Comments Thread For: Lemieux's Next Stop: Mandatory Defense, Not Golovkin

[Sweet_Science2]

It's literally hilarious. Loeffler is bragging all the time about how he's called this guy and that guy but then plays hard to get when it comes to a guy who says he wants to fight GGG.

That is very true! I just said that in my last post. Whenever it comes to Lara or Ward they never say they want to start negotiating. But EVERY other fighter they sound hungry and more than willing to fight. ggg fans never call them out on it. But they hear it from neutral fans so they can't hide from it.

I wish Loeffler showed as much hunger to fight Lara and Ward as he does everybody else for his fighter.

This is what it looks like! And what it is. Lemieux's team doesn't want the ggg fight they obviously think he will lose. ggg and his team don't want the Ward or Lara fight they know he would lose.

Just listen to the talk of every other camp when it is time to face ggg! They sound afraid right? Loffler is confident and ready to get things going. Now listen to how Ward and Lara call out ggg and listen to the change of Lofflers voice. He never ever, ever, ever says he is ready to start negotiating now.

Have you got a link to Ward calling out GGG, so I can listen to that?

Last thing I heard on GGG/Ward was "I said yes, you said no." From Golovkin.

If the IBF is forcing Lemieux into a mandatory defense that kills a GGG fight for now. Sucks for GGG, he'll have to wait at least till next year for a big fight. Cotto will never fight him. Canelo will fight but not for at least another year. Mayweather will never fight him. Lee is locked up. I doubt Quillen will fight him and even if he does he looked bad against Lee.

I notice that too. Even when asked about fighting DeGale

But he has said he's willing to negotiate with Haymon/Lara. So lets see if he follows through now that his other plans have been nixed.

Looks like Lemuiex's team is going to copy the GGG strategy of getting easy wins until he gets the high paying fights he wants. Can't say I blame him but I had hoped the winner of this fight would fight GGG.

Ward doe......

Martin Murray gave Sturm and Martinez all they could handle and more. And that was before Sergio's knees fucked up on him.

But whatever. I'd like to know why beating Murray, and everybody else he's gone up against, so easily, makes Golovkin a bum, in your eyes?

And also, why you are calling for GGG to move up to 168, instead of calling for the other MW belt-holders to man up and fight him.?

He fights bums, he loves bums, he's Bumlovkin.

[kafkod]

Which implies that GGG doesn't want the fight?

Stop reaching Nostradirkus. I said "allegedly"

But I'm not on GGG's team, so I don't know for sure whether they want the fight or not. It could be they think Lara brings nothing to the table in terms of fans, money or excitement, and just regard him as an annoying nuisance.

Kind of similar to you in this thread. Lol.

Ok. I understand where you are coming from now.

Man, 3 fights? Is that a joke? You want to wait a year before he faces Golovkin? And if he loses the title to someone else you then want that other person to wait another 3 fights to "improve" before facing Golovkin?

If it's not done after this fight it's a duck, simple as.

David's been fighting every 7 months. He's talking about vacation now. 3 fights would be nearly 2 years from now.
