Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter on Quillin Getting Shot at Lee's Belt

[Eastcoast]

i wish ggg would just move up and fight some people who wont duck him and shut his haters up. it dont even have to be ward maybe pascal well see i just get tired of hearing how so and so is ducking ggg cause if ggg is not going out his way to move up in this case he really cant say anything. It just seems like the only fighters ggg wants to fight are fighters who are moving up or just recently moved up to middleweight canelo and cotto are not even natural middleweights. Im sure ggg fans get tired of hearing the word ward but as a boxing fan i wish ggg would move up and fight some people who wont duck him ggg fighting at 168 would be epic

I think Golovkin vs Anthony Dirrell would be a fun fight, but for the same reasons we won't see Golovkin vs Quillin, Jacobs, Mora, Lara (Haymon league), won't see that either.

Evidently at the Klit/Jennings presser, James Prince discussed Ward/Golovkin with Loeffler and they agreed that next year would be the goal.

Should be amazing fight , but i do want him to get the Lineal title first , if its by Cotto vacating or by fighthing for it (fighthing is better of course ) , i would hate for him to move up to face the best P4P ->lose-> burn all his chances to get meaningful fights again because idiots like some of the fans here will go :
" he lost already , he brings nothing now , he isnt worthy of our time anymore , balkblaba" ..... he should move up when he is the #1 MW , when RING puts him as the champion and not Cotto.

HBO should let Golovkin fight Quillin on NBC to get some of that primetime network exposure. Should ultimately help HBO get higher ratings when Golovkin fights.

not a bad idea. GGG WOULD GET REALLY GREAT EXPOSURE FROM THE CASUAL BOXING OR EVEN UFC FAN NOT JUST THE DIE HARD BOXING PEEPS THAT ALREADY KNOW HIM.

Personally I want to see GGG try and unify the division. Shame no one with a title seems to want to step up, but I think if he can't get any unification fights this year, then he should defnitely move up at the end of the year and challenge the super middleweights.

or K2 can stop making low-ball offers.

K2 and HBO actually have to overpay to get opponents in the ring with Golovkin.

GGG is a ducker too.

Quillan has made more in his career than Lee and GGG.


Guerrero making more than HBO's old foreigners is just too funny to omit.

Are you schizophrenic? What are you on about? Just saying purely random **** hoping it means something

Dr Pep you are kidding, right?

Cotto took A fight at 160.

He has more fights at 140 than 147,154 or 160.

Cotto is not a MW and no threat to GGG whatsoever...

K2 is not about taking risks with this guy.

Maybe, maybe not. They are about having leverage though.

Depends on what you mean by overpay... most of his opponents make close to what he's making compared to the other side.... well before Rubio I guess
