Comments Thread For: Hopkins To Golovkin: Make a Statement, Fight Kovalev-Ward Winner

[nycsmooth]

Everytime this ass opens his mouth he makes a bigger fool out of himself...GGG could probably drop down a wt & or 2 Fraudverez''s new division, 155 and fight all the pretenders there...GGG has more options than he has time and he needs to clear out MW 1st...

B-Hop you're not fooling anybody, you're trying to get him off of your "Investment" so you can preserve Canelo and make some money since that is really the only fighter GBP have at the moment, they just can't afford for him to lose right now and I wish they would say that instead of all this BS lol

Translation: Oh please don't suggest my hero take any chances. I like him too much for that. Just keep feeding him cans and pushovers with the occasional semi-tough challenge.

so what?? he doesnt have to weigh 175 to fight at 175..great fighters have done it over and over again..They say the man hurts heavyweights in sparring and beats up world class cruiser weights..

Friend, you're wasting breath on yet another GGG fan-aholic. Starting to believe GGG is a cult leader, the way his fans clamor to defend him at every turn.

No one is saying that there's anything wrong with staying at 160! I just compare GGG's resume vs. Sugar Ray Leonard, Julio Ceasr Chavez Sr., Pernell Whitaker, Roy Jones Jr., B-Hop, Mayweather, and Manny Pacquiao. I can't put him in that company yet! Honestly, a defeat of Canelo still doesn't do it for me! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

That's fair enough, but let's see how the rest of his career unfolds.

You can rank him fairly once he's retired.

Bernard's record didn't look so great at 34.

Okay so by that measure surely Kovalev and Ward should be fighting heavyweights

To break the mould and "be great" you need to go two weight classes above your natural one

GGG natural 160lber >>> 175lbs
Ward natural 175lber (who campaigned at 168) >>> 200+ lbs
Kovalev natural 175lber >>> 200+ lbs

You GGG fans and your deflectorama. Funny stuff there friend.

[Derranged]

That would be great but its an unnecessary risk. He has two good fights waiting at 160. After that he should move to 168.

True, but by 34 Hopkins had already faced Roy Jones Jr., John David Jackson, and Glen Johnson. Not bad for a brother whose career started in prison!

Lmao.. Like how hopkins made a statement by moving up after beating tito and fighting roy.. Oh yeah that's right, hopkins priced himself out and ran from roy

[eco1]

by the way, Bhop didn't make a statement, he just got his arse kicked by Kovalev

[casheddie]

GGG and his fans are content with him fighting in one weight class entire career without one meaningful name on resume

you fuckin asswipe, GGG could be legendary if he beat Martinez but no he said I don't want GGG. Then he could've been great if Chavez jr. didn't walk away from Arum and the contract. Then GGG could've got a meaningful name if Cotto didn't give him the step aside $ or threaten to vacate.

Then Quillin didn't want the fight back when he was undefeated cause he compares himself to mayweather. Then GGG tried to be great and fight the best fighter possible (Canelo) but Canelo vacated and thats GGG's fault also.

So when Golovkin offered Billy Joe Saunders 2 mil for the fight in the UK and he said I need 4 mil, that was GGG not wanting to be great?

And his fans probably wanted him to not get those fights right?
