Comments Thread For: Loeffler Confirms: Golovkin Would Have Fought Degale at 168

We sure do, we have some of the best stadiums over in Britain and we fill out much larger stadiums for boxing fights than most of the Yanks do on a regular basis
If you followed boxing you'd know us Brits are propaaa fans of the sport only rivaled by the Mexicans and Puerto Rican.

Read it again rainman, I said "over there where your hero comes from"

Like I said one time before, K2 and Golovkin wanted to fight Brook to begin with.

No way you come out of negotiations with Eubank and then lock up a fight with Brook in two days.

That's the fight that they wanted all along.

that is exactly right.

the smart posters know whats up

Just a week-or-two earlier, when asked why the Eubank fight had not been signed..... Hearn made a big song-and-dance about how long it took to negotiate a fight...... it takes weeks/months Hearn proclaimed, with contracts being continually re-written, and copies having to be forwarded/signed by numerous affected parties, etc.....

..... but suddenly, Brook is signed in 24 hours

Team Golovkin are taking the fights they want, and are passing on the rest.

It is so obvious.

They NEVER have a genuine reason to avoid the fights they are avoiding...... they ALWAYS have a pile of silly excuses, none of which make sense.

None at all...

Which is why it's so hilarious to see people continue to defend Lil G's actions.

Robby..... props, but come on..... they used that "anyone from 154-168" line for FOUR YEARS.....

..... they never once mentioned "only focusing on middleweight" until they were being questioned about that 164lb catchweight demand on Ward...... before that it was "anyone from 154-168".....

..... look, as soon as Ward started sniffing around they started puling that "only focusing on middleweight" bull****.....

Andre Ward isn’t in the picture in the near future..... it’s still in Golovkin’s best interest to stay at middleweight so that he’s in position to fight the other top middleweights and junior middleweights than it would be for him to move up to super middleweight.....

but as soon as Ward moved to 175, they started calling out Froch again.....

They are taking the fights they want, and they are passing on the rest..... just like every other fighter.

Actually, not true..... not like every other fighter..... just the timid ones.


he wants a big drama show, but doesn't want any actual drama..... the dude is a pacifist.

The thing is at 34 years of age how long does this drag on for its becoming a charade, I just want to see big fights. Why are so many fighters concerned about preserving undefeated records?! I can't wait for Ward vs Kovalev, to me that's a fight boxing fans deserve and both fighters have undefeated records on the line. After Brook GGG needs to stop f***ing about it needs to be Saunders, Jacobs, DeGale at 168 just something worth watching. With Ward at 175 GGG shouldn't be scared of the 168 division anymore.
