Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Me vs. Mayweather is Biggest Fight in The World

[BrometheusBob.]

Well this would be a pretty big money fight, but Mayweather doesn't need to take it.

Money wise GGG would be very lucky to get above $3 mil w/ Mayweather fight.

Dam, I want some of whatever you're on

Casual boxing fans fall for anything. GGG would not dare to call out someone who is one class above him but calls out a guy who is two classes below him. Floyd has the 154 belt but has only weighed 151/152 for all of them. GGG was willing to meet Froch at the full 168 lb limit but had the audacity to demand that Andre Ward come down to 164 to fight him. What does that tell you? He claims that no one would fight him? There are plenty of strong middleweights with belts like David Lemieux, Andy Lee especially, Daniel Jacobs all champions that are strong and would fight him immediately. He said he wants to unify the titles. Well he can fight all them this year. Andy Lee is tall and strong and would beat him I believe. He just likes to call out the much smaller fighters.

It's funny the mudslingers who cry "casual" show a propensity to not be on top of boxing politics themselves. David Lemieux is being held back by GB and is in the group of "we will but now now" fighters. Jacobs is with Al. Lee cannot fight immediately as he has his Saunders fight in September but is the only one of the three who seems up for the fight.

Even Ward is saying, not till next year. That's cause unlike the rest, its not ppv so depends on Hbos tight budget. It'll be by far the most expensive non ppv fight in years. But the one time HBO did come calling, GGG said yes, Ward said no.

No, Ward said this fall. He was on SportsNation w/Kellerman and said he wants GGG now!!! He said the reason he came on the show is because he knew Kellerman was going to ask him about GGG.

It's funny how GGG fans want him to fight FMJ because he has a chance of winning but when Ward name is mentioned you guys use every excuse to discredit him.

Are you guys worried about the outcome of GGG against Ward?

If I was Floyd, I'd use some of my purse to get GGG a full medical checkup, including MRI's and X rays before the fight.

My guess is the poster Golovkin is studying if plantar fasciitis or a back injury can be detected by medical check ups. He is also practicing how to spell migraine headache.

... GGG said he wanted Ward "now" like two years ago... one year ago... and what? And what? Ward didn't give a shit -- because he had "managerial issues"... Now GGG has "schedule issues" a.s.o. ... Ward must wait his turn this time around.

There you are making up YOUR history again. When he made that claim he was the most feared boxer and would fight anyone from 154-168, Ward said he would and all we heard was silence. GGG's team is the only one stating this, HBO didn't acknowledge that claim.

You GGG fans need to find the next bandwagon after this one comes to a screeching halt.

HBO did acknowledge it-they had Lampley say on air, with Ward standing next to him, that Ward/GGG isn't a fight that fans should be asking for right now.

I'm referring to when all these GGG fans said Ward said 'no' 3 times in a meeting with GGG and HBO.

The poster statement was Ward said 'no' to GGG for 2 years.

I know, I was just putting it out there that HBO was aware of the fact hardcore fans were talking about the Ward fight and they wanted to shut it down.

They want to save it for after GGG establishes himself on PPV by beating Canelo/Cotto, can't risk Ward derailing GGG.
