Roach: "In a couple more fights Golovkin will be the best PFP fighter in the world"

roach obviously sees what many other people with some boxing knowledge see, ggg is a very gifted fighter. i think gg ko's canelo and cotto, cotto within 6 and canelo within 10, i dont think they are big enough or good enough to trouble ggg too much. i see ggg vs ward as pretty even.

If you say so. Remind me, who the fcuk are you? Just a 40+ year boxing fan with the ability to look at things objectively. That's all.

The baton will be taken by either Ward, Golovkin or Canelo. One of these men will be the face of the sport. Luckily, they kind of all can face one another. I don't think Andre Ward will ever be the face of boxing, regardless if he becomes #1 lb/lb. With his style he simply doesn't captivate the masses like the other two.

All of this might be true or it might be a bunch of BS, either way GGG doesn't get included in the P4P discussion without a couple of wins over this class of competition If you say so. Remind me, who the fcuk are you?

Real comp for me would be Cotto/Canelo/Ward/Froch/Kessler. I dont care about top 5-10 fighters from the ring magazine who get their paycheck and disappear. So a couple of names who have achieved nothing at 160lbs and three SMWs...ok.

Cotto, Froch dont want it. Canelo, maybe eventually but thats out of GGG's hands. Kessler seems retired. Ward might be willing after those tuneups, and beating such a proven #2 p4per one division up would bring him pretty close to #1 p4p, agreed?

If he's much too good for his weightclass, thats p4p cred right there. But you didnt answer, whats real comp? Real comp for me would be Cotto/Canelo/Ward/Froch/Kessler. I dont care about top 5-10 fighters from the ring magazine who get their paycheck and disappear.

Usually stay away from P4P talks because I don't care for arguing about something so fantastical, but I'll bite this time. The only way GGG becomes #1 is if he beats Ward/Cotto/Canelo. I don't think there's any other way to shoot up the rankings as quick as Roach thinks he will.

im supposed to be impressed by demolishing top 10 opposition in one of the weakest division in boxing ? God you must be a fan of Stevenson and Bute i guess. If he's much too good for his weightclass, thats p4p cred right there. But you didnt answer, whats real comp?

On a side note what is up with Thaboxingvoice? This guy could be interviewing a flyweight and would ask about GGG. His obsession with the guy is pretty disturbing.

Whats real opposition? Hes about to fight his 6th Ring top ten rated opponent in 2.5 years. Doubt many other fighters fought as many top tenners in that span im supposed to be impressed by demolishing top 10 opposition in one of the weakest division in boxing ? God you must be a fan of Stevenson and Bute i guess.

First step would be to stop fighting garbage and fight real opposition, the guy is 32 for god sake. Whats real opposition? Hes about to fight his 6th Ring top ten rated opponent in 2.5 years. Doubt many other fighters fought as many top tenners in that span

GGG best P4P in a couple of fights? If he beats the winner of Canelo/Cotto and beats Ward, he can be in the conversation. But if he's content to beat the hell out of the second raters (Murray, Lee, etc) forget about it.

:lol1::lol1: not if he continues to fight tomato cans. I like GGG but who has he beat again?

Does good mean he says what your want to hear and bad mean he says what you dont want to hear ? Not at all, for me it means that he's actually speaking his mind instead of talking trash.

freddie gives good interviews when hes not trying to hype a fight

Canelo is 24, Golovkin 32. And by 32 Canelo will be worn down. He has been fighting for a while now as a pro..... Golovkin went pro much later in his life, will have a longer fight life, unless he goes thru war after war which will shorten that fight life greatly.
