Comments Thread For: Loeffler: As Soon as Golovkin Has a Fight, Everyone Wants Him!
Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) is full steam ahead with his preparation for a fall defense against IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-0, 25KOs).
Such as? I don't think Eubank, Saunders, Jacobs are willing to fight him but haven't heard them talk any **** since GGG-Brook was announced. GGG wasn't willing to fight Ward but haven't heard Ward say anything about GGG in a while. They are trying to get credit for being willing to fight DeGale despite not offering him a deal and yet DeGale hasn't been saying anything about him either.
Maybe I missed something as I'm not on twitter but no idea who they are referring to. Canelo has been criticising GGG-Brook but has also openly stated he's not willing to fight GGG so not like you can accuse him of saying "we'll fight him" either.
If anything Loeffer is guilty of exactly what he's accusing others of. He never at any point mentioned wanting the DeGale fight before signing for Brook, never tried to get Hearn to agree to it. Instead they announced the Brook fight and then when it was too late "oh yeah we would've fought DeGale".

Back in June DeGale said he was willing to fight Golovkin, but he was also in negotiations for the Jack fight back then as well.
I'm glad Loeffler & Sanchez brought up DeGale, now that fight's out on the table for December when they look for his next opponent.
What is taking DeGale Badou so long to be announced? If Golovkin can't get Canelo, Saunders (probably fighting each other) Jacobs (hopefully WBA orders this) then DeGale in England would be a big fight after this one. But I don't think the winner will be ready by December unless they announce the fight soon.
