The HBO GGG opponent list for May

[BlakBread904]

Or GGG could fight some TOP 20 guy at 168 and come into the fight at the 160 pound limit.

that's the ******est thing I've heard regarding boxing in 2015.

It's been half a year. He's the mandatory. He'll either get Cotto this year or he'll fight someone else for Cotto's belt. Why on earth should he abandon that when he just freaking earned that mandatory spot a few months ago? And he is going after the Alvarez fight. He's gone after a lot of fights people want to see from him, and had little interest shown in him.

Agree with your points but my gut tells me I think cotto cuts a deal to fight the Floyd/Manny winner instead of GGG in September.

GGG is 32, he is wasting his career fighting the opponents he is. I want to see him get it on with a better opponent. My 1st choice-froch at 168. that's out. I'd take chavez jr.-that's out.

No ward and I explained about cotto. SO where else is there but Canelo?

It had to be a joke , i bet it was , dont blame him for the bad joke,...

Obviously Golovkin is trying to unify 160. He is mandatory to Cotto. If Cotto rejects a Golovkin fight after he beats whatever welterweight he decides to fight next, he will be stripped according to the WBC, meaning GGG will be first in line to fight for that vacant title.

The WBC will *never* strip Cotto as long as the possibility of a Mayweather fight exists...

[Nay_Sayer]

If Lara couldn't beat Canelo, who doesn't have the power and ring cutting off ability of GGG, what makes you think he can beat Golovkin? Even if you think Lara won, it was still a close scrappy fight. I like Lara but I call em like I see em.

Triangle theories don't work in boxing...

[Nay_Sayer]

The thing is no one else gets passes for blah fights, why do people have to give Golovkin a pass. I wish people would give out more passes to fighter to be honest but they don't so why should golovkin get any kind of special treatment on here?

^This.

Al Haymon's and Danny Garcia's nut sacks got raked over hot coals for the Rod Salka fight. Golovkin has been fighting these Salka level opponents for a while now and yet the GolovIdiot crowd says nothing.

Why is that?

Golovkin has been fighting guys in the top 10 of the division. Rod Salka was ranked #77 in a weight class BELOW Garcia and on top of that they fought at a catchweight of 143 lol. No comparison.

He's fighting ranked guys who are currently available to him. If there were other fighters ranked higher & title holders that are available that Golovkin could fight, he would get heavily criticized. But there are none. Go through the top 15 at 160 and the top 15 at 168. All the names have fights lined up or he already fought them. Nothing he can do here besides sit out and not fight.

GGG is fighting salka but he is fighting espn level fighters like Rubio rosado stevens etc.

[AKAcronym]

The fact of anyone comparing these fighters to ****ing Salka is embarrassing. You may not like his level of competition, but no one is even close to as bad as Salka.

[The Gambler1981]

Yea Golovkin has not fought anyone totally unacceptable like Salka and even Tureano Johnson is not that level of poor, but that doesn't change the point I made.

No one gets a pass here and Golovkin ain't going above and beyond to claim one, if you want to bend over backwards to give him one fine I am actually cool with that but just remember you are doing that for when other people give out passes because it won't be all that much different.
