Comments Thread For: Is Gennady Golovkin's Future Only Now Emerging?

[SteveM]

There should be more clamor for actual name mws to fight Golovkin.
Canelo - say no more
Jacobs - most obvious capable challenger
Quillen - if he isn't retired
Eubank
Saunders -
Russian guy whose name I forgot - up and comer
N'Dam - ok dodgy chin but he is a frickin jack'n-a-box that won't stay down

"Alvarez might be the test, but if not, who is?" That's why GGG needs to fight Alvarez in 2016, and then hope for a rematch in 2017. If he wins the 1st @ 155, he can demand the 2nd @ 160. But if doesn't fight Canelo, then who? Saunders? GTFOH!

Jacobs clearly

[fanofslug]

Yes, he's finally starting to emerge at 34. By the time he's 40 he'll start to get some recognition and by 50, hopefully, his career will be in full swing.

Spence is a big welterweight who could easy travel beyond 154...2 fights ago he weighed over 156lb would you believe ...I wouldn't fancy canelo getting in the ring with this kid....he's quick has power and he has that nasty streak you need to become that bit more special....canelo is being protected and will lose as soon as he actually fights a live wire...spence would beat him and so will golovkin

Caenlo is being protected? He's YOUNGER then Spence you realize that right? Yet he's already fought Mosley, Trout, Mayweather, Angulo, Lara, Kirkland, Cotto while Spence has fought....? Aligeri who isn't even on anyone's top 10 WW rankings and his only significant wins came at 140 before that he was a frigging kickboxer. Spence ain't fought a top 10 contender at any weight yet or won a championship.

And that's not even bringing up the fact that his last 3 years as a pro he's fought above 147 11 of those 15 fights. He's only fought 7 of his ENTIRE pro career at 147. He's not even a natural WW turned pro at 149. Yet he's fighting small unranked welterweights. But Canelo is protected? And Spence will beat him when he gets hit a ton by brick layers and cab drivers? LMAO

Excuse me but he's been on a learning journey...beyond algieri now the bigger fights happen.....from waht I see of him he looks like the real deal and would fancy him to put it on canelo...canelo was beaten by Lara and lost every round to mayweather ....relax

Lara ran like a girl and that's why he lost. Once Canelo busted up his eye and he saw his own blood he had no intentions of fighting. That loss is on him. And EVERYONE loses to Floyd. He's the best defensive fight of his era. If Spence fought either guy he would of lost. And newsflash Spence doesn't fight like Lara or Floyd. He's a flat footed weak defensive fighter who get's hit a high rate by low class C and D fighters. Against Canelo it's a massacre. He needs to worry about stepping up his competition and fixing the holes in his defense before anyone thinks he would stand a chance with Canelo. But again funny you called Canelo protected but Spence is just "learning" yet Canelo is YOUNGER then Spence. Double standard there buddy and just proves how far along Canelo is for his age. thus calling him protected is about as ******ed a statement as one can make when all the fighters in his age group are still fighting tomato cans and fighters who are multiple levels in talent and accomplishments below the fighters canelo is fighting.

Hilraious to see folks continue to act like there's no one their for Golovkin to fight

I mean yes & no. The problem is it seems as if GGG is a guy who's continually ran into guys who would be great opponents for him, but **** keeps happening to f#ck things up & it seems like its more on the other guys side.

I mean right now its plausible GGG's resume COULD have had Felix Sturm, Sergio Martinez, Julio Cesar Chavez (back when he still had hype), Carl Froch, Miguel Cotto & Saul Alvarez on it. Maybe others who I'm forgetting. Problem has been none of those guys, who all had the power or still do have the power to make a fight with GGG, seemed to have THAT much interest in fighting GGG. For as much as some fans can argue GGG doesn't want those fights I believe there to be more evidence to suggest the other guy didn't want it much more.

And I know there is a juice being worth the squeeze angle for the A side in these situations, & GGG is the B side all day every day to all of them til he beats one of them, but cmon none of these guys have ultimately wanted to fight GGG enough over all these years. Even with his blooming popularity that is certainly bigger than many opponents these guys have chosen to fight. Thats something thats very interesting regardless if you think GGG is a future GOAT or a bum one big fight from being exposed.

The problem is Magodev who is the Russian you mean is only 22 and probably won't be ready till Golovkin is 37. And yeah Quillin will probably come back at 168 if he does.

[Teetotaler]

The haymon 154lb guys that'll eventually move up wont want anything to do with GGG. Look at jacobs, that dude barely mentioned golovkin......like ever.

Protected *******....who is running for his life away from golovkin....lost every single f@ckin second of every single round of a 12 round world title fight to mayweather lol......has to call up an old chinny ex jnr weltwerweight where he has a weight advantage of over 15lbs ....wow sign of a mexican warrior isn't it...refuses to move from 155 even though he rehydrates above 175 and actually more than a fighter he is trying to get down to 155..... As for trout he was shown to be limited and has never amounted to much since.....Lara talks a good fight but in reality he has no power and made canelo look like boxer stuck in mud......yes he's been fighting since he was 15 and that's because he had no choice.....given to the fact how long he's been pro he has at least 3 years on spence in terms of pro experience....GTFOH defending a protected 155lb fighter who don't have the bollocks to face his mandatory....u must be so proud of him MONGCHAT lol
