attitude as bad as his odor
But it does limit how high you can rate him. He is being rated higher than that.

I was a big GGG fan. I’m an objective boxing fan tho so I dnt hardcore Stan. I’m not going to agree with everything a fighter do. Stans like you and Gz never call a spade a spade. GGG been saying for years all the belts. When he had the chance he passed it up. GGG been saying for years people ducking him now when he got the chance he waiting on a Canelo fight. ADD to the fact that since he stepped up in comp he been looking average. A top 5 MW of all time should dispatch Danny Jacobs and a Canelo who only decided to fight half the rounds.. GGG trying to secure the bag and he isn’t as good as advertised. That’s how i see him now.
Other fighters have never gotten the best MW ever tag and been called most feared fighter of this error. So when he gets the chance to prove all this talk he failed. He failed with Jacobs and Canelo. So his criticism is valid. Ever fighter get criticized Wilder, Swift, TC, Thurman. So Dnt act like people just picking on GGG most people just done with his games. Name one fights that doesn’t get shyt on
...I’ll wait

Lomachenko-Linares Had Peak Viewership of 1,749,000 on ESPN
By Keith Idec
Vasiliy Lomachenko-Jorge Linares was the most-watched boxing match on cable television in 2018.
According to Nielsen Media Research statistics released Wednesday, Lomachenko’s 10th-round technical knockout of Linares drew a peak audience of 1,749,000 on Saturday night for ESPN. The average audience during that main event from Madison Square Garden was 1,439,000.
When the broadcast began at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, 529,000 viewers were watching. Thus the audience more than tripled from the time it began until it reached its peak during the 10th round of Lomachenko-Linares.

Prior to Saturday night, the Gennady Golovkin-Vanes Martirosyan middleweight title fight drew the highest ratings of any boxing match on cable in 2018. Golovkin’s second-round knockout of Martirosyan attracted a peak audience of 1,361,000 and an average audience of 1,249,000 on May 5 from StubHub Center in Carson, California.
Golovkin-Martirosyan was broadcast by HBO, a premium cable channel that has a U.S. subscriber base of roughly 32,000,000. ESPN, a basic cable network, is available in approximately 86 million homes in the United States.
As BoxingScene.com reported Tuesday, the average audience for ESPN’s entire two-bout broadcast Saturday night was 1,024,000. The telecast began with welterweight prospect Carlos Adames’ 10-round, unanimous-decision victory over Alejandro Barrera.
The average rating for Lomachenko-Linares was higher than all but one of Top Rank’s first five ESPN boxing broadcasts in 2018.
The only Top Rank/ESPN broadcast that lured a higher average audience overall in 2018 was the card headlined by Oscar Valdez’s victory over Scott Quigg in a WBO featherweight championship match March 10. That telecast from StubHub Center was watched by an average audience of 1,100,000.
Lomachenko-Linares also ranked No. 3 among all shows on cable television Saturday night, sports and non-sports, in viewers ages 18-49, a coveted demographic for advertisers.
Viewers witnessed a highly competitive, compelling battle between tremendous technical boxers.
Ukraine’s Lomachenko (11-1, 9 KOs) was behind on one scorecard – 84-86, 86-84 and 85-85 – when the skillful southpaw unloaded a diverse, 10-punch combination to Linares’ head that opened up a chance to land a perfectly placed left hook to Linares’ liver in the 10th round.
That punch temporarily paralyzed Linares and sent him to one knee. The 32-year-old Linares (44-4, 27 KOs) reached his feet just before referee Ricky Gonzalez’s count got to 10, but Gonzalez determined Linares shouldn’t continue and stopped their bout at 2:08 of the 10th round.
The 30-year-old Lomachenko took the WBA world lightweight title from Venezuela’s Linares in his debut at 135 pounds. The two-time Olympic gold medalist also became a world champion in a third weight class in only his 12th professional fight.
