Golovkin loves The White Stripes and Wlad the RHCP, so a lot of the hate they get on Saddo's, I feel has a tinge of racism against rock bands.Quote:

It's his attitude without the ability to back it up that makes him an object of ridicule. A lot of people have got a bit sick of Cotto's attitude towards the middleweight division but it has nothing to do with his nationality. There are enough high profile, high and under achieving black boxers for people to ridicule if it was just racism and that just doesn't generally happen here.Quote:

And the reason he'll never change that is because he has a subconscious fear of getting hit flush. It's like he is so concentrated on avoiding that one shot, that it affects his fluidity. You can see how awkwardly he reacts when those shots sneak in.
He tries too hard to live up to that Mayweather type defense, and it shadows the rest of his arsenal. He needs to fight with more confidence and embrace the rest of his capabilities as a fighter.
Playing the villain only works if you keep doleing out ass whoopings on the good guys, so people keep paying to see you lose. Once you get clearly beaten twice, there's not much more interest. Sure, he can have a Ricardo Mayorga/Zab Judah career, where he'll keep getting fights because he can sell a fight and it's always pleasing to see them get beat.
However, that can only get you so far and soon the promoters start using you as a gatekeeper for other rising fighters to build their name, in other words you'll get fed to the wolves for a pretty penny every fight.
His flashy attitude and flashiness is a mirror image of a lot of the music he listens to. So a lot of the hate that he gets on Saddo, I feel has a tinge of racism
He's an elite fighter and he has accomplished more as a professional fighter than 95% of fighters.
It's just that he's not better than all the other elite fighters. They babied him too much then put him against a lion like Maidana but having watched it back on YouTube. I really don't believe that was beat-down people say it was.
Broner may not match up well with Mayweather in the skill department..... but he more than makes up for it in the jerk department.
Typical gifted athlete who feels he can get by on athletic ability without putting in the work and going beyond what is expected of you.
