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

[HeroBando]

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 didn't go like that at all. It was anyone 154-168. Hbo: even Ward? GGG: sure let's get it on. Ward: here's an excuse. With that attitude GGG gets big enough that he'd only go up or down for a PPV. Then finally his path to MW unification opens up, now Ward wants it. Next year, at 50/50 lol.

How can you support MW unification for 3 belts + lineal at 155? Doesn't it make you feel gross?

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

Lara is not a superstar, brings no money, is not even the best in his division (Canelo beat him and Andrade we don't know) and if Cotto is a jr middleweight as he himself and many of his fans say then we don't know if Lara is even better than Cotto.

If Lara would take just one fight against a top 15 MW and win and THEN call out Golovkin he would probably get taken much more seriously. If he really feels that he can beat Golovkin and it is not just about the exposure and a payday, why doesn't Lara do that? He has been vocal about Golovkin a while now - in all that time he could have fought at least a couple of times at MW and maybe even got himself ranked. Guess who he should target? How about Monroe Jr.? But he doesn't want to do that.

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"

Uh what's this dribble? It's only boxing banter bud, no need for foaming at the mouth

This shadow guy is like some comical Mr. Angry character. He probably powers all his neighborhood what with all the steam coming out of his ears. His local computer supplies store is putting in his weekly order for keyboards just about right now.

Reminds me of Barcham but he is on the other side of the Golovkin debate.

Exactly, and here are some others who ducked/ducking GGG

1---Felix sturm - wouldn't fight him for over 2 years when GGG was mandatory.

2---Peter quillin - said he will only fight for the may-pac kind of money, lol + he flew to Haymon to avoid GGG

3---Sergio martinez - "His promoter said that "no way I am putting him with this monster", GGG kept calling him out after his U.S. debut after every fight

4---Hassaan ndam njikam -When Hassaan was WBO champ, he was ordered to a purse bid to face Golovkin no less than two times and he was a no show each time.

5---Miguel cotto - didn't want to fight him despite being mandatory.

6---Julio cesar chavez jr - Turned down 12mil offer by TR

7---Saul alvarez - Thinks that he is fighting at the weight-class of 155, as there is no such thing as a "155 weight-class" ,he is pretending to be not in the MW division because of GGG.There are 17 divisions just pick one, if you can't make 154 then you are a MW, simple.

8---Carl froch - After calling GGG out then when GGG accepted ,he backed down and now he is retired after making all the fuss, GGG was calling him for more than a year so no excuses for "retiring".

9---Andrea Ward. The diva of the 168lb division don't want to travel or meet the a-side GGG in a catchweight so he can become a good boy and get ktfo. Was willing to goto 160 for Floyd but when GGG said 164, Ward ducked.+ he was fine when Dawson came down a whole division for him but wont move half a division for GGG, smh

10---Sebastian Sylvester - When Sylvester was IBF champ, he ducked GGG blatantly

11---Darren Barker - When Barker defeated Geale to become IBF champ, his promoter openly said that Barker will fight any1 except GGG

That's a long list of ducks doe.

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

Which is easier - going up or down?

There's this myth that Floyd brings in fighters a lot of money. The only fighters to make over $4 mil fighting Floyd were Canelo, Mosley,ODLH & Pacquiao. Kirkland made only 1.3 mil fighting Canelo on regular HBO.
Geale got $1 mil to fight Cotto on regular HBO
Edwin Rodriguez got $1mil to fight Ward on regular HBO

They're paying their opponents, on regular HBO, close to what GGG made in his PPV debut and close to what Floyd's opponents make on his PPV. He'll make more money fighting Canelo/Cotto/Ward on PPV than he'd make fighting Floyd. Especially after delivering 97-150k on PPV. Floyd would squeeze him at the bargaining table.

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

If it doesn't matter what he says why have you been in here constantly defending what he JUST SAID?

Sometimes he's got a point, sometimes not. Like, I think you probably got some decent posts in you, though you can't tell from this thread.

Do you really need me to explain why Lara wasn't a possibility?

All those things you said about Lara could be said about Monroe Jr but Abel made the excuse that Monroe was a bigger draw than Lara that's why they choose Monroe. Lara moving from 154 to 160 without any fights at 160 would be the biggest win of GGG's career. But team GGG brushed Lara off and told us Monroe Jr was a bigger draw and better fight. Did you believe that?

Before you explain to me why Lara wasn't a possibility explain to me if you work for GGG and know more than Sanchez. If you don't work for GGG your words don't trump Sanchez, GGG's trainer, saying it's not a possibility because Monroe is a bigger draw than Lara.
