Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Golovkin Should Take a Risk Like Other Champions Do!

Bernard Hopkins fought in middleweight for almost 50 fights before he moved up in weight. Where was the backlash. Why didn't Hopkins moved up sooner and take risks. Hopkins should have taken risks as soon as he can.

You mean like fighting Roy Jones early in his career?

Exactly. I am not a big Floyd fan, but saying guy didn`t take risks is just crazy.

It's not just crazy...its hatred and racism...for anyone and anything black that excels...

Yep, for a guy who's the king of cherry picking to talk about risk. There are plenty of risky fighters he didn't fight even in his own weight division at certain times in his career. Mayweather is in no position to preach to the choir. GGG aint cherry picking nobody. The problem is he's being cherry picked by other fighters. If Mayweather was still fighting, he for sure wouldn't cross paths with GGG cause GGG would annihilate him. That's a risk Mayweather would never take.

Yes the fighter with the best resume of the last 20 years took no risks.

Roy Jones and Hopkins were both in the same weight class and Jones at the time was 21-0 an up and coming fighter and Hopkins has a perfect record with 1 loss. So it's pretty evenly matched in terms of record. So what was the risk? What are you talking about.

Bernard Hopkins also should shut his hatch to tell GGG to go up in weight. I would actually love to see GGG fight Hopkins at 168 and knock Bhop out and send him into retirement for good.

Yes the guy with the best resume of his generation, giving some advice to a guy with the weakest resume of any top 3 rated P4P in history.

The guy who brought Marquez from LW to WW in a catchweight he didn't make?

The guys who fought Canelo asking for a 152 catchweight?

Or the guy wasn't man enough to fight Pacquiao till he saw Pac was on the down side? Remember this:

Floyd: "Pacquiao has to leave Arum or Bob to make the fight"

Floyd's groupies: "seems legit"

Floyd: "Pacquiao needs to join Showtime and Haymon"

Floyd's groupies: "seems legit"

Floyd: "40 millions no PPV revenue for Pacquiao"

Floyd's groupies: "seems legit"


And let's not even talk about 750ml of IV fluids.


.....
Short memory right?
