So I read online on multiple places that Genadi speaks 4 languages one of them being German. Considering the glimpse I took of him speaking English I bet he doesn't speak German for it to count as 1 language that he speaks. Is there a video of him speaking German.

He did live in Germany a few years but that's as a grown up and German is very difficult.

Usually never watching boxing but Canelo vs GGG sounds dope. When is that fight anyways. Who's expected to win. I'm picking the 32 year old over the 40 year old.
 
Of course Golovkin speaks Deutsch. He turned pro in Germany and lived there for several years. His first language is Russian but naturally he's also fluent in Kazakh. As far as his English and German are concerned they're serviceable. There are lots of bilingual/multilingual fighters. The Klitschkos for example. Both brothers also turned pro in Germany and lived there for years.

I've heard Golovkin speak German early on in his career. If you go back far enough, circa 2006–2009, you should be able to find him doing this. I'm not sure why it's that important to you but there's your timeline. That early period in his career covers his first 18 professional fights. All but one of them were staged in Germany.

Yeah this thread kinda sucks when I think about it. Weird how youtube doesn't have some quick video of it when you type it in. Klitschkos def speak fluid German with a Ukrainian accent. As far as I'm concerned we can wastelands this thread.

One from Klits was real PhD level material ...
The same Briedis. While his english if to talk sucks even if compare with my english....he isn't dumb and might understand IRL english only speaking trainer...

Golovkin too isn't cocky if about languages...
Just maybe writing and talking is ....
+ guy is a boxer.
 
Pretty sure his german extends to "big drama show and "Canelo is a bitch"

Yeah there's many German based fighters that aren't actually German. My bro told me that Germany wanted to pay Pulev to represent them instead of Bulgaria and he told them to fuck off.

Idk if that's true b/c my bro is half retarded but the point still stands where you see guys like Arthur Abraham who's Armenian, iirc, The Klits who are obv Ukrainian, Robert Stieglitz who I think is actually from Russia.

Other fighters defect to Germany, Yoel Romero's bro defected to Germany iirc, I forget his name. Germany gives a lot of opportunities to foreign fighters to base their camps, homes at and a lot of fans seem to take them in as their own, which is pretty cool imo.

They don't take them as their own in a literal way, they just like Germany being represented in a successful way. Generally a quarter of Germany aren't Germans anymore.

90% of German successful boxers aren't even German.
 
Naw.
Cos he had lived in Germany etc ....

You'd be suprised how bad peoples German as even if they lived there, if they didn't immigrate early in life. There's even people who are in Germany 8 years and don't speak German at all. Well most pick up some German or good German but a few don't at all if they keep a circle of their native language speakers. Well just if they work some phisical job where they don't speak no German at all like construction.

Isn't Aruthur beloved over there tho? Even tho he's not technically German they seem to love him and for good reason he was one helluva fighter in his day.
 
You mean my thread is trash


I claim my thread is p4p top 10 in the 70 iq class
you got a lot of competition in that class on this website
but that does make you over qualified for the war room and heavies
 
Most people tend to speak their native language, English, and then claim some kind of third.

Technically I can speak Irish, Dutch and Japanese, just not in a manner that's fluent. If I'm outside any of these countries or near no one who speaks it, I'm a bilingual genius but when I have to contend with it directly I shell up.

A lot of people claim to be bilingual when they're not really, so I guess I get what TS is asking, but I have no idea about GGG personally. I've heard Mc Greagor claiming to speak Irish but it's pretty apparent to me when he speaks it that he's about as fluent as any third-year student trying to scrape a pass in ordinary irish.

Also, English is absolutely fucking everywhere and everyone is told from day 1 to speak it, which leads people into taking it for granted as if the whole thing isn't full of caveats.

I'm actually fluent in German and Croatian. English is my third language. I spoke both German and Croatian as a child. And lived in both language Areas while growing up, so I'm equally fluent. And my English is fluent too, that is a learned skill, with youtube, social media and the internet, and school. Besides that I was bad in school.

With language areas I mean to say German and Croatian are not just spoken there but some countries got their version of those language. As in Austria or former Jugoslawian countries. I'm sort of trying to be not too personal online and obviously failng at it.

Basically Austrian is German with a different accent.
Croatian is the same as Serbian, Bosnian and Montengrian. Macedonian is extremely close. Slovenian is probably extremely close too, never bothered to check it or ran into slovenes. Even Bulgarian is like Croatian / Serbian.
Switz now is kinda different like a funny weird German.


I was sort of like I speak 3 languages and this guy speaks 4, one of them being German, I bet he doesn't really speak it though. I got a buddy in Germany he lives here for probably 8 years and I am being serious when I say he can't say 1 full sentence in German, he literary doesn't speak German at all. At his construction job he is surrounded with his language, so also in private as there are quiet a few jugoslawian bars and people and he never has to learn German.

I think even my uncle was like that he was in Germany a few years and didn't even speak it, that was long ago though.


I bet GG sounds broken in German ;). But of course I respect the man. He is a world class fighter, not linguist.
