Comments Thread For: Andy Lee: Let's See Golovkin Face a ****er Like Me!

[nielon]

I respect Andy Lee's boxing career more than GGG's. Lee has shown he does not have a weak mentality and also packs a decent punch. Lee has gone through hell and matched against other top fighters unlike GGG... With that being said, I dont see Lee winning nor lasting 12 rounds with GGG. Is another one of those fights were we all know and can see CLEARLY what will happen.

Therefore, I have NO problems with this fight AS LONG AS IT NOT ON PPV AND IS FREE HBO.

This is not a PPV worthy fight, should be free HBO...

Weak Irish Andy lee is a marginally talented soft Irish wimp who went out and was stopped by an out of shape Chavez jr. Now a Weak Lee vs little g title fight in Dublin would be a classic event if there are any arenas with electricity and seats in all of Dublin. The Irish never had anything to cheer about in all of history outside of a drinking contest and setting off bombs in Belfast directed at the Brit soldiers who sired most of current Ireland as the Irish men hid as the Brits took all the Irish sheep err lassies.

What is the name of your serious account on BS? This is obviously your troll account where you express the real you.

At what weight?

My bad. I should have considered if GGG won.

ward wins-he goes to 175 to fight the winner. GGG wins or loses-he goes back down to 160 if he wishes or he can fight another 168 lb titleholder.

Ok, maybe Lee in Ireland makes the same, but the costs are offset by travel and production expenses from Ireland. Do you know the TV delay, if any?

Are those fights acceptable to you as a fan?

GGG, for better or worse, is where a number of fighters, including Hagler and Floyd, my 2 favorites, found themselves. You can't get what you want so what do you do in the meantime?

If the next 4 fights from GGG are Lee, heiland, Johnson and eubank, that is unacceptable. Blaming the winner of canelo/cotto for not fighting him will not justify those 4 choices.

Ireland is GMT, I believe. So that would be 5 hours ahead of the East Coast. Heiland is a ****ty fight. Lee I like because, A) I like the guy, he is a great ambassador for the sport and B) It is a unification fight. As far as Eubank and Johnson go, if he was just fighting them for the sake of fighting them, then yes they are terrible fights. That said, I'm a huge advocate of people getting their shots when they earned them. Regardless of what I think of them as fighters. I firmly believe in mandatories getting their opportunities.

No issue with Lee.

And for those laughing at Lee or calling him weak if they fight, just like Lara, Lee would instantly become the best fighter GGG has faced. Thats the resume GGG has.

Im all for it

Lemieux would knock Lee out.
But GGG wants all the belts so he has to fight Lee anyway. Ward is out of question now cause i dont think he gets back down to 168.

[Bandman]

I expect it to be Ward v Stevenson or Kov, that's why I said winners fight. If GGG wins, I expect him to drop back to 160 as I said earlier.

but whats so crazy about golovkin being at 175. isnt he being compared to legends like robinson and hopkins already? the guy is a diva protected by his overzealous fanatics. roy jones went from 154 to heavyweight, can you imagine if his fans pampered him as much as golovkin, he would never dare to be great. golovkin and hopkins should never be compared, cut from two different cloth. you see how that clown laughed off the idea of ggg at 175, it was like a reflex to brush that off. golovkin is a protected diva. period.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

umm, GGG versus anyone is probably favored, maybe not Ward, but he's a LHW

If reports are true, Ward can't make 168 anymore. This is why he is trying to drag bad 168 fighters up to LHW. Ward was hoping for someone he could KO. He wants to look like GGG.

For being supposedly most avoided fighter he sure gets called out a lot??? I guess if you not an ex-light weight or welterweight he won't fight you unless your a tomato can. 34 years old and his best fight is against a -1600 to -2200 unknown!

He gets named quite often now. But only by guys who need to make a name. Rarely guys like Lee, Camelo, Cotto willingly fight him.

Lee will do it though, he much more of a man that Canelo's fake ass.

why the fuck are you desperate that you bring up Ward in a thread about a GGG/Lee possible fight?

Lee is another easy KO win for GGG if it happens. YAAAAWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!

Hopefully, HBO will use the same good judgment they did last week and not approve this fight.

It's a unification fight, likely to pick up last MW belt.

Of course they'll sanction it.

What a dumb ass comment.

He said it wasn't competitive. Which is not incorrect, it's his opinion. -Edited: later posted something different-just that ggg will steamrolled him. Don't be so insecure. You injecting Ward into the conversation was just bizarre.

