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

[HeroBando]

Rather than get into a back and forth, let me sum up. My whole point is simple: GGG has the least leverage of the guys he wants to fight (and I repeat, two guys who have never fought at 160), and yet his team seems to not get it. When you're on GGG's position, you give like Floyd did with Oscar, or Canelo with Floyd.

When he is ready to do that, he will likely earn the status. But he is not going to be the first C-side in history to all of a sudden make demands. You do that, you don't fight. You fight Monroe.

I can't wait for GGG's team to get it and see his real greatness when he fights boxers he is not expected to beat. I am genuinely excited to see him do that rather than wait out Cotto and Canelo, who he'll likely beat up.

His mando status is his leverage. How can you support a 3 MW belt + lineal unification at 155? It's disgusting. I get it, you're concerned for Canelo's health and want GGG to leave him alone. If Canelo vacates as he should, he'll be left alone (by GGG, though not sure about Canelo's fanbase).

Bush is handling his ****!

Lil g biggest protecter quoting 20 ppl have finally showed up, did barcham decide to come back yet bush needs help his defense of lil g ain't holding up

Bush has be knocking you all around for a few hours now.

He's done gone Matrix on you already.

Again, you like to imagine crap. It's ok for this or that, but not that or this. If and when GGG goes to 168, then you can talk Ward. Never been there, therefore it does not apply. He did say he'd go down for Floyd. Kinda the guy everyone wants a piece of. But not everyone is as lucky as Berto. Oops. The comparison doesn't apply. Floyd is still a 3 time 154lb champ. GGG has never been to 168 That's fact. Everything else is a matter of opinion.

Ward can't make no 168, that's why he is fighting SMW at 175.

Get ready for LHW my ass! You don't get ready for LHW by fight Unranked SMW.

What has lil g done to deserve a shot at 154 titles over the other guys in that division? He never fought there like he never fought at 168 but that's a lie I believe he has had two fights over the 160which would be smw, but I wanna know why do he get to get a shot at the "3 time 154 champ" as you keep saying when he never fought there before? Because he said he will go down to 154 for floyd he should get fight there? If that's case he said he will go up to 168 for froch and Chavez so should be same for ward right?

Actually, GGG doesn't deserve the Floyd fight any more than Canelo did, Etc. Thurman does!

However, then apply that same logic to Lara and Ward!

[AllBoxingAD]

You mean like if GGG fought Ward, he'd be two weight classes above GGG?

Ward hasn't step in the ring at 168 since November 2013.

But still, so many truckers love to act like GGG isn't **** unless he fights Ward tomorrow.

Although when Ward finally got some balls, he still wanted it to be a year and have later.

Not the same because GGG is a career MW while Ward isnt a career LHW, he is moving up there since that is where the next real challenge is. Lets not pretend that Ward actually is the same size as Kovalev and Stevenson...

However, let me be clear. Im not saying GGG aint ****, Im saying his resume is. im saying i wanna find out how great he truly is. My goals dont align with his, Im just a fan and I dont care to see him dominate a trash, talentless MW division. i really dont. Im saying the challenge that would reveal his true prowess would have been Ward, so thats the fight I wanted to see.

Ok whatever. It's not worth it when the bigger B sider wants 50/50 and no weight concession. Usually in those situation such guys concede both, a much smaller purse and a CW.

So lil g who you bragged about wanted Froch at 168 was challenging himself right? But fighting Ward at that same weight now needs 164? Wards whoops his ass end of story.

[Bushbaby]

i think your missing the point why would lil g first fight at a weight class he never fought at be against Floyd but yet that same logic not applied to ward at 168?

No, I'm really not missing the point. The same logic can apply both ways. GGG beats Floyd and Ward beats GGG. That's what happens in both fights.

[Sweet_Science2]

Yeah, you got your foot somewhere alright. maybe that's why you're so full of $#!t. Clogging yourself up huh? You must be flexible. Anyway, is Floyd the number 1 guy at 154, like you said? I guess there wouldn't be a problem then, right? As far as all the others who campaign at 154, when Floyd moved up, didn't he bypass them?? That's what I thought. If I'm a **** boy, I service women. Better than you, who obviously takes c*ck.

Nothing but a biitch like I thought you fuucking idiot. When Floyd fought De La Hoya that was the biggest fight broke records. Cotto was the best at 154 when Floyd fought him. And when Floyd and Canelo fought EVERYBODY said he would duck Canelo because he was the #1 guy at that division. But you DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION IDIOT.

I said why should lil g fight Floyd at a division he has NEVER fought at? In the same breath your dumb ass said lil g has never fought at 168! Your ***ggot ass said that. Take lil g's **** out your mouth ***ggot!

Lil g has NEVER fought at 154 or 168 period. You want him to fight the smaller guy but not the bigger guy. Go jump off a cliff and do the world a great service ***ggot.

[HeroBando]

So lil g who you bragged about wanted Froch at 168 was challenging himself right? But fighting Ward at that same weight now needs 164? Wards whoops his ass end of story.

You'd hope Froch would be a challenge, since it's Ward's best win and he didn't have to go up in weight for it, or travel to the UK. Heck he won't even fight Yunieski in his second fight going up in weight.

[SchoolTheseCats]

No, I'm really not missing the point. The same logic can apply both ways. GGG beats Floyd and Ward beats GGG. That's what happens in both fights.

I actually think floyd does a canelo performance against weight drained lil g while being healthy and fighting ward would be a much better fight

No, the question your bull**** presents is why fighters have it held against them when they take on tests other fighters are unwilling to take. What you're doing is faulting Mayweather for fighting outside of his comfort zone on 3 different occasions. Factually, Mayweather is a welterweight that tested himself at Jr. Middleweight on 3 separate occasions.

If you are going to chastise Mayweather, for not taking a fourth fight in a weight class north of where he's most comfortable, it stands to reason that you should chastise Golovkin for not moving up once.

Ultimately, what this boils down to is you giving Golovkin a free pass because he has not tested himself.

I also noticed that you dodged my question. How many times has Golovkin fought at 154lb?

[AllBoxingAD]

The official weight matters. And Floyd doesn't give fight night weights. Are you part of his team? How do you know how much he weights??

We have been over this whole weight thing with Floyd on this board.

A bunch of times.

You werent lying when you said you werent "aware".
