.

Danny Garcia showed that if you got good boxing skills and can take his punch,you have a very good chance of beating Mathysse.And i always felt the same way with Golovkin.I already pointed out the flaws i see in him and to be honest,unless he fights Floyd when he`s badly declined,i think Floyd beats him at 154 in a dominant fashion.Golovkin doesn`t bring nothing Floyd hasn`t seen before.

Don`t get me wrong i like Golovkin and he brings more excitement to the sport with his KO`s,but i`m just keeping it real.I remember i use to tell my cousin that Jermaine Taylor isn`t that good as people hype him up to be,and i pointed out his flaws to him.And i knew that when Jermaine Taylor meet a puncher who have at-least descent boxing skills,he was gonna get ko`ed.And we all see what happened when he fought Pavlik.And i also knew that a fighter with good boxing skills would beat him.And i thought Cory Spinks and Winky Wright deserved the decision against Taylor.

Yeah it's just disgusting isn't it. I mean how dare Golovkin even mention he'd like to fight Floyd, how dare he? The cheek of the man! Even saying he'd come down to 154! He should be banned from boxing IMO!

The man even has the audacity to call Mayweather the best fighter in the world ffs! Disgusting!

Im a Golovkin fan.

With that said so what he wants to fight Floyd. So does Bernard Hopkins ffs. Its a fight that Floyd would win with ease imo and Id love to see it but Floyd isnt obligated to fight him. And hes not ducking him if he decides to look elsewhere.

Golovkin hasnt accomplished anything of note since hes been a pro. Hes on the right track but he doesnt deserve the fight more than the Garcia-Matthysee winner does. Can that even be argued?

The fighters that mattered at 154 Cotto, Oscar and the Trout-Canelo winner hes already taken them. Its always another guy somewhere that people rally around with hopes that they can be the one to beat Floyd and its not because they want to see a good fight because they know he will dance around, use his legs and flat out embarass him for 12 boring humiliating rounds.

It wont be a good fight hes going to simply stay upright and outpoint him then on the forums the usaul cries that Floyd doesnt have killer instinct and that hes not warrior will ne heard and then there will new guy. Rinse and repeat.

Golovkin and Floyd don't belong in the same sentence because they're in different weight classes....what's the obsession with Floyd fighting at a size disadvantage?!?.....you dudes are full of ****....real talk!!!

peep game....Floyd is ****ing Einstein in the ring....he's not gonna fight a dumb fight....NEVER EVER!!....that means those big mother****ers will spend 36 minutes trying to find the most elusive dude in the game...mean while getting picked off and tagged enough to lose most if not every round....then you same full of **** dudes will cry like lil girls and scream out that the fight was boring...smh

when Floyd fights other dudes his size it's far more exciting because he takes more risks and lets his hands go more....if he's not gonna fight Sergio Martinez then there's no need for him to fight outside his comfort zone of 147....when Jordan in the Bulls won 72 games hoop fans didn't wanna see them go through the playoffs playing 7 against 5 just because they dominated 5 on 5....smh

This post proves the exact motives of the people calling for Mayweather to go up to middleweight. They want to see him lose so bad that it doesn't matter who he fights so long as it's a giant. Like you just pointed out, and what they fail to realize, is that if they're frustrated and bored watching him outbox Canelo's, what makes them think he's going to stand and trade with any middleweight, super middle, light heavy, cruiser, or heavy? These goofballs.....

I ain't particularly arguing, but this has been along thread with a lot of GGG bashing apparently simply based on the fact that Golovkin said he'd like to fight FMJ. In fact he's said for a long time (years? - certainly in older interviews) that he'd like to Floyd because he wants to challenge himself against the best in the world. I really can't see why that should get people so annoyed. The fight ain't ever gonna happen, and even the most gung-ho of the Golovkin fans are far more muted than usual regarding his chances, specially at 154.

I'm simply not getting all the sh#t GGGs getting for simply mentioning he'd like the fight. Financially the fight will never make sense, even if GGG was to beat Maravilla for the lineal, he simply doesn't have the name recognition or fanbase within the TMT/SHO target demographic, but is it such a crime to suggest it'd be a good fight?

I mean, look at thread title ffs. It's essentially suggesting that Golovkin is actually so poor even fighting 20lbs above Floyd, that the fight isn't even worthy of consideration (on competitive rather than financial criteria) if I'm reading it right. This despite the fact that most boxing pundits and by now a majority of boxing fans consider him the best fighter at 160.

As a boxing fan, I would like to see this fight at 154. Wouldn't you?

ps. I don't want this fight 'cos I 'want to see Floyd knocked out' or some such rubbish, but because I see it as an exciting and intriguing match-up between a skilled heavy-hitting pressure fighter against one of the greatest defensive fighters and counter-puchers the sport has ever seen.

Putting Broner's name in the same sentence as Floyd is an insult to boxing, unless that sentence is something along the lines of "Broner copies Floyd and idolizes him but has nowhere near the skill level as Floyd and never will".

He's getting it for the same reason Martinez was years ago for desperately wanting to fight Mayweather and the other guy.... the only difference is Martinez, at least, had fought and was proven at '54. There was always the detractors that had pre-made excuses about how old Martinez was and how he couldn't make it back down to '54 without being drained.

The biggest qualm I have about these naturally bigger guys is that they see the smaller guys bringing attention to the sport and they're the ones getting paid the highest right now, so they'll do whatever they can to land those fights when they could easily be making a name for themselves by fighting people their size or bigger. Problem is they can't box. Martinez can, but he's sliding and even he knew that if he went up to fight Ward (or almost any super middle) years ago, he'd have been starched. Thoroughly schooled Chavez Jr. (who's naturally bigger) and the moment he started taking leather in the 11th and 12th it had a major impact.

So here we are again, years removed from the desperate begging of posters for him to face a 35-year old Martinez, only now to a slew of new stans calling for Mayweather to face this 31-year old hypejob in GGG. The cycle continues.

At least Martinez could box.

LOL at my 'desperate begging'. It's GGG who said he would like the fight - originally a long time ago, though he also knows it's unlikely to ever happen. For some reason this is seen as a considerable crime, even tho he fights lighter than 'Nelo. He's not even calling Floyd out or anything, just mentioned it was a dream fight for for him when asked.

I, personally would prefer him to move up. In fact, a fair few of the calls for FMJ - GGG are from Floyd fans who would like to see Mayweather cement his legacy as an ATG. I would like the fight, but I think it'd be kinda pointless careerwise for him to move down for just the one fight - when his future's clearly 160/8

Hey, if you don't want the fight, fair 'nuff. Ain't happening anyways. But if you think GGG can't box you're very much in the minority...you just stick to your guns tho' There's something almost impressive about such a determined refusal to acknowledge the obvious.
