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

[Areyoudumb]

Jealousy is a very bad thing. GGG would be dwarfed at SMW as he will weigh less than those guys and will be shorter than them especially Callum Smith and Zurdo being 6ft 3in draining themselves down. As for weight... Canelo, Jacobs, quillin, Murray, Lemieux all outweigh him by some margin too.

No one can rebut the fact that Canelo HAS NEVER FOUGHT ANYONE WHO REGULARLY CAMPAIGNS AT 160 LBS

He hasn't fought a true middleweight and finding fault in him not wanting to fight the supposed best one out there without a catchweight is kind of biased, is all I am saying.

It's a known fact that professional athletes don't reach their prime until age 27 or 28. Canelo is 25 yrs old younger than both Joshua and Spence but you don't see anyone calling them to fight Klitschko or Mayweather. A 28 yr old Stephen Curry is much better than a 25 yr old Curry. Canelo has yet to reach his best form putting him in there with Lil G is as bad as putting Fernando Vargas against Tito Trinidad we all saw how that ended up for Vargas.

One of the most ridiculous comments I've ever heard. Where was Mike Tyson at 27/28? 3 or 4 years removed from being knocked out by Buster Douglas. Where was Meldrick Taylor at that age? He'd been knocked out 3 or 4 times and was lightyears away from his prime. What about Sergio Martinez? He was fighting for the IBO title, which was 5 or 6 years before his prime. Different fighters peak at different ages - don't paint them all with the same brush. Canelo won't be much better than he is now in 3 years.

But he's the lineal Middleweight champion and has said on HBO in front of millions of people that he does want to fight GGG. How is it biased to assume that he should take that fight at middleweight?

So this floydhype reporter goes into Roach's training center not to write something about the forthcoming Crawford/Postol fight, which is a very intriguing one, but to find someone who hates GG. What a hateful world we live in.

Can you at least stalk GG people and ask them about Lara, since this is the fight you want him in?

What a waste of time.

155 is middle weight. There's no in between classes. If you're over 154 but below 161 you're a middle weight.

I love Canelo but he is as ready for this fight as he ever will be.

And Golovkin has spent almost half a decade telling anyone who shoves a camera and microphone in front of his face that he will fight anywhere from 154 to 168.

Yet, given the chance to do exactly that several times he has managed to do so exactly zero times.

And with stardom beckoning him to cut one less pound than his dream fight with Floyd and take the second best payday possible in the entire sport (and his biggest payday by many multiples) he decides to imitate an A side with a guy that has over 3 million more PPV buys than he has been able to get.

VEEEERRYY intelligent, that.

Ridiculous how? Mike Tyson was a freak of nature there hasn't been anyone that has dominated his sport as soon as they turned pro as he did. Meldrick Taylor is also a perfect example of why you shouldn't put in someone in a big fight too early on their careers look what the Chavez fight did to him it destroy him mentally and physically. As for Martinez the dude was a cyclist before he turn to boxing so of course it took time for him to develop. Whether you agree or not Canelo has improved quite a bit since the Mayweather fight in 2-3 more yrs he will continue to progress then is when he should take the lil G fight.

You literally picked the two worst examples ever. Meldrick Taylor had his prime beaten out if him by Chavez and Tyson was a lazy ***** when he came back.....

You literally couldn't have been more wrong if you tried.

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.

Look at that! So cute... you said 154-168... Nice memory.
wah... 154-168... wah... 164... wah...
With any luck GGG will retire before whoever the f... you are trying to
protect has to fight him... because he is avoided at his weight
Completely... not his fault except for the knocking everyone out.
