Comments Thread For: Loeffler: We Can't Force Cotto or Canelo To Face GGG

[KTFO]

But Loeffler can encite the fans by mentioning Cotto, Canelo, and Ward every time he speaks. I've always thought of GGG as the real deal, but team GGG has been more than happy to collect a check from HBO to fight Joe Schmoe for years. Now he's on the cusp of stardom they want to act all high and mighty? Be careful what you wish for because each one of those guys is capable of beating GGG.

He doesn't need Ward to leave a great legacy on retirement. Sure, fighting Ward would improve his legacy, but not strictly necessary. I he moves up and gets a belt at SMW that will probably seal HOF.

Hall of famer without beating anyone of note? Geez

Wow, I'm not sure if your saying Canelo and Cotto suck.

That Ward comment isn't legit.

GGG jumping up to fight Ward would be ****** right now.(And horrible business, career, financial dicision)

He has PPV, he has the Lineal MW title coming, he has unification (which is rarely done). He has breaking b-hops record.

These feats matter much more than taking a fight with a guy 20 pounds heavier than him.

That's a fight he may take, but after he has done what he needs to at MW.

I get it, Cotto just isn't on GGG level, but he needs dealt with. He can't walk around as MW champ.ring mag has him ranked best MW.

Taking a risky fight with a guy who is 20 pounds heavier, that's not what you do while he has work.

Also, that WW that beat Canelo, was a few years older than GGG at the time.

GGG isn't running out of time. He has plenty of it.

Not to mention Ward could very well be doing something to make a fight like that worth it.

He has Kovalev.

The winner of Canelo vs Cotto will probably be stripped sometime after the 1st of the year if a mandatory with Golovkin isn't set, which I am thinking will happen.

As for Ward, he is not relevant in the SMW division anymore as most don't believe he can even make the 168 limit. On top of that, he has trouble putting butts in the seats in his own hometown as he is just a boring fighter, he runs and holds constantly which very few fans enjoy watching. I actually see him retiring and continuing as a boxing analyst which he is excellent at.

Winners of those remaining fights for undisputed mw titles & lineage.

Hightail it out of the MW division.

In a way, they are really playing fans.

They want you to believe they are fighting to be MW champs, but in reality, they are fighting to be guy who vacates or is stripped for refusing to make the rightful mandatory.

For those who say they are not MW, well gee, because I'm almost sure their fight is billed as a fight for the MW crown.

I get it, boxing is jacked in that way.

Fight for a lineal belts are a big deal, but to turn around and claim you are not really the Lineal champion is BS.

No matter how hard you Canelo & Cotto fans twist and turn, there is no way to make it sound like them having that belt but refusing to fight GGG makes sense.

I'll be just as happy to watch those pretenders get out of the way.

That's why neither has real shot at P4P.

I think those fights can happen. Fans just gotta relax a bit.

You can't force the to fight you GGG, just as no one can force you to fight Ward. Do not be a hypocrit call it both ways!

Carson, California - One could make an argument that there has been no better job done with promoting a fighter in the last five years than what Tom Loeffler, the managing director of K2 Promotions, has accomplished with Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KO’s).

Golovkin appeared on HBO for the first time in September of 2012 in a small arena from Verona, New York. Since then he has sold out venues in Southern California while growing his popularity in New York so much that in his second time at the big room in Madison Square Garden, he is expected to sell out his first pay-per-view bout.
