I am not a hard-core die-hard GGG fan, but I’m not a hater either. It’s my personal preference for me to see people adopting opinions that are consistent in nature and discuss facts instead, hence the nature of this thread.

it hurts does it not ? had golovkin been american you would praise him like the second coming of christ.
so now the golovkin hype, after five years or so, have finally proven to be for real. the results speaks for themselves. and instead of praising and enjoying the skill level of this dude, you grasp at straws, creating selfconstructed and desillusional arguements as an excuse for trying to put that fighter and his fans down.
you are a sad peace of work. sorry to break it to you.

Resumé and how you deal with them should

Pac has the best resume in boxing now. Should he be p4p #1 ? No, because he is not that fighter anymore who created that resume.

Well no it goes without saying it has to be current and relevant

• Is willing to face certain fighters at 168lbs or 175lbs, but then demands 164lb catch-weight stipulations for others
• Is willing to face certain fighters at 154lbs, whilst refusing to engage in catch-weight stipulations at a higher weight (i.e. 155lbs, 157lbs etc.) for others
• Is critical of light middleweights facing 147lb-ers, but yet he's praised for fighting a welterweight at 160lbs
• Is critical of other fighters demanding catch-weight stipulations, but he has previously done this himself when he claimed he would only consider fighting a certain opponent at 164lbs
• Is critical of prospective opponents requesting too much money to face him, yet he himself has declined to consider opportunities to engage in marquee fights against pound-for-pound quality opposition for precisely the same reason
• Has frequently claimed that he’s willing to face anyone between 154lbs to 168lbs, but GGG never competes at a weight other than 160lbs
• Certain fighters are criticised for refusing to engage in rematches against opposition that they have scored contentious decisions against, but Golovkin is supported for doing the same thing
• Has stated on multiple occasions that legacy takes precedence over money, yet he prefers to engage in a big money fight instead of title unification
• Has previously accused other fighters as being “cowards” and “ducks”, because they refused to face him for the money being offered, due to these opponents claiming they could command greater sums elsewhere, but yet he’s praised for doing the very same thing himself
• Golovkin fans are outraged when the quality of his resume is scrutinised and exposed using evidence cited by the same third-party sources that they usually support for other fighters

I don’t feel I need to expand on these points, since they are easy to understand the situations I’m referring to.

Thoughts?
