Comments Thread For: Holyfield Tabs Golovkin as The Number One P4P Fighter

[OnePunch]

There are many fighters out there who say "ok lets do it" when any fight is presented and are not "afraid" of anyone..... That doesnt make them P4P worthy.... TripleGay has said yes to many bums but when Ward knocked on the door he didnt say "ok lets do it".... Pound 4 Pound to a fighter that has been fighting bums in the SAME division for 9 years and refuses to challenge better fighters in higher weight divisions is not worthy of P4P recognition.


TripleGay has not earned his status YET. All hype and conspiracies lolol

Except Ward didnt actually want the door opened. He wanted GGG to abandon the opportunity to unify against the Cotto-Canelo winner, for the chance to fight Ward, "sometime next year", at a 50-50 split, after Ward finishes his "tune-up tour"

Gee, what a great offer. Or not........


But like Ward says, "whats the hurry?" right? lol

[OnePunch]

You don't get credit for "what ifs", actually stepping into the ring and fighting gets you the kudos. See watch how easy this is..."Bradley will fight and beat anyone from 147-160"

You saying this or that is a fact doesn't make it so, it's just an opinion. But you knew that right?

p4p lists are ENTIRELY "what ifs", genius........

Huh.....when did he stipulate that?

[Gary Coleman]

How in the hell can Golovkin possibly be above Kovalev. There is no damn way! Hype does not equal substance.

[comanick]

I'll agree that the #1 P4P is a huge stretch. Right now I honestly don't feel like anyone deserves it too much.

I agree. When I look at the p4p list these days i just say "meh".

[OnePunch]

In the end, you will be judge of their resume and skill in relation to other fighters. Whether they make your p4p list is up to you. I am just saying, based on my premise of traversing weight classes, they should be not be excluded.

so what do you rate higher, a fighter completely dominating EVERYONE within a single division, or a fighter bouncing between several divisions, picking the softest touch in each division along the way?

[OnePunch]

Huh.....when did he stipulate that?

Wards offer was "1 interim fight, and then they meet in 2016". Since GGG had already signed for the Lemieux fight, that would have been his "1 interim fight"

So not only would GGG have given up his shot at the Cotto-Canelo winner, he also would likely have ended up being stripped of the IBF belt too because its doubtful he would have been able to do his mando in time........


It was a suckers deal, and Roc knew full well K2 would tell them to pound sand......

Megas, stop chasing that tumblweed, its distracting you from the debate u started

What is your source for that?

[OnePunch]

What is your source for that?

it was well publicized at the time. Do you ever do your own research on anything, or is your response to everything always "source or it never happened"?


Quit being so lazy.........

heres the relevant part.......

"Loeffler said the email from an official of Ward’s promoter, Roc Nation Sports, extends a 50/50 purse-split offer to fight in 2016 after each fighter took one fight earlier in the year."
