Comments Thread For: Sanchez: Golovkin Only Goes To 154 For Mayweather

[SteveM]

You just said that they would go up or down for a big PPV fight. Well, Canelo would be a huge PPV fight.

less than half as huge. Therefore go down less than half as far = 2 lbs = 158 max.

Sanchez was pretty clear the first time. He clearly said that GGG would anybody from the 154-168 division but he never actually said he'd fight them at any weight that fighter wants.

Nor does that comment mean GGG has to fight every one of them whenever they grow a set of balls to fight him.

Ward didn't want to fight until GGG moved on.

Team GGG are correctly pursuing other options.

A guy who made a name for himself by beating nobodies and who couldn't even sell 100k PPV shouldn't even dream about fighting mayweather

Berto's wildest dreams came true - sometimes they do.

It's so funny dumbasses ask this, because the assumption is that Canelo is the same size as Floyd, and we all know that isn't true.

GGG comes down to 154 to meet a much smaller Floyd.

GGG doesn't need to come to 155 to meet a fighter who his same size.

I'm surprised anybody even attempts to put these two in the same box.

So many posters on here have no wish to follow a train of logic - they wouldn't have an argument.

Every other great fighters, outside of the HW division, has moved weight classes to be great. James Toney went from MW to HW in order to be great. Slinks fought MW in they Olympics and became HW champion as a pro. This guy is 33 with no names on his resume, fighting in a division where the lineal champ started at 135. The division is trash. I don't care if he gets a vacated belt & unifies against Saunders/Lee that doesn't make him great. Everyone said this guy was different, he's a real fighter, he's fighting for legacy. He's a business boxer just like every other boxer.

Some never did, like Hagler, and some moved up way older, like Hopkins. Both were undisputed at MW though, something GGG is yet to do.

The Super Middleweight division wasn't recognized until after Hagler retired.

They won't go to 168 for anyone. They've been upfront, will go up or down for a big Ppv fight. Nothing new here

Canelo/Cotto isn't a big PPV fight?

[theocdog]

can you guys compromise at 157lbs?
