Comments Thread For: Canelo vs. Golovkin: Will The IBF World Title Be at Stake?

[Boxing Logic]

Golovkin owns the WBO belt?

You might want to change your sig. I was trying to make sense of it given the current situation but I couldn't. Then I realized it was some outdated thing meant to suggest GGG would duck Canelo to move to 168, despite the fact this whole time GGG haters have been criticizing him for NOT moving to 168. Just like they criticized him for planning to fight Billy Joe, but then said he ducked Billy Joe when he waited for Canelo instead. Just like they said he would duck Jacobs even though Jacobs had already come out and said before that he was the one not ready for "the best of my generation" Gennady Golovkin.

Seeing you guys be wrong so often is getting old just reading it, so I can't imagine actually being wrong that often. Doesn't it get old for you guys too?

You're all over the place with theory... first off I'm a Troll Cop 👮

I will arrest you with some nice fresh green K if you bad mouth other posters.

Now, let's get to the grit of things..

I don't say Golovkin "ducks" unless it's Ward, or for Ward haters they are the "pre-Ward" phase since if it's in the context of Golovkin, it's hard to convince a crowd for such a bout since he's at 175. So yeah, any "ducking" when talking about p4p opportunities, Golovkin is in that blame irrefutably considering he said "Ward not right now he is too much for me..." unless people want to think Golovkin meant "cash" as "too much" is a tad comedic... he said that during the Geale build up / training when interviewed, with Doug Fischer right next to him in the interview you'd think he would've wrote an article about it...

Regarding my sig, well I don't need an introduction as a poster who has made threads to have Golvokin move up and aim for a title.. considering "no one wanted to fight him" or the Middleweight division "was dead," then surely 168 Champions would logically be more challenging than anything at 160.. that seems like common sense, but then you've got insecure fans claiming that " no money" was/is there, as if Wade or Monroe Jr. made more financial sense than top prospects or champs at 168....

Because remember, K2 said anybody from 154-168 wouldn't go 12 with Golovkin. So now industry and fans pressured and trolled about gggs last performance it's time to cash out... hence the sig

Now, your citation fee is to write "Maxi is gay!" and all will be forgiven

Besides Ward is going to have Kovelev problems come June. No gift decision s this time.

Will see about that, Here in America we are in starvation mode for noticeable stars, media, American boxing community and the powers that be are so eager to award Americans with recognition and glory, so that we can have a recognized star much like the UK.

I don't understand the logic of the IBF enforcing a rule on it's own champion when the opponent doesn't have to adhere nor announce in a timely manner to the rule at all, whether they decide to fight for the title or not. It's almost like they, the IBF, are setting up a 'built in' disadvantage to their champion which doesn't seem conducive to a positive marketing scenario for their title,..especially when they force a fighter to adhere to their rules when they participate in non IBF fights and other multi belt fights. They (the IBF) should issue a large percentage in a monetary penalty to the contender to the title fight if they sign for the IBF belt in contract and then renege on their initial agreement going into their mandated second day weigh in.
For this particular fight, I doubt anybody would mind if this upcoming fight with Canelo and Gennady Golovkin was a pure 'prize fight' for the money and bragging rights and forget any belts altogether. Kind of like the match race between War Admiral and Sea Biscuit way back in the day. I mean why bother with the belts at all. GGG owns all but one belt, this fight will already be an unofficial "lineal title" fight, and most importantly, this is the fight EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE!!!!. The Saunders fight will happen later. I would assume most boxing active states that have official boxing rules/boxing commissions which should be enacted as the sanctioning body to this fight and surpass the ABC boards altogether. OK, Wishful thinking on my part.

Great point with politics of American sports. Stuff that gets controlled behind the scenes that no one has a clue what's going on kind of like our government. Like when people have views worth discussing.

It wasn't an issue for the Jacobs fight but YOU and the rest of the Golovkin fans were crying about it.

Thats fine if Jacobs didnt be a dirtball and not tell ggg that he wasnt planning on showing up because ggg had to unfairly wake up and weigh in at 170. Ggg could have not been limited to 170 handicapped him. Another ****** boy with no honor and still got his butt knocked down.

[Boxing Truth]

Dumbass - do you realize at what weight GGG and Ward began boxing? Ward is pretty much at the same weight he's always fought at and GGG is a small Middleweight who maxes out at 160 at his age - he re-hydrated to like what 168-169 against Jacobs?



I could imagine what would happen if someone in person near me said "I'm HitKing from BoxingScene.com"

Id either punch him in the face or buy him a bowl of soup. He is either a piece of crap or semi handicapped

Golovkin had to do the weigh-in even if Jacobs told Golovkin and the IBF he wasn't fighting for the title. It's in the IBF rules.

[Boxing Truth]

Jacobs is 6'1

Your so ******,"he rehydrated to 168-169" lmao! You gstringers are truly baboon's not fit to cohabitate with humanity. Ibf same day weigh early in the morning gigi weighed 169.5 ONLY because he was required for 1st time same day weigh in. Otherwise hed be 175 morning of,& he easily rehydrated to 176 after same day weigh in,or are you RE-TARDED enough to claim he stayed @170? Gigi is a pathetic clown who constantly cries about others being bigger than him etc. Just like his gggroupies,& saying hes a tiny mw,yet this clown rehydrates @ least 15 lbs,& has the size to rehydrate more,he was only half inch shorter than jacobs,& hes as tall or taller than 95% of his opponents. When canelo kos gigi youll say he cheated somehow. And your so moronic you have no problem with gigi fighting a jmw whos 5'9" & never fought @160,or his 2nd best opponent ww @160, yet gigi going up 1 division for ward is too much. Gigi is a hypetrain DERAILED.

You are a LIAR. Jacobs is 6'1 while ggg is 5'10'.

Are you thst pathetic to need to lie in order to try and trick yourself into not seeing the truth about YOU PEOPLE? Weak people like you are why usa boxing is a joke and ****** FIGHTER s are getting their butt kicked by euro's.

[Boxing Truth]

Jacobs is 6'1

And Ward said he'd be heavy weight champ by age 30.

Saying he'd fight anyone doesn't mean he has to do it when they want. Ward didn't jump when he had a chance. Only to come back when he knew GGG was preoccupied.

Not to mention he was not even fighting and wanted ggg to wait 18 months to fight someone no one knew for sure would even be fighting.



Where the **** has ggg cried about other fighters being bigger. Constantly? Na, that's Mayweather dude.

And the second part ofvwhat you said is complete bull****.

GGG is 5'10 1/2 and Jacobs is 5'11 1/2. That's not a half a inch. Jacobs was longer too.

GGG rehydrated on average to 169, and walks into the ring at 170 for Jacobs. He jumped on the scale before the fight dude. Don't make **** up.

And what's taller have to do with size. It's weight classes, and ggg rarely weighs more than his opponent. Even a WW Brook came in weighing more than he did.

As for going up for Ward, it's Ward saying he's not going to 168 and can tardily make 175. But no, it's not too much.

But at the time Ward was not viable when GGG had bigger better fights to make.

Now Ward is a nightmare to make fights with, doesn't show up for the media events, and is nothing more than a dirty azz fouler. Take away him getting away with the dirt bag shiiit he pulls, it's debatable if he could beat anyone top notch. Ask Kessler, Froch, and Kov.

**** Ward!

Jacobs is a legit 6'1. Hbo was lying onnthat tale of the tape. Jacobs is about the same height as ward.
