By Leigh K. Seto: In a day and age of smart phones and instant information, folklore of legends like Paul Bunyun seem as unlikely and as unheard of as Coca cola in a glass bottle. But the quiet rumbling even among the non-fanatics of boxing seem to be chirping about an undefeated fighter from Kazakhstan. Gennady Golovkin has had a slow rise amongst the flashier names and flashier styles of the sport that he has dominated foe after foe for just over a decade. His inability to garner earlier fame has been several key factors. No marquee opponents, late start in the sport and other stars getting the attention.
But as other stars fade, other stars rise. So here Golovkin is finally gaining some notoriety and respect well deserved. But with attention, also brings pundits with microscopes! The clamoring of a record full of the nameless victims and hypocrisy is also being heard now.
