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

[GGG Gloveking]

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.

Canelo not fighting a regular MW is no ones fault but Canelos. He had the opportunity fight a regular MW, and chose to fight Khan. He had the opportunity to make such declaration and concession, yet he chose to call GGG into the ring and say he would fight at the full 160.

You may think Canelo deserves an excuse for not fighting a true MW. Does he deserve an excuse for not honoring his word?

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.

What about Pipino Cuevas? Wilfred Benitez? Both were shot by 25. You can make individual excuses for each fighter I name but it's ridiculous to objectively state that boxers peak at a certain age.

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.

Was Golovkin lineal champion in either of those divisions? Was he fighting within the weight boundaries of those divisions while saying that? Thought so...

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.

What about Sergio Martinez? Taylor did lose it in one fight but he was still somebody who peaked early. Tyson's prime ended when he lost for the first time (before he went to prison) - he was just worse after he came back. There are many, many more fighters who weren't at their peak at 27/28(Benitez & Cuevas are just two more example). My point stands.

Does Lil G deserve an excuse for not honoring his or do you not remember anyone from 154-168? Of course not Ward or Lara only can appli

Seems to echo the sentiment of every non-GGG diehard. We agree, it sux and its f.ucked up that the top fighters in his division don't wanna fight him. But as a non-heavyweight, that's not an excuse to continue fighting the level of opposition hes been fighting.

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.

Who wanted to see Golovkin Vs. Ward?
I mention the name Ward to people and they've never heard of it, you mention Canelo and GGG they've heard of those names.

Honestly bro your just grasping at straws here... The majority of athletes are at their peaks during 27-32 yrs of age. Canelo is a perfect example of that he has gotten better as he aged in two or three yrs he'll be in his prime then and only then should he fight Lil G now is not the time

[Progrssive_Jedi]

You can't be a 154 fighter if you can't make 154

Canelo can't make 154, so he isn't a 154er. And every guy he listed GGG has at one time approached to fight.

Nope, it's not bias. If you walk around with the MW strap, hydrating more than the avg MW, then fight one. We should look at it for what it is...Canelo was bullying smaller men who can't hurt him - passing it off as "skills". But when he has to fight someone his size...he vacated the belt, stalling. Even pro boxers say and will keep saying Canelo is a big and/or he's a MW.

If he had any intentions of fighting GGG, the Khan fight would have been against a 160lbs and not ANOTHER fighter who ballooned up in weight.

Are you f**king 4 realz? Bro if you want to make a point don't go full ******... Every REAL boxing fan know who Ward is and would love to see him and Lil G fight only Golovtards are scared of that fight everyone else would welcome it

You mean, according to your premise, he should wait until GGG is 6 years past his prime to fight him. So much for Mexicans don't **** around, more like this Mexican wants to only right WW until GGG retired.
