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

[Raonic]

Ward is obligated to fight Kovalev and might retire before then. The Canelo fight might already be in the works by the time Ward is free for a fight.

Damn. I wish Carl would shut up about Golovkin now. He's starting to remind me of that dickhead Mayweather.

[AdonisCreed]

Golovkin fans are pathetic. The make all these claims of how great he is, how he'd beat Ward etc and then make every excuse they can muster for him not to fight. They know he isn't what they say he is.

That's very true lol

View polls it's obvious Cotto and Canelo ain't competitive for GGG, I'd rather see Canelo vs Cotto again, GGG needs move up to give genuine fight fans truly competitive fights. When a division is devoid of any real opposition the logical option is to move up but money is motivating GGG to hang around.

Only fan boys desperate to see GGG continue facing the likes of Saunders and Heiland are attempting to justify the titles are actually meaningful, everyone knows who the real no.1 is and everyone knows why Canelo won't face GGG.

If GGG fan boys want their hero accepted as truly great he needs to move up and beat the best at 168 and face Ward, I suppose at a catchweight to make it competitive even though it is widely touted GGG hits like a light heavyweight.

Canelo beats GGG but Cotto is a done fighter. He's so shopworn I dont think he beats any top fighter.

froch really starting to embarrass himself now. Why wasnt he so vocal about golovkin when he wsa an active fighter?

[ThatDude44]

GGG doesn`t need Ward fight. he can just stay where he is and wait on: Canelo, Charlos, maybe Andrade, Saunders. Or he can move up to 168 and fight Zurdo, Degele..And what are the options for Ward? GGG? Anything else? I suppose he does not want to move up to cruiserweight and face Usyk. he doesn˙t seem to be keen on Kovalev rematch either..

For Ward, Kovalev rematch, Stevenson and Joe Smith.

About Time -

If GGG breaks Hopkins' record, GGG's best win will be Canelo.

N'Dam will still be interim champion regardless of who wins between GGG & Jacobs. Again, you have no idea what you're talking about.

The title that will cease to exist after 3/18 is GGG's super title.

GGG has the top 3 belts in his division. He's willing to take on all comers. He's facing the #1 contender in his next fight and trying to get Canelo in the ring and trying to get the WBO champion in the ring.

There is no middleweight he is ducking.

Your complaint is that he isn't fighting in other weight classes. Your complaint is ridiculous. He makes 160 easily and holds the top 3 titles at 160. Why should he leave the division he performs best at? Especially when staying there forces Canelo to face him?

Yes ,he's facing solid comp in Jacobs and it only took him 35 years.

[original zero]

who was he refusing to face in his division? he won the wba title. went after the WBC champion (cotto). cotto ducked him, so he beat the interim WBC champion. then he went after the IBF champion. then canelo ducked him, so he became WBC champion. now he's fighting the consensus #1 contender in the division because the WBO champion ducked him.

the GGG haters can never point out who this solid competition is that he avoided. they just whine that GGG is so good that it's not fair that he fights at the weight class he makes easily. that even though he easily makes 160 and could even make 154, that he should move up to 168 or 175 to put himself at an unfair disadvantage.

it's ******. he hasn't even cleared out the division. once he takes jacbos' belt, once he destroys canelo, once he gets the WBO belt, etc, he's going to naturally grow out of the weight class anyway as he gets older and i'm sure he'll move to 168 and try to do damage there. but the idea that he should leave his weight class because he's too good for it is ridiculous.

Canelo beats GGG but Cotto is a done fighter. He's so shopworn I dont think he beats any top fighter.

So why the interest for Canelo vs GGG ? I don't perceive it as the least competitive, Canelo vs Chavez Jr. will be as Cotto vs Canelo was. Take GGG out of the middle weight division you've a ton of competitive fights to go around, Jacobs likely establishes himself no.1 but he's no challenge to GGG in what is barely a deep division. It's obvious why GGG is hanging around waiting for a cash out fight, I don't begrudge him that chance but I don't want to see an exciting talent in Canelo damaged when he has an exciting future in the sport, he has a solid ten years in him yet what has GGG, 2-3 tops ?

I have interest in Canelo-GGG because its good fight that i have Canelo winning. Neither guy has really have a coming out party in my opinion, this would be it for both of them. I think Jacobs competes with GGG and has a real shot to win. I'm not gonna Jacobs and Canelo off of the scrubs that GGG has fought. Jacobs has power just like GGG has power.
