Comments Thread For: GGG's Promoter: Hopkins Could Be Future Foe, Not Now

[PhillyBox11]

Hopkins is over 50 years old! Right up HBO's alley with more crap!!

[kiaba360]

B-Hop could retire any day now, what future is Loeffler talking about? WAKE UP K2!!!

[hhs661]

So i assume GGG is going to fight another feather fisted no hoper in his next fight...damn shame

he'll be top ten opponent in the talent rich mw division doe

[MASTERBX]

pathetic

Bum-love-kin is getting exposed outside the ring, before he gets exposed inside the ring. **** is pathetic.

...My guess is that he's trying to backtrack so that peoole forget the whole catchweight thing.

... Why forget about the "catchweight thing"?... Did Ward gave an answer to the "catchweight thing"? Ward is silent. As long as Ward is silent the "catchweight thing" is only a "catchweight thing"...

[MDPopescu]

You can't make this **** up!

And yet people will still defend him.

Defend him from what? From sending "big prospect" B-Hop somewhere down the line? Take a break, doe...

[MDPopescu]

Oscar and Bernard are left with two assets only: Canelo and Lucas...
Both Oscar and B-Hop were ready to defend Canelo by putting their own heads under the sword... Now GGG is 'ducking' them both, right?

... And I don't see B-Hop offering Ward a fight at 172... Ward is used to that catch weight already...

[moneymaywhat?]

Its easier to take on a smaller famous fighter than a bigger famous fighter. Cotto and Canelo are bigger than GGG and they trying to make them come up to fight this clown that doesn't want to fight an old ass HOPKINS ? GTFOOH Ive said it many times over, GGG wants to get famous fighting smaller guys, make your own legacy, stop being a toto.

He rejects a fight with everyone unless is essentially the 3 biggest money fights in boxing. Look at all the **** Khan is getting for not fighting Kell, for some reason... GGG is supposed to play the "woe is me" card for eternity? This guy and his team are a joke at this point, FFFS. If you mention anyone you've heard of, it's a NO, no matter the name.

GGG is literally all about a money fight, or the easiest sure fire way to victory if he doesn't get those fights. Keep making excuses for his soft touches, right now he's falling into hype job status more and more. I've never seen a team be so scared about who their guy fights... well except for Al Haymons stable. That's all GGG really is at this point, a PBC soft as hell competition fighter but he just happens to be on HBO.

Why would they take a Hopkins fight? He's a light heavyweight. He's 50 years old. He's coming off the worst loss of his career. I'd lose respect for Golovkin if he took this fight.

Taking a Hopkins fight would mean they are only fighting for money. It would show no dignity or class taking a fight like that right now.

All team Golovkin is doing here is respectfully declining the idea of the fight. Loeffler is saying they're focused on 160 pounds, Hopkins is a great fighter but it doesn't make any sense, and honestly it doesn't. It makes literally no sense to fight Hopkins right now.

[MrP4P]

In other words they have no intentions of fighting Bernard. Some of the people here b*tching that Golovkin's not fighting Bernard would be the same people b*tching if he were fighting Bernard.

You're missing the point. You and a few others who im expecting to chime in to defend GGG.

Hes supposed to be sooo avoided but he actually has a list of fighters that are willing to fight him. From Lara to even Hopkins, across a few divisions, but GGG has his sights set on Cotto, Canelo, Mayweather and I know they are hoping Bradley was serious.

They dont seem as serious about fighting a pulse as they make out to be, and their whole brand is based off an idea that GGG is a boogeyman, and his gimmick is to smile and wave to appear all friendly and goody, then his true side shows in interviews and hes quickly told to be quiet and they claim it wernt his words. Its all an act. I dont expect Ward-GGG to happen till they are both 38 after 5 years of the Boxing world hearing about how Ward was too scared to move down in weight to fight him.

GGG, Kovalev, Loma (The 3 darlings on NSB) all share these similar traits.

Kovalev's side claims they dont have interest in Stevenson, just his "belt" Loma's side is doing to the same thing to justify not fighting the best fighters in his division (If they arent titlist, ala Walters) and GGG's side alwaysssss pulls this card when a credible fight is presented to them

Its always flip flopping with them, never on the same page.

Which is it? Is GGG open to fighting Mayweather, Ward, Froch or Chavez now? or is it back to he only wants to fight a middleweight champion in his next fight? They are never consistent and its glaringly obvious lately.
