Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter on Going To 168 To Face Ward, Froch

[TLC8]

Gennady Has Plenty Of Opportunity!

Cotto, Sergio, Canelo, Chavez Jr, all at 160! If Mayweather had the ballz he'd be an option, but Ward is another option. Gennady is in a great spot!

Berto beat Dirrell in the amateurs.

Berto beat Bradley in the amateurs, twice.

None of this would happen in the pros.

Next.

what are you talking about? That has nothing to do with what I said. You're an idiot. I mentioned Bute about his chin and that Golovkin KO'd him in the amateurs. I believe the same would happen in the pros. What does Berto beating Dirrell and Bradley in the amateurs have to do with Bute? Absolutely nothing.

GGG shouldn't go up to Super MW unless the money was too good to refuse...

he might even want to pull a Ward and have Ward come down to 160 to fight him

That Loeffler was saying: show the big purses and GGG will go North...
Ward has no business going down to 160 to fight Golovkin -- one can guarantee this.

[junior gong]

Any one who brings up Golovkin's points decision over Dirrell in the amateurs to argue why GGG would beat Dirrell, sorry, your opinion is invalid.

Make that any fighters win over another fighter.

Last I checked, Dr.Shaw High was still trying to help him find his testicles.

GGG has showed he's dominant over C+, B- fighters but whether he stays at MW or moves up I think he needs to start facing the elite fighters and see how he performs. Everything I've seen shows he's an elite fighter but he needs to face better competition ( Martinez , Ward, Chavez, Froch, Kessler, Quillen) or to a lesser degree ( Murray, Barker, Geale)

True.
But did you hear something from these guys you are citing above?
Did any of them call Golovkin and he refused? I didn't notice...

People saying his height, and his power will be a problem... thats ridiculous, People like Tyson and Tua were only 5'10 and 2 of the top 10 most devastating heavyweight punchers of all time. GGG is around the same height as both just of a smaller frame. I don't think he will have any problems at all at 168, if anything his frame could develop more strength and stability there. He would make Froch's corner throw in the towel without a doubt, and Ward? He would just run all night, no way is he trading with a man of this calibre.

Why would Ward trade when he can box his ears off???

Look: Ward never "trades" or "boxes"... Ward is outpointing all opponents.
(Please don't mention the Dawson fight -- it's meaningless.)

If the Martinez fight doesn't come off and Golovkin can't get a fight with either of Murray or Barker, then I can see him moving up in weight to fight either of Froch or Ward. I honestly believe he loses to both, Ward would negate his offense and keep him searching, whereas Froch would just out muscle and out hustle the smaller man.

Kessler v Golovkin would be the best fight at the weight in terms of chances of Golovkin winning. What ever happens, thanks to great promoting and broadcasting by HBO, they have managed to position Golovkin into a position where, in the next 12-18 months he will be in line for some of the biggest fights in the sport.

[Sugar Booger]

NO WAY Golovkin moves up to SM. Froch, Ward and the rest of that division will hurt that boy, badly.
