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

Correction..

Golovkin's Trainer Sees one Reason not To Move Up, For Now

[Mr. Philadel]

Lineal title is still pretty meaningful. Without it his detractors call him paper champ. Plus Sergio is p4p rated, a great scalp for a MW.

You just gave the reasons why he should be fighting Ward....

[rey guey]

Dawson called out Ward and fought him at 168. Ward called out GGG. he should go fight him at 160.

Ward only called him out after Team Golovkin said he was the most fear fighter from 154-168.

Ward is at 168 and called him out because his people where the ones saying nobody at 168 would fight him. THEY said he'd fight anybody from 154-168.

Abel Sanchez even said Kovalev was afraid of him.


they talk tall she-at but when somebody calls them on it, it's all excuses and his fans make even more to excuse it

[Respect Power]

I can't logically disagree with Abel .. If I were him or ggg I would feel the same way .. It's like at 160 he has a great shot at beating anybody at 168 he has a great shot at getting beat by Ward . So I wouldn't want ward until I exhausted all possibilities at 160.

Let Sergio retire Cotto first then he'll smash GGG's face in for you Sanchez. Wait your turn in line, just like a good boy.

Why not move down and fight Floyd for his biggest purse? "boxing is a business".

Maybe cuz Floyd doesn't give a **** of Golovkin?
Maybe cuz Floyd fights on Showtime?

It seems u Golovkin's nuthuggers being highly delusional.

What ever he does, he should start fighting contenders. There are a lot of top ten guys that aren't that good but he keeps fighting guys that aren't ranked in the top ten.

Of course, Golovkin should pursue big fights at 160 for now. He's the best MW in the world right now.

Your statement is an oxymoron: If you already accept - and insist - that GGG is the "best" 160-pounder at the moment, then you shouldn't be encouraging him to wait around in the same division & waste away fighting tomato cans. GGG should be encouraged - in fact forced - to move up in weight & face real world challenges commensurate with his perceived prowess, no?

GGG boasted several times he would take on anyone from 154 through 168, and he included Andre Ward directly by name.

Now, GGG is refusing to move up from 160, even in the face of a rapidly growing call for him to have to face Ward. The reasonable conclusion to this, is that GGG & his handlers have started waking up to the realization that perhaps GGG would meet his waterloo in Ward. They therefore now prefer to wait around at 160, pending such a time that Ward officially moves up & away from 168.

There's only one reasonable phrase for all the above: GGG is now ducking Ward. Simple.

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

Conversely, those clamoring for him to stay put at 160, simply don't want him to lose? Hmm.

so everyone is "ducking" him at 160 and they said they would fight anyone from 160 to 175. But ward called their bluff and they come out with **** like "ggg is a star" and "no reason to move up."

^^^lol!
