Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Trainer: Prime Roy Jones, Toney Would School Golovkin!

[therealpugilist]

If everyone's afraid of him and hiding from him as you say, then move the **** up or down for better challenges. What's the point of collecting vacated, garbage belts?

but he the champ doe....bwahahahaha....belts only matter when the fighters make them matter and winning vacant belts, being elevated wont get you anywhere legacy-wise

Golovkin is very comfortable at MW. He could easily stay there for the rest of his career. The point of unification is that anyone at MW or coming up from JMW will have to go through GGG. There will be no ducking. This plan has been in place for GGG since the Rubio fight. K2 is heavily invested in this plan, and they've been consistently clear about it. Fights outside of MW would only be for big $$$/PPV...Froch, Chavez JR, etc..

That said, it appears forces are conspiring to keep the MW unification fights from happening, or at least delay them as long as possible. If Golovkin was five or six years younger, it'd be a decent strategy. As of right now, I'd give it a year to see if Canelo and Saunders happen. If not, I'd say the heck with the belts.

Roy jones would outbox him 9-3 , 10-2 type of fight. Cant beleive some ppl are saying GGG stands a chance against prime roy. Based off of what? beating rosado ,martin murray and lemieux?

it goes both ways, how can people say that Roy would school GGG, they know how good Roy was but we still need to find out how good GGG is. The guy doesn't lose rounds, is the 29% of punchs Monroe landed without winning a round a good indicator? i don't think so.

Roy is an ATG. GGG hasnt beat anyone of note.

Exactly my point. His team has made me hate the word "mandatory." Mandatory this, mandatory that. Prove yourself against worthy opponents or GTFO.

In my opinion, the following won't raise his resume a bit either: Saunders, Lee, Eubank, Jacobs, etc. They are a waste of time, although I wouldn't mind seeing him against Lara or, at minimum, Jacobs. Canelo fight will NEVER happen unless it's on Canelo's terms.

Time to develop a fresh outlook and get out of the rut of fighting useless opponents. Fight Ward, DeGale, the Dirrells, even Kovalev (since he beat him in sparring). He can also go to 154 (as he said he could) and clean that division up.

Othewise, he'll always remain an unproven HBO and media hypejob.

GGG beats anyone from 154-168. He had Kovalev running scared

no wait, he is a small tiny MW who could fight at 130 (that's how they make it seem, his head is 100 lbs by itself). He doesn't belong at 168.

Whatever, GGG is still hunting Canelo and Cotto.

Losing me as a fan bad. He's not chasing greatness. He is settling. Kovalev sends him to sleep. Easy money. That jab and power, GGG doesn't go 6

according to his fans, he is too small for 168. But Cotto was right for 160! and Floyd should fight him! They're the "right" size (translation: way smaller and undersized)

[Luilun]

[QUOTE=megas30;16432550]Stop talking nonsense. Floyd is a throw back fighter. You can have all the power in the world, but if you are not hitting anything, it does you no good. Example, Tua vs Lewis. Tua is mighty powerful but hit zip! Did he win the fight?

These fighters y'all keep mentioning have dubious losses to low caliber fighters. Cans are easy to knock out, because they don't come to win, but to collect a paycheck. Sometimes you don't need to hit a can hard for him to go down. He just feel like he has his check already.

Do you really think Rubio came to win? Rubio was paid to make GGG look good. Monroe said after the fight they were pushing him to speak on triple GGG power, which tells me Triple G is being highly marketed. Been watching boxing since the mid 80s.[
Yawn ! your writing is like Floyds boxing it puts you to sleep

[MMegatron]

what total rubbish

any fighter from the early 80's would get killed by ggg and probably many other modern boxers just by the fact that they're training would be scientifically much better.

yeah hagler beat hearns and loads of other greats so he was the best then, but theres no way he beats ggg. he'd look like an amateur in that fight

mike tyson agrees. he basically flat out said he'd have no chance with any modern heavyweight

i am not arguing that, i just saying that we haven't seen enough of GGG to know how easy it will be to beat him. GGG might not have the speed of Roy Jones but he has crazy timing and rhythm
