Comments Thread For: Roy Jones: If No Canelo, Golovkin Must Take a Risk and Move Up!

[jose.sooto]

I've said this before and i'm going to say it again. GGG knocks tha fck out ANYONE from 147-160. It doesn't matter if the guy can stick & move a little. At some point during the fight Gennady is going to hurt them and stop them. It's been like 3 years of GGG doing the same exact thing, sometimes fighting even smaller guys. At this point i am not impressed one bit by his KO streak. The only way he can catch my interest again is by proving that he can keep it up at a higher weight division.

I think is the only option left to GGG, it's clear that neither Jacobs or Saunders wants nothing to do with GGG and besides them there aren't money fights for him, he should move up and beat some people there, he is 34 and his style doesn't help his longevity.

Yea, I keep saying that chasing Sanders is a waste of time, and waiting on Canelo is a trap because Oscar is not going to make it happen soon. If they can get Jacobs NOW, go for it. Otherwise, they're kidding themselves.

Either something happens now, or it's going to be no-hoper MWs for the rest of his career because he's not going to move up at 37 with his face- first style.

I'm a die-hard RJJ fan, but this time he's dead wrong !! Roy himself is still criticized for not cleaning out divisions. People claim Mayweather got out without fighting Thurman, Bradley, Spence, Khan, and Brook so he's a ducker. Now we've got GGG wanting to clean out the MW division to become the first undefeated, undisputed, unified champion in years before moving up and you guys are complaining !! Let him handle the MWs first. At 34 it's a little late to be moving up 2 weight classes when he still comfortably makes MW. Once he has all the belts maybe he can try 168. Can anyone please tell me when was the last time a MW held all 5 titles (WBA, WBC, WBO, IBF, IBO) at once ? We are on the brink of witnessing history so just sit back and enjoy it while GGGs still fighting.

I'm not sure why Jones is getting some hate for this, he's right in what he said. If the Canelo fight doesn't materialize then GGG should move up really. It's clear Saunders doesn't want to fight GGG and it doesnt look like Jacobs does either so his options at 160 are pretty limited.

I would like to see him move up to 168 if none of the Canelo and Saunders fights arent possible to fight any of DeGale, Jack or Smith.

'the Lion (GGG) does not turn around when a small dog (dummygraphic) barks'

Roy is a legend so he has his say yet he made very poor choices in his life and even became a Russian citizen. His actions in life are based on his unhealthy relationship with his father: he tried to prove to his father that he can do impossible yet never received the dad's approval and love. Later in his career his actions started to point towards self-destruction, he said he wants to die in the ring and I think he has meant it. His suicidal mindset is what caused him money and reconciliation with himself.

As for the rest detractors, they are low-life dummies or love/hate based on the skin color (also dummies).

lol. skin colour. these theories are getting old. you can't stop the wave of true boxing realism! More people are catching on to the K2 circus train as it was exposed long ago. you just need to know the politics in selling hype and biased media. it's nothing new. you can only go so far with it that it becomes ridiculous, like saying ''Tyson never dominated his division...''

Many here have turned to Alvarez, including black fans, how is Golovkin more favorable in skin colour theories when Alvarez can play off the ''white'' appearance more appropriately? is the theory that ''blacks'' or ''hispanics'' don't like asian looks?

oh wait a minute...I just had a revelation. the #48 bandwagoners were many pinoy fans. I wonder if asian favoritism has crossed to Golovkin due to Kazakhtani attributes.

[SplitSecond]

I do believe Golovkin should take a hard look at the deals he could get higher up, he can probably make a pretty penny vs Degale(although I don't know how much of a following he has), that would be a great fight.
