Comments Thread For: Hopkins: No Excuses, Golovkin Should Fight Kovalev!

[NotTheFace]

Gg fighting tough opposition? He doesn't even have the heart to move up more than 4 pounds to fight a p4p star

actually loeffler's offer was 164 50/50 with GGG as the bigger draw.


ward walked away.


that is a fact.

Why shouldn't Kovalev try his luck at heavyweight? Pretty much every great light heavyweight in history has tried his luck against the big boys.

Apparently you have lost your wanker too. Kovalev is 6 feet tall. This isn't the 1940s anymore. The average top heavyweight now is 6 foot 6 now. Fury 6 foot 9, Joshua 6 foot 6, BUM SQUAD 6 foot 7. Breazeale 6 foot 7. When Jones did it back in 2004 he picked the easiest champion, Ruiz, a guy who had one belt and was knocked unconscious in 25 seconds of the first round with one punch by David Tua. So don't even try. Try to find your wanker.

I think 60 40 gg but at 168 would have been fair

You should save those BS excuses for somebody else.

why is it that all of you need to use a bad word in order to prove your point. Insecure?

[mathed]

No excuses, I know you don't have any trouble making 160 at all but you need to move up 15 pounds and fight the hardest puncher around so you won't destroy our diva Candelita.

kovalev? ward maybe but kovalev? give me a break. ggg entering that ridiculous point floyd was in where fans want him to lose so bad they are delusional

No, some fans wanted him to lose, others like myself wanted him to stop being scared and just fight. Floyd hurt boxing's cred/rep badly. Pull up Andre Berto's interview with TMZ, he summed it up nicely. "He doesn't fight, he runs" - AB

And it's not about wanting to see GGG lose, he just doesn't have any real threats at 160 or 168. All great fighters challenged themselves and moved up multiple weight divisions

[mathed]

LMAO at tossing in De La Dive in there....So in a decade plus in the U.S. he fought 4 total names in a reign that spanned twelve plus years. You want to compare him to a guy that spent almost his full seven unrecognized outside of europe. Talk about grasping at straws.

All these haters are scared as can be man. Dissing GGG's resume because he fought no one while defending the guys who are ducking him. Talk about a predicament. When articles come out about GGG fighting a real name or their favorite boxer, first reaction from most of them is.....

Funny enough.. Kovalev was asked the same question in an interview about fighting Golovkin, he responded by saying sure.. why not mayweather!?
I have huge respect for Hopkins as a boxer and not so much as a person.. But for him to say ***** like this is utter ******ed..
B-Hop is friends with Kovalev right.. How about he bring up this idea with him and see what he says..

[firstborn]

you really believe he is trying to protect canelo

Absolutely, Canelo is GBP's only cash cow. Just my opinion but Bhop has shown respect for GGG in the past and knows he'll beat Canelo.

[aboutfkntime]

Canelo should drop the 160 belt if he doesn't want to fight in that weight division.

I don't see GGG holding any 168 or 175 belts hostage.

He was willing to fight Froch, but not Ward.

So, I can see GGG holding a 168 title hostage in future.
