Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: Until Canelo Decides, It's Hard To Speculate

[HeroBando]

Again dummy, Oscar was a MW champ, and he asked for a "much older" MW champion to accept the catch-weight! Not only did the older MW champ accept the challenge, he came in @ 156, and beat Oscar's azz! That's what champions do! If you're scared for GGG, that he might not be on the same level as B-Hop, then I understand! If you're scared, just say your scared!

157 is a good faith CW from former SFW champ, current MW Wbo paper champ. 155 is bad faith for lineal MW champ who's 175 fight night and is mandated to face the other champ. It's truly shameful, never done before, and you've decided to defend this over many long posts

Do you think GGG would be weight drained at 155 pounds?

No I don't, but then he's never weighed that low as a professional.

GGG is an anomaly in that he's never weighed less than 158.5 lbs and never weighed more than 161.25 lbs. I don't think there's been a professional fighter with over a dozen fights who has ranged within 3lbs over their entire career.


But to the topic, I think team Golovkin saying no to 155lbs is a possible negotiation tactic. It's not easy for Alvarez to make that weight, and he might end up more hurt by it than Golovkin.

HeroBando is the Johnny Cochran of the GGG defense team




Because if GGG's weight doesn't fit, you must acquit

Hypothetically speaking, would you say it's pointless for Mayweather to have ever fought GGG at 154?

I mean if GGG would possibly be drained at 155, imagine where he'd be at 154?

You've clearly forgot what this conversation stems from.

The whole point of this conversation is about legacy and challenges and not being afraid to place yourself at a disadvantage leading into a fight.

And Ward has a deep resume. Who's GGG's "Froch, Dawson, Abraham, Kessler, Rodriguez, Kovalev," equivalent? Adama, Monroe, Rubio and Ouma?

You can't place Ward in the same category of being afraid to place himself at a disadvantage and chase challenges because what do you think he's doing when he's agreed to face Kovalev in November?

Don't worry about bonifide greats. Your main concern should be with GGG and why he refuses to accept one fight in which he heads into the fight with a disadvantage.

Hagler, Hopkins, Napoles, Mayweather, Pac, RJJ, Wright, ect all did it. Why can't GGG do it once?

LMFAO! This mug is including Kovalev in Ward's resume now!

That is the ultimate fanboy foolery. All the Andre has to do is talk about fighting somebody and that's it ... another historic win! He's putting li'l g and his fans to shame, etc etc ..

Go read the newest thread. GGG says he would fight Floyd "in a heartbeat!" So suddenly, going to 154 (yes everyone knows that would be the weight) wouldn't be that hard? He wouldn't be drained, etc.? Little Mayweather didn't have a problem with the big, bad, 175lb. man you're talking about. Is Little G afraid of those 175lbs.? Is that what you're telling me?

That's what weight stips are for, to bridge the weight gap between fighters from different weight divisions. Not for mandos and 3 belt + lineal unifications. Gtfo

Nah, he weighed 157 a couple of fights back.

1)
* Canelo has never fought A middleweight
* Canelo has never fought AT middleweight

2)
YOUR opinion of what cw's should be used for, will not affect Canelo

And BTW, you should have thought of that before you spent 5 years defending manny-weight.
