Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: GGG Creating a Mike Tyson Effect

[Ogecca MaMa]

It was Tom Loeffler, his promoter, who said this.

oh my bad. Usually it's his coach who runs his mouth non-stop. I thought that was him again, so didn't bother reading this article.

Knocking out cans to exaggerate your hype is the Tyson way

Mike also knocked out his share of cans.

GGG's last two opponents, Geale and Rubio, both quit in the fight. GGG isn't knocking people out cold like Iron Mike.

Inb4 the ward groupies come and try to **** on GGG.

how do ggg fans not want to see arguably the best fight that can be made in boxing as far as talent level wanting to see an historic fight is being a groupie? get the **** outta here with that ****

Ggg ain't shyt if you compare him to tyson. He'll never be as great as tyson.he shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence with tyson.

Golovkins promoter wishes he was anywhere close to creating a Mike Tyson effect. Sell some PPV and then talk about something. Fight some bigger dudes,stop calling smaller guys out. Tyson was a small heavyweight knocking giants out. No comparison....

100%...Also the couple of dudes that may be bigger ( because I ain't buying the small middleweight line) that he wants to fight are Chavez and Froch...Warrors but not skilled fighters and they know it..

I never understood that either. GGG still has Canelo or Cotto and their worth more. You can say the same about Ward. Why doesn't he move up. I like Ward, I'm just saying. There's a time for everything and right now GGG needs to finish cleaning out 154 or at least fight Cotto or Canelo first.

Ward?

When did GGG ever fight at 154?

Tyson wasn't great, he's probably the biggest hype job of all time.

Ward groupie here: Tyson was selling PPV's like consoles on Black Friday with ****ty fighters like Seldon, Botha, McNeeley, McBride. Golovkin isn't that impressive and fearsome that he'd make 1 million fans want to pay $50 to watch him destroy someone like Adama in the 8th round or when ever it was that he KO'ed him.

... Ward, instead, is enough impressive to make 1 million fans pay $50 to watch him wrestle the likes of Edwin Rodriguez, right?

Now seriously: Golovkin would create a "Tyson effect" by fighting bigger dangerous guys. But it was only Andre Ward who called Golovkin out. While all the others (Chavez Jr., Froch, Kessler, Dirrell bros, DeGale, Groves, etc) didn't show much (if any) interest in fighting GGG.

In case Ward is gaining some momentum with his career, Golovkin will eventually have to fight him (at the end of this year or early 2016).
