A message to Tom Loeffler

Tom, thanks for sending me the picture in my sig! Thanks bro

TOM, none of these trolls have purchased Gennady gear and I have. Who will you listen to? I spend my money on Golovkins PPVs and gear and I can take photos of the purchases. We are the ones that matter and we are happy, period.

Tom, this troll is Doug Fischer or Steve Kim!

My message to Tom: Keep doing what you're doing. No promoter has done a better job he last 4 years than Tom Loeffler.

My message to Tom:
I understand why you took this fight due to lack of other options, but the next fight needs to be a huge challenge in order to make up for this.

Just in case you visit this site and happen to see this thread, please read:


As an avid Golovkin fan that steps up to defend him whenever I can, I have been absent from this board ever since the fight was announced. There have been so many threads over the last few days, but I've remained silent.

You wanna know why? It was out of sheer fúcking embarrassment.

I simply cannot fathom why you would want to make a fight with Kell Brook. Fighting a marginally well-known undefeated champion means precisely **** if the guy is two divisions south and has no chance to win.

This a step backward, and actually damages Gennady's career and legacy in the eyes of boxing fans, especially considering the lackluster opponents he has fought lately. I'm well aware that guys have been ducking Golovkin left and right, but this is not going to help the situation. Take a look around NSB. Even his biggest fans are finding it hard to swallow this shítty turn of events.

To be honest, I hold you, Tom Loeffler, personally responsible for stifling this great fighter's career over the last two years due to chasing fights with guys you know good and well had absolutely no intention of getting in the ring with him.

As soon as Cotto beat Martinez and didn't agree to fight right away, that should've been it. Right at that moment, Gennady should have begun preparing to move to 168, eventually culminating in a fight with Andre Ward. But no.. you ássholes kept holding out for a big payday.

Your greed has fúcked the career of a man who could've been seen as one of the greatest MWs of all time.

At this point, a fringe contender at 168 would be a far better choice than a fúcking WW with one quality win. A fight at 168 would be interesting simply because of the questions that would be answered. How will he hold up against a bigger guy? Will his power be the same? Will his chin be able to handle punches from a SMW? After that, he can fight a serious contender, then go for a belt. That would satisy his fans, as well as many of his ardent detractors.


If you care about Gennady Golovkin in the least bit, please stop this fight and find another opponent. His legacy depends on it.

kudos to the real GGG fans, now we know who are the real fans and who are fanboys, i understand exactly how you feel, i felt the same way for canelo-khan... greenk coming...

I refuse to believe that there were no better options than Kell fúcking Brook.

This fight is disgraceful. It's a half-assed money grab that is going to backfire. Gennady will gain absolutely nothing from this fight.

He will only receive criticism... mountains of fúcking criticism from his own fan base.

His realistic options for early September were; Khurtsidze, Lee, Korobov, Heiland, and maybe Tureano Johnson.

All the top MW's turned him down. The top SMW's are either busy or injured. Lou DiBella told Lance Pugmire that Golovkin/Lara has network issues. Andrade said he wants to finish his run at JMW then move up and fight GGG in a few years....


I relate to what you're going through, I went through it back when they picked Adama. Golovkin's unfortunate pattern is that he always gets painted into corners when it comes to getting opponents.


This is nothing more than a stay busy freak/show type of fight. Brook will likely be more competitive than Geale, Rubio, Wade, or Macklin, and probably even give Golovkin a harder time than Lemieux or Stevens, but his fate is sealed and the result is a given.

However the upside of Golovkin getting a high-profile fight in the UK (and prime time across Europe) does outweigh a stay busy defense vs Khurtsidez/Lee/Korobov. Golovkin beats one of those guys in September, it doesn't do anything towards getting him a fight with Eubank, Saunders, Jacobs, DeGale, or Canelo. But selling out the O2 in London and doing good UK ppv can. He needs big name, credible opponents, generating some good money-metrics vs Brook will go further than another KO vs a decent MW. Consider this fight lemonade at a premium.
