Happy Birthday! GGG Turns 33 Today.

[mrlopez]

So GGG needs to beat a washed up, war torn, shop worn, blown up superwelter in order to have someone on his resume? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

he beats cotto and then what?

and you stfu and dissapear?

andre ward stomps dis fool
GGG is the tomato can crusher, he aint gonna crush SOG

sob hasnt fought in how many years? and when he cleaned out his division and didnt move up like he should have, he calls out a lower weight challenger? gtfoh kid

Great point. Miguel has moved up many weight classes, golovkin wont go up even ONE from where he is at. Miguel has taken challenges, ggg well....

well GGG is trying to fight everyone in his division. its sad that THE champ refuses, and other paper holders sh.it their pants ala quillin etc

He goes after the other two belts and Canelo?

yes!

stop. there is nothing for him at '68 at the moment

This is great, a Ward fan (is that even a thing) complaining about another fighter not moving up but Andre was like "I'm moving to LHW after the Super Six!"


What happened Andre?

he became a ssob(scared son of a bi.tch)?

Men makes the belts, belts don't make the man. So in this case it is meaningless because the man he would be beating means nothing to me. Now if he picks up the strap that is fine I get why he wants it, but there really isn't any great meaning in that win.

not becoming thee man in the division isnt great? youre numb..

so what do you suggest? Should he just retire?

Is it his fault that the other "names" at 160 (except Lee) break out on hives just looking at GGG's photo, and the one main challenge at 168 needs 3 more tuneups before he can face a live body?

exactly

Successfully unifying a division and becoming the lineal champ always means something. Silly post.

co-sign

If the only thing that happens is the Cotto-tards get put in their place and STFU it will be worth it. And Cotto is currently the WBC, lineal, RING middleweight champion so he is a valid target as long as he holds those titles. Can't have it both ways, saying that GGG shouldn't be picking on Cotto but then brag about Cotto being champ. Fight GGG or VACATE!!!




If only Cotto fans were actually intelligent enough to realize that, things would be a lot more pleasant around here. Cotto is also welcome to try and clean out the division and unify the titles. He can start with his mandatory against GGG.

hats off to you sir

No I'm not suggesting he should retire. Stop reaching. Are you suggesting that the challenge at 168 is only ward?

He already stated once he's become thee champ at 160 then the next logical step is 168.....c'mon lil javi, quit reachin

I'm not having it "both ways" as you are putting it. NSB posters are the ones that were calling cotto a shot, blown up welterweight and that martinez is too much for him.

So all of a sudden when it comes to GGG is isn't what most NSB posters claimed?

I agree if he doesn't fight his mando that he should vacate. I have stated that plenty of times.

I have no idea what people were saying before the Martinez fight, I was not posting on boxing boards at the time. I also don't care what anyone else was saying a year ago.

I have also said, maybe a dozen or more times, that I don't care if Cotto fights GGG or not as long as he vacates the title if he does not. I see nothing wrong with Cotto admitting that he is not a middleweight and that GGG would be too much for him. But if he takes on a middleweight in his voluntary, he no longer has any excuse at all for not fighting GGG. So if he plans to say that he does not belong at middleweight, he should vacate the title BEFORE his voluntary. Anything else is just cashing in on the title and dishonorable.

So basically.... fight a middleweight for the voluntary and he has no valid excuse not to fight GGG. If he vacates at that point, it simply means he is afraid of Golovkin. If he feels he does not belong at MW, he should vacate before the voluntary.

So I guess the next few months will prove whether Cotto is a man or a chicken.

Yea, I am numb to the bull**** of boxing for the most part, if the division is not good that accomplishment doesn't mean much. Being the smartest kid on the short bus is an accomplishment also but what the **** does it really mean in the grand scheme of the things.

The issue is boxing is never getting to the top, especially if you are quality and Golovkin is of quality. The issue is staying on top, staying on top is what impresses me if someone is just going to hang out in a division.

How about you tell us what it meant to your life? You must have first hand experience there.

reaching huh? He's already over 30 yrs old and with over 30 pro fights.

[ИATAS]

To me talking in absolutes like that is very silly because it is not always the case and you know it.

Longevity means something, so if he can stay on top of the division for 5 to 7 years he has something to brag about regardless of who he beats. I am cool waiting 5 or 7 years to judge him, are you?

You're shifting the conversation, moving the goal posts here. You were saying how winning a belt is meaningless, I disagreed. Unifying and becoming lineal champ does mean something, it always has. If a man clears out a division winning all the titles in the process, it leaves no doubt. Not many fighters do that these days.

reaching huh? He's already over 30 yrs old and with over 30 pro fights.

And he happens to be a natural middleweight who has no trouble making weight for any of his fights. Canelo has more trouble making his fantasy division at 155 than GGG has making 160. He usually weighs in a pound or two under the limit as a matter of fact. There is no reason at all for GGG to move up to SMW, especially when the competition there will not be any more profitable than continuing to fight at MW. Not to mention that all the worthwhile fighters at SMW already have fights scheduled for the foreseeable future.

So if he was to move up, he would have no better opponents than he has at the moment at MW.

If there is anyone at all to blame for his lack of quality opposition, it is the other fighters who are too cowardly to get in the ring with him. As far as I am concerned, Willie Monroe has more balls than Quillin, Canelo and Cotto combined.
