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

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

Don't you want to see GGG take a few chances before he's too old.

He's no spring chicken

Funny how AMERICAN fighters are always called to take risks and challenge themselves...by AMERICAN fans...but not foreign fighters.
Hmmmm.

American fight fans actually have the bar set LOWER for non-American fighters.
So strange.


GGG is fighting all the time.
What are you talking about nobody wants to fight him??

Smaller guys don't seem to mind fighting him
Bigger guys are interested.

He plays it safe and fight the smaller ones.

GGG is not about taking risks..just look how many times Cotto has moved up.
Cotto makes Golovkin look like a straight-up coward.

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.

Why?

There is no risk in GGG unifying the dead MW titles.
I bet if he were American you'd want him to move up and take some risks.

Don't ya'll want to see this so-called special fighter challenge himself??

It's like his fans know he's not all that so they don't mind him wasting his few years on people that can't challenge him

Cotto started at 140....he has taken more risks than all Eastern European fighters combined.

Robert Guerrero was a FEATHERWEIGHT..now he's WW fighting CHAMPS.
He makes Golovkin look like a rank coward.

Lemme guess... Ward... who also falls into what you're talking about... except Ward already cleared out his division like 3 years ago

GGG has more smaller fighters on his resume than Ward.

He also has more defensive flaws.

Like pulling back with his hands down and dropping his punches to his waist.


Ward has a plan B
GGG can only fight one way.

I see why ya'll don't want him to take any chances.

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.

You do realize that if Cotto vacates the title or they strip it from him. it is no longer a lineal title? It then becomes a paper title, which is about as worthless as used toilet paper.

he can still get the lineal title though, it just won't necessarily be by winning the WBC belt

Obviously it would be great to see Lee do Quillin like he did Korobov, but if not then GGG would annihilate Quillin so bad... he'd launch him into a permanent orbit so fast the International Astronomical Union would end up naming him like they do asteroids. I do think just so Lee picks his shots and concentrates better on his defense, he stops Quillin mid rounds. Then yeah, like Daddy T said earlier, most on this forum would have 'trouser accidents'.
