Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach Speaks on Billy Joe Saunders, Tureano Johnson

[Eastcoast]

2016 is going to suck.
Golovkin won't get a fight with either Saunders or Alvarez & Kovalev won't get a fight with either Stevenson or Ward. I hope K2 have contingency plans in the works for May 31st when Alvarez says he'll be fighting Cotto again or Margarito. Get Golovkin back in the ring in July, September, and December. Maybe Lee, Korobov, and Jacobs or N'Dam.

Then why doesn't GGG step out of the comfort zone? He's had some pretty easy fights lately.

Just last year GGG fought a nobody x100 worse than Berto in Osma bin Dama and the year before against No sh@to... 34 years old and he's chasing ex-WW's??? I can honestly say for being the champion over 5 years he has one of the piss poor resume's ever! He should of sprinkled at LEAST 1-2 REAL challenges in their? But I know he wanted Floyd, Cotto, Pac, and new flavor of the month Canelo.

Where and when was to happen this? Where is Ward at right now?

According to Sanchez, if Ward aint the best in the world, it is only because of inactivity..... oh, when discussing a potential fight with Barrera, that is.

But when discussing him for Golovkin, Ward is irrelevant and a nobody

That statement by Loeffler was him passing on what an HBO representitive had told both Golovkin and Ward at their "Are you ready to fight?" meeting.

They were told that there wasn't enough interest in a possible match-up at that time for it to be PPV, and without PPV, the money to fund the fight wasn't there.

That was what Loeffler was talking about when he said it didn't make financial sense.

Aah ok ^^

So, how did that 164lb catchweight demand guarantee more money ?

Because it got shut of a bloke who couldn't draw flies to shit but wanted a 50/50 split of a purse he'd done nothing whatsoever to earn or deserve.

nobody can touch triple G at this weight, if a billy joe fights happens then first i would say bj has balls but i dont see him getting clear of the first round.
this fellah has "super punch powers" and will clean out anybody he catches.
it wont be hard to find saunders and i believe he will be too brave for his own good....and safety. now way, absolutely no chance.

[turnedup]

Ward is in another weight division....I will bet he can't even get down to 168 anymore....too much layoff time....Ward couldn't even half fill his own home town arena against 'Tomato Can Smith', who by the way, buckled Ward's knees in the sixth round....and Smith had lost his two previous fights....Wards day has come and gone....

I agree that with the doubt Ward can't make 168.

I hope BJS loses against one of his tune ups. He has summed up everything that is wrong with boxing during these negotiations.
