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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Grow up FFS.

Yeah I'm going to take advice from the guy who plays dumb to blatant racism.

[New England]

it's going to be david lemieux.

lemiuex isn't a horrible choice, in spite of his losses to rubio [via knockout,] and alcine [via "i look like i want to quit boxing."]

wins over rosado and ndam rejuvied his career some. he does have talent. you don't teach people how to punch hard. lemieux might hit harder than golovkin does.


while he's now world beater, and lemieux will provide golovkin a hard punching oppontn. detractors who say "what happens when he fights a puncher" will have to take notice. i thought curtis stevens was a solid puncher, but he doesn't hit like lemieux by any stretch, and is really more of a one handed fighter anyway.


you can't get on golovkin too mcuhf or martinez avoiding him. cotto and alvarez used cotto's status as current champion to avoid him as well.

did you literally only read the first sentence of my post? he was willing to take that risk for them because they brought money to the table. plus he could probably beat them without actually becoming a full super middleweight (i.e. he could just cut less weight rather than gaining muscle). to beat andre ward he would probably have to fully acclimatise to the weight (i.e. gain muscle), which would make it impossible to come back down to 160 lbs and finish his business there. he offered the catchweight i suppose because it's easier to gain and subsequently lose 4 lbs of muscle than it is 8 lbs, so if ward wanted the fight before golovkin was ready to move up, then compromises would have to be made

My bad. I completely missed that somehow. Still, that goes to show he cares more about the money than the glory though, not that there's anything wrong with that. I'd just rather not hear the "Ward is ducking" comments in that case.

The glory comes from becoming the second man in history to unify all the titles at middleweight. There is no glory in moving up for one fight and moving back down, that is and always will be nothing but a money fight. Let GGG unify at 160 and Ward do the same at 168 and THEN they can have a superfight for true GLORY of becoming the first unified undisputed dual division champion of the world.

Oh the irony...

If you have a post where I presented inaccurate information, please bring it forward.

[borikua]

The winner of Mosley-Mayorga? lol

[MDPopescu]

Ward already inferred it's not happening in 2015. I think it'll be Lemieux, exciting match-up on paper.

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

[Jewish-Reptile]

I wouldn't be happy with Lara yet if it went some way to exposing Haymon fighters to HBO I'd be happy with it, it won't happen though.

Lemieux vs Canelo is a much more appealing fight, in fact the entire division (top 15) excluding GGG versus each other is exciting, GGG should move up if he wants to be respected for taking challenging fights.

Can this be substantiated ?

[ELPacman]

I believe it's David Lemieux. His tweet was a dead giveaway.
