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

Its the truth, is it not?

Yea I agree with you. To erase all doubt he needs the Sergio fight

[zuz]

Floyd's proven himself throughout his career and can only be challenged by going up in weight. GGG hasn't even become lineal at middleweight yet. You want a guy whose only opposition at 160 has been less than mediocre to fighting an elite super middleweight who's p4p#2?

Why not?

He's can crusher fighter of the year according to ring magazine, isn't he?

Remember that?

UPDATE:


Now get tha phuk out of here... u don't know **** about boxing.

Nice dodging of my question. But sorry for hurting your feelings my ******ed friend. Fighters say a lot of things they might not mean ("Manny, you're next" or "Cotto is undefeatd cause Pac fought him at a CW"), though nowhere in your quote is he saying he doesn't care about a 15m purse

Because when he's lineal, it'll be harder for you to talk shit

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



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

The talk is Lee now. Kirkland is on the undercard

[diarraisagod]

As someone else pointed out I don't see how his position is much different from Ward's. The whole argument about him moving up is as valid as saying Andre Ward should do the same. Infact I'd say GGG has more valid opponents at his weight class than Ward does at his. He can fight Andy Lee (Which while isn't spectacular is OK) and then fight the Sturm/Murray winner in Europe, a Daniel Geale fight would still be interesting too. He can have a solid 2014 at middleweight... Ward however has no legitiate challengers at 168, I mean who else can they even sell a fight with right now? Stieglitz? Lol, not gonna happen. Stevenson/Kovalev vs Ward at 175 is interesting, more interesting than GGG vs Ward at 168 imo.

[Evil Abed]

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

Monzon and Hagler had no 168 to move to.

168 was officially created in 1967. 5 years before Hagler went Pro.

GGG is looking suspect. He's like Gary Russell Jr right now. They want you to believe it's everyone else's fault that they're not fighting TOP competition. At some point it gets old!

168 was officially created in 1967. 5 years before Hagler went Pro.

Right but surely you understand the difference between the Super MW division in the 1960's as opposed to when it was something that actually mattered? It wasn't considered legitimate until long after.

Hagler wasn't even fighting when the Super Middleweight Division was considered a legitimate weight class I don't think or atleast he was at the tail end of his career.
