Comments Thread For: Canelo Wins Big, Stays Firm on Golovkin Weight Stance

[OnePunch]

It makes him too old to carve anything even close to a decent resume.....
especially considering the fact that he will not fight a world-class opponent.

Even Kovalev will go down as a better fighter than Golovkin.

Is that so? FYI, Hopkins didnt even get the Tito fight until he was 36, and most would agree that Hops resume went up from there.

Now thats not to say that GGG will box until he's 50 like the freak Hops, but he has taken no punishment of note, does not have a style that is solely dependant on speed (ala Roy Jones), and has showed ZERO signs of slipping.

Personally I dont even think he has hit his prime yet.

In you're rush to be snarky you completely missed the point. ggg's old, and won't get the Canelo fight, or any big fight, for 2 years. By then Canelo will have size to beat him and ggg will be slower. Idiot missed the chance to make something out of his career; just another flash in the pan.

And in your rush to be snarky you decided to lie about Golovkin's age?

[kafkod]

They are all hype-jobs..... except Kovalev imho.

Not sure why he is in there.

Manny, Ronda, Golovkin = they ALL badly failed to live up to their hype.

Pac was legit, and still is..... just over-rated.

At least Manny/Ronda will take dangerous fights.

Pac > Ronda > Golovkin

I just told the other muppet I get it now.

Floyd beat Manny and retired, so now you need to find a new slick black **** to suck, and new Manny's to shit on.

It's as plain as the **** on your head. I should have got it without having to ask.

It was Ronda that threw me. I couln't figure out how she came into it.

Then I remembered - I'm talking to "men" who think like adolescent schoolgirls.

I said he's almost 35, he is. Nothing about my point changed based on him being a a year and a half away from from 35. He will still be old whenever Canelo decides to fight him. There still isn't anyone for him to fight at MW, and he still passed up his best chance to be great in fighting Ward.

[kafkod]

Because they have shty, obnoxious, fans. Kov. Not yet but once the Ex-Pac Tards, Now GGGTards. Will be jumping to Kov. onve GGG loses.

Do I really have to explain Ronda???

If somebody asked you how old you are, would you state your actual age, or tell them how old you were going to be in a year and a half's time?

If you were talking about Canelo's age, would you say he was almost 27?

As you mention Ward, would you say he was 31, or "almost the same age as Golovkin"?

I hope they can make the fight soon, Canelo and Golovkin would be a war.

Nah, it's not about the weight in this case

catchweights can be a huge *****.

a fighter who's forced to move down an extra amount of weight can find himself in big trouble if his body doesn't respond like he wants.

He'll spend more time worried about making weight and torturing himself with diets and dehydration than focusing on the fight itself. He'll waste valuable time that could be used for actual training, and when he trains, he'll be weak as ****. This will give the opponent a huge advantage come fight night. Look what happened to Chad Dawson and Geale, two guys who struggled a lot to make the cw, the guys were weakened zombies on fight night and easy prey for their opponents

GGG is levels above Canelo (and im a Canelo fan), but he's never fought below MW and he's 34, there's a big possibility the cw will affect him badly. and imo, that's what Canelo wants.


that's why cws are tricky, and should be avoided if possible

Good points regarding CW and weight cuts.

If Canelo and his team don't think that Golovkin is the best fight for them next then he can just vacate. It's no big deal, just a business decision and the titles mean very little really. He can save on sanctioning fees and step aside monies etc whilst he matures into a full 160lb-er.

First off, in my original post I was never asked how old the guy was, so your point is worthless here.

And no I wouldn't say that about Canelo because 27 isn't a round number. I would say Floyd is almost 40 though. Ward is just passed 30. You do understand how rounding works right?

[aboutfkntime]

Lol , to compare Pac with them, one of the greatest fighters in history and 2nd best after May in this generation. What you said is truly pathetic.

No kid, your post is truly pathetic..... because my post is accurate, and you did not provide any facts/opinion to confirm otherwise.

His interview with Ed Bradley on 60 minutes was very hard to sit through from the perspective of a genuine long-term boxing fan.

Because of his 8th divisional title, Pac was hyped as the greatest fighter of all time..... he could beat Mayweather easy, Duran/Hearns/Leonard..... all of them.

Well, h couldn't even beat Marquez decisively.

A terrific fighter, obviously elite, but obviously NOT the greatest of all time.

[aboutfkntime]

Name one time any of those fighters sent an offer to GGG when he was available for a fight? Ward never has. He says he has an email that he sent an offer, but doesn't show it Everyone knows GGG was finalizing the Lemieux deal. Lara talks tough on twitter, but has never had his management send an offer, nor has he even beat a worthy middleweight. Cotto *****ed out. Canelo will ***** out too.

Ward
Lara
Cotto
Canelo

And you know it kid
