Comments Thread For: Insider Notebook: Molina; No Quillin-Golovkin, Barclays

[El Presidente]

GBP playing games

GGG is more popular the Quillen. FACT
GGG most likely destroys Quillen. FACT
GBP wants nothing to do with GGG. FACT

Quillen and GBP backed themselves into a corner because he has a belt now, so mandatory challenges will come. I see a short-lived reign for "Pedro".

It's cool....wouldn't want my fighter to lose their belt so fast either.
I bet they try to fight Winky again

Golden Boy's "logic" is a thin facade. It isn't as if everybody knows who Quillin is? Moreover, how can you talk about Golovkin earning a fight? What does Quillin bring to the table? He brings little, if any money, so it is not like he is a big payday for Golovkin. Moreover, Quillin wouldn't fight Golovkin before he won that belt from N'Dam, so it isn't like it is a belt issue.

The truth of the matter is Quillin won't fight Golovkin because Golovkin is way too dangerous. Those punches that N'Dam was landing on Quillin would have been damn near fatal coming from Golovkin. Until Quillin tightens up his defense, he has no business fighting Golovkin.

Mark my words--Quillin will fight a nobody next, then do a rematch with N'Dam. That's his next two fights.

Golovkin will fight Macklin next--a decent fight.

Last I checked Golovkin was showcased in a main event on HBO in the USA. All the talk from promoters about him being unknown is absurd. They should just be honest about the situation. The fans are not ******, we know its a business and Quillin/Golovkin is a fight that might be much bigger money in a year or two than now, so they rather wait on it than rush into it. It makes sense, instead of insulting everyone saying that he's unknown.

Let's be clear here: GBP isn't ducking Golovkin because they think the fight will be worth more money at a later date. They are ducking Golovkin because they don't think their guy would beat him in a fight today.

Second, whoever said Proksa isn't world class clearly hasn't watched Proksa fight. Proksa destroyed Sebastian Sylvester one fight after Sylvester lost a split decision to Daniel Geale for the middleweight belt. Sylvester is a real middleweight contender. What Proksa did to him was impressive as hell.

Peter got offered a fight before.... i forgot what his excuse was then

[SERVILEV]

yep sounds about right! run promoters and shelter your star pupils from the likes of the dangerous Golovkin! LMBO no wants any of Golovkin!

I don't know why people are suprised

Golden Boy is just as full of siht as Arum at Top Rank.

Quillin will probably end up fighting Martin Murray or Rubio. Murray is the mandatory and it's not like it will be a difficult fight. it doesn't matter who's known or not it's about who can my guy look good against.


Golovkin doesn't have a mandatory at the moment and I doubt he'll have many takers. I highly doubt the WBA will force Geale to fight him, because the super title is really just a joke show piece of a title much like the WBC diamond belt.

Golovkin's best bet is fight whoever he can get. I could see HBO forcing a non Golden Boy or Top Rank middleweight to fight him like Macklin or Lee maybe even Pirog. Golovkin's just gotta keep that title and eventually somebody will come along.

here goes the he's not known excuse again! he just fought ndam who was a worldwide star! i bet he's gonna fight some unknown bum next as well. and i like how he says we are gonna have the guys who performed well back again....as well as malignaggi because malignaggi got beat to a pulp and that's the only place he can win a fight by robbery.
