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

[Hype job]

Golovkin would have DeGale pulling a Kermit Cintron jump through the ropes

loooooooooooooooool

Ward would need zero tuneups to beat GGG. All he needs is GGG to grow a pair!

I have a good feeling GGG wants DeGale at a CW so he can still use can't make 168 excuse. He fights DeGale at 168 and win or lose against Kov the next best fight for Ward would be GGG.

Pay 'em then! GGG needs a quality opponent in 2016! He's starting to look like a hype job. I know it's not all his fault, but big fights are happening all around him, yet he's never part of one! I just hope he drops to 155 and fights Canelo in 2016!

Both of them? $5million each and Golovkin gets paid in peanuts?

He wants relevant opponents, but he's a pro boxer, not a registered charity!

Degale is with Haymon so I don't understand how that's easier to make?

I thought Golovkin's people didn't do business with Haymon or has that been resolved now?

Loeffler has never had a problem with Haymon, but HBO did. Wade is a Haymon fighter though, so maybe that's been ironed out now.

??? Ward just beat a guy who would make GGG top #3 best opponents list. I wouldn't be calling someone out when my favorite fighters fought 99% against part time Walmart stock boys.

Now that's just bullshit.

Barrera was on the same level at LHW as Dominic is at MW ... not ranked in the top 20 by any independant rating organisation, but mando for a title shot because higher ranked fighters didn't want the job.

Wade is a Haymon fighter doe.

That's why I don't understand why Lara and Decubas just prefer to tweet. If you're a Haymon fighter you just don't tweet. You talk to Haymon directly and let him do the hocus pocus. Unless you're just blowing smoke

I like the DeGale fight hopefully they can make it eventually.

He would not had to give up his mando. Show me where the WBC said he would lose his mando & don't show me their rule book because they broke their rules to give him the interim belt. The WBC rules are flexible. He hasn't had his shot at the belt even though he's been the mandatory since 2014.'Don't tell me about WBC rules

cmon man, you know better than that. Canelo-Khan is happening within 90 days, not 18 months down the road.

Anyone with higher than a 3rd grade education knows exactly what would have happened had GGG took the bait for the Ward offer. Sure, just the act of taking the deal wouldnt have gotten him stripped of the WBC interim title, but what WOULD have happened is that GBP would have notified the WBC that they were ready to negotiate for their mandatory, of course knowing full well that GGG was already contractually bound to the the Ward fight, would be unable to negotiate and would thus be stripped.

Stop acting like a 1st year noob.......

The contract that Golovkin signed with Cotto and Canelo was for him to fight the winner of their match next, unless BOTH parties agreed to extend the contract to allow other fights to take place first.

Anybody who thinks that either Cotto, Canelo or the WBC would have given GGG permission to sign another contract with Andre Ward, and keep the contract he had with them open, is not living in the real world!

I'll admit, this is the first time I've read a GGG "potential opponents" article and didn't completely cringe.

At some point GGG is going to have to make something happen! Pretty soon he will be irrelevant! BJS is not getting it done either! GGG needs a trilogy with Canelo or a contract with Al Haymon!

Don't tell me **** about WBC rules. They're easily broken and amended when the WBC wants. You really think the WBC would've made him lose his mando sport after they'd already broke their necks to amend their own rules by allowing him to fight for the interim? They amended their own rules with Floyd, Garcia, & JCC Jr and with this upcoming Canelo fight. Their rules mean nothing
