Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Canelo's Next Foes Will Reveal Golovkin Intentions

[hitking]

paulie is really overrating this weightclass, and why he's doing it is no surprise :

they fight on showtime!


bigger charlo, andrade, and lara are good fighters. lara and andrade are much, much better fighters tahn bigger charlo.

smaller charlo is just famous because of his brother. that kid relaly isn't much to write home about. and his brother's potency comes from his size. that's a big, big JMW. so is andrade. those guys are big. willie nelson was f#cking enormous

then you've got little charlo, austin trout, a very old miguel cotto [who trout beat soundly,]

the division isn't that good, paulie. but they do all fight on the network that employs you.




now, to the golovkin detractors, these are the good fights that you want to see golovkin take, right?
why aren't you ripping these kids, two of whom are probably bigger than golovkin, to move up?

Outside of Canelo and Lara. None of the other kids mentioned as top jr middleweights are established enough to generate enough intrigue to turn a GGG fight into a BIG fight. Those guys are gonna have to either start knocking off each other. Or, get a win over a Canelo or a Lara to be viewed as a realistic threat to GGG at 60.

As for GGG, I think the handwriting is on the wall for him. He can either sit around, and try and get the top guys, in a division that really isn't all that good to begin with to fight him. And hope that a star from a lower division like Canelo will eventually come up and fight him. Or maybe Floyd is enticed to come back and fight him. Or, he can look up the scale for some big fights. Preferably the Ward-Kovalev winner.

Canelo's ppv numbers will be in the ****ter even more if it's not GGG next. This guy is a coward and a liar and has one of the most carefully coordinated careers I can ever remember. 155? Wtf is 155?!

Canelo's PPV numbers look fine to me. Especially compared to a guy like GGG.

Paulie says that Canelo probably belongs in the 154lb division anyway. How is that Paulie? The guy weighs 175lbs on fight night!

[Bossman15]

A very mini tournament with none of the top guys fighting each other.

The top fighters at 154, in no order of merit, are Lara, Andrade, the Charlo twins, Cotto, Williams, Smith and maybe Canelo.

Andrade says he wants everybody whose name starts with C and ends with O, but is he serious about that? He said he was moving up to 160 to fight Korobov, then disappeared and wasn't seen again for a year!

Liam Smith seems to be the only one who would fight any of the others.

Then why does Farhood and people think Canelo is not amongst the best I think he needs to face one or both Charlo Twins J-Rock then Andrade it's only right when you talk cleaning up the division believe me i feel like it's a 50/50 fight with him and Golovkin but who says he takes it now

Did you see Molina the other night? Some guys are capable of dropping way down in weight, rehydrating, and not have their performance suffer. Blame the rule, not Canelo. By today's standards, he's a jr middleweight.

His last one? Gtfoh. This isn't a compare and contrast idiot. Everyone knows Canelo is the A-side. Moving through whatever division he is claiming (155 isn't a weight class) or has fighters willing to come from to fight him in Canelo class is way beyond ridiculous. Ggg's ppv numbers suck. But, the world wants Canelo to fight this guy next. Also, if you know anything about math, canelo's last ppv lost money domestically.

B-side Hopkins(bigger than Golovkin) dropped a few pounds to get A-side Oscar.

What's so precious about GG??

You are correct! Almost all of these 154 lbers weigh 170+. Outside of Floyd and Pac everyone is fighting 1-2 weight classes below their natural walk around weight. Including GGG. But the 168 lbers weigh 180+ so I can see why he stays at 160.

Why are you so salty all the time.?

GGG fans are so fragile and defensive...too bad Golovkin doesn't have your defensive skills.

Slow as.s Wade landed a FOUR punch combo on that bum.
Wade couldn't lay a glove on 40+ y/o Sam Soliman.
