Comments Thread For: Froch: If Eubank Faces Golovkin in September - I'd Be Shocked

[kiaba360]

No, not really..... not genuine world-class opponents.

Murray was fringe world-class at 160, but Lemieux is not..... I can see Lemieux losing to a number of fighters who are not world-class.

I would maybe give you Murray on a good day.

Do you believe that MW has any world-class opposition for him to fight?

[BlakBread904]

And the questions remain.....

1) how will Golovkin raise his profile without fighting a world-class opponent?

2) will the boxing public really accept Golovkin breaking Hopkins record by defending the WBA's second-rate INTERIM title against lower-level fighters who were all significant underdogs?

1) can't force the remaining world class middleweights to fight GGG. He's already beaten more top-10 ranked opponents within the past couple of years, than anyone else.

2) You are flat out wrong. GGG is the primary WBA champion, the "super" champ. Danny Jacobs is the "regular" (secondary) titlist. Alfonso Blanco is the "interim" (tertiary) champ. Do you even fact check yourself?

This is why lil g is over there sniffing around that pups kennel.
Lara is down the street but he would rather go waaaayyyy over there to cherry pick his next opponent.

MW is loaded with bums, right? How easy would it be for Lara to move up and put himself in a mando position for one of GGG's belts? Tureano Johnson was calling Lara out last fall on Twitter no less. If Lara'd taken the fight and beaten Johnson, he would've been GGG's mando instead of Wade. How about Jacobs, another Haymon fighter?

hey b1tch, get your **** sorted......

..... until the Geale fight, Golovkin was the INTERIM champ.....

He has only made 6 defences of the SUPER title kid.

Just what we need, a hypejob with a childish fanbase laying false claim to a legend's record.

How easy would it be for you to stop making weak excuses ?

How easy would it be for Golovkin to start taking those fights, instead of making a bunch of childish excuses to avoid them?

Rosado didn't have to prove himself at 160, and yet Golovkin fought him no problem..... and Lara is much better than the scrubs he is currently fighting.

There is no reason whatsoever why that fight shouldn't happen..... Lara certainly kills that "errybody duckin me doe" excuse.

What's my "weak excuse" again? And, who said anything about "proving?" You consistently show an ignorance or context, particularly timelines...Rosado was OVER 3 YEARS AGO. If Lara really wants it, he can get it EASILY. In fact, as I pointed out, T Johnson called Lara out last year just after he'd become GGG's IBF mando. Lara could've already fought GGG this past spring instead of Wade.

Here's a fact that you're dementia will label an excuse...Golovkin's not interested in him because boxing fans aren't interested in him. How about you and the other Lara fans ask Lara what he'll want to be paid for fighting GGG and raise the money to make it happen? Between the six of you, I'm guessing you'll only have to come up with somewhere around $300k each.

yes, GGG was the interim at one point and was later elevated to full "super" titleholder. Throw some context in your post, it seemed to me you were talking in the present tense re: GGG's belt status. I'll fall back on that one.

The counting of defenses made under what kind of title, I guess put a footnote or asterisk that some of his defenses were of a secondary title? To me, that's not a big deal either way. I'm sure there are plenty of other champions who get credit (or little-to-none) for secondary title defenses.

Re: Lara fight...if GGG fights him, fine. If he doesn't, oh well. I'll watch if they do. It's an interesting matchup of two accomplished boxers. but I'm not demanding that fight in the same vein as Canelo/GGG, Kovalev/Ward, etc.

Seems to me, not a lot of demand for a GGG/Lara fight....or for a Lara fight, period. Some of you are really acting as if we are missing out on a potential FOY with GGG/Lara, or some great swathe of boxing fandom is being done a great disservice by not making that fight. C'mon son.

If I had anything to tell Lara to his face, it would be, to make people want to watch him ply his craft. He's unpopular, to be frank. If he fights in a more crowd-pleasing way, people might want to see him again. Yes, its the promoter's job to sell/promote the event. but promoter's job stops when the bell rings, its up to the fighter to sell his self via his in-ring performances.

" How easy would it be for Lara to move up "

Rosado didn't have to move up.

Just tired of the fact that Team Golovkin try to say that nobody will fight them, and yet..... they always have a bunch of weak excuses to justify not fighting guys who want to fight them.

Those excuses worked for awhile, but yea, sick of listening to that **** now.

It's like they want me to feel sorry for them, because they lied to me LMAO

Golovkin is not interested in fighting Lara because he is a tricky southpaw who is notoriously difficult to look good against.

WHOAH, WTFFFFF ?

We are talking about the record for consecutive middleweight defences here.

Now you can break that record by defending any ol damn belt ? LMAO

You can't be serious ?

Golovkin wasn't even the best guy in the WBA at that point in time.

That **** " title " did not even exist in Hopkins era.

Why completely burn the standards within boxing simply to benefit Golovkin?
