Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: DeGale May Be Easier To Make Than Brook

[HeroBando]

Golovkin agrees to let Canelo fight Khan May. Canelo agrees to let Golovkin fight Ward in whatever time is best for them. No purse bid is called due to mutual beneficial agreement. What in the world is so complicated that it's so hard for you to understand?

Canelo was never going to fight Golovkin after Cotto. I knew that. You knew that. K2 knew that. Roc Nation knew that. Canelo would have an interim fight regardless. Zero scheduling conflicts.

If for some miracle Canelo decided to fight Golovkin in May (which wasn't going to happen unless you're lying to yourself), Ward fight is cancelled. Put that in the Ward-GGG contract. Simple as that.

Ok fair enough, but what's the point of signing anything a year ahead with that many contingencies? Training camp injuries to any of them? That offer was months before Canelo even signed to fight Cotto. And youre assuming a ton of flexibility on Wards side, most optimistic. Im sure he'd have no problem sitting tight another 9 months if the mando negotiations stall due to anyone involved, and come March it's infeasible to fight Ward first, then Canelo in Sept. But then he gets his 50/50 post Canelo lol. And don't kid yourself, as much as they like Ggg, the Wbc likes Canelo more, and they got themselves in this situation way before Canelo was in play for that belt.

No need to keep going, read the article first. Andrade said he wants GGG on Ppv in 3 years lol. Laras manager admitted they never even called Loeffler to try to make the fight, despite getting called out on it publicly by Loeffler. That's no way to chase a fight

You say that's know way to chase a fight but it ain't no different than what GGG and his team did when calling out Ward. Ward confronts Loeffler in public and he play's dumb and blames it on Abel Sanchez. Can't be double standards.

Andrade?
charlo?
Williams?
lara?

any of those dudes would do

I'm referring to the skill level among UK fighters between 154-168, very limited.

Ward still needs like 5 tunes up doe

After his 2 yrs out with surgery on top of that then moving up a division to fight the scariest fighter out there , off course he needs tune ups its not easy at this level to get yourself sharp as a razor .

You boys really do need to get into a gym and maybe have a few amateur bouts or something to have some form of understanding off pro boxing and what it takes at the highest level , you take it sooooooooooo for granted , its not a fight down the park and thats what you dont fathom .

There's no distinguishable difference. Both have the exact same privileges because they both have to agree to any agreement to step aside. There's theoretically no champ privilege to avoid a mandatory anymore than there is a mandatory privilege to avoid a champion. Maybe if there's some injury involved, but that would be completely irrelevant to the conversation.



Canelo had to agree in January to fight in late March/early April or to step aside. If Canelo says he's ready to fight in May instead of April, they could fight in May, and they could still make it not interfere with a Ward fight at all. Ward is okay waiting for a year for Kovalev. You'll think he'll care about an extra couple months for Golovkin? Put that **** in that contract the Ward-Golovkin fight date is dependent on what Canelo decides. Ward-Golovkin would either happens mid year, or after Canelo-GGG. The most likely scenario would have been Golvokin-Ward midyear, and then Canelo-GGG at the end of the year. Pretty much everyone knew from the start that if GGG-Canelo was going to happen at all, it would have happened at the end of the year anyway.

If you mean after Canelo will renegade on the step aside contract after the Khan fight in May, and tries the to force a purse bid, then you have a lawsuit on your hands. If you believe Canelo is that desperate to avoid Golovkin to break a legally binding contract, then you must believe Canelo-Golvokin will never happen in the first place, so I don't understand why we're even still having this conversation.

Canelo going renegade breaking that contract seems unlikely though because the WBC would have to have given the blessing back in January. And they would have done it because it seems WBC wants to make GGG-Canelo as badly as anyone.

Where did you miss the part that golovkin wants no part of Ward? Ward doesn't need golovkin, triple V missed that chance. If Ward beats Kovalev, he will be put at the top of the p4p spot and will start making bigger paydays.

Actually, if Ward wins, who wants to bet triple V will suddenly be ready to fight Ward at 168? Lol
