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

[MDPopescu]

Talk about ducking yet you stay in that division to feast on guys that no one truly cares about. I remember the days of when Paul Williams was going from 147-160 looking for fights because no one wanted to fight him. He wasn't waiting around. He wasn't fighting guys that needed to move up to fight him. He'd meet them from 147-160.

The good ole days

Just who would have wanted to fight at 147 a guy who is Height: 6' 1" (185cm) in height and has a reach of 79" (201cm)?

You stay until they fight you. Moving up lets them off the hook. The good ole day was Monzon and Hagler.

I'd agree if there wasn't talks of having another guy move up in weight to fight him. Kirkland. If fights ain't being made, then keep looking for other avenues. Don't be at a standstill

then ward is ducking Stevenson if you want to put it that way. stevensons team offered ward a 2 deal fight.

Yup, I guess he is. I forgot the part where Ward was fighting guys with no shot against him.

Just who would have wanted to fight at 147 a guy who is Height: 6***8242; 1***8243; (185cm) in height and has a reach of 79***8243; (201cm)?

I see you tend to get a bit defensive when it comes to GGG. My answer to you is simply that not many WWs did. That's why Paul went and fought in other divisions to avoid being stuck in a division no one wanted to fight him in

Another a*s*s clown!

yeah yeah Sanchez, we already got it that ur ultimate can crushing machine got the balls only to face light middlweight stiffs.

Another no nothing wannabe the expert on the sweet science talking out his a*s*s! Why is it that the chumps who have never had a real fight, let alone laced up the gloves and stepped into the ring to put his life on the line, are always the ones claiming that someone is fighting a tomato can! I boxed and anyone who laces up the gloves has my respect, some more than other but nevertheless I respect anyone who steps into the ring to put his life on the line in this sport. Until you do the same you won't know what it's like! And spare me the BS and don't try to come back with some bs that you box because if you did you wouldn't be talking out your a*s*s then! Off to bed now son, I think your mom is warming up your milk! "peeleft:

Hagler could get fights, Golovkin seemingly can't.

If Golovkin still can't get fights by 2015 then he should just move up.

Funny you mentioned Hagler, who was avoided for years and after he finally got a crack and won, still had to wait a long time for the "Names" to move up and fight him.

[Russian Crushin]

Its pretty clear that those who want him to move up simply want him to lose

Paul Williams was a pure phenomenon in boxing... The guy was at least a LHW... One cannot compare Williams with other fighters -- it's pointless...

Well Golovkin is promoted by the K brothers who work out of Germany so I wouldn't see why this fight couldn't be made in Germany.
Quillin is tied to Showtime, but with Golden Boy trying to rebuild that relationship with HBO, it could be a way to get back with HBO. A Quilling/Golovkin fight.

Keep dreaming pal while Golovkin pumping up his fake record.

And if Sergio doesn't want a part of Golovkin...

that's it, done, end of story, forget it.

And again if he moves up to 168 there is no guarantee he fights Ward right away. Ward is in dispute with his own promoter

It's not about Ward, we're talking about fight legit opposition finally.

The guys is like 32 yo got 10 title defence.... against who?

jeez

[IronDanHamza]

Bullsh$t. Name a fighter in the same situation.

Bhop had 20 title defenses at 160. Hagler stay at 160 his entire career.


Carlos Monzon. The list goes on.

Well Hopkins should have moved up well before he got to 20 title defenses.

Monzon and Hagler had no 168 to move to.

[IronDanHamza]

Funny you mentioned Hagler, who was avoided for years and after he finally got a crack and won, still had to wait a long time for the "Names" to move up and fight him.

Yeah agreed but once he got his shot he got fights.

Golovkin can't even get a shot. If he still can't get a shot he should move on.

If he get's the shot, by all means stay.
