Comments Thread For: Willie Monroe: Golovkin NOT Taking Risks, He Should Face Ward!

[Triple Genius]

Lol @ comparing floyds five divisions of growing in weight naturally starting from super featherweight to a dude at middleweight.

[Triple Genius]

If only Monzon and hagler dared to be great

As GGG has said in the past, Ward is lucky that he had good opponents at 168 in the past and the super 6 gave him the chance to fight them.

I guess you could say Andre is lucky again, because the No1 man and 3 belt world champion at 175, his comeback division, has nobody else to fight but him. I think Ward's luck runs out as soon as the bell goes for round 1 on Nov 19th doe!

right, Ward got lucky LMAO

1) he had the balls to compete in a knockout tournament, and he had to fight the tourney favorite first-up

2) Ward went after Kovalev


Golovkin has never done anything like that..... he would never have signed to compete in a knockout tourney.

GGG never defended his WBA interim title, dickhead. He won the real WBA title in his next fight, but the corrupt WBA downgraded it to "regular" and promoted Sturm to super champ to protect him from GGG. Golovkin's title defence run is as legit as BHop's was.

and THAT is why I consider you to be nothing more than a POS fanboy

[aboutfkntime]

Kafkod lying AGAIN. Why do you just make things up to make Golovkin look better?

He didn't win ****. He was given the WBA regular, when the WBA champion (Sturm) was promoted to Super Champion. A simple google search would provide this info.

Notice how it say (interim champ promoted) under Golovkins name.

I didn't even bother, because I have done all that previously.

And that wasn't to make Golovkin look better, it was to compare him with Hopkins SMH

[trainutz]

Yeah, he should just jump up to 170+ to fight Ward. Makes sense...

[Khalid X]

I don't get this at all.

Ward has outgrown SMW and is at 175lbs.

Golovkin isn't even a big MW and he is supposed to jump two divisions to face Ward?

[stuff jones]

Oh look another jealous black guy calls on GGG to fight someone two weight classes larger than him instead of calling on Canelo to fight someone his own size.

Tired of this irrational ****.

The list of fighters that are pushing for IBF/WBA/WBO Gennady Golovkin to move up in weight class continues to grow. Former champions Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones, JR. have been questioning Golovkin’s reluctance to move up to the 168 and 175 weight class in order to find better opponents. However, Abel Sanchez, Golovkin’s trainer has a different perspective on the matter.

“I don’t know why people are saying that really,” said Sanchez concerning skepticism from some boxing fans, along with active and ex-fighters that Golovkin is avoiding a move up in weight (168 and 175) in order to find bigger fights. “He [Golovkin] still has unfinished business at 160. He’s a small middleweight. All his weights are usually a pound or a pound and a half under the 160 pound limit. He’s never struggling.

Kell Brook weighed more 30 days before, seven days before, three days before, and after the fight. So I don’t know why they’re asking him to fight the winner of [Sergey] Kovalev and [Andre] Ward. I believe two guys that said that was Bernard [Hopkins] and Roy Jones, JR. When Bernard moved up to fight at 175, he had just got soundly beaten by Jermain Taylor two fights in a row.

So he had nowhere to go. So he moved up to 175. So he moved up to 175. When he moved up to 175, he fought a guy Antonio Tarver, who had three losses already. He had three losses on his record, and that’s who he [Hopkins] moved up to fight. And he’s asking Golovkin to fight the winner of Kovalev-Ward, which I think in everybody’s opinion will be the No.1 fighter in the world. The other guy that’s asking him to move up is Roy Jones, JR. Roy Jones, JR. was a great 160 pound champion. He fought a couple of times at 168, and then wound up at 175.

He moved up to 175 like he’s asking Golovkin to move up. But you know who he fought at 175? Mike McCallum. Mike McCallum who was 41-years old, and eights prior to that had been the 154 pound champion, junior middleweight. He [Jones] beats him. One fight later, McCallum retires at 41-years old. So did Roy Jones, JR. move up to fight 175 [pounders]? No, he fought a guy that’s a 154 pounder. So these guys are hypocrites when they say these things, because they’re asking Golovkin to move up to fight the No.1 fighter in the world. If Kovalev happens to win, a guy that everybody thinks is the ‘Krusher’, and if Andre happens to win, Andre in the Super Six looked like a million dollars, if he beats Kovalev, he’s right back on top. So it makes no sense to me. It’s hypocritical to me when people say [Golovkin should move up], and it’s guys that should know better,’ said Sanchez.

Golovkin, 36-0, 33 KO’s, and his team are currently in negotiations to face mandatory challenger Daniel Jacobs for some time in March. Furthermore, Golovkin’s handlers are in negotiations with Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez for a mega-shown down in September of next year. Just as “Marvelous” Marvin Hagler demonstrated during his career, there is no need for “GGG” to move up in weight, especially when there are still plenty of challengers lining up in the middleweight division.

[Khalid X]

Not sure what to make of this, but what I do know is Canelo needs to quit acting like a b1tch and face Golovkin.

In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if we find out years later that Oscar was paying all these ****ty boxers (like Monroe) to come out and make these ridiculous claims.
