Comments Thread For: Team Mayweather: Golovkin Never Beat a Top Opponent

[wlliam]

When it comes to GGG wanting a Cotto or Floyd fight(2 Champs)..hes not accomplished enough, go fight Ward. By those same standards he shouldnt be "accomplished" enough to face Ward, another Champ...right?
So which is it? Wards superiority is greater than Cottos but GGGs not accomplished enough to fight the lesser fighter in Cotto? Wait a dam minute, why tf are yall hiding Cotto behind Ward in the 1st place!?

[BrometheusBob.]

He's unranked because he has losses. Losses happen when you fight tough opposition. here is only one Floyd Mayweather.

But Khan has been fighting GGG-type opponents since his loss to Garcia and he's undefeated since then.

Oh that's right, losses don't count. Silly me. Getting completely manhandled by Danny Garcia only adds to his resume because he was stepping up to such ferocious opposition.

Of Khan's wins, I'd say the ones comparable in quality to beating Geale when he did were Devon Alexander and Maidana. Debatably they are even better wins. But you can't just take away that he's lost to Garcia and Breidis Prescott.

Plus Carlos Molina, Julio Diaz, and Luis Collazo are weaker picks than GGG has made recently. Heck, they may have been weaker picks than Chris Algieri was.

exactly ggg has fought nobody and just looking for a pay day

LOL!

He'd take 70/30 and a 157 catch-weight to fight Cotto and you know it!

... Floyd-Cotto? Very likely...
... And, to be fair: all the "top opponents" who fought Golovkin (while sleeping, of course) beat him down...

... So, Floyd is going to be lineal champ at the MW, but not going to fight GGG -- because he fought nobody... That's news.

Well, fan boys need to be justified as well, you know....You've got die hard Cotto fans who don't want to see him get ravaged (again) worse this time, and Floyd fans are going to defend that precious "0" tooth & nail...

Golovkin? Well, he's "fought nobody" because those who are (supposedly) somebody obviously prefer to stay away from him.....homeboy answered Wards comments directly, but I guess some fans on here decide to just pretend that article either doesn't really exist or it wasn't really GGG who said those oh-so-awful-and-hurtful things (snif!)....oh well......

LOL. Maidana and Alexander are way better than Geale. Geale and Murray are solid top 10 wins but let's not exaggerate.

And Algeiri was a joke of a fight but he's still better than Adama, Monroe and Rubio. Algeri beat Ruslan Provodnikov while Monroe beat Brandon Adams to take home the Boxcino crown. lol

Damn GGG's resume is so bad. And I hate the Khan fight by the way but before he signed with Haymon he was nowhere near the protected cherry picker that he is now.

well you know, IT IS CALLED PRIZEFIGHTING.....

Sometimes I wonder, are you for real?....your comments 99.9% of the time...the light's on but nobody's home.....

Guess what coward? If you do not fight a risky guy in September. NOONE WILL PAY TO SEE YOU FIGHT EVER AGAIN! #FACT. You were exposed against the best fighter you ever fought on May 2nd. That was the last time you'll ever fool any REAL boxing fans, Floyd. Who cares who GGG has fought? You diva! We the people say he'll stop you! Get in the ring and prove us wrong, then. Who else are you going to fight and gain any credibility? Thurman? Garcia? Khan? Nobody wants to see any of those fights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exposed by #48? He has nothing to prove to you haters. #48 tried and came up way short got his ass whipped around that ring lmao! ggg the 33 year old bum eater needs to step it up and face a legit contender. His best win is Geale and we see what Cotto just did to that boy LMAO

[Jim Jeffries]

We have heard this before from Floyd. All he has to say is he is not a MW.

But Floyd is the linear 154 lb champ, a weight at which GGG has offered to fight him.

[Sweet_Science2]

"Team Mayweather" said something everybody knows: namely that Golovkin fought no top opponent or (better said) no "top opponent" ever agreed to fight GGG.

Lara and Ward! Last time I checked Lara called ggg out LAST week after his fight. Did team ggg sit down and start at least trying to negotiate with Lara? Oh he fights with Haymon though! GTFOH!

When Quilin and Jacobs don't fight ggg you busters don't say "The only reason Quilin or Jacobs won't fight ggg is because of HBO and Haymon." You pusssies say Quilin and Jacobs are scared and hiding behind Haymon.


But when Lara calls out ggg the bum eater gets a pass for not trying to make the fight because Lara is with Haymon. Let it go to a purse bid and go from there! ggg is one or two fights from getting exposed. He better pray he doesn't have to fight Ward after Ward wins on Saturday! His skirt is ready to be lifted, and Lara/Ward are ready to expose him.

Its interesting how often the word "coward" gets tossed around here by people sitting on their asses who have never in their life faced a single professional fighter. I have never been a Mayweather fan but do respect his incredible skill set. That said, anyone questioning Floyd's mettle for not facing Golovkin only have to refer to Golovkin's insistence on calling out several smaller fighters while steadfastly avoiding Andre Ward's challenges. Golovkin and Ward are only 8 pounds apart and fighting Ward would end all speculation about Golovkin having fought handpicked opponents with no power, undersized, etc. His constant challenges to smaller people from 147 to 154 only underscores his own reluctance to step up and prove himself - something he has yet to do to justify the hype he's been getting the past two years. If other champions with his record had been fighting opposition comparable to Willie Monroe Jr. they would be getting lambasted here while Golovkin is praised as some kind of monster. It's time for Golovkin's accomplishments as a champion and alleged "great" catch up to his reputation. Forgetting smaller fighters and stepping up to Ward for calling him out can serve to settle that score in a hurry. Unless he's a "coward."

Floyd is fighting at 172 on Saturday. That is a 12 pound difference. Floyd holds a title at 154, that is a 6 pound difference. Want to try again and tell us who is closer in weight?

LOL!

He'd take 70/30 and a 157 catch-weight to fight Cotto and you know it!

Sorry, but no, GGG will not accept to fight at a catchweight and has already stated as much. Not to mention that Cotto cannot put a catchweight on a MANDATORY TITLE DEFENSE, which may be a large part of why he will not take that mandatory and will vacate instead.
