Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Responds to Reports of Hopkins Bout

So N'Dam in MSG on Oct 17th. Maybe he'll get Lee in December in Dublin. He should make a deal with Warren to fight Eubank in London, then come back to face Lemieux.

If October 17th is the plan, I don't think Golovkin fights 4 times this year.

Chavez Jr or Froch, yeah he's ready to go. Ward or Hopkins, I gotta clean out MW. It seems they know his weakness and will only move up for fighters that leave themselves wide open for his power. Anyone who can avoid and fight well on the inside like Monroe did, and Hop/Ward are experts at, they will avoid like the plague.

Nothing to do with Chavez & Froch being PPV fights then?

Man, I know B-hop his old, but I wanted to see that fight.

GGG needs a big fight before the end of the year or everyone will see him as a clown.

Ward and Hop would be too. I've seen them on just as many PPV's as I've seen either Chavez or Froch on.

GGG needs cotto/alvarez winner 2 unite ...hopkins brings nothing 4 him...

[New England]

Agreed. Fighting B-Hop is a lose-lose situation for Gennady.

Best case scenario, you go in there and blow a 50 year old man out the water which has already been done recently and get little credit for beating a former great who ppl will say stuck around longer than he should have.

Worst case scenario, you get your @ss whooped by that 50 year old man..

golovkin would still get credit for beating hopkins, if hopkins could make 168 safely and that's where they fight.

if he knocked bernard out, he'd be the first to do it, and he'd get a lot of credit. seeing hopkins beat up and stopped would be something. even kovalev, who was putting gloves on him, didnd't beat him up and stop him. golovkin is naturally two weight classes smaller than kovalev, who is a good sized LHW with great punching power.

No, they would not be PPV. Hopkins - Kovalev was not PPV and a fight with GGG would not be either. Ward would not even be a PPV if he fought Floyd. The guy cannot even get a fight on regular HBO at the moment.

Ward and Dawson were PPV, as was Hop and Dawson. GGG is bigger than Kovlev so it could be PPV. When was the last time we paid to see either Froch or Chavez? What Chavez/Martinez?
