Comments Thread For: Froch on Golovkin: Time To Step Up in 2017 - Fight Andre Ward!

Look at these Golovkin fans, they're all so against the idea.

BWaHaahaHA!!!

MW is one of if not the weakest division in boxing. Boxing greatness is proven by resume and even Golovkin fans admit his is garbage.

are these fighters "weak" or is GGG simply great?

and if GGG isn't great, why has canelo avoided him like the plague?

saying a division is weak is a cop out. the earth didn't suddenly not have talented fighters that happened to weigh 160 pounds. the division has a dominant champion. that doesn't mean the challengers are weak, it means the champion is strong.

A bit rich coming from a guy who had the chance to put things right but instead said no !

If that's what you're happy with so be it, I prefer competitive action, evenly matched fights where the fighters generally aren't pre determined, that's why I was so excited to see Ward vs Kovalev and Postol vs Crawford. With GGG I've not been excited about one of his fights since he fought Geale, I think that's when I really thought to myself this guy is too much for 160 he needs move up to really challenge himself.

if he's not ducking anybody. if he's facing the very best in the division. what is there to complain about? the action isn't competitive because he's a great fkn fighter dude.

this idea that fighters should move up to "challenge" themselves is silly. it's like saying klitschko should have tied an arm behind his back to challenge himself.

The fighters Golovkin beat have done nothing. His best win moved up and got dominated by Groves. MW is weak.

nobody was saying middlweight was weak when cotto & canelo were in the division. they both blatantly ducked GGG. the division is only "weak" in the sense that star fighters are avoiding the division because GGG has the belts locked up and nobody wants to face him.

No it isn't because Klitschko fights at heavy, GGG hits like a light heavy and would not be out of his depth at SM and LH.

Lil G was PETRIFIED of WARD!!

klitschko fights at heavy & GGG fights at middle. saying GGG hits like a lt heavy and therefore should fight lt heavies is like saying klitschko hits like a gorilla and therefore should fight gorillas.

y'all are whining and crying because GGG is so much better than everybody else at his weight. far beyond the dominance shown by anybody else in any weight class.

Hopkins wasn't considered elite until Trinidad moved up to fight him in only his 2nd fight at mw. Then he became even more popular after delaHoya moved up to fight him in also his 2nd fight at mw. Point being, Ggg is likely already great but won't be considered so until a big name faces him. Unfortunately the 2 biggest names are Canelo who doesn't have the balls tito and Oscar had, and Ward who is now 2 weight classes above him.
