Comments Thread For: Jacobs' Trainer Would Like Gennady Golovkin Rematch - Next

[ruedboy]

why would Cotto fight Golovkin, especially when he's got his own HBO fight seemingly earmarked to be paired with with Ward-Kovalev II replay June 24th?

You add that Golovkin and his camp have also made it clear that they apparently aren't willing to go down to 154lbs for anyone not Floyd Mayweather Jr, and bringing up Cotto as an option is a waste of time.

If the Alvarez fight falls through (which is likelier than folks want to acknowledge, for many reasons), Golovkin's options are slim

Why is Cotto a waste of time? Cotto fights at the end of June and Roach says he wants Golovkin. If the Sept. fight falls thru Cotto vs GGG in Sept. in NY is a good option. Rumor is both sides are talking.
If the money is right, you can forget about all the quotes about 154 etc. When big bucks are involved things written in stone have a way of crumbling quickiy.

How would you know if Wade was heavier than Jacobs, or how close Jacobs's and Golovkin's fight night weight was? Jacobs refused to do a fight night weigh-in, you tit!

Jacobs and Wade have similar frames, the both weighed in at 160lbs on the Friday, and Wade put on so much weight come the actual fight that he had visible rolls around his midsection. lol

I'm still not hearing actual data, as measured by a precision weighing machine we call a SCALE.

Golovkin and his camp have apparently walked away from a $10m+ offer that they've had in hand for some time now, and even then they weren't open to taking the fight at 155lbs against Alvarez.

In what world is a Cotto fight going to manifest with enough money to pay Cotto his money, pay Golovkin what his camp is pushing for, and then convince Golovkin to actually fight well below 159lbs (the lowest he's ever weighed in at as a professional in his decade long career).

How big a fight is Cotto vs Golovkin, from Madison Square Garden, really? Maybe 400k-500k PPV buys?

Freddie may like the fight, but why would Cotto ever choose to give up the lion's share of the take (Golovkin's camp are about the money, regardless of the media picture) to step into the ring with a man who has refused to go down even a pound for anyone not named Floyd, and will likely walk into the ring 15lbs heavier than him, when he could rather have his June fight, see how Marquez's return ends up going, and then split the pot with Marquez (a guy who is similar in size to him), for a similar size event (Cotto vs Marquez, with the Mexico-Puerto Rico rivalry meaning what it does to older fans, both guys being name fighters, and the fight being competitive, likely does the sae 400k-500k PPV buys range)?

You may be right. We'll have to wait and see.

Jacobs lost the fight unanimously. He wasn't robbed; he tried, but failed to win the biggest fight of his career. Now his team is screaming immediate rematch. Why? Are you saying that your fighter wasn't ready for the biggest fight of his career & needs a do-over? Well, why the hell wasn't he ready??

[Gillie]

If he doesn't get the Canelo fight next the Jacobs rematch should be next. Saunders is fighting in July so he's not available and they already turned that fight down. They ain't trying to unify so ain't no reason to keep that IBF belt and fight Johnson. Jacobs is the only acceptable fight if they don't get the Canelo fight.

It's the only fight that makes any sense if he cannot get Canelo. If the Canelo fight doesn't happen in September, I don't think it will happen at all.

im not, just dont see the need for watching a fight when there was a clear winner. can say im race baiting or whatever but i swear pretty much every fighter/poster who said golovkin lost is black

It was a very close fight and there is not a better fighter at 160 then Jacobs..why not rematch and settle the score?
