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

[DARKSEID]

When it comes to 160, Andy lee is a top contender. He has the pedigree and the weaponry to give golovkin a good fight.

When we're talking about the middle weight picture you have to mention andy lee.

Dude Chavez Jr beat you. Golovkin would murder Lee

You don't judge someone's entire career just by one fight. Sometimes people have off nights, sometimes injuries happen. Sometimes the fighter you're fighting at 160 is actually a juiced cruiserweight.

Let's face it, chavez jr has failed more piss tests than he's passed.

Golovkin would ****ing obliterate Andy Lee. I hope Lee wins so Golovkin actually gets that chance to be undisputed.

Andy lee is not lemiuex lol

If Golovkin fought him, that would be the highest quality opponent on his resume.

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

It is mind boggling. some posters DESPERATELY want GGG to be the face of the sport but want him to avoid the fight that would elevate him to that position among hardcore fans right now.

he beats Ward and then Canelo/GGG is the equivalent of Floyd. ODH-the (for now) face of the sport v the guys hardcore fans perceive is the best fighter in the sport.

Andy Lee is the exact same quality of fighter that Golovkin has beaten multiple times over now in Macklin, Murray, Geale, Lemieux, etc. He'd be a very easy win for Golovkin. Not even a question. There's not one thing he could do to win besides land a big punch, same as Lemieux. The only difference is how he would go about it, and he doesn't have any more chance of it than Lemieux.

Andy lee has been dominating since his loss to chavez, and had a draw with the other name in the division: peter quillin.

I'm sorry but no he's not. Andy lee is not going to get knocked out easily, he's going to make golovkin work for every punch that he lands and answer with his own.

He has the power to knock anybody at 160 out.

It's not easy to connect with a 6'2 boxer with solid, strong fundamentals when you're 5' 10, and you always gotta watch out for his right hand coming back at you. Andy Lee's not an easy fight for anyone.

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?

First, ******est is not a word :-D
Second, I believe my comparison is true. His reward is miniscule. Move up on P4P rankings? Do you think he cares enough about them to take an unnecessary setback to his career at his age? Ward is NOT in his division. Ward can MAYBE make SMW, but is already signed to fight a LHW. That is a 15 pound weight difference.

Yes, risk vs. reward IS the essence of prize fighting. He called out ALL 3 of these guys when it made sense - in 2012, during the now infamous 54-68 comment. He STOPPED calling them out one by one when it STOPPED making sense for him.

Do you know that he said he has no interest in both Chavez AND Ward back in March?

Ward rejection was further reinforced in April when they said Ward turned them down and said he wants a couple of tune ups first. They also again reinforced the finances of the fight.
In the same article they reference, VERY specifically, Froch in England. There is NO controversy. Ward said he wants tune ups, and Froch was a bigger name any case. So they focused on Froch.

TODAY, do you see Golovkin calling out Chavez or Froch? Do you think if either of these wanted to fight at 168 Golovkin's team would take them? Not a chance in hell. Time changes things.
Want an example? Ward said he will be the Heavyweight Champion by the age of 32So why in the blue hell is he trying to pick a fight with a guy in a lower division? Because time changes things.

This argument is a broken record. Golovkin called them out when he needed them, Ward failed to make the fight when it made sense for both of them (early 15). Now Ward needs Golovkin and has been calling him out, because Ward's popularity is in the crapper. It's a publicity stunt. They both know it. Ward is signed to fight Kov in 2016. GGG's team has said they don't see a fight vs. Ward until 2017.

If you think the only way for Golovkin to 'prove his worth' is to beat a fighter 2 divisions heavier than him without catchweights, that's YOUR problem. Golovkin is a middleweight. That's where he will fight until he accomplishes his objectives.

He has not been dominating. He was losing to Jackson and Korobov before the knockouts. That's his only chance against Golovkin and he isn't good enough to make it happen.

Quillin sucks. He needed a dubious stoppage in a fight he was arguably losing to beat the same Gabe Rosado that Golovkin disfigured. A draw with him doesn't mean **** except that Andy Lee is mediocre as hell, just like Quillin.
