Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Praises Canelo, Wants Unification

[PK3434]

Fans who say ward would beat golovkin at least are thinking in reality. It makes sense even though I think it would be a great fight that could go either way.

However, anyone who thinks Lara has a f**king chance against Golovkin is out of their mind. That is an easy early knockout waiting to happen.

I hope Cotto beats Canelo, drops the belt, and GGG gets no superfight.

That would be hilarious! It would serve the coward right. That's what he deserves for ducking Ward. Amazing that this coward has any fans on this site. All he does is duck and dodge elite fighters in their primes. Watch him chase 40-year old WWs and blown-up JMWs for the rest of his career. Best middleweight my ass. More like best businessman.

Why??????????

Because "WAAAAH GGG MAKE ME MAAAD!" lol

[Bossman15]

You do realize that recently canelo has been outweighing ggg in the ring? The only difference between the two is that canelo kills himself in order to shrink to 155,while ggg has no problem fighting at the full 160.

And they think Floyd couldn't fight Golovkin cause he's too big knowing he could drop the weight to 154 when everyone knows Golovkin's last 5 fights were at 159 some 159 1/2 and Canelo has been at 154

But I honestly don't see Floyd having a reason to fight Golovkin I see Golovkin fighting the winner of Canelo/Cotto next the whoever the winner is of Lee/Saunders or Quillin/Jacobs fight in the near before he takes that Ward fight which he will but Canelo will fight Andrade Or the Charlo Brothers in the near if he ends up not fighting Golovkin

Say what you want but after all of the boasts an ducking accusations, when team ggg had the chance to make a real splash in the boxing world (Ward fight) they insisted on a catch weight Ward can't possibly make. This killed the fight.

The real losers are true boxing fans. I wanted to see if gggs immense skills truly were good enough to beat an A list opponent. Didn't you?

Most would consider him top 5 lb 4 lb. He's def not at the bottom of most top 10 lists.

Also, let's clear a misconception . You can't duck someone outside of your weight class. May can't duck ggg, ggg can't duck ward, etc. All you can do is ask a fighter to fight the best in his weight class. If he wants to move up, ok. But fighters should not be accused of ducking bc they actually want to fight in their own weight class. It's ridiculous and only something fanboys do. Real boxing heads don't think that way

Not to argue with you but I've been seeing this misconception too much as though it is truth. You can duck/avoid, whatever you want to call it, a fighter not in your weight class. You see this more readily in the amateurs when fighters move up or move down in certain tournaments to avoid certain guys. Many 154ers are not in a hurry to move to 160 because of Golovkin. Canelo seems to be fighting tooth and nail to avoid moving up even though he clearly is having hell making 154 anymore. Cotto seems to be using the catchweight safety shield. Golovkin's team clearly stated they would fight anyone from 154 to 168. They even stated nobody from those weight classes wanted to fight which is what got Ward to respond in an unusual manner. Also they went as far as to agree with Chavez Jr at 168 and negotiate with Froch at 168 but flatly refused 168 with Ward. When Chavez and Froch both pulled out of the Golovkin talks everybody called them duckers. You can't use "your" weight class as a safety zone when you want. Either stay at that weight or do not call out a whole weight class when you really don't want it with the kingpin of that division. That's what makes it a duck. Just so I know where you are coming from, while using your logic, no other weight class be considered ducking Golovkin who are all the guys from 160 ducking him?

Tough guy. Calling out a 155 lber.

That would be hilarious! It would serve the coward right. That's what he deserves for ducking Ward. Amazing that this coward has any fans on this site.

Well.... it's Pigeons... so it's kind of expected

Pigeons, ProCotto and Petuff are probably the 3 posters who least engage their brains before typing something. It's not the keyboard equivalent of verbal diarrhea that they spout as they never seem to write more than a sentence - more like smelly keyboard farts that stink up a thread.

And you're a ****ing ****** if you think Ward is fighting anyone other than a tune up
How many times do you need to hear Ward, Hunter or Itskowich say that the time isn't right for this fight?
They know more about the situation than you do.

Why??????????

Exactly, if you are a boxing fan you want to see the best fights period.
