Comments Thread For: Loeffler: No Reason GGG Can't Fight 6/10, Canelo in September

[Metho_4u]

What if a cut happens doe? We can't have that happening. Golovkin isn't allowed a fight inbetween. Actually, he might sustain a cut during sparring for the Canelo fight, he shouldn't be allowed sparring in preparation for that fight.

If Golovkin does not abide by these rules then he is ducking.

What's if he gets more herpes? Never know

[Eastcoast]

If the fight gets signed quickly why risk it? They had no problems holding out for the Jacobs fight yet they cant do the same for the biggest fight of their careers

Gomez wasn't even talking about injuries, he was just talking about not having enough time for promoting. It's a garbage excuse b/c a Golovkin/Saunders fight builds more exposure than Golovkin going on bunch of interviews, that'll he'll likely be able to do anyways after Saunders.

Canelo/Gomez should be using the the Golovkin/Saunders fight as a promotional tool where he'll fight the winner.


If GB was so bound and determined to fight Golovkin, they'd be fighting him in May instead of saying September.

Saunders as a promotional tool? People don't even know who he is dude.

If that's what he meant, promotion issues, then he's right look at all the promotional events they've had for Chavez/ Canelo while the fight is still a long ways from happening.

Fights sell fights.

Canelo's own promoters - Dela Hoya & Hopkins fought separate fights in June '04, that lead to their big fight in September '04. Nobody knew who Felix Sturm with his WBO title or who Robert Allen were.


And with Canelo fighting in May, that mean there's a month's difference between Canelo/Chavez & Golovkin/Saunders, they're not missing out. They probably wouldn't even start promoting Golovkin/Alvarez til 2-3 weeks after Canelo/Chavez, which means they'd only miss 1-2 weeks of this promoting.

[Graz]

Boxing fans have known this all along. Oscar and Golden Boy looking for reasons to duck once again. I think it's time for Canelo to grow some balls and give his fans what they're asking of him.

[Fabes88]

GGG should not put his June plans on hold for Canelo. They messed him around plenty of times. In fact the way things are going GGG should have 2-3 fighters lined up for June. Have Lemiex and Heiland as backup for Saunders.

Exactly. Putting your plans on hold and waiting for other fighters is exactly how we got the brook fight which people were crying about despite it making perfect logical sense

[BucaRican]

Man I really hope he gets waxed on Saturday. This premature looking beyond a opponent is down right disrespectful of Jacobs. Loffer hopefully you will be eating your words come Saturday.

And they literally had to rob sturm to make sure Oscar won the fight. That example further illustrates the point of why they shouldn't fight.

They had no problems bypassing an end of the year fight to make the Jacobs fight.

LMAO @ anybody defending Canelhoe or GB.


just LMAO

If Golovkin looks vulnerable against Saunders, it'd probably make the Canelo fight even bigger. It would be viewed as more even fight.


They did have a problem waiting on Jacobs, that's why they're saying they're not waiting on people anymore. Golovkin's upset he only fought 2x last year b/c of Jacobs & Canelo. He waited on Canelo negotiations during the 1st quarter of the year costing him a fight.


I can't understand why fans would be opposed to Golovkin fighting in June and again in September. He has no history of injuries, and BJS isn't expected to beat him. Yeah there's always a risk of injury, but that happens just as often in training. Canelo had his Clottey fight canceled from training injury.
