Why the hate for Gennady Golovkin?

[Master]

GGG boxing career is quality and the best middleweight by far which is no small feat. Yes he could go up or down in weight but he has stayed at the weight and unified a lot of the belts which is what we want to see.

I want to see Canelo v GGG.

I don't hate GGG I actually quite like him but I also do believe he's not beat anyone that good yet so maybe that's why a lot maybe dislike him there's an awful lot of hype around him, I really hope canelo fights GGG @160 that would be a great victory for GGG if he can win

That is a reasonable post from you. I think you recognise that dominating and stopping the fighters he has faced demonstrates that he is something special. A lot of people want him to face literally bigger challenges because he is that good which I can understand but do not think is right for him to do yet.

GGG would love to destroy Canelo because he would be perfect for him.

Same reason people the other way around hated Floyd and still hate him...

Canelo say's he's the Champ and the fight would have to be at 155lbs,! what a joke GGG is the
middle weight Champ the limit is 160lbs, they don't fancy a beating so the contender makes
stipulations, Canelo you fight the middle weight champ fight at the weight, not a weight you fancy
only one winner GGG, Canelo will not last the distance.

I have found that Floyd fans appear most often to dislike GGG. I don't know if it is racism or not. It might be just that he isn't American.

@Ron Swanson I doubt it is because he has a thin resume. There is no reason why one can't appreciate a fighter with a thin resume, especially when he is a knockout artist. It is not like he has avoided anyone at his natural weight class. He has unified the titles and people at or around his weight class have avoided him. Compare the hate GGG gets with Thurman. Thurman's resume isn't deep at all. Yet, he isn't close to as polarizing as GGG.
