Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer Slams Hopkins Over Kovalev-Ward Demand

[Gentblue]

What B-Hop is doing is trying to get people to not want Canelo v GGG. He knows if Canelo will fight GGG, what does he mean "if" it doesn't happen.



Ward is already trying to sabotage a potential GGG match up by saying he'd make zero CONSESSIONS. It's lame, Ward will never be more popular than GGG.

Ward has never fought out of his backyard. When he fought Froch, it was in America. When he fights Kov it's in America.

3/4 the time ge won't fight out of Oakland.

He didn't fight Froch in England because Andre Dirrell is his friend and we saw what happened to him there. Now onto locals... Froch was in Atlantic City( 2931 miles from Oakland) which is east coast Vegas or money venue. Kovalev is in Vegas(557 miles from Oakland) and Vegas is Mecca.... Ward said he would rematch Froch In England but not in Nottingham( Frochs hometown) but London( 128 miles from Nottingham) see hone country but far from hometown also lots of Russians in US so Krusher has got company. It's not Wards fault he was born in the right country and really fighting in Kazakhstan?.?.? GGG himself has only fought in his home country 1 time and it's kinda ruled badly if I recall, so GGG is a bad example too bring up hometurf to essentially a nomad boxer ...

Also Why should he make Concessions 50/50 is fair. GGG doesn't want too make any for Nelo( which in on GGG side on)so why should Ward. Also Ward is closer too GGG then GGG is too Nelo and if he beats Krusher and gets ok PPV numbers GGG can't demand crap.

Hopkins knows his middleweight defense record is about to get beat

What are you talking about? Gennady Golovkin is only six defenses into his run, lol. No different than the current Daniel Jacobs situation, every one of Golovkin's title defenses before the Geale fight, Felix Sturm was THE WBA champion, with Golovkin only being a secondary beltholder.

Bernard Hopkins defended a full world championship 20 times

[Marvlus Marv]

Sadly, Bernard's ring IQ is about 10 times that of his general IQ. Pretty much everything he says is rooted in either ******ity or bigotry. I'd rather see Hop as a trainer than be employed as Oscar's second pair of lips.

Don't forget Froch just fought 6 months before in Atlantica City. Ward has never fought in AC before or after.

That Andre Dirrell fight was a straight ROBBERY!!! And Froch should of been DQ'd orbat least some points taken off. But NO! The ref took points from Andre??? I guess the fight was too close and Froch needed some help.

[Shadoww702]

Dirty Sanchez ALWAYS brings up to anyone that will listen GGG knocked Kovalov out. If he did it then, then he should be able to do it again. Kovalov would destroy GGG.

[BillyBoxing]

Lol, brilliant. I'd steal that for my sig if it wasn't occupied. Hopefully, someone else will.

Oh, and good points all around. He's playing loose with the facts. And, sadly, the ggg mind****** feel they have to serve Sanchez as well. Independent thinking is dead.

Indepedent thinking my arse...

Redd, Abel is horrible and talk sht, but FOR ONCE, I kinda agree with him.

Obviously he's exagerating facts (Hopkins never was soundly beaten by JT but controversialy beaten).

However, he's mainly right, Hopkins probably thought about moving up because he lost the MW title and had very little leverage (once the four belts lost).

Different situation...

And also, Ward/ Kova are IMO on a very different level compared to Tarver back in those dayz.

Kova is a A- fighter, Ward a A+ fighter.

The winner of this fight will be regarded rightfully as the number one P4P fighter in the world.

Tarver lost to Glenn J before Nard then Dawson, Kova and Ward woulda ruined those guys, Tarver never was a magic man but a B fighter IMO

That's not WHAT Bernard did, I mean moving up to LHW in order to fight the P4P king.

That's what Marquez did moving up to WW to fight Floyd.

Different situation again...

[My Low Place]

Haters will hate but everything he said is factually correct.

is it also true that bhop could just be daring ggg to be greater than him and team ggg is objecting to it??

im pretty sure that means he wont be doing a cw... can u blame him he's fight krusher meanwhile ggg if fightin welters...ward doesnt need ggg..he has a stacked lwh division while ggg has a pretty bad mw division

[skinnystev]

popkins is scared Triple GGG is gonna break his record for consecutive middleweight defenses if popkins had any balls he would fight Triple GGG at 160 bareknuckle in red square at high noon for his last fight and no question it would be popkins last fight

[CatchAndShoot]

Hopkins knows his middleweight defense record is about to get beat

And the funny thing is, no one called for Hopkins to move up, and fight the p4p top #1 fighter of a guy 2 weight classes above him, and that he's too dominant to stay at MW, and there's "NO ONE" at MW.

But instead, he was lauded for his brilliance at MW, and he should continue to defend his belt at MW, and continue his streak.

Wtf is up with that??? Why the double standard? And same thing with Hagler. And the crazy thing is, hes naturally much smaller than those guys, and there's absolutely no debate on that. You might say, Hagler is, because he routinely came into the ring at 158, and 160, but are you ****ing serious? The guy was as ripped as a mini bodybuilder, and LITERALLY looked like he didn't have an ounce of fat on him at that weight when he was in the ring, and even out of fight shape. The reason for that is because he had Bruce Lee type work ethic, and was obsessed with working out, and staying in extreme shape at all times. Just like Floyd. His work ethic was second to none, frfr. He was a freak, and obsessed with fitness.

Such a BS double standard, because the vocal minority in boxing, which are mostly black people, have a hating ass bone to pick with his ass, because God forbid a Korean man dominate black fighters, Mexican fighters, Puerto Ricans, and everyone else.
