Golovkin wants Hopkins and Mayweather

[jaestix1]

No but Sergio is, and would go down. Canelo definitely isn't the best either, but he's better than Cotto/Guerrero h2h, and at this point the biggest money fight around. If he gets past Trout, all the more so, he's gonna be huge.

and canelo is most likely floyd's first option for his next fight if he beats trout, if martinez is serious about floyd he should come down to 154 and prove he can still be effective at that weight......my point is you were acting as if ggg was great option for floyd @154 when ggg hasn't even done much in his own weight class.

no Ward? no Dawson or Froch?...WTF is going on with the game?...too many thirsty cats and not enough hungry lions.... Floyd is 13 pounds away and the great B.Hop is 15 pounds away....must be a publicity stunt...I don't think the dude is that corny...just gonna give him the benefit of doubt...I guess he needs more twitter huggers or something...both kings would school him IMO but neither resume would be enhanced by doing so

It's not like Golovkin isn't trying to make fights in his division. No one at the top will fight him. This seems more like a "I'll fight anyone" type thing to say.

Fine. I don't think this is a callout to be taken serious. But I noticed several Floyd fans laboring to point out Floyd is a welter, so somehow off bounds at 154. It goes against his billing as 2x SWW champ, currently ranked #1 everywhere. You'd expect a guy like that to be willing to take on anyone at the weight.

I'm not big on Canelo, but if he gets past Trout he'll have proven a lot. And obviously would be Floyd toughest h2h matchup in a while. So big credit to Floyd if he goes that route, but I'm seeing some of his fans already preemptively excusing him from fighting natural SWWs.

another name to add to the Mayweather "duck" list, GGG should give ward his rematch from the olympics

That was Dirrell, and that'd be an interesting fight if he ever comes back

$500k is nothing. You think a fighter just gets $500k and walks away with it all jolly to the bank? Rodriguez would be lucky, after every one gets their cut, to even have half of that "half a million".

Refer to the Juan Manuel Marquez article quoting him saying how much he actually takes home after paying taxes and giving every one their cut.

When people say "Damn, this fighter turned down this much [some low 6 digit number]." I know they don't even know what they're talking about.

According to official NSAC documents, Erik Morales got a guarantee $350k against Pablo Cano, he really only took home a mere $90k.

Yeah sure fighters only take home a small amount of their purse but the point is it's still better than no purse at all. How much will Rodriguez make in his next fight? Why did he turn down half a mil to fight a smaller man?

[thuggery]

Floyd fans really been hating on GGG ever since his breakout win... I wonder why.

Not really imo. Golovkin cuts off the ring and stops him.

Yeah it's that simple.
