Comments Thread For: John Ryder: Golovkin in Kazakhstan in December Would Be The Dream

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

John Ryder has been told that if Gennady Golovkin opts to box again then he will be first in line for the fight. Ryder turned 35 on Wednesday and his birthday celebrations consisted of a session in the gym with Tony Sims and some dinner at home with his young family.

John, you've got a better chance at a Canelo rematch.

GGG suspected Sanchez of sabotaging him in Mexico. They had an ugly divorce, and Golovkin has never been the same again.

Sanchez coached Golovkin to fight on his best qualities -- super hard punching power, unusual physical strength, relentless pressure, and the ability to take a punch, which pressure fighters have to do. It was a stellar combination of strengths and tactics, such that for much of his career, no A-list fighter would get in the ring with him. As Sanchez put it, "He backs you up to the ropes and makes you think he's going to kill you."

Jonathon Banks tried to turn GGG into something different, something clever and foxy and complex. It never worked. The showcase for the failure was the Murata fight. Murata was actually doing very well in the fight until GGG appears to have gotten ticked off, jettisoned his coaching, and then started aggressively ****ing Murata until his brain went into orbit. It was a moment of the old Golovkin.

But all that's over now. I think that if GGG were to reconcile with Sanchez for one last hurrah against Ryder, you might see the old Golovkin return and win in violent fashion. But I don't think that's going to happen. GGG has made his fortune, lost the fire and aggression, and is ready to do something else with his life. Zab Judah famously said that Floyd Mayweather "train like he ain't got a dollah." Golovkin looks to be past the point of ever wanting to do that again.

GGGeezer by another Jacobs, Derevyanchenko type robbery.

But, he won't fight Ryder. Too risky for retirement check.

He should have fought Falcao and retired.

It would be nice to see Ryder vs GGG in Kazakhstan & then maybe one last fight back home before calling it a day.
Ryder is like a modern day Cinderella Man.
Always showed up to fight even when he didn't have much of a chance at winning

[bullydean]

If it happens I have Ryder winning if the Canelo fight didn't leave significant damage.

[TheIronMike]

Par the course for "Hagler Killer" GGG

[crimsonfalcon07]

Munguía would be a better retirement check, methinks.
