Could Golovkin end up being the next Jeff Lacy?

[Monaco Slim]

No, because he's a legit world champion, not some American hypejob.

[New England]

No, because he's a legit world champion, not some American hypejob.

is demonstrating feelings of british inadequacy on bscene all you do?

He won a vacant interim title and then was promoted to full and super champion.

Monaco isn't in Britain either.

Honestly if you had to pick a guy that will get Jeff Lacy'd it has to be Danny Garcia~

Left hook guy that doesn't have that much else offensively and not that great defensively.


Golovkin has offensive variety

[kafkod]

No...that just wasn't the point of my argument but you're down to scoring minor points now so I'll let you have that one.



There were no negotiations because Golovkin's team took a **** on the fight before there could be any. Saying they needed it to be PPV and they wanted a large chunk of the purse. Andre Ward had earned his right and was, at the time, drawing higher ratings than Golovkin on HBO.

Again....I don't know what they had done or what they've even done now to feel so entitled.



Ward had just done huge ratings fighting Edwin Rodriguez. Golovkin had just KOed Stevens. It was there to be made if Team GGG were willing to yield a little. They weren't.

So back to the Lacy comparison - Lacy didn't make any such demands, he went over as an actual world champion to England to face Calzaghe after just 21 fights. Golovkin's people, even at 30+ years old weren't willing to risk their investment in him.

Now are playing fast and loose with the chronology. Loeffler said that GGG would want a large chunk of the purse just before Andre fought Smith, NOT back at the time you were referring to earlier.

GGG had become a star in his own right, THE most talked about boxer in the game right now and probably a bigger draw than Ward. Why should he not want a large chunk of the purse to move up and fight the dominant guy in a higher division. Would Ward move up and fight Kovalev for peanuts - just for the glory?

Anyway, back to the time we were discussing before you dicided to jump into your tardis, hoping nobody would notice - Ward wasn't fighting and wasn't able to fight - his shoulder, his promoter, whatever. The option for GGG to fight him wasn't there, and it isn't there right now. The tune-ups, remember?

July 2014. Almost a full year before Ward fought Smith.

Why is Joey zags coming out of retirement to put on a clinic?

No but seriously I think ggg Has already shown more depth in his game so far even though He is yet to face any real elite opposition Lacy relied way too much on his left hook and it's decent speed He was crude and just went out there to take your head off like Mike Tyson but after Five or six rounds if he didn't get to you he was easy to box Kelly Pavlik Have the skills to whip Jeff Laceys ass Honestly though GGG Still has to beat an elite guy before I'm sold I think he is much better than Lacey he has good fundamentals controls distance well And has dynamite in both hands But there are A few guys out there especially at 168-175 i would favor over GGG But nobody at 160

On a sidenote GGG versus Lemieux would be a war!!

[Larry the boss]

Lol you're saying this like there's multiple A class opponents in the middleweight division...i know what you'll say "but he duckin' Ward doe."

Naw,actually i was just literally trolling

[KnockoutNed]

[PeasantCrusha]

If Triple Groupies does become the next Lacy, he will probably kill himself.


Going from hype to Lacy is the worst thing that could happen to GGG.
