Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Discusses Potential Mayweather Bout

[Reloaded]

Well he has already beaten Cotto, and it would be a hollow 155lb MW title when almost everyone considers Golovkin to be the best middleweight right now.

lol , but you dont apply that to Manny do you , Manny wont even fight Cotto at 154 and you gave that a pass , Canelo said he would fight Manny , oh no Canelo is to big for little Manny you said , fck off with your BS Manny was 148 1/2 fighting ODH , Floyd was 150 fighting Canelo , Manny wont even fight WWs for fck sake , but Floyd who you said would duck Canelo must now fight MWs .

You haters are Flip floppers of the highest level .

What does the fact he's the champ at 154 prove? He clearly is not a Jr MW despite having belts there. And like I said, he hasn't fought there in a year so he shouldn't even have those belts anyway.

Doesn't mean he shouldn't fight him. I never said he shouldn't.

All I've stated is that he's a Welterweight which obviously he is. That's his preferred weight and he only fights above that for big money fights.

I'd like to see the fight (if Golovkin can make it) but I understand that considering the fact that we know that Floyd only goes north of is weight class for big money that it's not going to happen.

Seriously? One of the most moronic sentences I've read, and that is saying something here.

No no he's not a Jr. MW. He just has 2 belts and is considered the lineal champ in that division, but no he's not a Jr. MW.

[ShoulderRoll]

Of course. Thats all that matters. You would rather see him fight someone who will be less of a risk and make him (not YOU) more money...Rather than see him fight someone that is a riskier fighter for less money. Typical Floyd Fan!

Golovkin's team likes to say that Andre Ward doesn't make financial sense for them to fight.

Well then, they should understand that Golovkin makes even less financial sense for Floyd. They can't have it both ways.

He's not though.

Yes he has two belts there, but he's obviously not a JR MW, that's staggeringly obvious.

He's fought there 3 times in 7 years, he's never weighed in more than 151 lbs at a weigh in and comes to the ring at 150 lbs.

What more need to be said to see the glaringly obvious fact that he's a Welterweight who occasionally fights a weight class higher for big money?

This is the same old BS from GGG's team. If he can't find anybody in his weight class to fight him or if he has proven that he is the best in his weight class, he should move up in weight, not down. GGG and his team keep talking about Mayweather, who started at 130 pounds and fights at 147, when there are three of four fighters at 168 who would have no issue with fighting GGG tomorrow.

The fact he is not willing to move up in weight tells me that he is a gutless fighter whose team knows he is not as good as his hype and who doesn't actually want to fight a quality fighter on an even playing field. He wants to fight 130 pounders, so he can prove that he is superior.

Golovkin and his promoter should stop talking about Mayweather because the fight is not going to happen. Golovkin brings nothing to the table and the PPV would draw even fewer fans than the Guerrerro and Maidana fights. Selling 600,000 PPVs is a huge success for Pacquaio but it is a failure for Mayweather. If Mayweather fought Golovkin and beat him, all the haters would talk about the poor PPV numbers.

First of all it's not as if he fought there 4 years ago and hasn't fought there since. The guy still currently holds 2 major belts, and is considered the lineal champ in that division. Not years ago, but right now. Therefore it's not a stretch to call him a Jr. MW.

Second who cares if he came it at 150 or 151 or 149. He fought above 147, which is technically jr. MW. 154 is the maximum weight for that division, not the minimum.

Well he shouldn't have any belts since he hasn't fought there in over a year.

And the point is the weights show that he's obviously a blown up Welterweight fighting at Jr MW. You know, the entire point behind this discussion.

"Technically" he's a Jr MW or can fight there but hat doesn't make him one.

It takes basic common sense to see that he clearly is not a Jr MW fighter. Since when does a Jr MW fighter come to the ring at 150 lbs?

There is a reason in 47 fights he's fought at Jr MW 3 times and there's a reason that in the last 6 years he's fought there twice.

Ward's been pricing himself out, acting like a diva making all kinds of demands for a bigger cut, etc. (sound familiar?) when he hasn't fought in what? over a year? with promoter issues? The man said himself that he will only fight GGG if the money is right because he has to consider his future and health.

Yea man, GGG the one ducking there... totally (<-sarcasm)...

Oh, and Floyd + GGG = never ever going to happen. If he's worried about his "health" against PAC, he would probably fear for his life against GGG.

GGG by decapitation.

[MDPopescu]

Dude, do your fkin research before you talk sht! He already fought cotto at 154. Why not add one more pound if it's going to include a title at a weight class he's never won. He fought both DLH and cotto at 154. Fought canelo at 152 cuz his dumb ass team were willing to bend backwards for the fight. Cotto won't. Again, GGG Got only 800k views! garcia got the same when he fought salka and cotto got twice that when he fought delvin. Money talks homie, GGG ain't worth sht yet

As I said: Alts can only produce dumb posts...

[Bigg Rigg]

If Floyd doesn't fight Cotto on Cinco de Mayo, Floyd is almost done (with his huge money contract).

He could just man up and fight PAC and tell everyone to **** off from the cinco de mayo date. That won't happen though.
