Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I Can Box Like Mayweather, But That's Boring

[Hougigo]

Why are people surprised that GGG is calling out Floyd? People as high as LHW has called Floyd out
Everybody wants that money

[Gary Coleman]

Challenges from whom? Lara? Floyd wouldn't even touch Lara Even though he should be his mando, and is with Haymon. GGG would be a 10-1 favorite over Lara, that's no challenge

If it were no challenge, the fight would have happened already. That, I'm sure of.

G finally realized that you need haters to sell. He needs trash Kneel and Gingerboy too.

Can anyone associated with HBO not talk about Floyd?

It's funny how these people think they could box anywhere on the level of Floyd the way he's able to make guys miss, take away their weapons and control the pace but none of them have a clue how to do what he does. There's plenty of Cuban style fighters and boxers, guys with brittle hands, fast hands, not a lot of power, slick defense etc that cannot replicate what Floyd does and never have consistently against top opposition. Some of them are bigger or smaller, faster, stronger and hit harder than Floyd too. Floyd is on another level when it comes to the actual sweet science. Even the past guys who had amazing defense like Sweet Pea never could put the whole package together to control guys the way Floyd does

If you win a medal in the olympics, it means you know how to box.

Incredibly astute observation there.

1. Why is he calling out welterweights?
2. Why can Floyd move up to fight him but he can't move up to fight anybody? I didn't even mention that inactive fighters name.
3. Floyd was more aggressive fighting guys his size at the lower weights. It wasn't until he moved up when he had to start fighting smarter because he was taking on bigger guts with more power.

So my point is, let's see how exciting GGG is fighting at a 15 pound weight disadvantage like Floyd did vs Canelo.

Yea don't expect anyone to even address this. Hahahaha. The truth comes I'm many forms. Is Golovkin more exciting than floyd? Many would say yes. In fact 99% would s at yes. Has Golovkin taken the risks floyd has on his careerr? Absolutely ****ing not. Floyd didn't sit around waiting for DLH to fight him. He made it happen. Golovkin fans are totally ok with him fighting 3x a year, 2 of those fights against c level guys, while he waits to beat up on a bloated ww. That's taking a challenge? Well I guess so. For all the crap floyd gets, it's hilarious to hear the hypocrisy. Floyd must move up to challenge himself against Golovkin but Golovkin is allowed to sit and wait for mega paydays. Makes sense.

Thats not a fact at all. They've tried making fights with just about all the top 10 MWs including 2 lineal champs, signed a contract for Chavez at 168, offered to fight Froch in the UK. Most of these guys are eager to fught him, just not next

Only fight u mentioned that would even be a challenge is froch. I mean u are seriously sitting here talking about ****ing Chavez jr. Maybe pre Chavez Martinez. But other than that, Golovkin would be highly favored against every person u mentioned. Because let's be frank, the midlleweifht division is filled with a lot of 3rd tier garbage with a minor sprinkling of 2nd tier recyclables. I don't mind Golovkin trying to get his crown. Good for him. But it isn't exactly a ****ing challenge now is it?

[b00g13man]

what the fcuk are you even talking about?

By your logic, Hagler should have jumped up to light heavy, 15lbs north, cos floyd did it doe.

You guys just cant accept, some fighters styles, and body types, make it advisable for them to stay at a certain weight. It doesnt make anyone a better or worse fighter, its just the way it is.


Floyd was a 5''8 130lber, 72'' reach. Yes he's never rehyrated much and always walks at close to his fighting weight thru constant training, but even so it was natural for Floyd to fill out to a 135 and 140lber. He had the dimensions to do so. 147 and 154 were out of his natural range though, but at this stage of his career he would not be able to make 140 and fight at his best imo.

GGG is a 5''10 mw. He comes in at 170 odd on FN. You can see with his frame that he is not a big MW, he fits perfectly into that division, at 32 yo. Its ****** to say he has to fight Ward etc to prove he is great.

So what you're saying is you want him to fight someone who outweighs him by close to 20 lbs on fight night at 38 years old?

[TOBYLEE1]

Obviously he doesn't want to drop down for Lara, cause Lara has no fanbase and offers nothing. Ward's been m.i.a. for eternity and now he's coming back to fight a can. You would do better to leave them out of the discussion.

Does Monroe does have a fan base and is better known than Lara?
