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

Yes, let's.

GGG is at least 10-1 favorite over any fighter he faces in his weight class. Are those legit odds? Nope. What it means though is the betting public and odds makers feel he cannot be beaten.

Everyone talks about why he should move up. He does not have to. He has every right to linger at 160. It is not like he has grown out of his weight class.

wow another almost 20-1 underdog for GGG. Lee is from NYC so the Garden will sell out again.

Tell me anyone in the MW division who would not be a heavy underdog against GGG?

[Ray Corso]

Pretty sure they fought in the Common Wealth games or Pan American Tourny.
Probably 12 years ago. I believe GGG steamed rolled him by alot inside 3 rds.
Lee is game and he brings heart to the fight no doubt about that. For a tall southpaw he kind of fights backwards by not using his height and reach.
He tries to box then he starts to fight not sure from what I've seen of him thats the right approach. I remember Manny had him in Detriot and tried to teach him to box to set up shots but he falls back to fighting and with real punchers thats not the right choice.
If he is in line by a federation to challenge then he deserves the shot.
Lets if Cotto vs Canelo winner has the ballz to put up or give up the belt.
Then let Lee get his earened shot, along with the rest of the top men at 160.

does andre ward have an opponent lined up? if not he should fight that cuban gonzalez that gave pascal hell. i dont agree with taking two "easy" fights and then jumping in with kovalev. unlike golovkin i call my fighters out on their bullsht, ward needs no more damn tune ups, paul smith overweight sorry a.ss was enough. as far as golovkin i will be the first in the thread to take my L if he beats lara. thats the best available opposition at the moment in my eyes. canelo-cotto winner will rematch or bring floyd out of retirement, those guys have bigger things to do than entertain mr. 97K fans. so scratch them off, quillin? doubt that happens too. ward? his fanboys say hes too big but chavez isn't, so scratch him off. the best name out there thats ready and willing is lara. so why not. in a few more years guys like andrade and julian will move up but golovkin needs to take a big fight now, hes not young. or do what hopkins did, dare to be great and climb to LHW and face the best up there. too much to ask? oh i forgot how pampered this diva is.

He turned down Gonzalez over a month ago. That's who HBO wanted him to fight

exactly-since you are going to be the heavy favorite against everyone and need a defining fight against a top tier opponent, go to 168 to fight Ward.

Lose, come back down to 160 and then rebuild your brand with these fights. Win, and either stay at 168 or come back to 160 as the #1 p4p fighter in the world.

...so he should drop everything to either move up ~2 spots in P4P ratings or risk having to rebuild his career at age 34?

That's like telling a Lieutenant in the army "hey, we want you to command this brigade for in a battle. if you win, we'll pin a bullsht medal on you. if you lose, we bust you down to corporal. HOW ABOUT IT??"

[bigjer88]

yeah, who gets befuddled by BJs?

What sacrifices, Hopkins fought MW titles to unify. He took a CW against a much smaller De La Hoya.

And it was contracted at 158.

WBC isn't stripping them until after because they have a step aside agreement

Do you even know what's going on.

The WBC was gonna strip Cotto, but Cotto/Canelo signed an agreement with GGG for step aside. They paid GGG to wait. Now they want to act like divas and say they're not MW.

WBC has said multiple times this week alone that winner faces GGG or he is elevated to Super, period.

CANELO and his fans are scared of GGG. They act like Ward is GGG mandatory for the MW belt. Hiding beside Ward doesn't save Canelo from GGG.

Ducking him to peddle this I'm not a MW story does. Just vacate already.

Then Canelo can take is 175 pound JRMW ass back to 154 where he gasses out and looks bad against top fighters.

Good for him!

Ward is the favorite fighter for Canelo fans these days, it's funny ****.

And Dan Rafael says Ward can't make 168 anymore, and has moved on. Wards last fight was at 172, against a SMW nonetheless.

I have know clue if Ward can make 168, but I do know he is trying to pull 168 fighters up to 175. So I'm betting it's true.

And again, Ward wanted GGG at end of 2016, when he knew GGG was gonna have fights.

GGG is unifying the MW division, whether Canelo stand in the way and gets KO'd, but mans up, or just bows like a ***** and hands his belt to GGG, that's up to him.

You should start a blog. It's obvious that you have a lot on your mind.

That is the ******est comparison in NSB history, which is saying something.

Risk v reward is the essence of prize fighting. He was willing to do this for Chavez or froch so it isn't a big deal doing it for Ward. Had he lost to either of them then he'd have been in the same position.

Why are you and others so deathly afraid of him taking on a challenge?

that's the million dollar question Dunn, GGG just cleaned out the ESPN Friday Night Fights roster and there are comparisons to Marvin Hagler
