Tom Loeffler - "You Will Be Pleasantly Surprised with Golovkin's Next Fight"

[MPX309]

Can this be substantiated ?

Yeah, there's a thread about it lol

[Fists_of_Fury]

The winner of Mosley-Mayorga? lol

Sadly that's almost a step up for him. It would be the 1st "name" opponent on his resume. Sadly I think his team wouldn't go for either since GGG struggled the last time he fought a former champ that was bloated up in weight and shot to shit(Kassim Ouma lol).

... Then it's Lemieux... But Sanchez turned Lara down ,doe!!! It seems that Haymon approved the fight but they turned him down!...

There is no indication that Haymon approved anything or that HBO approved anything. Loeffler made the very first step by offering names to Sanchez, two of which were refused outright. That puts an stop to even beginning negotiations. If Sanchez approved Lara, then Loeffler would take the next step by getting approval from HBO and then attempting to contact Lara's people.

Struggled with Ouma? You do realize that Golovkin had been bed ridden for a week and was told to cancel that fight don't you? He got out of a sick bed where most of us would not even manage to do that to go to our regular job, got in the ring and beat the guy. He may have been struggling with the Flu, but he was not struggling with Ouma. Or any other fighter he has met in the ring for that matter.

But of course, you know better than anyone else in the world, especially the people who were involved directly. You must be a god or something. Or Andre Ward's father. Should we all bow down to you?

He DID struggle with Ouma and looked unimpressive. Get over it bro.

Mayweather didn't look impressive in the first fight against Maidana for the first 4 rounds. Tell me how that fight progressed?

Golovkin dominated the last 3 rounds. He also put Ouma in the hospital. He won AT LEAST 7 out of the 10 rounds before the TKO.

Doesn't sound like much of a struggle.

The haters don't consider GGG to have any talent but if he takes more than two rounds to KTFO his opponent it means he is 'struggling'. But for some reason they never seem to care that their favorite fighters rarely stop their opponents and usually go the distance. Hypocrites much?

No one questions GGG's skill set. His resume is questioned and posters wonder if he will be able to employ his skills in with a great opponent like Ward.

His diehards keep using the excuse that other guys wouldn't fight him. That is PART of it. the other part is the choice of easy opponents over harder ones when Sergio/cotto/chavez/froch fights didn't materialize.

Are you really comparing that version of Ouma to Maidana?
