Comments Thread For: Photos: Golovkin, Lemieux Go Face To Face in NYC

[MarsinLeo]

GGG haters can't stand the idea that he's fighting on PPV....Meanwhile the unknown (besides NSB and Oakland) Andre SOG Ward fights on BET.

He has one fight on BET and you're talking smack? LOL!

I don't think there is one Andre Ward fan in the world that cares GGG is fighting on PPV.

Kermit Cintron and Antonio Margarito headlined a PPV back in the day. Were they A SIDERS too?

FOH!!

Ward normally fights and commentates on both HBO and SHO. I don't think he's losing any sleep over GGG fighting Lemiux on PPV.

Fearing a loss and fearing a person is two different things. You said 3G feared Ward, he clearly doesn't. This is boxing, fights are negotiated and each fighter looks for advantages. Fighting at the full limit at 168 could be said to be an advantage for Ward, does that mean Ward is afraid of 3G? Don't be an idiot, neither of these guys fears the other, and for the record I think Ward defeats 3G at any weight.

You don't know who fears what bruh... and neither do I. However, you're talking like a boxer fearing another boxer is some type of myth. Like these guys aren't still human or something.

Bernard Hopkins stated a while ago that he routinely takes a DUMP before most of his fights because he's nervous.

Boxers go through the same emotions as everyone else.

You're going to tell me Mike Tyson wasn't a little intimidated by Holyfield? He bit that man out of FEAR.

Are you going to tell me Michael Grant didn't look terrified of Lennox Lewis when they fought?

Fear is real.

We dont understand why a boxing fan would concern himself with that.

And we certainly dont understand why a boxing fan would accept that rubbish and use it as an excuse.

I do know that Golovkin is not the A-side with Cotto/Canelo..... so I cant wait to see you flip-flop shamelessly when it comes to that negotiation.

LMAO! They gon be real salty when Cotto pull that "I am not a real Middleweight" on GGG's ass. Same for Canelo.

I hope GGG and his fans are ready to see GGG vs Canelo/Cotto at 154. LOL! And I don't wanna hear no excuses afterwards.

If Golovkin retired today, he would be forgotten tomorrow.

He has done absolutely nothing to carve a meaningful legacy.

Nothing !

And yet today, his fanboys think that he should have the power to avoid/disadvantage prospective opponents based on his ticket sales.

SMFH

We appear to have two distinct groups of fans now.

One group focus primarily on legacy and meaningful fights.

The other group focus mainly on ticket sales and TV numbers.

The fact is, it doesn't matter how many tickets Hypekin sells today, because unless he fights some meaningful opponents his tickets/numbers will be forgotten tomorrow, along with him.

Damn.... that's that ETHER!

Bullshht !

Lemieux is just another mid-level tough guy, nothing more.

Provodnikov 2.0

Exactly. They're trying to hype Lemiux like he's PRIME NIGEL BENN or GERALD MCCLELLAN. LOL!

Lemiux is average. Heavy puncher with suspect defense, limited footwork and doesn't fight behind his jab. He has a nice inside game, but again, rarely uses a jab to get in. He also lunges a lot, leaving him off balance and wide open to counters.

GGG should be able to KO him by the mid rounds.

Ward would KO Lemiux as well. Buddy's defense is wack.

Damn Ward wants no part of Kovalev

Hey man... I already said it's acceptable for GGG to get a tuneup fight if he agrees to fight Ward at 168.

And no matter how you slice it, nobody would bring GGG the notoriety, fame and money that Ward would bring him (above 160).

Sorry to inform you but GGG vs CHAVEZ is barely a sell-able fight. Who's going to buy that fight? Certainly not Americans.

Froch vs. GGG is also not a big money fight in the US. And it doesn't matter anyway because Ward already beat Froch.

WARD is the GOD of the 168lb division and GGG knows that.

No need to talk about this one anymore though because GGG still has to prove himself against the likes of David Lemiux. Lemiux is a B- class fighter (being generous). Every single fighter that Andre Ward beat in the super six (including Allan Green) is superior to David Lemiux.

Good debate tho.

Not really !

You are spitting the facts, and that other guy is just spitting.

[aboutfkntime]

even his opponents who he "lets hit him"? that's blatant disrespect towards your opponent. it lacks class and dignity. it's against the true "warrior spirit".

And its total bullshht !

On this site, Ward would be heavily criticised for selecting Lemieux.

Damn.... that's that ETHER!

Dude you're backing the sorriest troll on NSB. Pathetic. You learn what A side means yet?
