Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: Ward, Chavez, Froch 'May' Go 12 - NOT Jacobs!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gennady Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs) is preparing for a tough fight when he returns to the ring on March 18th for a scheduled defense of his IBF, IBO, WBA, WBC middleweight titles against mandatory challenger Daniel Jacobs (32-1, 29KOs).

somebody told him to chill with completely ignorant ****...MAY is still pretty harsh but better than the outright dumb **** he normally says....consider this a win boxing fans..he's learning..

Notice the common denominator in all those names? Ward is half white so he doesnt count. GGG's trainer knows what time it is with his fighter, The African Assassin.

I expected them to be talking up Jacobs, like they do with so many other opponents once the fights are signed and they're trying to sell them as competitive.

Not that this isn't competitive, but I don't think the public sees it as a big challenge. Jacobs hasn't been promoted right and it's an utter failure on the part of PBC. I generally don't attack that promotion but they spent forever "building stars" without actually building any stars.

He has a point, no way Jacobs goes 12

They tried building up past opponents as threats like Lemieux, Brook, even Wade. Nobody believed the hype and they won't believe the hype here simply because Jacobs has already been knocked out and was dropped by feather fisted Sergio Mora.

Every poster in this thread can beat Chavez JR.

the beatings Triple GGG would administer to both slappin' soggy and marty feldman would be unprecedented in the history of boxing

What GGG's schedule should be rest of his career to cement his legacy as an ATG:

March 2017: Jacobs, while Canelo takes Saunders belt in February.

Sept 2017: Canelo to unify 160

December 2017: Jack/Degale winner for two 168 belts

May 2018: Ward or Kovalev, while Gilberto Ramirez collects other 168 belt

Sept 2018: Gilberto Ramirez for final two 168 belts

December 2018 and onwards: mega fights at catch weights for remainder of career. Kovalev, Ward, Stevenson, etc. Maybe Spence is a big name by then fighting as a large 154, and they can meet at 162 or something. Maybe Charlo, Andrade, etc are big names. Get all those fights late 2018 and 2019, maybe 2020 if GGG's still got it, then retire as fully unified champ in two weight classes, with potential wins over P4P fighters like Kovalev, Spence, etc as the cherry on top.

If GGG can do those things, he will start to put up the 1,000,000 PPV buys fights, and more importantly, he will get the credit Abel Sanchez wants even from the haters, finally, and he will go down as perhaps the best middleweight of all time.

I mean, if GGG can fully unify 160 and 168, and beat the likes of Gilberto Ramirez (huge, powerful, fast 168), Kovalev and/or Ward, and Errol Spence, GGG will probably go down as the best middleweight ever, and one of the best fighters ever at any weight. I mean if GGG could actually do that, and retire undefeated with those wins at various weight classes, he would be in conversation for the best fighter of all time. The problem is these big fights take forever to come together and GGG is already getting old. He would have to actually get these names in the ring 3-4 times a year to achieve all that before he slows down way too much.

But, that's what I would shoot for. I think it is actually doable, but they really need to push hard for these legacy fights and call out the duckers. Now that GGG is 35 it might actually be possible to get these guys in the ring, so they should take advantage of that by fighting 3-4 times a year in these legacy fights.

I didn't think PBC promoted individual fighters. As such K2 should be promoting this fight. This is why Oscar wants a flat fee. K2 and Trip would profit off of GBP promotional effort to bring in the casuals.
