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

[robertzimmerman]

He has the frame to move to LHW




Too small though.

He's 5'10" tall, with a 70" reach.

He makes MW easily.

u got to remember ggg fans dont want ggg making statements like that they would rather he call out 154 pounders and fight ww while chasing unification in a weak division

[Travycat]

Make a statement! Take the focus off our boxer, Canelo so he can save some face. Bernard Hopkins treats boxing fans like they're less intelligent than him, which would be impossible--and I'm a Hopkins fan!

Kinda like how HBO got Ward off of their investment.

I won't argue against that either but people need to call out ALL SIDES not just guys they don't like or guys who are threat to who they like. Yes the "Ward Should Move Up" stuff was to get him away from GGG as well it is all Politics and BS in boxing now

[robertzimmerman]

How dare you say such blasphemous wors Bernard!. Gennady Golovkin is just fine staying at Middleweight fighting 154ers & 147ers. Why should he prove himself against higher weight opponents? that's silly.

Great sarcasm, but Bernard wouldn't fight either of them if he was now in GG's shoes.

[robertzimmerman]

Bernard is the biggest stand up guy in the entire sport, stfu.

Bernard's a hypocrite.

[Jewish-Reptile]

Bernard's a hypocrite.

Nonsense. He's a dude, always has been. He's to sell a product, namely himself. Prime he'd toy with GGG, right now it's a 50/50 depends if it was at 175, id still favour Bernard at 175 now over GGG.

[robertzimmerman]

160 to 175 = 15

What about height, reach and natural weight etc?

[The Comic DON]

On whose list?

Bert Sugar/Sports Illustrated: #3

ESPN: #5

Ring Magazine: #6

oh what the hell I'll throw in Bleacher Report: #3

Somebody should tell those guys Willie Pep can't possibly be that great, he never moved up doe. Ring Magazine ain't credible doe! Bert Sugar DKSAB doe! ESPN is for casuals doe!

Find me 4 with just as much cred as these and I will admit I'm wrong. And The Don never admits he's wrong.

Hopkins was champ @ 160 and 175! Oscar also made him come to to 157 at age 39. He came in @ 156 and got the stoppage! THAT'S GREATNESS! Besides heavyweights, most of the ATGs have been champions at more than one weight class!

There was nothing great about stopping Oscar at 160. Also, if you put his career under the microscope, it's not as great as what most people think.
