Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: If No Canelo, Saunders - Hopkins Possible

[Eastcoast]

If no Canelo or Saunders, go with Jacobs, Quillin, Lara, DeGale, Jack, Rameriz, or Korobov, but no Hopkins. Dude's 51 years old and all he does is hit & clinch.

If no fight with Saunders and Canelo then you should be looking to line him up with Jack/Chevez, DeGale, Abraham or currently now Sturm that is the only ones that are worth the effort its too bad that pathetic ginger little ***** wants to hide away with his belt absolute coward picking on people who aren't as big or at the same weight as him.

Golovkin vs Danny Jacobs is better than both.

That is the fight that needs to be made if Nelo bushes out. BHOP is a living legend but I think he would end up gettig hurt against GGG at 168 and no one wants to see that.

If Wade can fight GGG, then Hymen should allow Jacobs to face him as well. I think Jacobs has the power to get GGG's attention and he is a good boxer. Have a feeling he will duck as well though....none of those boys want the GGG hurt train.

I smell some K2/Golden Boy ****ery coming up.

GGG is now eyeing Sturm at 168

So let me get this straight. GGG didn't want to move up to fight a prime Andre Ward yet would be willing to fight the ageless 51 year old Bernard Hopkins at super middleweight?

GGG and his team give Canelo hell about the weight agreement to fight Canelo at 155 yet would jump at the chance to fight Money May at 154?

GGG team continues to talk out of both sides of their mouths. I am a huge fan of GGG and I think he is the best Middleweight in the world. Can't wait till Canelo and GGG share the ring together.

But his team needs to be called out more for their logic as well. His team is acting like he's a major crossover superstar but he's not at that level yet.

Nobody wants to see that. B-Hop shouldn't even be an option. The problem is that B-Hop actually wants the fight, so he'll probably get it if Canelo/Saunders/Jacobs fall through.

That's why they would fight B-Hop: to increase GGG's mass appeal. B-Hop is a legend at this point, and he tends to do good HBO ratings. Eventhough I don't want it to happen, I would actually watch to see if B-Hop manages to survive all 12 rounds. It's just a bad match-up.

It's just makes no sense what so ever and is very hypocritical on GGG's part. While Bernard is a legend and does very well ratings wise it makes no sense from a boxing perspective. Just saying.

Not to mention I don't want to see what happened to Roy Jones Jr. happen to Bernard Hopkins. Which would be a high probability. Kovalev let Hopkins make it 12 rounds if it was any other guy he would have been more ruthless and would have ended that fight in the mid rounds. He showed B-Hop a lot of respect. Not sure GGG would allow that to happen.

The only way I'd be alright with a B-Hop fight is if GGG went all the way up to LHW. Don't make the old man move down, have some respect for your elders lol

Glad to see more people realizing that Loeffler is incompetent.
