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

[AllBoxingAD]

Penalizing Floyd?? The ****?? There is no just as easily nothing. Floyd is a 3 time 154lb champ. Period. Therefore since he's been there 3 times already, it is not out of the realm of possibility for him to fight at 154 because he's already done it. GGG has never been to 168. Floyd has bbeen a champion of 154 3 times.

I like fighters that I don't have to make excuses for, like the Punisher ext. I have the ability to call a spade a spade even if it is about a fighter I support. That's what you don't understand. When you guys support someone, they can do no wrong. Example: How the hell can a 3 time champion be too small for a weight he's a 3 time champ in?

Good question.

The answer is in the matchup.

Floyd and GGG fighting at a contracted weight of 154 wont magically make them relatively the same on fight night.

Floyd would still come in as the welterweight he really is.

GGG would still rehydrate to the middleweight he really is.

Floyd has been great enough to beat the Jr Middles even though he is reslly a welter, but asking him to beat a middleweight at his age makes no sense whatsoever.

The mistake you are making is assuming that budgets cant change regardless of opponent.

Promoters pump money into fights.

Im sorry, im not giving him pass after pass based on HBO's budget.

Except I am taking that into consideration.

I literally just said that if HBO's budget for Ward/Lara was x15 times (just an example) more than the Monroe budget, the Ward/Lara fight vs GGG would have to increase by x15 as well to make it worth their while. The Ward/GGG fight would cost much more than Lemieux/GGG but I doubt it would've generated the same increase in revenue.

Because he has yet to fight at limit and went back down to 147 afterwards, I have a question why should lil g get a shot at floyd at 154 when has never fought at that weight before to deserve the shot?

Seriously, you ask about people who haven't deserved a shot?? It's true, GGG isn't no regular killer, like Berto. My bad.

So your answer is fight night weight? I wasn't aware of it being related to any division. What weight division does fight night represent again??

[JaguaresMx]

Was willing?? What does that mean? If GGG goes to 168 and fights Chavez and or Froch, then I'd expect him to fight Ward there for sure. But since he hasn't moved to 168, has never fought there, speaking on it is a moot point.

That's a technicality.

Recall Roy Jones, just because he did something historic it doesn't mean I would expected him to fight a Klitschko.

Floyd has moved up several divisions, GGG none. So, at one point Floyd would have run into someone he could not beat who is just sitting at the division. If Floyd doesn't want to fight GGG because of the size+skill combo, then that's completely understandable. Moving up has its limits.

That's what he means by punishing the guy who dares to move up.

Can't answer the question, you lil g fans are terrible at trying to deflect again in your post you was making excuses why he shouldn't fight ward at 168 because he never fought at weight but then turn around and say since floyd is a 3 time champ at 154 he should fight lil g there yet lil g hasn't fought at that weight either so why should lil g get a shot at 3 time champ at 154 for his first fight at that weight?

If Floyd doesn't want to fight, that's great. So so and go spend money. His fans however, make up silly excuses, like Floyd is a welterweight. But conveniently leave out the fact that he's also a 3 time 154lb champ. Since when is a 3 time champ to small for that division??

[Sweet_Science2]

You just bodied me? Why? Cause you used capital letters?? You haven't really said anything substantial. You simply made up excuse for a 3 time champion fighting in said weight class. And your excuses weren't even good. LOL, at bodying.

I bodied you cause you didn't answer my fuucking questions. You want Lil g to go down to a division he has NEVER fought before at 154 in Floyd right? Why not move up to a division he has NEVER fought before at 168 and fight Ward?

Answer those fuucking questions idiot. 154 and 168 lil g has never fought at dumb fuuck. But he is brave for wanting to fight a 40 year old who never actually not made 154 on the scales ever. But should shy away from a young, strong Ward?

Shut your dumb ass up! So ask lil g to fight Ward at 168 ******

You don't have the ability to call a spade a spade. Floyd is a 3 (2) time champ at 154lb because he had the cojones to fight north of his preferable division on 3 separate occasions. It is not something that should be held against him; it is something that should be praised and the question you should be asking is why Golovkin won't go north of his division once.

Moreover, when was the last time Golovkin fought at 154lb? It's okay for him to test new waters against a smaller fighter, but moving up to 168lb is something to get squeamish about? **** outta here.

You don't have the ability to call a spade a spade. You simply think that chastising the popular, whilst giving the less popular a free pass, makes you different to all the other fanboys.

What question would that be?? You can't use Floyd is to small for 154, when in fact he's a 3 time champ there. GGG hasn't even been to 168. When he fights there, if he fights there then you can talk about Ward, But he has to go there 1st.
