Comments Thread For: Sanchez: Golovkin Will Go Anywhere To Face Carl Froch!

[SchoolTheseCats]

When you kO a string of top ten fighters that is a special ability - name me one other fighter doing that - maybe Krusher? He passes the eye test. His resume is maybe at 6 or 7/10. The hype is at 10/10. Ergo hype far exceeds resume or proven ability - whatever you want to call it.

Top ten in weakest division that's lineal was taken by a 154lber from a cripple and haven't fought at limit and is hanging on by a guy that refuses to fight at 160 made his own division of 155 lol come on bro

What were you saying before about "twisting figures"? That guy outright lied.

Honey I Shrunk The Kids pulled more viewers than GGG-Murray on Channel 5 that week

To be fair, it is a classic.

UK number was 0.74 million, as you said.

It was also watched live by 938k live on HBO, 1.4million including the evening replay.

Now remind us how many watched your new hero on BET?

his team do GGG no favors

I didn't lie. I pulled it from an article. I didn't fact check it, because I didn't think it would be a big deal regardless.

There was two showings for the fight (verify that for Britain, I don't know). They could have combined both showings for it (since you care so much, go verify it again). If not, oh well. 740,000 viewers from one country.

Or maybe it was grossly exaggerated? Whatever the case, Golovkin is not even a British fighter and the marketing for that event ******. What's your point? We know you hate Golovkin. We know you call Golovkin a bum.

Good for you.

Golovkin was facing a British fighter on free UK television and couldn't even outdraw a programme called "Britain's Biggest Primary School".

Golovkin got mugged off by a bunch of 5-11 year olds

I never called Golovkin a bum. Why get emotional? I'm just saying that no one knows who he is in the UK.

Froch is retired after a great career so he should leave him alone. He makes his great boxer GGG look bad by saying he would go to 168 for Froch but not for Ward. GGG should continue doing what he is doing. He should stay at 160 and knock out the best middleweights who will fight him.

I think more people know Golovkin than Murray in the UK, tbh.

lil ggg is a ***** how your begging a fighter who is retired to fight when you have the best fighter in the world andre ward ready to kick your ass

I can see why people are jumping on Sanchez's case, but I think you're all reading too much into it. Sanchez' comments are simply because there were a couple of articles last week saying that Froch asked his promoter about Golovkin.

I don't think anyone is saying Golovkin will drop everything to fight Froch right now, it was just a general statement - 'Froch is popular, hell yeah we'll fight him!'

Golovkin can't help all of that. He would have been lineal if Martinez would have taken the fight. He's fought who he could in the division and the resulting resume is less than satisfactory - but again that his not his fault.

I'd like him to have fought Lara but he wouldn't get any credit for winning just hate for dragging up a SWW.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

has there ever been an article since the Wembley fight that doesn't mention the 80,000 fans?
