Dissecting Golovkin's MW Reign

[Skip Bayless]

at 160 kid choc is the only guy who can give ggg a good fight because he has power/speed/size, everyone else gets destroyed. ggg resume is weak as **** but i dont fault him much yet because fighters have been ducking him.

Sadly Quillin is still too big a name for Golovkin to aim for.

yo-yoing in weight is never good for a fighter. when he moves up he'll have to abandon the prospect of facing alvarez/cotto, which is why he has to hang around for at least another half year


because he's two divisions above him? hopkins also called out mayweather not long ago, he's just self-promoting

Lol so Hopkins gets set a different standard?

Hopkins can move up 2 weight divisions coming off 2 losses to fight the number 1 guy at LHW yet ggg can't ...

And no it's not for promotion, how can you say that when he is known for fighting anybody. He's not blowing hot air.

What're you talking about? It's pretty obvious that fight could be a PPV on HBO, and Froch has said he'd like to fight in Vegas anyway, so what's the problem? Who's he going to fight, Degale? What makes you think HBO would accept Chavez-Froch but not GGG-Froch?

Either way, your reply is empty as expected. You didn't answer what the Facebook poll intended to accomplish, nor have you acknowledged Froch and/or his teams unwillingness to even comment on any offers or discussions that have went on between him and GGG's team. Clearly what you said is not even relevant, because nobody, especially on Carls camp has complained that it can't be a PPV fight as a reason for their 'lack of response' which you at least acknowledge.

Golovkin is not a PPV fighter.

Froch's team have commented on GGG several times. The money isn't there to make the fight because Golovkin isn't a PPV fighter. The fight would be on regular HBO. Froch's last purse was 9 million - he isn't fighting for 900k like Golovkin.

Reiterated this:

Carl Froch:"Golovkin is dangerous and if he can be avoided, Then we'll avoid him"

It's pretty hard getting name scalps if a bigger, card carrying tough guy like Froch puts out statements like this.

Why don't you put out the WHOLE statement and the whole interview instead of selectively quoting to suit your agenda.

Terrible attempt at propaganda. Nice try Goebbels.

It wouldn't have to be a PPV, GGG said they'd go to England, where it would be a PPV. HBO would pay a good license fee, and then there's the big gate. The price is not right for Froch?

It would absolutely pale in comparison to what a Chavez Jr fight in Vegas would earn him. Even the James DeGale fight would do better business.

Lol he fought a guy that quit against Pavlik years ago, if he was chasing greatness he wouldnt be ducking #2 P4P, and fighting his way through the Taxi Cab union. Great ones take the challenge, he fights bum of the week. The guy beat the count and ref gave him a KO against a guy with gray hair. You guys want Floyd to fight a MW to take a challenge, but dont ask this guy to move up one division be consistent with your complaints then you wont be seen as fanboys and maybe he would get credit from more boxi.....well slugging fans

I doubt it. Chavez is not that big, nor is Froch stateside. Chavez would also want a bigger cut. AFAIK nobody in the UK gives a **** about DeGale, while GGG is the most televised foreign boxer. And the hype machine would go into overdrive for that, who wouldn't wanna see it

You can doubt all you want. I'm talking facts here. Chavez Jr fight is HBO PPV, Golovkin isn't. These are the facts of life.

Froch has been guaranteed £4m for the DeGale fight. 4 million pounds.....he wouldn't be guaranteed anything near that for GGG. The DeGale fight does better on UK PPV - DeGale won an Olympic gold medal for the country, he's a well known name whether you think he's liked or not. No one here has any idea who Golovkin is.

Golovkin should just move up in weight where he can get real challenges. No one wants to fight him at 160 so he ends up fighting decent opponent at best.

He was 173 last night so he's not small for MW despite popular belief, he'd fit in solidly at 168.
