Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: We'd Fight Andre Ward, But He Can't Make 168

[The Gambler1981]

Wasn't team Golovkin just saying that "everybody wants to fight Golovkin when he is signed to fight"?

So what exactly are they trying to do?

It's incredible how many don't want to see that fight! I could understand it from a business perspective, but GGG "not businessman!" In the meantime, if Lara is serious about fighting GGG @ 160, I think he should fight Jacobs @ 160 first. That should be an easy in-house fight to make!

I actually like the idea of Lara-Jacobs. I don't Lara has to do it to "show he's serious" about fighting GGG. But its a nice lil fight.

Who did Kell Brook fight at 160 before he got a fight with GGG? Who should GGG fight at 168 before getting a fight with Chavez Jr or Froch?

History

10 years ago in June of 2006, Bernard Hopkins (fresh off a Middleweight title lost to Jermaine Taylor) challenged Light Heavyweight champion Antonio Tarver.

Tarver had just destroyed the legend that was Roy Jones Jr. Hopkins took Magic Man to school in Atlantic City becoming the new champion in the 175 pound division.

From 160 to 175.

Great fighters do GREAT things....

Whats the fuss about. He just said ward didnt have no contract negotiations. But then said there ward wanted a 50/50 split they said no cuz they felt GGG wanted a bigger piece of the pie.

[Metho_4u]

Ohhhh God, are you crying again?

[Metho_4u]

You're confusing (and I suspect intentionally) 2nd and 3rd Jones-Tarver fights. Between them Tarver had two wars with Glenn Johnson and gained a lot of weight for the movie. Then he had to lose all that weight and actually was in Jones's shoes but had to keep his mouth shut, because of that famous remark. What Hopkins did was indeed a great thing, but you over-inflating it.

I wouldn't have a problem with GGG fighting Lara now! A Jr. MW champ vs. A MW champ is cool! I'm just saying that if Lara can't get Andrade, Cotto, or GGG, he should fight Jacobs! That would put him in line for a mandatory shot at GGG!
