Comments Thread For: Golovkin: After Beating Canelo - A Rematch or WBO Belt

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33KOs) is not ready to give up his dream of unifying the entire middleweight division. On September 16th, Golovkin will take part in the biggest fight of his entire career, when he defends his IBF, IBO, WBC, WBA world titles against Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Why does Floyd always have to duck everyone good? GGG vs Floyd for the lineal middleweight title, as well as all four belts, May next year, after GGG beats Canelo in September and Saunders in January, would be the biggest boxing match in history, bigger than Mayweather-Pacquiao, bigger than Mayweather-Mcgregor. GGG can't make 155 anymore but Floyd at this point is bulkier than he's ever been, and 159 would be a good weight. Or Floyd could really try to outshine SRL and SRR and just go to 160 to prove all the haters wrong for once and for all time.

But that is the fight. Why would they leave a 5 million PPV sales type of fight, and global fight, on the table? Floyd fights sell when people think he might lose. Against GGG, he would be the underdog for the first time, and he might not only lose, but he might get KTFO. 10 million people might pay to see that! It's also history at 160. It also compares favorably to what SRL did at the end of his career, legacy wise. It has everything for both GGG and Floyd, in terms of money AND legacy AND history. And GGG is just as well liked as Pacquiao, even more so now that Pacquiao's personality has become rather predictable and repetitive and he's past his prime.

GGG would be coming off the Canelo fight, making him a big star as well. And the hype of Floyd signing to fight a true KO puncher at a bigger weight would reverberate throughout the entire sports world. You might think the fight is big now, but wait until it's actually announced. They have no idea how big that fight will spread until they actually do it. It will take on a life of its own. Mayweather-Pacquiao was already marinated big before it was announced, and in fact it didn't really spread out from that point because boxing fans were actually warning people that Pacquiao was old, and it wouldn't be that great, but people still bought it based on what they hoped it would be.

This is a different animal. It might not be as well known now, but if they make that fight, boxing fans will actually be telling people to buy it. They will talking it up, not down. They will be telling everyone they know that this is the real fight of the century, the fight to end all fights, what Pacquiao-Mayweather should have been (minus the hand speed).

I just can't believe they would leave that much money on the table. That could be boxing's first ever billion dollar fight. That fight would be huge everywhere. GGG the biggest global boxing star if he beats Canelo vs Floyd the biggest American star. Best knockout fighter in boxing vs best defensive fighter. Floyd would still have the reach advantage like he always does. How can they not make that fight? I don't get it.

He gave up his chance for all the belts when he signed to fight Canelo, Golden Boy aint letting him get anywhere near the WBO in a long time. They'll immediately start negotiations with the Saunders/Khurtsidze winner to face Lemieux, Saunders has to do back to back mandatories. Win or lose Canelo will be fighting for the WBO before Golovkin gets a chance.

Unless Canelo beats Golovkin, Golden Boy can't afford BJS. They already tried to get him over to the States once and he turned them down, said they offered him peanuts.

If Canelo beats Golovkin, then Lemieux is Saunders mandatory. Golden Boy will let Warren promote Lemieux/Saunders.

That scenario sets up Canelo/Lemieux for all the belts in May

After I read your first paragraph I knew you was a ****ing idiot so I didn't even bother reading the rest of the garbage you wrote...

[BigStomps]

you don't get sooooo many things

Yeah that guy is a ****ing idiot with all that nonsense he wrote...
He wants a 40 year old Mayweather to move up to 160 when the few times Mayweather fought a junior middleweight he came in a few pounds below the weight limit....
Talk about ****ing morons on this site!
But your absolutely right.. There's so many things that idiot doesn't get!

[techdude69]

Yeah it is a huge money fight and it would tap into the casuals but I don't think gayweather would risk it even though its a massive payday. I mean even if there was a catchweight of 158 there's no way Floyd would be able to keep GGG off him for 12rds. People would buy into the hype to se Gayweather KTFO.
