Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter on Froch, N'dam-Lemieux, More

[Hougigo]

didnt Ndam already turn down GGG twice? Lets hope Lemiux wins. Even though Oscar probably wouldnt want Lemuix to fight GGG next, at least it would be possible at some point......

Yea, but they're desperate for belts and when GGG fights people with something to offer, they usually get a good amount of money.

As for Lemeuix, he signed with GBP so he can have a U.S presence. W/O Golovkin or Canelo, dunno what fight HBO would buy or want. They want a GGG fight and won't *****foot with him taking warm up fights.

[OnePunch]

I agree unless he can get a fight with Andy Lee or Lemiux if he wins, theres nothing there for GGG at middleweight. Cotto made a point of coming in light against Geale to show everyone hes not a middleweight and doesnt want to fight GGG, if he had any integrity he would end the farce and vacate. Lemiux is most likely going to be saved for canelo and delahoya isnt going to feed him to GGG. GGGs gotta make a move i say he starts fighting super middles, like abraham or stieglitz those guys are pure brawlers and they just keep fighting each other. The Ward fight will be hard to make. And fck Carl Froch for cck teasing everyone into thinking he would fight GGG.

Lee is injured and has to fight the mando with Saunders next.

personally I doubt Oscar lets Lemieux fight GGG this soon without banking a few easy defenses first, but cool if it happens. I would think that Oscar would rather ultimately do Canelo-Lemieux if they both win their upcoming fights

Just a few weeks ago, there was a great deal of anticipation from the boxing world that a proposed showdown between Gennady Golovkin and Carl Froch would take place.
With each passing day though, it looks highly unlikely those two fighters will meet later this fall. Or anytime soon for that matter.

So who will Golovkin face in the fall, sometime in mid to late September?

It is looking like Froch may not be that person, according to K2 Promotions’ Managing Director Tom Loeffler.

GGG would love to fight Cotto for the belt. But Cotto is going to vacate rather than fight GGG and the reason is not money. The reason is that GGG would eat Cotto alive and he knows it. It is not GGG's fault that none of the top middle weights will fight him

[Barcham]

They are not going to strip him. There is a lot of potential that Cotto will fight Canelo or Floyd and the sanctioning fees they will collect will be much more than any other fight

Cotto will not be fighting Floyd except in his fan boys' wet dreams. Not going to happen. When he fights Canelo, they can fight for Floyd's vacated WBC 154 title and WBC will get their fees from that. They cannot fight for both the JrMW and MW titles at the same time. While they are working out the terms of their fight, GGG will be defending the MW title TWICE and WBC will be earning even more fees on top of it all. WBC loses nothing by Cotto vacating or being stripped of his MW title.

[robbyheartbaby]

Cotto should show some respect to the sport, himself and GGG, if he is going to duck GGG and fight Canelo, drop the belt, easy! GGG gets the WBC belt he deserves and can move onto other unifications.

Nsb not going post bobfather arum saying HBO keep letting GGG fight stumblebums after stumblebums and that he should move up to 168 where he can get more big fights he'll make the Gilberto Ramirez vs GGG in a heartbeat

[SteveM]

i guess they'll need to bid big to convince lemieux or n'dam to turn around and fight triple g just three months after winning their title. i also expect ward to call out golovkin on air this weekend after the smith fight, which could hopefully lead to that clash materialising sooner than previously thought

N'Dam is fighting Lemieux for $51,000. If he wins I think he'd kiss Loeffler's feet if he would be offered $750,000 for GGG.

[Eastcoast]

Great, we're going to end up with Golovkin/Rameriz. **** fight. More than likely Arum's using GGG's name to hype his guy. Rameriz isn't ready. Interestingly, Rameriz trains with Golovkin but doesn't spar with him.

[SteveM]

apparently so, which would be a good plan imo. but it doesn't solve the problem of who golovkin can fight in september. nsb will explode if it's chudinov or some other no-mark in the wba top 15

The more you look at it the more a Lara fight makes sense and I'm a GGG supporter ( not fan boy - there's a difference). From a risk reward point of view it's higher risk than Heiland, Johnson or Chudinov, but really how high? Could Lara ko GGG - about a 2% probability in my book. Could he out point him? It's possible isn't it? But Unlikely. Lara would have to fight the fight of his life and GGG would have to have an off day at the office. If Angulo and Canelo who both have poorer ring cutting ability than GGG could catch up to Lara the likelihood is that GGG catches up to Lara and does significant damage to slow him down and then detonate on him.
The alternative is maybe put out a feeler at a heavier weight - 164lbs catch weight against ??
It's a problem for sure.
Froch, by the way is a crock. Froch the crock (of ****)

What percent chance do you give Lara actually getting on HBO?
