Comments Thread For: Golovkin: No Big Fights at 168, I Make 160 Easy - I'm Not Big 160

[Prince Madison]

Gilberto Ramirez is 34-0 with 24 knockouts. Him vs GGG would make for an interesting fight. The way Golovkin dismisses him right out of hand proves that he's a *****.

yeah 'nothing special' was probably a bit harsh, just no real massive names. I agree though, i would like to see him fight ramirez if noone good steps up at middle

[GaryMSchneider]

Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin, (35-0, 32KO's), who holds the WBC, WBA, IBF and IBO middleweight world titles, sees no reason to move up to 168-pounds and purse opportunities in a new division.

Almost every comment is by simple minded haters of GGG.....you have to wonder why they even read the GGG articles if they hate so much and make such dumb comments...

Sounding a lot like the ginger boy he seems to make fun of all the time. at the same time he did say he was embarrassing the division by fighting welterweight then turns around and does the exact same thing. Someone should really put a muzzle on this guy. Keeps sticking his foot in his mouth

[Kagami Taiga]

Do you have any evidence they would've moved into it?

Why wouldn't they have? It made zero sense to fight light heavyweights. In fact the division was created to bridge the huge gap between the two. And that's why Leonardo dragged the light heavy champ Ladonde down to fight him in its inaugural fight. No need to defend so hard. It's not the same thing. We all know that.

GGG is right. Ranirez hasnt best anyone of note.
Abraham was a shot fighter one division above his best weight. Degale and and jack arent big time fighters.
If anything those three shoyld be focused on fighting eachother and seperating themselves from one another

Saunders ,eubank jr , jacobs, quillen, sturm, all ducked GGG . This is an era where guys avoid title shots .

cotto ,canelo, martinez all avoided GGG in unification fights .

That is called a pattern. Whether you are a ward fan or a canelo fan , or even a floyd fan, this is all documented and not one poster can prove otherwise.

When it comes to ward, he admitted he couldnt even make 168 , on top of that he couldnt even fight with being shelved by goosen.

Floyd didnt want none . Why would he , he is a little guy and would have took damage at the end of his career.

I would love for anyone to dispute what ive stated. Show facts.

Wife was at that fight. Pass the hallway picture of her and her dad in the stands everyday

True. What about after him? SMW division not all that great either. Is it worth it to move up and then back down again? It would be nice if he did though. Just to see what he's made of but what would we do in his shoes?Considering his age and what not.

They have been promising to do that for the last FOUR YEARS.

A GGG fan saying another fighter hasnt beaten anyone of note is like a twillight zone episode

Another dumb ass emotional post that doesn't even address the discussion point.

1. Never said I wanted to see Jacobs vs Golovkin in this thread. Just pointed out that K2 hasn't attempted to make that fight after someone said Team GGG "sought" a fight against Jacobs.

2. For the record you are the troll. Trolls do exactly what you just did. Reply to a discussion between two people with jibberish that doesn't even fit into the discussion all to make a point or create an argument.

3. In the last few articles posted Trip has said he has 2-3 years left in the ring and wants to make the "big" fights before he walks away. When you call fighting one of the 168 champs a "regular" fight, what else can "big" mean? Have yet to see a popular fight not make big money.

4. Troll a Martha Stewart thread because you're not good at this boxing thing.

Loeffler recently contacted Haymon to ask about the possibility of any of his guys fighting GGG. I'm sure he would have asked about Jacobs then, and probably at other times too.

If you think that boxing promoters and managers run to the media with every conversation they have behind the scenes, you are even dumber than I thought.

Again, GGG is the champion and Jacobs is just a contender. So which one of them should be chasing a fight with the other?

Jacobs doesn't want to fight GGG. Time for you idiots to shut up about him and leave the poor guy to get on with defending his "regular" title on PBC shows.

Excuse, excuse, excuse...

of course Ward, Degale, Ramirez are not big cash cow like Canelo, Cotto, Froch, But at least they are far better than mismatches like Wade, Eubank Jr, Brook.

What was worse, team GGG even used Degale's name for hiding the fact that GGG fights a welterweight guy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We tried to do the fight with Canelo - didn't work. We tried to do the fight with Billy Joe Saunders, that didn't go very far. Then the Eubank thing looked like it was going to happen. Look, if Eddie Hearn would have called and said 'Eubank won't fight but James DeGale will' - we would have done that fight as well," Loeffler told BoxingScene.com.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But now, they confirmed that GGG will not move up to 168lbs because guys like Degale, Ramirez, Jack are not big names...lol

Like I said before, team GGG just looking for less-risk money fight. They have no interest in testing GGG's limits. That's why guys like Chocolatito, Ward, Lomachenko, Bud Crawford deserve to be respected, but GGG doesn't.

P.S. - When they negotiated with Chavez jr and Froch, Team GGG confirmed that GGG can move down to 160 after he fight in 168, so that excuse("In 160 GGG can fight Canelo but in 168 there are nothing!") is useless...lol

Exactly, great post !

That is the kind of two-faced rubbish they have been pulling for the last FOUR YEARS.

All I have ever said is that Golovkin is subject to the exact same risk/reward decisions as any other fighter.

Except now you would have to call Golovkin ' protected '...... what with all the lies and failed fights.

Dude is a made man.
