Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Will Call Golden Boy For Lemieux

[HeroBando]

Lemieux has no chin. Its a matter of time. GGG will crack him eventually. Then again, he might catch GGG first, who knows. Fireworks guaranteed!

You think so? He didn't seem that chinny yesterday, NDam is no Paulie and he caught him plenty. Even vs Rubio, it wasn't his chin, he ran out of gas. I dont remember seeing him get dropped once. Not saying iron chin, and he is very hittable.

This guy is barely out the ring of his first ever world title fight and Loeffler is on the phone but he can't get on the blower to Lara's people?

GGG fans be like Lara gotta call him doe.

Loeffler and Golovkin are pro-active and waste no time. Unlike Froch who has had a year to make a decision about his retirement and "speak things over with his wife, trainer and promoter" .
I need to be motivated to get out of bed doe.
I need to talk it over with my lovely model wife doe.
I am wealthy so I am not fighting just anyone doe.
Golovkin - now that is somebody who motivates me .... Who has Golovkin ever beat? Doe.

In short Froch is a mouthy arrogant kn*b that uses other fighter's names to keep his own still relevant.

As for Lara, GGG should fight him if about 6 or 7 better fights can't be made first and a fight with Lemieux trumps a Lara fight all day, every day.

Dirk just give it a rest whining like a little b1tch all the time, nobody cares about your ***** pleas for Lara. Lemiux is by far a better option than Lara, for a multitude of reasons.

Would be one hell of a slugfest

You have great faith in the WBC, that they will be bound by their own rules. I have less faith.

First of all their rule book is a viper's nest of exceptions to their own rules - see http://wbcboxing.com/wbceng/Rules/WB...anuary2014.pdf

Secondly I offer you this prize **** up from less than 20 years ago perfectly illustrating how rules get bent:-

In early 1998, Roy Jones, Jr. announced that he was relinquishing his WBC light heavyweight title. In response, the WBC ordered a bout between Graciano Rocchigiani from Germany and the former champion Michael Nunn to fill the vacancy, sanctioning it as a world championship match. On March 21, 1998, Rocchigiani won the fight and a WBC belt; in the subsequent WBC rankings, he was listed as "Light-Heavyweight World Champion."

Jones, however, had a change of heart and asked if the WBC would reinstate him as the champion. In a move that violated nearly a dozen of its own regulations, the WBC granted the reinstatement.[citation needed] Rocchigiani received a letter from the WBC advising that the publication of his name as champion was a typographical error, and he had never been the official titleholder.[citation needed]

Rocchigiani immediately filed a lawsuit against the WBC in a U.S. federal court, claiming that the organization's actions were both contrary to their own rules and injurious to his earning potential (due to diminished professional stature). On May 7, 2003, the judge ruled in Rocchigiani's favor, awarding him $30 million (U.S.) in damages and reinstating him as a former WBC champion (Rocchigiani had lost a bout since his WBC title match).

The following day, the WBC sought protection by filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy (i.e., corporate debt restructuring) in Puerto Rico. The organization spent the next 13 months trying to negotiate a six-figure settlement with Rocchigiani, but the fighter at first rejected the proposal.

On June 11, 2004, the WBC announced it would enter Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation (i.e., business closing and total asset sell-off) proceedings, effectively ending its existence. This action prompted some in the boxing community to plead with Rocchigiani to settle the dispute, which he did in mid-July 2004. The WBC continues.

But Golovkin is not Rocchigiani and if it comes down to the same result, GGG will not back off and settle. The WBC will either settle of cease to exist.

Suilaiman has already stated on multiple occasions, in fact every time he discusses the situation, that both Cotto and Canelo must sign an agreement that the winner fights GGG before GGG will step aside. He has made it very clear that without Golovkin signing off on the fight, it will not be sanctioned for the title. Loeffler has stated on numerous occasions, every time he is asked actually, that GGG will force Cotto to be stripped of the title if no agreement is reached.

I do not know what doubting fans need more than the president of the WBC and Loeffler stating the same things about the same situation. Cotto has three choices... fight Golovkin... sign the agreement and come to a step aside agreement with Golovkin... vacate of be stripped of the title.

There is no possible way that WBC can simply bypass Golovkin and sanction the fight. GGG will just go to court for an injunction and stop the fight from happening. That is something that neither Cotto or Canelo or WBC or HBO want to see happen. Especially as Cotto claims not to be a middleweight and Canelo claims the same. They would become the laughing stocks of the sports world. Much better for them to fight for the WBC 154 title that Floyd will vacate two months before they have their fight.

I would love Lemieux vs. GGG but first i want Lemieux to rematch Rubio!
On the other Hand, Rubio is not deserving to fight for the belt right now.

I love Golovkin fights as they are all action. But, he is not unbeatable. Lemieux, if he can land, will shake GGG. But I have a feeling the incoming artillery from GGG will make Lemieux a lot less offensive. You are right, I think Lemieux is more hitable than Golovkin. If an elite boxer-puncher existed at MW then GGG would be stretched and probably broken but Lemieux is not that fighter, and for the record nor are Cotto or Canelo.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Let it go man. No one cares about Lara except 12 people on NSB. Obviously a unification bout against Lemieux is far better than fighting a guy at 154 who can't even fight on HBO.

Lemiuex got stopped by Rubio

I'm much rather see Golovkin in there with an experienced world class fighter like Lara than picking on some kid who just won a vacant title.

Plus we all know GBP aren't going to ruin Lemieux's newly acquired Dish-ability by throwing him straight in with Golovkin.

They waste no time when it comes to a massive payday or an easy pickings fights. Sure.
