Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin-Willie Monroe Jr. Set For May 16

[daggum]

I'd love for those complaining to write down the realistic options for GGG for May. Cause those that are complaining have no other solutions.

they only want him to fight if its a big fight but he can't get a big fight unless he keeps fighting and putting pressure on them. its pretty funny how they don't understand. if he doesn't fight he will somehow get a big fight? that is what they are saying. ggg should wait around and then people will come around and fight him. makes perfect sense.

It's just a way for the Big Dunn to make excuses for a Haymon fighter.

"Golovkin is doing the same thing! That means Danny isn't so bad guys, come on!"

You have to be a special kind of f@ggot to pull this and Dunn ticks the boxes.

Oh stfu...Everyone fights bums once and awhile....Kovalev fought "Cedric Agnew" and then "Blake Capparello" and no one said anything....Danny has 1 easy bum fight and everyone goes crazy....Even now after he signed on to fight Lamont Peterson they are still butthurt over Salka....

Double standards are annoying....Kovalev has fought Salka type of opponents.

major props to monroe jr for being willing to fight ggg. this fight could very well ruin this kid though. he has never seen anything like GGG. he is 2 step up fights away from this being a huge step up fight. they threw the kid into the deep end with the biggest shark. he has legit skills and can box but I can easily see his legs go jelly as soon as gennady lands a big shot. monroe looks good in there but he has nowhere near enough experience to pull this off imo. there are levels to boxing. you cant skip steps and expect to succeed. a guy like vera in no way prepares you for this. he needed to fight a few more solid guys before something like this. way too much too soon. GGG KO inside 6

Best part about it is a couple years down the line monroe would probably even be better than golovkin. But definitely not right now...

advantages of fighting: increase popularity
put pressure on top fighters to fight him
stay sharp and get more experience
make money

disadvantages of fighting: fetta and kev will be mad and say he should fight someone better when he can't.

good points on both sides here!

ggg's trainer: "make us an offer"

Why would i be mad?

nothing i say or do will change the fact hes fighting this Monroe guy. I have never seen him fight so cant judge. I just think GGG is wasting his time but hey its not my career

Plus GGG fans are happy about it so Monroe must be good cause if not they would be upset...right?

Cotto wants nothing to do with GGG. Canelo wants nothing to do with GGG. Quillin wants nothing to do with GGG. Lara is not a middleweight, Andrade is not a middleweight. Ward is not a middleweight and wants 2 million for a tune up fight and has been refused by both HBO and Showtime so imagine what he would want to fight GGG? Degale is fighting Dirrell and neither is a middleweight. No fighter signed to Haymon will fight on HBO.

People who are complaining never have any valid options to offer, they never look at the reality of the situation. They just like to complain. Maybe Golovkin should only fight once a year like Cotto and pick a welterweight to fight.
