Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Starts Camp For Murray Showdown

[PK3434]

I personally don't hate him or hate on him. I think he is a fantastic fighter but he hasn't fought anyone good.

He needs to fight someone that is is at least good competition. I dont' want to hear everyone is running scared blah blah.

But its true...nobody that is supposedly "elite" wants anything to do with him. The one hope is that Canelo will take the challenge although if Canelo-Cotto is a good fight, you can almost guarantee there will be a rematch because Golovkin "doesn't make financial sense", which is not even true anymore.

Murray fits in for a Golovkin Monte Carlo opponent. This fight lasts between an Ishida and a Adama.

When Ward and Lara accepted Team GGGs bold statement of "we'll fight anyone from 154-168", all of a sudden Team GGG acted like they didn't say it. This fight is nothing more than another lamb to slaughter and team GGG is already trying to make Andy Lee sound like a credible opponent. I agree with the previous posted in that GGG certainly passes the eye test and may certainly be the goods, but why the hesitation to fight a credible opponent. Same thing can be said of M Garcia, P Quillen and many others.

Murray is certainly a more credible middleweight opponent than Lara is. If he were to beat up Lara people would say "oh look GGG beat another junior middleweight!"

Murray at least is a middleweight who many thought beat Sergio Martinez in his home, so this is the best possible opponent available for Triple G while he waits for his crack at the WBC belt.

As for Andy Lee, I think they care more about his belt than anything else. Unifying the division has always been a goal of GGG, he's always made that clear. Doesn't matter who has the belts he just wants them all.

Ward didnt accept any challenge, his trainer said he had nothing to do with any emails to HBO and would want a couple of tuneups first. Lara is with Haymon and cant get on Hbo, as theyre well aware of:

"HBO would have to speak to Lara's advisor Al Haymon, but we are very happy fighting on Showtime."

In other words, I want GGG but not next, as those t shirts say

What the hell is "a world wind tour..." ? Who writes this stuff? Editor?

Martin Murray is going on a "Whirl Wide Tour" to counter-act this.

It's a good fight for GGG, Decent name to his resume, but really it's more of a place bets on how long Murray will last, as opposed to who would win.

This is true. However, I'd still much rather see GGG fight Lara than Martin Murray.

I wouldn't. Lara hasn't even mastered his own division I don't think he would fair well against GGG at 160 at all.
