Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter: He'll Only Go Down For Mayweather

[bigjavi973]

Come on ffs. If team GGG even mentioned Heiland people like you would cram it back down their collective throat. Virtually everybody would rather see Lemieux-Golovkin than Lara-Golovkin. If GGG beat Lara he would probably not get credit for it and if he lost he would lose all credibility and all the while he would make hardly any money - once Lara has a belt or actually can bring some money that fight could be made.

Golovkin is 33 and six months now. I figure he has possibly another 18-24 months in his prime depending on how ****** up he gets in the ring. Actually I think he may be past his physical prime now but his experience will temporarily mask that.

He's looking to 1/ maximize his earnings and 2/ create a legacy ... In that order! Fighting Lara does neither. The only reason to take Heiland or Johnson is if they become mandatories or as a stay-busy fight as Golovkin says he likes to fight 3/4 times a year.

next time ask me that question instead of assuming a response.

all that talk that no one wants to fight him is pure bullshit.

I dont care if GGG only wants to move from his natural weight for big money fights (which outweighs the size disadvantage Golovkin would have). Thats normal. Froch/Chavez were those options. Like i posted before, what other names were put out? If he called out a fighter from 168 who didnt offer a big money fight, then ya I can understand the outrage. Floyd does the exact same thing at 154. Hes a solid welterweight, and would put himself at a massive disadvantage to fight at 154 for money[/QUOTED

Dude he called out EVERYONE from 154-168.

BUT FLOYD WENT FROM 154 ALL THE WAY FROM 130...GGG'S SO GAY HE WONT GO TO 168 JUST FROM 160

broner has more balls than the guy from skippeded a weight class just to go to 147...then said if he wins him and canelo can get it on lol

Ward has no belts. Ward had his knees buckled in the sixth round by 'Tomato Can Smith', in his own home town arena which was only half full. Ward has no right to even be in the ring with GGG right now. Why should GGG go down to fight Cotto or Canelo for the 160 pound middleweight belt. If Cotto or Canelo don't want to fight GGG then GGG will be given the belt. Going down for only Mayweather makes sense. Who wouldn't want to drop six pounds to fight Mayweather? In one more year you haters of GGG will be eating all of your words.

GGG main motivation is to unify at middleweight. Any others fights outside of this weight is just for financial reasons. Can GGG even make 154 without being physically impacted?

Unify, aka fight a couple bums that named Lemiuex and Lee that have been KO'd by C level competition. And fight a jr middleweight.

I dont care for nonsense hype and quotes coming from fighters. Ward said hed beat a Klitschko, Floyd said he wants to fight his opponents at their comfortable weights, Manny said he'd fight Floyd for free, Tarver said he'd be the best opponent for Wlad.. The list goes on. Im able to use my own brain to weed out the bull**** talk for headlines. I understand others may have difficulty doing so, especially when it doesnt fit their particular agenda so much

I also dont care for what, according to you, NSB has set the bar at. As a 'manny fan' or whatever childish group you want to put me in, 'gotta represent doe', i have independent thought and really dont care for the promoter politics surrounding either GGG or Ward, not nearly as much as you. Golovkin can stay at his natural weight for as long as he wants. Hagler did it. Id only take issue if he insisted on staying there after completely cleaning it out, but thats a bridge hes nowhere near crossing just yet

There wasn't a super middleweight division when hagler was fighting. Can ya please stop with the Hagler comparisons already?

Yeah that fine, but he's the reigning unified lineal SWW champ. He's been paying those sanctioning fees for 3+ years. Why do that if too small for the belt?

Floyd can do whatever he wants with his money. GGG brings nothing to the table financially. He's not Oscar. He's not Canelo. He's not Cotto. So the same way GGG is willing to move up for Froch and Chavez Jr, but not Ward. Floyd wss willing to move up for Oscar, Nelo, and Cotto, but not GGG. Perfectly understandable.

Damn, GG is willing to go all the way to 147 to fight Floyd. Good for him..

I was trying to explain that logic with Cotto rematching floyd instead of fighting this unproven star.. but it didnt work.. well said

If you're unified, lineal champ with 3+yr current reign, he's not moving up in weight to answer Gggs challenge at 154
