Comments Thread For: Golovkin Targets Canelo, Cotto, Chavez Jr. PPV Fights

[Bigg Rigg]

**** Andre Ward!!! My goodness..... I'm not even a GGG fan but ya be sounding so dumb talking about this guy all the time. He's boring, he's more exciting as a commentator than he is as a boxer. Tell him to go up to 175 and avenge Hopkins' death after Drago Apollo Creeds' him.

If he can get Canelo for next September that'd be cool. If not, it's a bit long to wait, watching him beat guys we know he's much better than.

[Weebler I]

Not keen on any of these fights, they're pretty much just about money.

If Golovkin beats Rubio, Murray is the next Middleweight I want to see him fight. Alternatively, Matvey Korobov if he wins the title. Proper MWs.

At Least GGG Is Willing To Fight Anyone!

Then you have one fool that says, "what about Carl?" Like he purposely left him out. Gennady mentions the three biggest names out there and I'm sure if you asked him to sit down and list everyone to appease you, he's willing to fight everyone. Gotta love a guy willing to fight.

^^^^ My guess is those would be the 2 guys he fights in 2015 before Canelo. Not bad at all.

Cotto will fight GGG!no doubt !but GGG he needs more fights if you know what i mean?

Cotto will NEVER fight Gennady, etch that in stone! First of all Cotto would have a spirited fight with Canelo and lose; he can't beat Canelo. Cotto against GGG gets Cotto knocked cold before the 5th round. Hence Cotto & Roach can talk about GGG and PPV % all they want, but GGG is way to big and strong for Cotto.

Ward would end this hype train man this guy wanna fight no names and welterweights talk about cherry picking but I guess he gets a pass

Let's see: He called out a cruiserweight who sometimes makes weight at 168 (Chavez Jr.), he called out the lineal middleweight champion (Cotto), and he called out Canelo (probably the best Jr. Middleweight and Golovkin has said he can go down to Jr. Middleweight). Nobody is a welterweight and hard to say that calling any of them out is cherrypicking. The fact of the matter is that Golovkin is calling out people that would generate the most cash in a fight. You could throw Mayweather in there but Mayweather would never fight Golovkin so there is no reason to even do so. the only guy that really seems to be missing from the list is Froch. Golovkin could make a fortune fighting Froch in London. I wonder why he didn't call out Froch. I wouldn't expect him to put Andre Ward on the list because: (1) there is zero money in it; and (2) Ward apparently doesn't box anymore because of his promotional issues.

[ShoulderRoll]

Thats exactly the whole point. He's willing to go to 168 and fight chavez jr for no belt, but when it comes to ward at 168 for the lineal title and a spot on the p4p rankings, "it makes no financial sense".

It really is very simple and logical to understand. I don't know how many times some of these guys need to be told before it sets in.

GGG mentioning the biggest money fights available doesn't mean he's willing to fight anybody. He's looking to fight the most profitable fighters, as any pro should. He's willing to fight Chavez at 168 but never mentions a desire to face off against Ward.
