Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: No Word From Lara and His Team

[HeroBando]

You do know it was HBO who told Haymon to **** off right? Not the other way around. GGG's fighters don't get any "he can't fight him because of politics" when it was HBO who told Haymon to leave. If they limited who their fighters get to face, even if for what I thought was a valid reason, the consequences are limiting your fighters options. GGG doesn't just get a pass for that, sorry.

Also, the fighters demanded those fights happen. These weren't big name fighters, they were CHALLENGES, GGG doesn't seem to be demanding a fight with anyone except smaller fighters. I hate Broner but he moved up two weightclasses because he thought he could win he had that confidence in himself. It'd be nice to see that from GGG, at 32 he doesn't have it in him as a person or he would have shown it by now.

What is this crap about moving up? How many times did Ward move up? Or Hagler? How old was Hopkins when he moved up? Cotto moved up cause he couldnt make weight, or was chased out by superior fighters and found some invalids up north.

Btw Ggg accepted fights at 168 vs Froch, Ward, Chavez.

GGG is making headlines lately. Froch doesn't want it, ward doesn't want it below 168, Floyd doesn't want it, Lara doesn't want it, Cotto doesn't want it. Yet all of these guys talk about it like they could get the job done. Enough talk, sign of he damn papers and hop in the ring. If you're scared, just say you're scared.

GGG is making headlines because he looks like the goods but has done nothing in this sport to prove it. People wanna get behind him and are calling for him to step up, im one of them. Lara or better/bigger name. Anything less will be unacceptable. No going back now

Most GGG fans want to see him fight better guys. 20 KOs in a row while dominating guys including a handful of Top 10s is hardly "nothing."

Does anyone really think Lara is gonna be able to talk himself into a GGG fight?

Lara should get Jacobs' WBA belt. Prove himself at MW and become GGG's mandatory.

i just don't think he'd be in a better position at super middle than he is at middle. he has one legacy fight there, andre ward, which will hopefully still be on the table one year from now, and apart from that it's no different to his current situation (except that his opponents would be bigger than him). my hope for golovkin is four more fights at middleweight, which will hopefully include a couple of unifications, preferably one of them being with cotto or alvarez, and then to move up to super middleweight permanently (i.e. gain 8 lbs of muscle) and challenge ward. but that's subject to change depending on developments in the two divisions (e.g. if ward moves to 175 lbs)

In the near future, I think he comes into SMW fights significantly less than the 168 limit. The only thing moving up now does is test him a little more because he'll consistently be at a weight disadvantage.

Hadnt heard about that Dolezal woman till now. Gotta say she looks the part but that pic of her in her youth is like night and day.

But hey if Jenner can change sex i dont see why some cant change race. HAHA!! or at least pretend

I think it's time to buy a chain of tanning salons and rebrand them as 'Trans-race clinics'. Just hire a hair stylist for each salon and have a selection of Afro-American style wigs and away you go!

[bug0092]

GGG cannot afford to take another step back. Lara or a bigger/better name.

Would you object to a stay busy fight if there was a signed guarantee from the winner of Cotto/Canelo to fight GGG next? Assuming the WBC contract could be enforced. Maybe the winner has to pay Glolovkin 90% of their winning purse if they don't fight him within 5 months?

[ИATAS]

I never GGG wasn't fighting on HBO. I said HBO said they aren't allowing Haymon fighters. You see this as a good thing for GGG proves I should longer keep this conversation going.

HBO didn't say they would not allow Haymon fighters, they said they are open to working with Haymon if the circumstances are right (they were basically saying we will work with them for certain fights but not overpay for their fighters on our network for crap fights).

Did you miss the fight where Tureano let Curtis Stevens hit that homerun on him? The ref jumped in and waved it off when Tureano's eyes were rolling around in his skull.
Monroe Jr was the highest rated available challenger by the WBA.

If it was Tureano who got the fight then you'd be here crying about "Y GG dint fite Monroe!"

Yes I saw that fight. Ref coulda allowed that to continue. Johnson was ahead on ALL the scorecards.

and ima call bull**** on monroe being the highest rated by WBA:

Did Stevenson fight Hopkins at all? **** do you even watch boxing or just Puerto Ricans?

No shit Stevenson didn't fight hopkins. I love that Bhop basically fought the guy that chickenson ducked by "jumping ship"....

Or am I making it up that Chickenson didn't "jump ship" cuz he wanted a fight with Bhop?

At this point he shouldn't have to say another word. He's willing. Without Froch, he's the best possible opponent. At least try to make the fight. If it can't happen because HBO or Lara's side won't make it, fine. At least Golovkin tried, and that's all people can ask.

It's that people want to make so many excuses to not even try, including Golovkin's team themselves, that should make people angry. At least try. Golovin became a name because he always took the best fight available. With Monroe he didn't, and if he doesn't contact Lara's side now then he won't be fighting the best possible name now. People should complain.
