Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Reacts To Statements By Chavez Jr.

[sterilizer]

FINALY some Mexican have some balls?

Another troll/keyboard warrior bringing up nationality to stir some fire. I'll bet this person would pee his pants and run away scared if he was challenged to tell that bull$@€t comment to either Canelo or Chavez Jr. in person.
Oh and BTW why don't you even learn to write first, to at least sound a tad bit credible?

When can Golovkin be ready to go again? If Chavez is willing to hop in next, no way you let this fight go. The most negative thing I can think that would happen would be the 164/168 backlash GGG might get. But if that's not an issue with team GGG, then this is a win-win. Hardcores will see through this, but the fight probably does as well as canelo/khan. Jr.'s in need of a payday, and maybe we see how GGG reacts when someone's coming forward, which I would hope Jr would do.

This is a fun a** fight and especially if Jr wants it, I say make it happen. Should be GGG's highest purse to date. Why would he not want it?

Whatever happened to Danny Jacobs?

Why doesn't anybody ever talk about him?

Co-sign.

It's a smart fight to make. K2's already talking about a Texas fight in July/August = Chavez. Fighting Chavez wouldn't be meaningful in terms of MW legacy, but it would put GGG in a big spot light and give him more leverage to make fights with Alvarez, Jacobs, and Saunders.

A Golovkin/Chavez fight might have a lot of synergy. Chavez hasn't had a big name opponent since Martinez. I think if he was matched against a popular fighter like Golovkin who's linked to Alvarez, the Mexican media would catch fire.

Chavez would turn this into a joke; he will show up well over 170 at the weigh in and a.s.o.

Chavez, JR is a name & little else. This fight, especially if it's PPV, is a scam. It would do little for Golovkin, but it would generate mild interest in Chavez again & line both men's pockets.

Let him show up at 190 lbs, he's going to be a pinata either way.

Chavez had some good skills early on, but they've eroded with poor training and inactivity. He once had a strong heart in the ring, that looks to be gone as well. The only point of this fight is to increase Golovkin's fame.

GGG missed out on career defining fights with Pavlik, Martinez, Sturm, Pirog, and Quillin. Now he's waiting on an overacheiving 155 lber to help cement his MW legacy? Might as well take out JCC Jr while he's at it.

It's obvious that GGG's career at MW reached a deadlock -- all ducked him. He was ducked at 168 also (Froch, Chavez Jr...)... and Ward isn't there anymore and said he can't make that weight anymore; but who knows...

In short: do date, I'm not that interested about what happens next to GGG...

This would be a great fight. Chavez got heart and GGG got power, skill and a chin. This would be a slugfest. This fight is what people think Canelo vs GGG is. There would be pundits that say Chavez was not focused or whatever but this fight is a challenge for GGG