Come on now, the haters do nothing but inject Ward. They are addicted to that ****. Although, it's always in terms of GGG. Because Ward himself is trying to find the worst fighter possible and give him 3 weeks to train for a fight.

This is prize fighting, so yes money matters. I'm not in agreement that Ward would be a bigger money fight than Lee in Ireland, and it is a unification fight, or much bigger than Lemieux, PPV wise. Maybe, but not convinced.

Johnson he will have to deal with since the IBF is the only organization that actually enforces mandatories. Kudos to them. And I'm guessing you can throw Eubank Jr. in there as well with him being the No.1 in the WBA, and he appears to want the fight.

If Lee manages to get by BJS, GGG already has 3 fights that will likely take place next year, not even considering the posibility of a Cotto/Canelo matchup. If they do fight him, that is 4 fights. Where exactly is Ward suppose to fit into the equation?

Now BJS winning could throw a monkey wrench in things , since he is on record, yet again, a couple of days ago in saying that GGG would beat him and Eubank Jr. on the same night. So the WBO might end up hiding away in the UK for a while. So if that happens and GGG can't get the Cotto/Canelo winner, then make the Ward fight, but at this point I have no idea how plausible that is with Ward's new HBO deal.

I read Ward can't make 168 anymore. Makes all this moot. Because Ward doesn't come down for smaller guys, he brings them up.

it's both. HBO wants Kov/Ward to protect GGG. Ward signed on to that plan because he needs to start fighting again. So he gets easy fights (looks like Agnew replaces Murdock, which NSAC didn't approve, not HBO) to try and make sure he doesn't take a loss before the Kov fight to maximize ratings.

Fans (well except casual HBO only guys like you) want to see Kov and Adonis, but HBO and DUva blocked that earlier this year after haymon/Stevenson blocked it last year.

Simple solution-Kov/Adonis to the highest bidder. GGG/Ward @168 the following month. Winners fight.

Protect GGG. Get out of here. And you think Ward is coming down to meet GGG, how sweet.

When he gonna do this? Before or after quite literally trying to beat on human punching bags.

Anyone who hits GGG on fighting then, then brings Ward up, has lost all credibility.

Wards looking pretty ****ing pathetic these days.

yay we get to see ggg face another fighter that is a 15 to 1 underdog

Canelo is already an underdog.

Mayweather fought against underdogs.

When your good, everyone is an underdog.

You probably have to go to LHW to find someone who wouldn't be an underdog against GGG.

Lee has a belt, and is willing.

More than we can say for Canelo chicken azz.

Fighting them just to fight-I'm glad you said that because that's my problem.

I get GGG can't get what he wants and that its BS. Ok, what do you do instead?

GGG is backed by HBO and Ward is backed by Jay-z. Between these 2 en****** they can make and market the ward/ggg fight without much hassle. it will be profitable.

The only downside is GGG gets exposed badly (either by Ko or worse a Floyd/canelo whitewashing) which threatens the GGG/Canelo fight to the masses. GGG could lose and perform well and the Canelo PPV will not be hurt.

If being undefeated means you haven't fought everyone, if belts are worthless, if glory and challenging yourself by fighting the best is more important than money, then why isn't this fight being made??

why are we getting fights just to have GGG fight?

but whats so crazy about golovkin being at 175. isnt he being compared to legends like robinson and hopkins already? the guy is a diva protected by his overzealous fanatics. roy jones went from 154 to heavyweight, can you imagine if his fans pampered him as much as golovkin, he would never dare to be great. golovkin and hopkins should never be compared, cut from two different cloth. you see how that clown laughed off the idea of ggg at 175, it was like a reflex to brush that off. golovkin is a protected diva. period.

Your logic is the most ridiculous thing i've seen this year online. What's wrong with seeing him fighting at 175..overnight no less. 15 pounds from where he is righ now. Show me one single boxer (not hypothetically) but factually fighting at the division they walk around natural weight in. I'm a roy jones fan but Roy never made multi division jumps overnight, nor did hopkins. If you are going to make a case for yourself at least put some thought into what you are saying. Them two dude would've laughed in your face at you demanding they jump two divisions to fight someone just because you think it'll be a challenge for them. Never mind the top 20 fighters at 168 who he would be skipping over just to fight ward..meanwhile Ward can just sit on his @ss not have to do anything at all. Makes a whole lot of sense...

I certainly don't compare him to Roy or B-Hop. He has a long ways to go for that conversation.
