The HBO Budget Crisis and What it Means

[Mitchell Kane]

Felix Trinidad, the #1 pound for pound fighter in the world, and a 3-1 favorite over Hopkins.

Pretty short list.

But yes, let's use Trinidad...Hopkins chose to stay at middleweight and fight guys moving up rather than move up in himself.

He would later do the same with DLH.

Thanks for playing.

Hopkins had to sacrifice his independence to get that fight.

And it is a short list. GGG's list is non-existent.

And again...at what point in his career did Hopkins make that sacrifice?

And at what point is Golovkin currently at in his career?

Maybe Golovkin should just wait a couple years and see if little Canelo can grow into 160.

Lol. So you're argument is that let's wait two more years to see if GGG is willing to make a sacrifice? Ok. And as it stands today, he hasn't.

I'm just using the Hopkins timeline...which you have no problems with.

Heck, if Golovkin waits a couple years Canelo will have had a lot more middleweight fights than Trinidad had when he fought in the MW tourney.

And more MW fights than DLH had when he fought Hopkins.

So...as it stands today, GGG is not willing to make any sacrifice and I definitely am not defending him or b*tching about Canelo.

I'll just refer you to the Hopkins Timeline.

But maybe in two years he will.

It worked for Hopkins...

[IMDAZED]

It worked for Hopkins...

Yeah. And maybe, just maybe, GGG will do that too.

But for now...I don't wanna hear the whiny defenses and complaints.
