Golovkin v Steve Rolls

[Ron Swanson]

Three of Golovkins last four fights have been against Canelo and Jacobs. This money grabbing "ducker" narrative is silly. He specifically signed with DAZN to get a 3rd Canelo fight (plus they have the other belt holders), he's chasing his "legacy" as well as money, there's not a bigger middleweight match than those two.

36 years old, name his top 5 opponents. If he was an African American his resume would trashed for his crap opponents. A Kazak deserves equal treatment. Everyone, always, deserves equal treatment

3 decent opponents in an entire career, yeah, he’s earned more weak opponents SMDH. 2 of his 3 big opponents couldn’t win a round against a WW, a WW that started at 130.

I've heard this argument a million times, even before the internet was invented, every "great" fighter who dominates a division gets accused of having a "weak resume/ducking," there's always fighters "they should have fought."

Substitute Golovkin for Hagler, Calzaghe, Hopkins, Roy, Michalczewski, Floyd, Tyson, Naz - It has nothing to do with skin colour or nationality, even ignoring obvious prejudice and bias (hate), boxing fans have always demanded more, there's always someone new coming along.

Golovkin is simply history repeating itself.

No, GGG had Charlo to fight as mandatory for over a year, didn’t. He had an owed Jacobs rematch, didn’t. He had that whack job Saunders to be undisputed, didn’t. He had his mandatory against Derevyanchenko but instead got stripped to fight yet another never champion 154lber. Should we count all those he fought? If he actually fought the MWs he would be good. But he looked above and below for easy pickings. Or do you deny he looked to go up as far back as Steiglitz? Then was focused on the division, but fought Ouma, Fuchigami, Proksa, Rosado, Ishida? Not sure how these 154lbers helped him clear out 160. But he couldn’t get a shot from the big names right? Except this leads into Ward wanting to fight him and GGG couldn’t because of 100 different excuses including wanting to clean out 160 which ^, but also, remember Chavez, he was at 168 and GGG was willing to go up, remember Froch, he was willing to go up if Froch would come out of retirement. But he’s focused on cleaning out 160, except for if you look at what he did or what he was willing to do. But here you are, GGGs just a victim of circumstances haha, so predictable. Yep, he’s just like Hagler. Hagler had a ton of fights available to him but didn’t. Since it’s the same to you, how about you name the great MW fights Hagler didn’t accept.

I expect you to switch your argument and not name, prove me wrong.

Are you kidding? You've inadvertently proved my point.

What did I say? "History repeating itself." Meaning? You're a fan acting like a spoilt child because you "hate" a particular fighter, therefore go to any lengths to twist and sour anything they do.

If Golovkin hadn't fought Canelo and Jacobs you'd make the exact same posts claiming he's "ducking" them.

You're arguments are the same boring old rubbish every spoilt child fan spews out in an attempt to discredit guys they don't like. You proved my point. Look how easy it is - Hagler "ducked" Herol Graham (his mandatory) and Sumbu Kalambay. Now if I hated Hagler like you hate Golovkin I could convince a load of fans why Hagler isn't the great champion he's portrayed as. But that's silly. Why? Because he made the fights that made most sense (lucrative) during his era, just as Golovkin has and every other great.

Hagler-Leonard (Canelo) is a much bigger deal in the history of boxing than what Hagler-Graham (Charlo) would have been

Jermall hide away to Korobov?

Jermall hide away to Korobov?

Korobov deserves a rematch and Charlo should want one, that fight was a big knock backwards for the momentum of Charlo.

I think it was an unfortunate fight for Charlo. Korobov is a solid fighter who was thrown in late so Charlo didn’t train properly for him and his brother just got robbed a half hour before the fight which I think affected him big time. I still thought that Charlo won.
