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

[IronDanHamza]

To me he's both. A ww and a jr mw. GGG said he would go to jr mw to fight him and I would like to see it. Nothing else left for Floyd.

He's not both, he's a welterweight who sometimes fights at Jr MW for big money fights.

And that's why the poster described him as a "Welterweight" because that's exactly what he is.

this whole triple G thing is really starting to piss me off, he's fighting Rubio, should be good for like 2-3 rounds, wowwwww. I understand people may be avoiding him, but it also goes both ways, he's probably pricing himself out most fights as well. I like Golovkin, and he can fight, but he hasn't fought a top 5 middleweight, wtf, fight one, even for chump change, prove yourself. it also bothers me that we will call out Chavez at 168 for no belt, but can't fight ward at 168 for a belt.........and Mayweather is not a 154 lber, when has he ever weighed above 152? NEVER! how can he be considered a 154lber? because his skillset is good enuogh to beat bigger fighters at that weight class?

Floyd could easily fight and be lineal at 135 and 140 with 140 being his ideal fighting weight.

BUT if I was Floyd I'd eek and make Golovkin come in at 152, weight class fluctuation cuases major issues for some fighters, most notably the amount of punishment one can take. A lot of fighters who lost or got KOed is due to weight class fluctuation.

How about they fight AFTER Golovkin fights Ward...

Who's Ward???

I never b1tch about a fighter being drained if he offered to go down himself. I complained about Canelo being drained a lil cuz he was forced to fight at 152. Dawson offered to go to 168 and fight Ward so I couldn't have cared less if he was drained cuz said he was willing to go down.

How's he not both??? He first won a jr mw title 7 yrs ago. And he's now the current lineal champ at the weight.

there's a better chance of winning the power ball lottery than fraud fighting golovkin.

He fought 3 times at 154, two of those times (cotto, de la hoya) they were smaller 154 and the other he did it because it guaranteed him his highest payday ever; well all three were HUGE paydays. GGG can't guarente that so why should he fight him

How do you know GGG wouldn't guarantee him good money? He gets high ratings on HBO is in high demand, and a fight with Mayweather would definitely sell. It's not like asking him to fight Lara. That that is understandable as Lara brings nothing to the table, but GGG would make him lots of money.

So again your argument is ******. Again how convenient that for the sake of claiming to be TBE he's a 5 division champion and holds 154 belts, but when it comes to GGG he's a 147 small guy.
