Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Only Floyd Mayweather Can Really Test GGG

[BillyBoxing]

The bigger names are big names because they have taken risks. They move up or fight other guys on the other guys terms. Crawford is now being talked about as a future big name because he is a two division champ in dominant fashion and has potential to move up and dominate 147. What's interesting is that you minimize Crawford win over Postol without giving him the same credit for how he won that you do Trip.

It's not about big names...it's about big challenges. Trip isn't there yet. YET.

How do you know I'm not giving Crawford credit?
Crawford showed a classfull P4P performance.

Doesn't change the fact that Postol is a stiff IMO.
He has been in only one world championship with Mathysse, this unification fight never was that big to me.

You act like Crawford is already fighting at 147.

Crawford hasn't taking that much of risks IMO beating a blown up Gamboa and outgrowing 135.
Dude is a SMW on fight night and already was at 135.

We'll see if he's dominant at 147.
I don't think he will, but I hope he proves me wrong, I prefer his style than Thurman, Porter or Garcia's style.

Everybody still wants that Mayweather money

Exactly, they all want that winning lottery ticket!

[r1onnie2]

And Ward who is bigger,stronger,and younger than Mayweather can't test lil G ? its got to be the money.

You know that's what it, despite the GGG fans he or his team don't want any parts of Ward.

[r1onnie2]

Try looking up in weight instead of down cowards.

LMMFAO

Commie GGG always calls out the smaller guys never bigger

Hey GGG why not call out Ward or Kovie or Gilberto? Why pick on the smaller guys like Floyd and Kell Brook and Canelo? Heck Fight Groves. Typical communist picking on the small ones. GGG has yet to beat a real name opponent with size that fights back.

Would make more jokes about the MiddleWelter weight champ here, but you guys seem to have it down pact. Anyone from 147-160 can get it!!!!

Hey, it's at 147-164 I thought?

Can we stop with the fight night weight talk. There are very few fighters who don't rehydrate above their weight division. Besides that type of discussion should only be had when a fighter actually uses his size/weight to wear his opponent down in the trenches. The discussion was about why some are projecting Crawford to a Mayweather level. I gave my opinion. I didn't ACT like anything. Again...call Postol a stiff. Well he was dominated like a stiff.

Brook will put up a good fight for as long as it lasts

Brook is getting seriously underestimated, and I'm not a fan. He has good legs, Crawford/May like foot movement. His problem, besides the power, is getting GGG to turn and not cut off the ring. Size? 147 was getting impossible for him. My complaint was his hen house ways, easy fights at home all the time.

Floyd's too cautious to try beat GGG. Floyd didn't want brook as well so fighting the toughest opponents at all times was never Floyd's ethos.

But brook might test GGG. Maybe Floyd saw something in brook many havent

[Metho_4u]

Agreed, and his management mainly didn't help.

But don't blame "GayLoveKin" and don't **** on his name because the bigger names Cotto, Nelo, Martinez as I said, but also Saunders, Jacobs and Quillin have been running from him.

They ALL openly stated at some points they didn't want to fight him next, except Nelo "but at 155".

Jacobs just stated "in 18 months he would fight GGG".

BJS asking for millions.

Nelo is "weighing himself out".

The level of opposition is one thing, but how you beat them is important too.

Beating Lemieux or Murray isn't great, but beating them every second of the fight is great IMO.

Anyone with a brain knows Golovkin is a special fighter, and there aren't that much special fighters in the game.

Look at the hype, Crawford is being called the next Floyd, P4P number 1 because he beat that Postol stiff (never liked or was impressed by Postol).

The jury is still out on Crawford for me, so I'm not saying anything on that until I've seen more.

Golovkin may well be a special fighter, we don't know that because anyone that is a real perceived threat, he won't get in the ring with. Saunders? He's been quoted as saying he was offered "life changing money"...well a thousand dollars could be life changing money to a poor man, so what does that mean to k2? Saunders asked for 4 million apparently, that's a good amount, but would I call it pricing out? Not really. Lemieux got 1.5 million, and saundes is a much better talent and across the pond would bring in the fans.
Quillin, great guy, but a joke. Rosado got ripped off vs him, and so did someone else I don't recall now... Lee maybe? So it's no surprise that he would avoid him. Jacobs got knocked on his azz by mora, and after that fiasco imo he owes him a rematch.

What all this shows is that this is a WEAK division. If golovkin wanted big fights, why wouldn't he just go down and fight Canelo? I mean that's a step to become great, or known at least. As mentioned, Hopkins dropped 4 lbs to 156 for Oscar, he won, and reaped the benefits. Wtf does k2 not understand about that? He can keep fighting for a few million per fight and have a great life, but he will have no legacy...it depends on what he cares about.

1 thing to consider. He may have a management team, but HE'S the fighter, the one who takes the risks. I say step the f*** up and tell them who you want, don't let promoter and dirty Sanchez make your decisions for you anymore.
