Comments Thread For: Roach: Golden Boy Protecting Their 'Cash Cow' From Golovkin

Everybody is trying to keep both fighters relevant for a fight that ain't happening until 2018 or until one of them loses a fight. People are sure losing interest in this one!

Now just imagine what GGG would have done to Smith and then you will see why the diva wants nothing to do with him.

I'll fight Froch and Chavez Jr. @ 168, but Ward @ 164! I'll fight Ward @ 168, if he's still @ 168 in 2017! I'll fight Mayweather @ 154, but I won't fight Canelo @ 155! Canelo is fighting Khan @ 155 because he's "business man, i'm not business man." I'm fighting Brook @ 160, and he's my toughest challenge ever! 8 figures is not enough money! GGG and K2 are the worst!

Exactly! No difference in the strategy at all! "If Ward is at 168 in 2017, we'll talk..."

Ward said it him self the fight would not happen, dont you follow boxing???

Obviously you are the one who doesn't follow boxing! Roc Nation made an offer in 2015, to fight early 2016! GGG turned it down in 36 minutes! Now that Ward has gone to 175, he says the fight won't happen! Kids should be quiet when grown folks are talking! Now go to room and do your homework!

Roach "I didn't think he would do that good in the fight with [Miguel] Cotto. I think he's becoming better and better with each fight. His people are doing a great job and I think he's becoming a threat.

I wish I knew what he meant by "becoming a threat". A threat to whom? He has already won world titles in two different weight divisions (even though IMO winning a middleweight one fighting at 155 pounds was a sham, but it's still an official thing).

It's strange what some people in the spotlight say sometimes. Canelo is not "becoming a threat", he is already an established player in today's professional boxing. The "becoming a threat" phrase would have made sense when he just defeated Trout. But now, he is for real. Had he said "becoming a threat to the top middleweight contenders, such as GGG and the other big names there," then that would have made much more sense.

[just the facts]

Sending an offer for a fight a year down the line then screaming duck when it doesn't get signed is not a strategy K2 have ever used.

I wonder where Oscar got that idea from?

And I wonder when g string is actually gonna fight a quality opponent.

Kicking 35 in the arse and not one quality opponent yet and no concrete plan to fight one just excuse after excuse.

[Marvlus Marv]

You need glasses. And Canelo just turned 26 so he still has a lot more he can learn.

Is he 26 yrs old or 50 fights old? And when is he going to make that level up, then? I believe you've already seen the best of Canelo, which is very good, but I don't see where he gets that extra ring IQ from at this stage.

[Marvlus Marv]

you dont know boxing so you wouldnt be able to tell he becoming more confident in his abilities you can tell by the way he fought cotto and liam smith.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up. I forgot he got a tight win over the legendary middleweight Miguel Cotto and of course the stoppage of the amazing Liam Smith. I wish I knew boxing like you.
