Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Talks Lara, April Return, Monte Carlo

[zuz]

Ok now we want GGG to jump from 160 to 175 to get respect. Something Ward won't even do.

Yes... You put it the right way, this time... With a small difference Exactly the level of opposition Ward needs to date -- Andre Dirrell, Hopkins, Kovalev or Stevenson. (It's true that Ward called B-Hop out, though...)

Stop comparing Ward to an ultimate can crushing machine.

Ward's been fighting legit opposition top leveled guys for years while Golovkin fights light middleweight cans and middleweight stiffs.

Once Ward fights cans just like Golovkin does it now u compare him to that guy.

More excuses.....you can fight cans in Monte Carlo and still make bank but you can't fight Lara there for big money? Yeah, convenient excuses to avoid a tough fight.

Agree GGG is a clown. More so his fans but you called it the other day. This dudes team came out and said they wanted "Quilin" who fights on ShowTime with GBP but now they have an excuse for Lara.

[BoxingSmarts24]

Golovkin has more crossover appeal than Robert Guerrero.



Brave risk, not ******. Cotto didn't need to risk v Trout, but he did it because he's got cojones.

You keep talking about balls and "cojones" as if any fighter who boxes for a living doesn't have courage. You keep hinting that Floyd is a "ducker" or a "coward" but he knocked out your boy Hatton so what the phuck does that make Hatton for getting knocked out by a guy with no balls? Or who is a coward?

Is Hatton a "warrior" for getting knocked out by a coward? Please explain that to me haha

Hopefully GGG gets to shoot for the prize at 160 later this year. Failing Maravilla getting made GGG has to get at least 1 of Geale, Murray or Sturm (or Quillin I suppose, but that's even less likely than Sturm), preferably 2. At that point, I'd consider he no longer has an excuse for not moving up.

In, fact, I feel Golovkins team should already be looking at gatekeeper / contender level fights at 168 - nothing that should really require a substantial weight change, but perhaps something to put a marker down.

Well trying to look into the future of the middleweight landscape, its hard to see GGG getting any of those guys. The same situations that would prevent a Lara also present themselves with Quillen. So that's not even worth talking about. I would have to think the Martinez-Cotto winner will be Canelo's target. And a Canelo fight trumps GGG for both. And if Cotto wins, he'll likely have a choice of Floyd and Canelo. So the likelyhood of GGG getting a shot at the lineal strap are slim. As for Geale. I'd have to elieve that a Sturm rematch in Germany is the biggest fight available to him at the moment. So that likely takes those two off the table. So to me, a guy like Sakio Bika would be a perfect opponent. Tough as nailz. Not very skilled. Has a belt. GGG beats him, then he has options in both divisions. And to me, fighting GGG at 68 would be more attractive for a Martinez or any of the top guys at 60. Because if they lose, they still have their title at 60.

Zuz can be a lil excessive with it at times. But he, like myself and other critics of GGG talk about him fighting bigger guys because he's been hyped as the most feared guy and willing to fight anyone from 54-68. And he changed his tune when Ward came calling. Even though GGG's fanboys will swear Ward is just giving lip service and as "scared" as everybody else.

You are wrong. Team GGG announced that their focus is 160 and they want unification fights. And then Ward "came calling"

[SkillspayBills]

IDK why Richard doesn't do this. It's literally a win win. If Lara beats GGG he takes that belt and.......actually HBO will probably make Lara sign a multi fight contract so he doesn't just take the belt back to showtime.

You can't reason with a dude like that. If Floyd beat GGG at 54 tomorrow. This dude would be on here talking about how drained GGG was. And that if Floyd were a real man, he'd fight Andre Ward.

[BoxingSmarts24]

They sound mad when they say Floyd should fight certain dudes above the WW limit....they try to justify it by him winning a few straps and fighting above the WW limit 3 times outta 40 plus fights.....Swift has more WW fights than Floyd have at JMW....GGG has had more fights over the 160 limit than Floyd has had over 154 but GGG should fight Floyd and not Ward....when they say Lara should fight Floyd, it's just desperation!!....some cats are dying waiting for Floyd to go "Broner".....that obsession got them sounding mad tbh

Exactly my dude. You def sound like you know what you are talking about. These mother ****'s on here blow me away with some of the double standards they have.

But call me the clean up man! Cause up to date I have still had a poster who could answer my questions thoroughly with out contradicting themselves.

but great post.

Right, I forgot. GGG's team annouced he was focusing on middleweight.......convienently after Ward came off the shelf.

[BoxingSmarts24]

I know dudes on here are something else. I figure if I bring that Hatton shyt up it would make his punk ass disappear and wait for a new thread. And on that new thread I would just ask the same question cause I know he can't answer it.


But GGG fans swore up and down everybody was afraid of him. Ward and Lara both want some of that action now they are using weight and companies as an excuse but when it came to Floyd or Canelo they didn't say shyt about that.
