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

[NapalmKnuckles]

Taking the rest of the year off does not make anyone any money. Fighting two more times will make GGG at least another 4-5 million or so. Which would you pick if you were he? It's really easy for fans to say 'take the rest of the year off' when it costs us nothing. He still has to earn a living and sitting on his ass does nothing for him at all.

Tru. HBO would profit pairing Golovkin up with the hot dog vendor at MSG at this point. Guess it doesnt matter who he fights. Get that easy money.

How can they go after Lee when Lee has a fight scheduled with his mandatory? You're complaining just to complain here. They would have fought Lee already as Golovkin was scheduled to fight him last year but GGG's dad died and they had to pull out so Golovkin could mourn him.

Lee always seems to have a fight, he just had one with Quillin. Just yet another case of poor GGG without an opponent. Sucks for him that he looks like **** in the process. One can only blame his management.

this catchweight thing is getting blown way out of proportion. There was no proposal made to Ward or his camp for a fight at any catchweight. All it was, was a comment made to Fat Dan during an email conversation that he was having with Loeffler. Loeffler made it on his own, basically a throw away comment, and all the usual suspects jumped on it and turned it in to this huge controversy. Get over it! Ward has not responded because there is nothing to respond to!

It's getting to the point that people hang on every word or comment that comes out of the Golovkin camp in much the same way they hung on everything that came from the Beatles in the 60s. Remember when Lennon said the Beatles were more popular than Jesus? The world almost fell apart at that comment! Boxing fans are worse than old women in a hair salon with their gossip.

Yeah yeah but GGG said the say the same thing on Sports Nation on ESPN to Max Kellerman. Catchweight of 164!!!

You have to stay visible. Look at what happened with Ward. He took too much time off and now he is irrelevant. If you start by taking 6 or 7 months off, that can easily turn into a year or more. Fighting and earning a payday is better than sparring in the gym for nothing and having to pay for the gym and trainer time.

Others have mentioned that he should take a fight at 168 and I totally disagree with that idea. He should only move up for a significant fight that will pay him at least double what he will make against a MW. Bouncing around weight classes is great when a fighter is 24-25 but not so smart when they are 33. Bodies do not adapt to weight changes so easily when you get older.

Can't compare Kovalev with Golovkin, Kovalev would destroy Golovkin, he took it easy on Hopkins until he started clowning then Hopkins barely survived.

An idiot like you can't tell me who I can and can't compare.
Now Kov was "taking it easy" on BHop lol. Can't make this dumb **** up

Yes, he is saying that now, after Loeffler's original statement to Rafael. Considering Ward's current standing in the sport, it is a perfectly valid position but it is all totally irrelevant until they eventually enter negotiations for a fight with Ward. It is just like the Mayweather comment made ages ago, all of a sudden it became 'GGG is calling out Mayweather'. People really have to use their brains now and then or they will become ****** on a permanent basis and not only when posting on the boards.

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

What an ignorant street animal.
It's always the same **** with you swine lol

Yeah, and? Did Ward have anything to say about that? He's a big boy by now, he doesn't need your "help"...

50 years old Hopkins as a "future opponent"

Yep, this tells us everything we need to know about the Triple Duck's matchmaking....
