Comments Thread For: Martinez's Adviser: Golovkin Needs To Fight Curtis Stevens

[LOWBLOW_CHAMP]

sergio needs to remember his quest for chavez jr. he did what he had to do to make sure he got his shot and made it where chavez had no choice but to face him. if ggg gets a couple of the right wins sergio will have to give him his shot

Good post!

I doubt HBO will go for this. Curtis Stevens looks strong...but who's he?

Ok so with the fighters ggg has beaten you think he is the number 1 contender without fighting quillon?

By default yes, because the rest avoid him like the plague. GGG should not have to sit and wait on the sidelines any longer, while everyone else keeps re-shuffling their deck to avoid him. He has waited long enough for a shot at the big time and now he has a Major Network backing him.

Fair enough,good post....

Cro, GGG said shortly after the Macklin fight that he could easily make 154 for a Floyd fight.

Hitking, for the type of money he stands to make by fighting Floyd, I too would say that I can easily make the super-flyweight limit of 115.

It doesn't mean anything. He will say it like others have said, LOSE, and then subtly make excuses (a.k.a. legitimate excuse) about it later on as the months pass by, while enjoying the extra 5 million he made.

I think he could make it pretty easy. He said he'd go down for Floyd, Canelo, even Cotto. He's never been above 170 fight night, many SWWs go beyond that. His trainer says he comes into camp at about 165 iirc

GGG and Quillin have wanted Martinez for the last 2 years. I think almost getting KO'd by a pothead bum who went life and death with Zbik sealed his fate as a duck.

Him making weight without struggle is not the central point. It's all that comes with it.

Like:

1. Punch resistance - not relevant as Floyd is not a big puncher himself.

2. Stamina - relevant.

3. His own punching power - does he lose some of the weight behind his punches by going down to a weight he hasn't been at (in years maybe or at all? I haven't checked boxrec whether he started out as a Jr.Middle.). His punching power certainly is a key ingredient to his success. He looks like a guy capable of carrying his punching power up in weight but down? Nobody knows.

I ain't real big on excuses. Especially weight drain excuses when you're weighing in at least 30hrs before you enter the ring. People went crazy when DLH looked like **** against Pac. But what they fail to realize is that DLH was drained because he chose not to rehydrate until after the lil HBO night of weigh-in. He didn't wanna be accused of fighting a lil guy and actually weighed less than Pac the night of the fight.
