Comments Thread For: Golovkin Says No Move To 168 Until All Belts at 160 Are His

Seriously what is wrong with that goal? People just hate others doing well. This is why Floyd and Manny get hate and now your seeing it with GGG; all 3 will go down in the history books as great champions.

I hope he does, but I wish he had done it when Ward was @ 168! GGG's career is starting to look like Marvin Hagler...without the Hearns, Duran, and Leonard fights! Hopefully Canelo, Lara, Andrade, Jermall Charlo and J-Rock, will make a move to 160 in 2018, after they fight each other @ 154. Maybe they will all wait until GGG goes to 168...KARMA!!!

Unification is what I want to see.
Problem is BJS has the belt and has seemed reluctant to face Golovkin in the past.

If the BJS vs Canelo fight comes about and Canelo wins..we get the whole 'We don't f**k around' situation again.

The problem is, GGG has essentially turned his belt quest into a teflon excuse to fight ****ty competition. What makes it even worse is that the guys he's chasing aren't any good anyway. GGG is basically able to sit around fighting pathetic mandatories like Wade, and now a welterweight in Brook. And all is excused because, "nobody will fight him." Then when asked about looking up the scale instead of down it, he cites, "unification is my priority." Its lame, and hypocrisy at its worst.

IBF/IBO/WBC/WBA middleweight world champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin is not even thinking about a move in weight to 168-pounds - until he captures all of the titles at 160-pounds.

That is ridiculous.

I agree with Cliff Rold, it is time for Golovkin to move up.

Middleweight is dead, and it has been for some time now..... by selecting Brook and then using the "best we could get" excuse, Team Golovkin admitted that it is pointless remaining at 160.

Real boxing fans would be he cheering for a guy trying to unify a division. You loved BHop for it didn't you?

So you're upset we're missing out on Brook vs Vargas unification?

I wanted to see unification too. That's why I'm pissed the Vargas fight was called off. Aren't you?

I think real boxing fans know that with or without belts, GGG is THEE unquestioned middleweight champion of the world. He's also considered by many as one of the 2-3 best P4P fighters on the planet.

Real boxing fans have also grown tired of GGG's "nobody will fight me, so I'm a pick a ****ty opponent while I wait" routine. Especially when he's waiting on fighters that ain't good anyway.

Bottomline is, if GGG wants to unify belts, fine. But he needs to stop being a hypocrite. You can't be willing to drag a guy up two divisions, then turn around and say, "I won't move up until I get all the belts in my home divisions." That's like being in HS, fighting 5th grader, then running home when his 21yr old brother confronts you.

GREAT post !

Yeah i wanted to see it. The fight got a bit of heat on here when talks were announced but i was looking forward to it happening.
I was rooting for Brook to add the WBO to his IBF.

I had Brook winning for sure, but i feel it would of been a competitive fight.

It was a good fight that would lead to another good fight, Spence. And it also put two of the four belts in one hand. What does GGG-Brook lead to? It's a terrible fight for the sport of boxing.

Yeah, GGG vs Brook is just a 'filler' fight like Canelo vs Khan was. I give Brook and Khan (and others) credit for taking such a leap. But yeah, they are/were fights that don't do too much for me.

Ideally, for me at least, we would of seen Brook Vs Vargas and GGG vs Eubank as opposed to them facing each other.
