Comments Thread For: HBO Exec on The Rise of Golovkin, Securing Top Opponents

[Progrssive_Jedi]

GGG has built up a very small, load and vocal core fanbase. Its about mostly made up of former P@ct@rds. They're what I like to call casual fight fan, but hardcore GGG fans. And yes, they have no interest in seeing him fight Lara.

Bs, most would love to see Lara come up to fight GGG. But most know that it's Haymon/HBO, it's not hapoen.

I'd love to see your comments about Lara's size after GGG skunked him. It'd make my day.

And beating a B class paper beltholder like Billy Joe and a Canelo, who's never even beaten a legitimate middleweight isn't gonna enhance anything.

And this is why your not promoting boxing to the level K2 has. Because you believe that most people think like this.

Time to grow some balls and find acceptable competition. If his people (and HBO) have to make peace with Haymon, that's what they should try and do.

Or, Ward. That one should be easy to make at 168.

Ward isn't making 168 fights for a reason. He can't. Last fight was at 173, against a 168er. And it's not as if Ward has been any more active with tune ups.

..it is time to move on..if he wanted to be great he would have said i will beat your at butt at 155 canelo no problem..

hw division will mkae us forget them really quick..they will be undercard fighters

Wow, for one, the HW division isn't making anyone forget the great fights that can be made in lower divisions.

Two, GGG has already said, the weight of the Canelo us business decision, it doesn't matter to him. I'm sure not even Canelo really enjoys 155.

GGG will tko Canelo at 157. If Canelo has the stones to try.

manny and floyd went up 5 plus classes and get hell for not going up one more while GGG gets a pass on not even letting jr mw who are ranked high get in the ring with him...F all that ish

The only thing stopping the so called great talent at JRMW--none of who have fought anyone in the top of their division--is the fact they are with Haymon.

Lara, us he so great because of what, he did well against Canelo. Angulo.

Yet GGG destroys Canelo. He make Lara look silly. And you'll come with another bs excuse.

Pacquaio is not fighting Canelo, plain and simple that's not happening. I'll even bet money on the chances of that being zero. Lemieux had less of a following than Angulo, at least Angulo had some history of being in competitive fights, Lemieux was virtually unknown to casuals and after five minutes on this website and most other forums would not have been motivated to buy a ppv bough featuring him. It is what it is we'll just disagree on this too i'm cool with that.

You're missing his point. Canelo has a huge casual fan following. That's how he was able to get away with fighting Kirkland and people actually thought it was a good fight. Casuals didn't know Kirkland is mentally unstable and was coming off a long layoff. He packed minute maid park and got 2 mil viewers! If he chooses to drop the belt and fight Bradley do you think casuals know the politics behind that! No. Ask they'll know is that Canelo is fighting there guy that beat Pacquiao and that's good enough for them. Roman Gonzalez is p4p according to hardcore fans. Casual fans wouldn't even recognize him if they stood next to him. They'd probably tell him Trump is gonna deport him.

If that's your position on the subject I have no option but be respectful and accept that for what it is. I think making Canelo appear the chump by not fighting him will speak volumes but maybe i'm looking at this from another perspective. Degale I don't think has anything for Golovkin either but again that's just my opinion.

speak volumes how? canelo can do cotto 2: huge numbers...lara2 well respected..andrade, charlo, man the list just goes on and on for guys he can fight...he does not need ggg for legacy or respect that is just how deep at 154 division is and all guys are moving up to fight him if he says so..they wont be like GGG and not listen to what the aside has to say..
and tghe sad thing is i thnk ggg would murder him at 155..ggg is just a diva and wont do it..i cant rock with him anymore im sick of it..everytime he gets a fight coming his way he pulls some dumb stuff like his team is ******ed

bro i try not to even reply to you anymore..u dont carea bout the big competivie fights being made at any cost...all u want is to see ggg stay undefeated and looking like a boogey man..u want that to be his legacy..if that is the case me and you have nothing to talk about..

155 is where the place should happen he is B side by a long shot and boxing is business..get with it or go win the fight and change it..is it not as simple as that?

[tiliheels]

my problem with GGG is that when someobody of note has something to say even remotely close to sounding like fighting words...HE DOESNT CALL ANY OF THEIR BLUFFS
CANELO 155 OR NOTHING...ggg "anything from 154-168"...NOW HE SAYS NO 155
WARD "I'LL FIGHT YOU"....GGG "154-168"....NOW HE SAYS 164 OR NOTHING..AND STARTS ACTING ALL DIVA'ISH ABOUT MONEY JUST TO DO 90K PPV'S AND GET A TOP GUYS AT HBO FIRED LOL

LARA "I'LL FIGHT YOU"....GGG"WILLIE MONROE IS AB IGGER STAR"


I JUST CANT DO IT NO MORE IM LOSING INTEREST

I'm on record saying that stylistically, I think Lara is perfect for GGG. So GGG beating him to a pulp is what I'd fully expect. But the difference between you and I is that expecting him to do it isn't on parallel with actually doing it in the ring. If you'd take GGG's d1ck outta your mouth occassionally. You'd see that most of his "haters" respect his talent and simply wanna see him do it against better competition than he's done it against so far.

[tiliheels]

GGG has my respect when it comes to some ppl and then when it comes to others he's the diva/ducker/bS'er
i respect that he wants billy's belt and i cant believe billy wont fight, but then again i know billy is not that good...so wat im saying is when it comes to guys he knows he can beat he super hungry to get them in the ring..
but when it comes to the fights i wouldnt miss for the much of anything its always some fine print that we have to read over first

probably should hav enever signed his life over to HBO..thats the reason he has no big fights imo..i dont favor any fighter having a long term deal unless he's just bring in so much money that other networks have no choice but to get in on it

I don't think so at all. There are levels to this thing. If your boy really believes that, he should accept all of Canelo's conditions and let's see the fight.

I'm not in favor of catchtweights, but that's what he'll have to do if he wants the fight. You guys all say he's a small middleweight (even smaller than Canelo). Well, it's time to prove it.

[tiliheels]

he could have had ward, degale, and jack on his resume right now..
all have been more impressive than canelo imo..
they are fighting ppl their size and not washed up former 140lbers so i respect them more...
ggg doesnt want a legacy like they claim..he just wans to sit around and get paid to fight ppl who cant beat him just like everyone else
BOXING IS DEAD

AMEN TO THAT..IF YOU ARE NOT A DIVA THE ONLY WAY TO RID BOXING OF DIVA'S IS TO BEAT THEIR DIVA BUTTS AT W/E TURN..

ggg fans have to stop protecting him and let him be great..he and his team are only repeating and living off of their words bc they know that is enoughto make 2 million per fight even vs bums
