IBF orders Golovkin vs Wade, sides apparently negotiating

I'm told that Golovkin-Wade is agreed to and approved by HBO. April 23, likely at the Forum in LA. #boxing— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) February 2, 2016 Yea yea mando... but Wade is horrendous shit

The WBA was suppose to make their announcement. Have you heard anything? They're not gonna do anything until WBC make their ruling....so nothing

It's crazy, wade has had 3 10 round fights and he's the number 3 contender in the IBF? That BS. Korobov would have been a way better fight than Wade..smh At this point I prefer Korobov off a year and a tune-up to Wade... Wade is pure garbage

translation: I understand he has to do his mando and its not his fault that Saunders is scared and Johnson is hurt. And I know you're relatively stupid but even still you have to acknowledge that its pretty hard to face "good" opponents when they would sooner jump into a friggin volcano than fight you...... If GGG's intention was to ever fight good fighters, he would have moved to super middleweight long ago and had a stronger talent pool to work with.

It's crazy, wade has had 3 10 round fights and he's the number 3 contender in the IBF? That BS. Korobov would have been a way better fight than Wade..smh Add to these that Wade never fought at 160 -- all his fights were above the middleweight limit.

With Johnson hurt, IBF has moved on its rankings and ordered GGG to face Dominic Wade. IBF says the sides are negotiating. #boxing— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) January 26, 2016 Worse possible opponent... he's ass. Prefer Korobov off a year layoff and tune up fight to Wade. I forgot since he technically won, the IBF moved him up in rankings It's crazy, wade has had 3 10 round fights and he's the number 3 contender in the IBF? That BS. Korobov would have been a way better fight than Wade..smh

Whats with the IBF and their terrible Rankings. its like they are trying to make a mockery of their belts

Yea, Ward is the worst managed fighter since Winky Wright. The two are actually quite similar in a lot of ways tbh. But sticking to the topic... The world will be his oyster if he beats Canelo, that's what happens. Concretely shouldn't have trouble unifying all 4 belts, then moving up for the biggest fight available

Then he sues his promoter and loses 3x, sits out for 3+ years, fights Gary O Sullivan at 165 etc Yea, Ward is the worst managed fighter since Winky Wright. The two are actually quite similar in a lot of ways tbh. But sticking to the topic...

Smh........

I think it is telling that HBO is willing to allow for a mandatory defense against a Haymon fighter when it feels it's interests are at danger but won't allow for it other times. Furthermore Golovin fans need to be honest with themselves. Let's say Golovin gets the Canelo fight, beats Canelo, then what? Who's he fighting? These mandatory national level guys like Heiland, Wade, and Johnson. Or a gatekeeper like Lee? A bulk of the top talent from 154 to 168 is with Haymon. And unless that changes drastically in the near future, those are the fights we are gonna wanna see. Then he sues his promoter and loses 3x, sits out for 3+ years, fights Gary O Sullivan at 165 etc

LMAO at using a fight that Haymon already blocked once when it was all agreed, and that has since become torturous to actually make, as an example of Haymon allowing his fighters to fight on HBO :lol1: Do you not understand? He has PAID for timeslots on other channels. HBO is the platform he needs to strangle to boost his own model. Haymon blocked it once but that had nothing to do with the network. So once again I fail to see your point. And yes, he has paid timeslots but that has NOT kept his fighters from fighting on SHO for instance. No paid time slots there.

gennady the ALL TIME GREAT MIDDLEWEIGHT who's 34 but still hasnt fought any ELITE competition golovkin now watch the spin on this one here golovkin is SO tough the most feared fighter in the world To be fair GGG aint no BS fighter he is no easy beat for anyone not having a amateur pedigree and the power that he has , but youre right he hasnt fought an elite fighter yet , he is no spring chicken and should have stepped up to Ward and back to Canelo , if those fights were under his belt we would know all about GGG and we normally do with any 34 yr old thats great .

i am coming down to make a bar fight in February and see if GGG gives me the chance. I'll do it for 500K Can anyone ask them i want this fight? I am a big GGG fan, but man, come on, fight the best, not the best bums.

What would be the point? GGG would be by far the biggest name any Haymon fighter has been in with. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

See this is how you get GGG vs AL guys by mandatory, GGG don't want to be Fury so the fight will get made Stevenson doesn't have to fight his mandatory because its the WBC they won't do nothing , but IBF will take away your belt

I agree this is ridiculous.
