Comments Thread For: Garcia: If Golovkin Will Face Floyd at 154, Then Face Canelo at 155

[Bronx2245]

Figures this chump would be defending the most pathetic CW bluff ever

I'm defending the sport. This isn't the first CW proposal. In fact, Canelo has already accepted a catch-weight to fight Floyd. Canelo has "dared to be great," just like B-Hop, and those before him. The loss has done nothing to affect his stardom, in fact his stardom continued to increase after the loss! Let's see what GGG does! Take the risk, or settle for being the lineal champion of the MW division...that has fought no one.

Some people fight for gold. Some fight for glory...

Which one does Golovkin fight for, gold or glory?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

The man has a point.

Lil triple flop was willing to go to 154 to face pacquaio or mayweather for a MONEY fight but that didnt work out and they are retired now their is another MONEY fight on the table at 155 yet he dont want it.

Intresting to think lil triple flop only was willing to make conession when the concession is still an advantage for him and he knows he can win, Gabe rosado glorified sparring partner lil flop had no issue with a catchweight, pac and may way smaller than him so he had no issue going down in weight to face them cause he knew he will still be bigger and can beat them, froch and chavez jr are past it not the best figthers lil flop has no issue going up to fight them at 168 but ]against ward he wanted ward to go down to a catchweight (4lbs below the official SMW limit) and ward to defend his super title against him at a catch weight, but when canelo offers lil flop those exact same terms OH no all of a sudden canelo is out of line he must respect boxing and lil flop only cares about legacy. GTFOH

You're not defending the sport lol. 155 for 3 MW belts and lineal is a straight disgrace, as are those that defend it. And once again **** for brains, there's no 155 offer. It's some day, down the line

[benjyyy]

Theres nothing hypocritical about GGG here. He's willing to make the sacrifice against Floyd if that is what it takes because thats a mega fight (and Floyd is smaller). Canelo doesn't bring the same money and anyway he weighs 170+ on fight night when he fights at 155 anyway

[casheddie]

If GGG comes at Canelo with a 157lb catchweight counter then all the ggg haters will say whats the difference? why not just give up the extra 2 lbs.

you guys will find anything to hate.

You want that "someday down the line" as much as Oscar! You don't want to see your hero do what B-Hop did, because your very afraid that your hero can't do what B-Hop did! You're glad he didn't fight Ward! Your're glad that he probably won't fight Canelo! You applaud his willingness to fight a WW like Floyd @ 154, even though you accept that he will be too drained and lose, just like Canelo, but then say in the same breath, "GGG doesn't care about money!" If 155 will affect him so much vs. Canelo, then what will 154 do to him vs. Floyd, who is a much better boxer than GGG? Why would he even be interested in fighting Floyd? FOR MONEY!!! Enjoy GGG vs. Brook you ignorant bit*h!

[Travycat]

No, not on the same level. Canelo is asking for a weight that Golovkin probably could make and still win. Floyd made a guy struggling to make 154 go to 152, truly a different level.

Then conventional wisdom would say to fight the fighters at the weight you don't struggle with (that's actually a weight class) i.e. 160. Mike Tyson wasn't trying to fight Light Heavy.

No ID rather Alvarez got destroyed in the ring, but a strippage is 2nd best for such a lousy paper champ.

There's nothing wrong with fighting a 2x, former unified, lineal Sww champ at Sww, dumb****. It's nothing like unifying 3 MW belts + lineal at 155. Get it, ******?

[PunchyPotorff]

I don't care if Garcia is a trainer or whatever, trainers, boxers, promoters mostly have biased opinions to begin with. "That's Garcia doe" is a weak argument IMO. Very few guys from the boxing world are fair and unbiased, only dude coming to my mind is ****m who is making an effort to keep it real. And if my opinion doesn't mean anything, then why replying to my posts? We are just here to trade opinions. Garcia probably doesn't know Golovkin amateur record and pedigree like I do.
(I follow a lot amateur boxing) Golovkin has a tremendous amateur record with many international medals. He beat Bute, Lee, Korobov and Direll as an amateur and so hasn't fought only bums all his damn life. Asking a fighter with this pedigree to be a sell out and drop 5 pounds for 5-10 mil is pretty much a WRONG ADVICE. Anyone, but GGG isn't anyone. I would gladly take a beating for 5-10 mil, but this mainly because I don't have a pro record to keep undefeated and I don't already have millions on my bank account.
Golovkin has probaly been making decent money with K2 and his 14 title défenses + sponsoring. Again, that's a weak argument bro. Sorry, I understand your point but I STRONGLY disagree.

You can have any opinion you want of anything. Doesn't change the fact that a broke old person will usually kick themselves in the rear any time they remember the money that got away. NOTHING is weak about my argument. Wait til you're old and reality smacks you 'round a bit. Happens every day to people. And some of the bad decisions GGG has made leads me to believe he'll keep making them throughout his life. Sticking at MW just to get all the belts... when SMW and/or LHW is waiting for even better money. That's not the brightest move. Whether he has one or all belts, he's well respected. 1, 2 more belt(s) doesn't change a thing in his legacy. He may even be respected less if he gets Canelo's belt by default.
