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

[MisanthropicNY]

Sanchez is a clown PERIOD... Hopkins is right if he and Canelo don't fight move the f%@k up what's the problem. Triple G and his camp find it ok to fight welterweights and jr welterweights but makes excuses poor excuses at that on why triple g shouldn't move up now. If kell jumped up why can't golovkin smh. He'll lose bad to both Ward n Kovalev anyway. I think Gilberto Ramirez will bring it to him but he probably don't have the name or money as they would most likely say. SANCHEZ IS A BIRD

You aren't very bright are you? Kell Brook couldn't make 147 anymore and was even struggling to make 160 in the GGG fight. GGG made weight easier than Kell - but Kell is going to 154. GGG doesn't even weigh 175 on his fight nights - it makes no sense to move up two weight divisions because anti-White racist haters online feel insecure to know that Canelo and Floyd both ducked GGG and Floyd ducked at 54' where he was undisputed champ.

I'm a fan of boxing with or without Golovkin, and I'm not white or eastern European and I'm sure that all the great boxers love to watch Golovkin also

"Who's the WBA champ now Golovkin or Jacobs?"
Both! Super WBA world champion and WBA world champion...

And only ****** boxing fans believe that Sturm was better than Golovkin...

I can tell you are not "White or Eastern European" - because you are so pressured into admitting that you aren't as a disclaimer to have a valid opinion about anything. I can also tell because you aren't quite bright enough to even post a reasonable comment - Your post should have just said - Jacobs is ducking GGG and he's not the real Middleweight Champ - who gives a fk about WBA, WBS etc. It's all BS.

My English is not good as you see so I will not waste 1 hour by post for satisfy your level of requirement, but if I should not post here because of my bad english; no problem I will understand

"Jacobs is ducking GGG and he's not the real Middleweight Champ"
I'm a fan of Jacobs too so I'm happy they are both world champions! for pro boxers a world title is a dream and a accomplishment so good for Jacobs! and he beat Quillin in fashion! great boxing!

"Jacobs is ducking GGG and he's not the real Middleweight Champ"
I will not talk like this because it will be pretentious, i'm a boxing fan not a pro or pro elite boxer
And Jacobs is not supposed to fight Golovkin soon?

I think the idea of GGG facing the winner of Kovalev vs. Ward is ridiculous! 175 is much too big and strong for GGG. However, GGG fighting the winner of Jack vs. DeGale, or Zurdo Ramirez is definitely a statement fight. If GGG unifies 160 and 168, he an ATG in my view! In fact, if GGG didn't ever face Canelo, and went up and beat the winner of Jack vs. DeGale, and Zurdo Ramirez, he's an ATG! Unifying 160 alone is not that impressive because of the lack of talent currently in the division! Hopkins was in the same situation, waiting for Oscar! Defeating Oscar didn't make him an ATG, it was what he did after that made him GREAT!

Why does bh try make people believe gig has to move up to equal him?
Ggg is already doing as well as bh if gig continues what he's doing. Winning is name of game which ggg is doing.

Gggg isn't losing to wonky Wright types.

Abel is like bad karma for GGG. Not that good of a trainer, arrogant and talks a lot of nonsense. Pretty much the exact opposite of Golovkin the fighter.

Hopkins wasn't soundly beaten by Taylor. And to say he moved up to fight a guy with three losses as if that's some sort of criticism is like criticizing Manny Pacquiao for moving up to fight Marco Antonio Barrera. Hopkins moved up two divisions and fought Tarver, who was the lineal champ at 175, a consensus top 3-5 pound for pounder and was coming off a very impressive win over Glen Johnson. He was a huge favorite over Hopkins.

I don't see any reason why GGG should move to 175 but Abel Sanchez would do well to stop moving his lips.

"...the winner of Kovalev-Ward, who would be the number one fighter in the world, undefeated."
How long before Sanchez backtracks on this statement??

You are thinking he won't give Ward acclaim? It's all temporary. If Golovkin were to beat Canelo Jacobs and Saunders he'll probably say Golovkin is No. 1. Or if Gonzalez clears out 115 he'd probably say he is no.1. But as none of that can happen before the end of November then yes, temporarily at least, Ward Kov winner will be the number one fighter.

I've been waiting for an opportunity to bring up something i've been dwelling on for months, and I think this is a good forum to present my concern. Hopkins and many others, including myself, have been asking GGG to make a move to 168, 175, etc. If Andre Ward is not just defeated by Kovalev, but beaten, it would be critical to his legacy, that he come back to 168 and face GGG! If Kovalev beats him, Beterbiev probably beats him, and Stevenson probably beats him! There's a big difference between losing and being beaten! Sullivan Barerra lost to Andre Ward. Julio Chavez Jr. was beaten by Andrezj Fonfara! If Andre Ward is beaten by Sergey Kovalev, he will NEED to face GGG, and will not have any of the leverage he had in 2013, 2014, or 2015! I wonder if Bernard Hopkins would agree?

Ain't going to happen. GGG is already 34 years old. He's gonna stay at 160 no matter if his fans like it or not. To be honest though 168 isn't that sexy of a division it's currently better than MW but MW has some guys the could EASILY make 160 like both Charlo Bros. Andrade, Canelo.

I really like Golovkin as a fighter but Ramirez is all wrong for him. He would have absurd height and reach advantage, especially reach. I G ever beats Ramirez I'll be amazed and impressed. Jack and DeGale would see G in with a better chance.
