Comments Thread For: Golovkin Eyes Mayweather, Praises His Pacquiao Win

[Dachozen1]

Roy was a natural SMW who spent years building himself into a LHW which was a weak *ss division, he had three title fights at MW. Hopkins started his career at LHW and didn't leave MW until he was 40. Toney ate himself out of every division he's ever been in (and weighed 200lbs in high school before becoming a full-time fighter).


Where did Hagler, Monzon and Fullmer fight for their careers?

As an amateur, Roy fought at 152. The olympics he fought at 156. And when he started his career as a professional, he was a 154 pound Junior Middleweight. So how was he a natural Super Middleweight? With your logic. That's like me saying GGG is a natural Super Middleweight, but fighting as a middleweight. Makes no sense. The point is, is that Toney, Hopkins & Jones jr all had the same success when they moved up in weight. Why can't triple G?

Care to elaborate?

Ward 6'
GGG 5'10"
Floyd 5'8"
Manny 5'5"

Ward actually won his Gold medal at 175. Now on his first fight back he is fighting at a 172 catch weight. Does'nt bode well for him campaigning at 168 and being healthy considering he is 31 now.

GGG is obviously a natural 160lber. and he is 33. He is'nt going to fill in beyond what he is now.

Floyd could easily fight at 154 if he wanted to. Manny would only be a real WW if we had same day weigh ins. By today's standards of stuffing into divisions, Manny should be fighting at 135/140.

Again not an excuse post, they can fight wherever the hell they want, but the size argument is idiotic.

That video is a load of FUD and you know it. You don't ask questions during training camp about any fighter other than the one being trained for. That video is taken out of context and was also shot when Golovkin's understanding of English was much worse than it is now. So desperate to see Ward fans always pointing to the same BS 'evidence' to back up their point.

At least GGG is willing to discuss any other fighter, he doesn't have his lawyer send emails to HBO commentators because he doesn't have the balls to do it himself like Ward did.

True. When before Murray GGG was asked of Cotto, he said "this is too much" and then knowing his answer is vague clarified that he has Murray to face first. So people need to get it right, for GGG too much means too much to think/worry about.

Big drama show..........

[Barcham]

Golovkin needs to lay off that "big drama show" line, it's okay to say it as an accident but not deliberately.

Yeah, that was something that just happened in a post fight interview, I think after the Stevens fight, and it has kind of stuck with him ever since. It's mostly due to his limited understanding of the English language than it is to anything else.

yeah, but it's kinda cringey to keep saying it. Clearly been told by his promoter.

Let him talk naturally, and he'll come with new catchphrases instead of cynically using old ones.

Calling a guy like GGG a bum is absurd. He's the next big thing but he will never be fighting Floyd. No way, no how, never. He should just stay on the Cotto or Canelo trail if he wants a big payday.

[Mike_R]

I'm not overly surprised by this just because we've seen it before.

But Floyd has no reason or need to fight a full blown middleweight destroyer. Nothing to gain, huge risk and no reward.

Golovkin needs to look at 160 and up the scale. This is reminiscent of Sergio Martinez calling out Floyd and Manny, it's just not a good look for a middleweight to call out big names at welterweight.

GGG VS Mayweather

Mayweather, Cotto, Alvarez, Manny and all fighters at 147 to 154 should stay clear of GGG.

Mayweather is probably the only one of the group that will not get brutally beaten. The reasoning is the way he fights. all others would risk serious injury. Cotto would probably get the worst, because he is the fighter that will be willing to trade and move forward.

GGG should not be calling out any of these fighters. These are all guys that came from lower classes and moved up over time. with the exception of Alvarez. Cotto, Mayweather and Manny should be nowhere over 147. Non of them can KO GGG so what would be hoping for? To see a real good big guy beat the hell out of a small guy? Below are the people that GGG should be calling out.

Ward
Kovalev
Froch

Should Manny be calling out Rigo or Walters?

[Pigeons]

What happens if a blown up Miguel Cotto stops Geale, who is currently Golovkin's best win?

Golovkin is throwing his career away. All for the cash. Dollar dollar bill y'all.
