I think some of the mystique has been lifted on GGG. I thought Perez would have crashed through the the front door at hev by now but he's to busy shagging Irish chicks. I think Roman Gonzalez makes the list.

That is a great question and one that has been around a long time. It does not make any sense based on the product on the field but nevertheless the lack of coverage and reward continues. If not for the copious amount of streams around these days it would be hard save a few players to see the little guys on any kind of regular basis.
You know prior to fighting Donaire, Montiel never had a pay day of six figures. Before the Morel fight collapsed he was going to make 80 thousand and Morel 20. I think geography is at play here and the fact that Showtime and HBO never travel or want to. Same goes for European broadcasters etc. Everybody seems geocentric. I also think the species is hot wired to think that bigger is better from grade school to adulthood. The big guy in grade 5 who still cant spell his own name is more popular then the shrimp who gets straight A's. Splitting the divisions was almost the final nail with the effects felt much more by the little guys then the higher weights. I think the opportunity will be there to follow the little guys more carefully just do to technology in the future.
GGG feared? I think Not. I'd say Donaire actually, so many boxers just freeze and go in a stupefying defensive shell.
Dominant...hmm I'd say Wlad and Mayweather are pretty damn close, Ward will be but his reign isn't as long as Wlads or as illustrious as Mayweather's (yet)
As for the aura of invincibility, heck two years ago I would have said Vitali but the man's getting old so without a moment's hesitation I'll say Ward. He's a new hopkins.
Well if you listen to him it is Anthony Mundine........ LOL what a tool. Also I remember Vic Darchinyan saying he could knock out anyone at any weight, and yes that was before Donaire sent him to the far side of coonzbeam. Another guy who only listens to the voices in his head. But on a serious note Maywether would have to be most dominant and seemingly unbeatable but most feared is a hard one, I reckon a lot of guys would have butterflies going in against Sergio Martinez.

Vitali is still a beast in my opinion. His only losses were from his own body letting him down but has soundly beaten everyone put in front of him in impressive fashion.
