Kirkland was 32-1 with 28 KO's, He'd won five in a row (four by knockout) against Molina, Angulo and Tapia (who was 20-0) and that's embarrassing? Hate to know what you thought of GGG fighting Macklin, Wade, Monroe and all the other bums he fought in his title defences.
I was a huge Golovkin supporter 6/7 years ago. But watching his opponents is what turned me away. Watching people excuse his opponents really.

I mean right now we have Jacobs available, wanting the fight. And we have GGG instead looking at yet another former WW to move up. And people feel comfortable talking about GGG was avoided, that's why he didn't fight good fighters. Ummm, what about the avoiding he does?!

Literally in a thread where we are discussing GGG looking soft rather than taking the hard available fights people are blaming the hard fight guy that wants the fight, madness.
