Comments Thread For: Fortune To Golovkin: Don't Fight a Smaller F***ing Guy - Move Up!

[Snoop Frog]

isn't there some sort of time limit, etc where if you dont fight at that weight for x amount of fights a "new" lineal will be made with the #1 & 2 of said divisions?

I *think* that whoever beats Canelo next would become the new lineal (the guy who beat the guy, who beat the guy...) middleweight champion, but maybe I'm wrong.

So if a smaller guy with a big following buys his way to the head of the line to a voluntary, wins a title then camps there in your division, you should make up?!

I want to see GGG move up but that makes no sense at all.

If he can cut the weight and feels more comfortable then he's probably not going out of his way to cut the weight.

To another point Jack, DeGale and the Dirrell's would be good and I honestly think all four beat him.

Who says he feels more comfortable? Doug Fischer of the Ring says that he suspects it's a struggle [and he is closer to the situation than any of us] and that it will happen very soon that Canelo can't make 155 anymore. If he is a JMW why doesn't he make 154? The answer must be because he can't or because he feels bad after making 154. If he feels "bad" at making 154 then you'd have to assume that he doesn't exactly feel "great" making 155 - probably just "less bad".

You may be right about those fighters at SMW. I love Golovkin's style - breath of fresh air - but the hype is unreal. If he could go up and beat 2 out of those 4 then his record would start to catch up with the hype. At this point in time I'd say Jack would be the easier fight, Anthony Dirrell next easiest and DG and Andre toughest. There is no chance either Dirrell gets to fight GGG unless they can win back a title - huge risk and pitiful reward. A Ward fight will get made before either of them get a GGG fight.
I see Ramirez as a tough fight - his height and reach advantage is significant. He made the AA fight look easy.

I think G's team should give Canelo their own deadline and let Golden Boy know it's now or never! If they refuse we never ever see the fight and GGG goes after BJS to unify then moves up to 168 and become the legend we all know he is!

Hurry though, I need to see GGG fight at least 2 more times this year... I'm fiendin' Sun, my blood is itchin'!

Which guys are bigger?Mosley and Oscar or Broner and Porter?

Once again the idiotical comments about people saying Canelo is this weight class when he isn't in that weight class, Canelo is a middleweight and I don't care what degree he has he clearly doesn't know much about boxing If he is saying Canelo is a Jr MW.

That is how it works too bad Canelo isn't man enough to live up to his word he has been exposed as a liar and a coward and it is indeed fair to call him a coward when he doesn't fight the guys the people want to see him fight afterall they're the ones paying him.

The public got it wrong with Floyd. Made no action non fan friendly non risk taking even against bums all defensive run for your life fighter all time highest paid ever. Yes he was a genious I'm talking what you got for your Ppv $.

If Floyd's opponents were bums, then what do you think of GGG and Pacquiao's opponents?

[dirty fingers]

Yeah don't fight smaller guys, Gennady. Move up so guys can fight the smaller you!

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I guess is fair to call Lil G a coward too...seeing how he called out anyone from 154-168 but wanted a catchweight for Ward, like you stated he doesn't fight the guys the people want to see him fight after all they are the one paying him.
