Comments Thread For: Avtandil Khurtsidze Wants Shot at Gennady Golovkin, Says DiBella

Douglas is better than any win any Golovkin opponent has ever had. You're scared.

GGG is so good he forced lil Candelita to create an entire division so he wouldn't have to face him.




GGG haters...........

[jaded]

What top 10 win did Wade and Monroe have?

But enough is enough...I can't watch this anymore and I'm a big fan of GGG.

The heightclass posters are going to be like yo this guy is Roman Gonzalez height.

What are you talking about? Dirrell is the one who quit the Super Six not Ward.

And Ward has fought "black dudes" like Sakio Bika, Chad Dawson, Allan Green and Edison Miranda.

They didn't want to fight each other. How hard is it to understand? Both parties knew it's a risk they didn't want to take. Pretty fucking obvious.

Bika, another Calzaghe leftover. So can you fuckers finally admit Calzaghe was a great fighter?

Dominic Wade was with Al Haymon so the politics excuse should be out the window, right?

If thats the case then why not feed jacobs to Golovkin?

Stephen Espinoza is already marking his territory with Danny Jacobs. Jacobs won't be an easy fight to make. If Haymon allows Danny to fight GGG on HBO, he'll piss off Showtime even though Jacobs/Quillin only drew 385k viewers.

Showtime boxing chief Stephen Espinoza has from a distance admired the work of middleweight knockout artist Gennady Golovkin. But he thinks Golovkin may be running out of opponents.

While Golovkin is signed exclusively to HBO, Espinoza spoke enthusiastically of a matchup between IBF/WBA titleholder Golovkin and Danny Jacobs, the WBA’s “regular” champion. Espinoza cast doubt on Canelo Alvarez facing his mandatory Golovkin (35-0, 32 knockouts) this year, paving the way he hopes for a potential match with Jacobs, who usually fights on Showtime and PBC cards.

“What he’s done is impressive,” Espinoza told ******.com on Tuesday of Golovkin, who destroyed Dominic Wade in two rounds on Saturday. “He hasn’t fought a Murderers Row (of opponents). But he has clearly been really effective against everyone who’s been put in front of him, and you can’t really ask for more than that.”

The WBA has recently said that if Alvarez doesn’t agree to face his mandatory Golovkin in the fall, it would try to make Golovkin face Jacobs (31-1, 28 KOs) in an attempt to consolidate the WBA middleweight titles. If that happens, HBO and Showtime would presumably have to figure out the mechanics of a joint broadcast.

“It doesn’t sound like Golovkin-Canelo is imminent so I know there was talk of Golovkin-Jacobs being ordered, which I think obviously is a marquee fight if that goes to a purse bid or a mandatory,” Espinoza said. “I hope we can avoid some sort of network conflict because that is I think one of the more interesting fights left at 160. I’m not sure what else there is for (Golovkin) to do at 160, given where the division as a whole is right now.”

Why the hell would Espinoza say they hope they can avoid a network conflict? It's well know GGG is signed to HBO, Danny's not signed to Showtime.

Judging by that, GGG/Jacobs will turn out like Kov/Stevenson.

Monroe is a bad fight for Khurtsidze, but Derveyanchenko is a bad fight for Monroe. I'm really disappointed in Deveryanchenko and Khytrov's last two fights. DiBella's letting me down.

Not really imo he isn't as mobile as N'Dam plus he doesn't mind staying inside at times. I think Avtandil would grind him down.

lol Anybody who has any faith or hope in Dibella or is still under the impression he's a promoter needs a reality check guy is a puppet and ********** nothing else.
