Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer Sees No Reason To Move Up, For Now

[BattlingNelson]

Makes perfect sense.

There are zero unification opportunities for him at 160. What is Sanchez talking about? Quillin is on Showtime and Sturm is gonna Sturm. If Sanchez himself is saying Martinez is never getting in the ring with Golovkin, then why the hell is he sticking around at 160 for? There's an article every freaken week with Sanchez saying it's not going to happen. What opportunities haven't been exhausted?

Martinez also said he wanted to unify 154, but nobody wanted to fight him so he moved up. In fact, pretty much every freaken fighter in the world says they want to unify the division before facing the realities of how impossible it is. It's a non nonsensical goal.

^^^ Totally agree.

He's going to become lineal. Just because his handlers rustled your jimmies with statements they've said, you're getting butthurt

Golovkin himself actually did, boasted during his posts fight statement after annihilating Ishida, IIRC.

What's your next pass for GGG?

Im pretty sure we can all agree that we want Ward to fight Adonis/Kovalev.
But I cant be the only GGG fan who wants to ses Ward/GGG. I got both in my favorite 10, but some of you guys are posting like you don't want to see that fight. Of course some want guys to move up to lose (Floyd, Pac). But sometimes you have to move up for a challenge, if no one good is willing to fight you (Adonis, GGG). 160 been ducking GGG for like 2years now, Quillon excluded. Hbo wont work with GB, and GGG said they're loyal to HBO. I mean honest question, do you guys want to see Ward/GGG? If so, can you agree that fight has to happen before Ward moves up?

Yes. And yes.

Kid Chocolate is not running. He's a GBP fighter, which means he's exclusive to Showtime. Which means the fight can't be made at the moment. Sturm is on his last leg and is very fortunate the Barker situation happen like it did. And at this point, a fight with he and GGG would pretty much be a waste of time. Serg had better options on the table. If GGG's purpose for staying at 60 is to unify titles. He's gonna be there a long time fighting a lotta meaningless opponens while "waiting." More power to him.

This ^^^, pretty much.

So, Ward is the center of the universe, isn't he?

No, excepting that GGG personally boasted after the Ishida(?) fight, that he would fight Ward "anytime."

As you make your bed, so shall you lay on it.

Abel Sanchez: "Martinez will never fight Golovkin"

Reporter: "Why don't you move up to 168 and fight Ward?"

Abel Sanchez: "We're going to fight Martinez first"

Reporter: "Who do you want next"?

Abel Sanchez: "Chavez Jr at 168."

I don't get why people aren't honest with themselves at simply admit the truth. This has nothing to do with unifying the division or whatever first. It's about the risk is being to high for the reward to move up and fight the likes of Ward. Yes, I know it's not sexy to admit that the fearless Golovkin isn't actually totally without fear. I actually think it's fair enough, but these round about excuses are annoying the fuck out of me.

LOL at that dialog involving Sanchez!

Triple G is a marketing genius, look how many replies he gets

[duwdu]

I was posting about posters acceptance level not saying specifically that GGG has fought all bums. I dont think his resume warrants p4p

I do think that he is given a pass by his fans for fights that if ward or quillin had made they would be highly critical, even if they won by KO like GGG.

Adama, and if made, Lee, are not the level of opponents a supposedly top 5 p4p and best MW in the world should be fighting. You think the same posters that anointed GGG with these titles would call quillin the same if he had the same resume.

I don't.

This is a well-reasoned post, and I agree with it.

That's a horrible resume for a 32yr old decorated amateur that's been a pro nearly a decade. And one that's supposed the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Whoa... You're taking no prisoners, @hitking.
