Comments Thread For: Fernando Guerrero Approaches Golovkin, Requests Fight

[New England]

People, seriously, GGG is not a star. alll this talk of him not having anything to gain by fighting these guys is silly. austin trout has a bigger name right now. These fights are perfect for GGG to take st this point in his hbo career. And I dont think that any of the non champion fighters are afraid to fight him because they have nothing to lose in defeat anyway. Maybe a martinez who has a name, an andre ward or julio chavez who has names and position would have reason to duck him, but not guys like guerrero and rosado.

oh, i think it's a legit fight for him to be taking. he's not a star. i think a good deal of the golovkin "hype" doesn't concern how good he is, but how he fights.

he's a monster. he's got heavy hands and what looks like a terrific chin. this isn't like losing to anselmo moreno, and being made to look bad. this is losing to one of the hardest punchers in boxing. he beat the hell out of proksa. he put ouma in the hospital for many days.

it's not a fight that's being scoffed at, imo. it's just a brutal proposition for guerrero, who is smaller and has been stopped before by a much lesser fighter. he won't be able to hurt golovkin, and he's not going to take his punches well either.

I got to admire Robert for being very brave but GGG is just too much for him.

Golovkin has nothing to gain in that fight, Guerrero got knocked out by journeyman Grady Brewer, a win won't advance GGG's career any further. He should fight somebody like Darren Barker.

Barker still has much rebuilding to do. Barker should fight Hope and then Proksa.

Guerrero sucks, no wonder he's taking this fight. This whole division is pathetic. Your job is to fight, so fight. People scared of Golovkin, that's sad. Quilin, Pirog, or Rodriguez should be demanding this fight, not running from it.

Peter already ran when he offered him a title earlier this year

Admire Fernando for willing to fight a notorious hard-hitter, but there are several other middleweight matchups for GGG I'd rather see at the moment.
