Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer Confident All at 154/160 Get KO'd

[619 southpaw]

Because hes not done at 160.

yo bit me i like ggg, NOBODY at 60 wants that work i agree with you. couple years ago martinez was in same boat at 54 and he moved up to take on willing fighters if ggg stays at 60 his legacy will take a hit fact. i think ggg is good for boxing but he has to move up and stop making excuses about how he isnt ready for certain fights

[619 southpaw]

The reason they're mentioning the 154 lb. division is because Mayweather, Cotto and Canelo have fought there or continue to fight there and they're all much bigger financial draws than anyone at 160.

good point! but if your saying you will go down to 54 go down to 54

... Back in 2011, Martinez was asked if he wants to fight Lucian Bute or Andre Ward. Martinez frankly answered: "No, thanks..."

Martinez in 178 cm tall and Golovkin is 179 cm...

Name one fighter in his division that he isn't willing to fight, who actually wants to fight him. Just one.

Who cares, 160 division is full of trash. If they say GGG KO's anybody 154-160 then move the *** up and show that you are as good as people think you are. IMO, once he faces an elite fighter he's going to have major problems.

i could be wrong but i think he was chasing fights with bigger draws i.e ggg but martinez moved up and was always the smaller man

[Larry the boss]

what about 168

Martinez got a $1.4 million purse for the fight, while Chavez Jr had a $3 million purse.


Cotto was to get a purse of $3 million for the fight, but is guaranteed at least $7 million. Martinez, meanwhile, had a purse of $1.5 million, with potential for a good bit more depending on how the pay-per-view did, as he had an upside bonus added on.

My first big laugh of 2015, thank you CenturyTuna! Happy New Year everyone by the way.

LMAO... Not only would Quillin never step in the ring with him ever! There is about 0.1% chance of Quillin winning it let alone Kayoing him! Probably the worst fight prediction combined with wishful thinking I have ever read on here! You moron! LOL
