Comments Thread For: Saunders: I Was Offered 1.5 Million For Golovkin, Not 4 Million

[Shadoww702]

Unifying the MW division will get Golovkin into the BHF, first ballot, no doubt about that. And it will make him one of the biggest names in boxing, world-wide.

That may not translate into big HBO PPV numbers, as most American fight fans seem to be more into UFC and ethnic loyalty than boxing nowadays, but so what?

The Klit bros did pretty well for themselves without being on HBO PPV.

BS! Fans are into seeing competitive fights! And good fights! Not some guy only fighting tomato cans!!!

If I wanted to see bum fights I would go to the bar or YouTube bumfights.com

I doubt it, not if most of his titles were vacant or came by elevation.

He would need at least one world-class win, surely.

Historians only care about one thing..... who you beat, with consideration given to when/how.

They don't fall for that belt fcukery.

I guess it is somewhat comparable to Briggs' record, a ton of stoppages against nobodies. Damn Briggs could punch but he never really cracked top level, unless you consider Liakhovich elite, which I'm guessing these GGG fans would have had they been Briggs fans too.

GTards consider ALL his opponents ELITE/Future HOFamers until he beats them. And then once someone else fights them they turn back into Pumpkins and Bums.

Just look at some comments when Oscar said Canelo might fight Lemuix! They BURIED Canelo and Oscar. Soo Lemuix is an AWESOME bad @ss for GGG but F'n SUKS for Canelo???? They are a bunch of hypocrites...

Read the comments on GGG vs. Lemuix and they praise the sht out of him! I almost bought into that fight hype until I saw Vegas had him as a Buster Douglas 18-1 underdog.

Was it Sergey Kovalev who said GGG drops light heavies in sparring or maybe it was Krusher Kovalev ? I don't recall.

What chance has Saunders who went life and death with Eubanks in his 10th fight in his first fight over eight rounds not even a year ago against GGG ? It's pathetic to even want that fight as a fan, in fact it is bizarre. Who gives a toss about unifying divisions, don't we all watch boxing to see exciting match ups ? Let me guess you're a Kell Brook fan too aren't you ?

I am a Kel Brook fan. Before you start ****ting on him remember he was out for a year and nearly died after having his thigh sliced open with a machette. You can't just bounce back straight away after a set-back like that.

I'm also a BJS fan and I agree with you, he wouldn't stand much chance of winning vs GGG, yet I still want that fight to happen.

Maybe you will understand if I say I would be ashamed to turn into a British equivalent of one of those arse-hole American, Mexican or Puerto-Rican bitch fans who will tell you the world is flat and the moon is made of cheese if it helps one of their countymen or ethnic group to hold on to a world title without fighting the best man in his division?

Maybe you will understand that it would make me proud as fuck if BJS said "Fuck this **** Golovkin, if he wants it he can come and get it" ... then signed to fight GGG this summer?

Ggg fans just don't get it. I think they're afraid to see him fight anyone with a pulse. He might lose the mystic and aura that he's invincible. So they're OK with him beating tomato cans... When Sanchez says Monroe is a better fight then Lara. You know some one trying to *** you without lube or even a kiss.

Watch GGG's amatuer fight against Dirrell. He had a sht ton of problems against a true skilled southpaw boxer. Heck they went 1-1 against each other... Guess what Lara is??? A pretty good Southpaw boxer. I don't think Lara would of won. But Im sure he would of made GGG look bad in spots.

No need to do that. Andre Ward says he's going to be back in the ring soon.

Typical GGG fan statement.

I expected no less, in fact from you i expected more. Just to prove his he is HOF candidacy though right ?

With statements like that you begin sound like the poster Golovkin, tell me you're not trying to ?

[kiaba360]

Saunders doesn't sound too bright. It sounds like he has already written this off as a loss and just wants to be compensated. I am not feeling this fight based on what keeps coming out of Saunders' mouth.

This. He's defeated before he even stepped foot in the ring. It would be GGG/Geale part 2. Lee made the MW division even more complicated by losing to this clown. After Bursak, he'll most likely have a rematch with Lee or face Jacobs.

[Jewish-Reptile]

No need to do that. Andre Ward says he's going to be back in the ring soon.

Ward has decisively beaten Froch, Abe and Mikkel, in the last few years adding Dawson, Barrera and Rodriguez to that lost, which one of those is a bum or are we working on the basis they all are ?

[Irony123]

Golovkin is a light heavyweight come fight night, which division are you referring to as his ?

SMW are cruiserweights come fight night... are we talking about the standard here or just golovkin?


that being said i also want golovkin to move up up... just want it done after he unifies vs. Canelo and maybe fights Jacobs... because these two are the best fights to have at MW.
