Comments Thread For: Roach: Golovkin May Need To Jump To 175 For More Recognition

[Vnecaxa]

The winner of Ward/Kovalev against Canelita will be even bigger! Canelita walks around 180 lbs begging for a belt, any belts, except MW.

Golovkin fine right where he is... 168 or 175 don't have the marquee matchups that 160 does..

Canelo
Eubanks
Saunders
Jacobs

Way more lucrative than degale, Ward, kovolev

I fuucking hate triple bum fans like yourself

Because he brings facts and you root for a entitled diva that biched out gave up his WBC belt not to fight GGG. Mr. 200,000 pay per views but im the A side . I give you 10000000 mil flat fee take it because I might ***** out on you again no one tells me what to do lol gtfoh with your ****** comments. I dislike ****** dumb mfers you. Who would rather see Connello punk out after talking all that **** that Connello was talking in the ring to GGG. Then disgraces himself and the Mexican race by not making the fight happen hiding behind Oscars skirt.

When Ward moves up again GGG will be ready for 175.

[Johnny_Roa]

Love it..... GGG future wins and your tears will be juicy, real juicy
And yet not a single chicano could not f-ck with GGG )))))

it's okay, you'll disappear from here as soon as Bumlovin loses. FACT.

Wtf you talking about? People want triple G to leave MW division because it's crap and we already know he the best there, challenge yourself his opponents at MW are trash

You and many others want GGG to leave the MW division because you are scared of him going one up on Floyd by knocking Canelo TFO without draining him first.

hahahaha. Roach brings up GGG find a way to involve Floyd.

Hey, I thought only "the demographic" asks GGG to move up.

[Gillie]

Saunders is responsible for this. Give GGG the fight and therefore the belt so he can move up. Then we can see him get 'challenged'.

GGG is already considered the best middleweight in the world. Winning Saunders Wbo strap will not affect that. He should go up and fight Degale until heading back down to fight Canelo for his money fight. Peace.

Bro, there is no way that Saunders and Jacobs are more lucrative than Kovalev and Ward.

Roach isn't asking for GGG to move up, he say's "he may need to, to get recognition" That's not the same thing.

He also says that GGG is the best P4P boxer in the world, but let's ignore that part.

Roach is living in the past. He knows that no boxer ever moved up to face the best in a higher division, in order to gain "recognition" They did it for money!

In Roach's head, recognition and money are linked in the sport of boxing. One follows the other like night follows day. Not any more.

SRL was paid $14million to move up to MW and face Hagler, and that was back in the 80's! GGG would make less money for fighting the winner of Ward/Kovalev than he would get for Canelo, or for BJS or Eubank Jnr in the UK.

And let's say, for arguments sake, that GGG challenged the winner of Kovalev/Ward and beat him. He would get monster respect and recognition from hard-core boxing fans and boxing pundits, but it wouldn't make him the kind of cross-over star that SRL was in the 80's, and it wouldn't translate into huge purses for subsequent fights.

That's because the kind of fans that GGG, or any fighter, need to win over to become another SRL, or another Floyd, or another Manny, don't know who the **** Ward and Kovalev are!

Sad, but true.
