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

[SteveM]

Canelo/Cotto isn't a big PPV fight?

Financially - do you think a Mayweather fight brings in the same moeny as a Cotto/Canelo fight?

Which is easier - going up or down?

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 difference is that Hagler had competition at that weight, GGG doesn't. Who on GGG's resume, or currently in the MW division Duran, Hearns, Leonard, Mugabi? And Hagler used to have to go to guys hometown on their promoters cards knowing he had to get the KO to win, and Hagler did it. If GGG unifies this current MW division it's nowhere near as impressive as what Hagler or Hopkins did.

It is, but there's no moving up or down if its 2 MW champs

I'm not saying he'll ever be on that level, simply that you can be a great without moving up, or moving up at 41. Notice their top wins were blown up big names

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.

Lara has repeatedly offered to come to 160 to fight but instead of seriously pursuing the fight they make excuses, networks, he's not a draw, nobody knows him. Abel Sanchez actually had to gall to say Willie Monroe Jr was a bigger draw than Lara

The first quote was anybody from 154-168. When Ward wanted the fight they changed it to only 168 for a big fight. That was understandable at the time because JCC Jr and Froch were huge draws. So when Canelo, a huge PPV fight, said 155 they've changed it to only 154 for Floyd. I know you are a big GGG fan but you can't see how they keep moving the goal posts every time their bluff gets called?

It doesn't matter what blowhard Sanchez says, Lara was never a possibility, esp not for that date.

Damage control for what.

GGG has said many times he'd come to 154 to fight Floyd.

It's the kind of fight you don't turn down.

I personally don't feel like Floyd should fight GGG, dude is 38. And has no power left in those hands.

Don't play dumb. Damage control for anything that might paint ggg in a bad light. You devotees spend hours responding to EVERYTHING unflattering people post about Golovkin. It's creepy. You know this shows Sanchez to be a hyhypocrite and weakens ggg's faux warrior image. That's why you guys are mobbing this thread in force. Don't embarrass yourself by trying to claim anything otherwise. I'm not commenting about the illegitimacy of his 154 claims, only about the awkwardly protective nature of his fans.

You obviously didn't know, else why bring up he was 165 in the ams? Either ignorant or ******, but I'm betting on both

If I'm ****** and you believe a COMPULSIVE liar again, and again, and AGAIN...That makes you a F'n FULL Blown RTARD AKA GGGTard. You clowns make PTards look like Ivy league Scholars! I used to think NO Fans could be worse than those guys??? And here you are! Living Proof I was wrong.

And don't waste my time any more! Just put GGG nutz back in your mouth and sit their like a "Good Boy"

Ahh, lol, all the little Floyd fanboys. He tiny doe. Floyd beats GGG doe. GGG don't want none of 168 doe.

The facts:


Floyd fought at 154 doe, 2 1/2 times doe.

You can't say Floyd beats him then makes excuses doe. (Actually you can), no substance doe.

GGG hasn't fought at 168 doe, not the same as a 3 time champ doe.

155 is one pound above 154 doe. Cotto and Canelo both been somewhere in between doe.

If and when GGG goes to 168, he's not required to fight Ward in his debut doe.

That will bring us back to Doe, oh oh oh

Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
