Comments Thread For: Canelo Confident: Golovkin is Not What Everybody Think He Is!

[TudorMiron]

Are you ****ing high? Lucas is a far better boxer than GGG. Your talking about a guy that actually boxes and outfoxed very skillful elite fighters in his weight class versus a guy that walks down pitter pat hands Friday night fighters.

What is this guy? Lucas is far better boxer? What boxing elements/techniques Lucas does better than Golovkin? ah... OK.

No it wont be. Using Floyd/ODH as a barometer, Floyd went from 8 mil to 25 mil (once PPV came in) when he fought ODH.

GGG going from the $2 mil he made for Lemuiex and Wade to a guaranteed $5 mil plus ppv revenue seems fair. a reasonable split of the ppv is 75/25 or 70/30 given Canelo's worst PPV has doubled GGG's only one (using 150k and not 97k).

That Sounds like a fair offer to me...

Only in the minds of some. to the rest of us he was a power puncher that lost to the 2 best guys he faced.

GGG just hasn't fought the resume Matts did or he might have a couple losses.

Just be careful. GGG has tremendous talent but Canelo is a huge step up. Just like Floyd was a huge step up from Trout for Canelo.

Hmm so Lucas fought better comp, but didn't always look good. Was Canelo supposed to be Lucas in that comparison?

GGG is also huge step up for Canelo, finally fighting someone his own size and with comparable or better power.

I also agree, this would be a fair offer.

When is the deadline to have the fight made?

Canelo: "Golovkin is Not What Everybody Think He Is!"

Right... He's even worse...

Not everyone see's it but it is so. Not many trust Abel when he claims that GGG is yet to fight at full 100% but funny thing is that he's telling the truth here. In fact GGG's amateur career is more telling than his current pro career. He was fighting and dropping (with headgear and gloves that don't allow to form a fist - pulm is half open) elite guys that no fight at 168 - 175. Dirrel, Bute etc., etc. The guy that he lost to in olimpics final would now easily terrorise 175lb division (even though Kovalev is there) and was much more experienced at that point.

Canelo wants GGG at 160!

GGG's gonna get KTFO! WAAAAAAAAR CANELO!

Ok, he says that on video but now WATCH how they will purposely try to offer him some lowball figure (maybe like a 90-10 in favor of Canelo). One they know he will turn down and then they will say that Canelo agreed to 160 but he still refused. Business strategy that's been done many times over. Although no denying Canelo should get the larger purse of the 2.

He needed 6 rounds to KO a light welterweight, enough said.

I don't think they'd be allowed to offer such a low price.
40/30 at the lowest.
