I'm legit concerned for Dominic Wade.

[Larry the boss]

Yea, I get it man. Im just not mad at Golovkin for doin what he has to do. If you had the belt and they said we gonna strip your ass you dont fight this no hope motha ***a, you would go knock his ass out in the most humane way possible right,lol.

once again im not blaming GGG, he is only a fighter

I dont see it that way. Its an unfortunate turn of events that put this young man in Golovkin's path. Golovkin cares about his belts as he should, he is taking care of his obligation. Hopefully from here on he makes the moves he needs to make the fights we want to see and we can also hope the rest of the middleweight world stops jukin him.

He doesn't care about the belts. That's just an excuse to keep fighting the Dominic Wade's of the world while waiting for a lucrative payday against Floyd (retired, no MW belt) Froch (retired, no MW belt) Chavez Jr (no MW belt) or Ramirez (no MW belt). Loeffler has said they'd go to a different weight class for a big money fight. Abel has said it too. They've told you money is more important than unification, yet you're still buying this unification BS. What else do they have to do to convince you they're after money? These people are hustlers and you're getting played if you believe unification of their goal.

Him and Barrera were both mandatories for the IBF..and if Barrera had fought Kovalev he would have gotten seriously hurt..stop making excuses just because you are a so called GGG fan..this is no knock on his the IBF si going to get someone hurt

EDIT-Matter of fact Wade is worse as he was not even the mandatory..he was the 2nd choice after the mandatory was injured..this is criminal

Both Kova and Ward are looking to fight Shabranskyy as interim fights. Shabranskyy is ranked even lower than and has almost no chance of beating either. Is either of those fights criminal?

I think your main issues are you don't like GGG, you're live in 90's Golden Era were fighters could do no wrong and you revisit history based on accomplishments made much later or earlier in the fighters career.

Check his weights. This is his first full training camp where he has to make 160.

How can you be ranked at 160 when you've never fought in the division? Holy **** this is terrible.

I think instead of the haters (not saying you) focusing on hating GGG and his team they should be hating on the IbF and write letters to them stating their concern

You believe that? Ive never been a professional fighter but I can imagine being one, I think we all can. If I had the good fortune to nab a legit world title, I would care. I tell you how much I would care, that one world title while it would be awesome to have won it wouldnt be enough, I would have to have them all. Its one thing to announced as the WBA or WBC or IBF middleweight champion of the world. Its another thing all together when you hear, "Introducing, the Undisputed Middle Weight Champion of the World'. See that carries an entirely different kind of staus, you are not one of the middleweight champions, you are THE middle weight champion period.

Edit: thats why I have the respect I do for LeMule, His first defense was against the scariest mutha ***a in the division. Yea, I know he is limited I know all about him but he had the balls to take whatever came his way.This use to be the way of champions in boxing.

Ibf has pfp the worst rankings

Not only this. Kell Brook nearly put Kevin Bizier's head in the upper deck. The IBF has to be stopped.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Is he that bad, Ill be honest I know nothing about him other than his boxrec profile.

Barrera beat Karo Murat in a title eliminator to earn the mandatory shot. Wade has never fought in a scheduled 12 round pro boxing match, period.

Check his weights. This is his first full training camp where he has to make 160.

That's exactly it. I've seen Wade fight. I'd go out on a limb and say Ashley Theophane schools him over 12 even at a catchweight. He's that bad, at least to me.

Soliman beat him, period. That's the only non-American opponent and he's like a C-class fighter at best - yet Wade was nearly life-and-death in that fight.

Golovkin/Wade might very well end up like Hamed/Lawal.
