Comments Thread For: Loeffler: A lot of Hard Work, Patience For Golovkin To Land Canelo

[SteveM]

Tom Loeffler has done the best managing job of the decade to take a guy from Kazakhstan who can barely speak English and turn him into a household name.

Exactly. I've said this many times before and yet K2 still get criticised for moving him slowly. He was undoubtedly avoided on his way up and only now are other fighters coming out of the shadows after they see some weakness.

You fight anyone willing especially all the belt holders. You win all the belts you watch the A side melt down to JM to avoid you And fight night he weighs light heavy against JM and welters moving up to JM

Name all these beltholders he fought? He only fought lemieux who was vacant ibf gifted undefended strap. Jacobs had the baby wba glorified challenger strap that was gifted to him & undefended vs an actual top 10 foe,So those 2 names are the only non welterweight "championship" experience this guy has & both those guys were very flawed non p4p fighters. But jacobs was at least the 1st top 5 in division fighter gs faced & he failed miserably to impose himself like he always has on c listers.

Amazingly the A side who fights at 175-180 is shamed by his own fans he has to fight GGG. Now he can amazingly make 160

??? If you get on the scale and weigh 154 you weigh 154. Come on Khan last time you said Canelo was 6'1" and weighed 215 lbs...

Yep. Willie Monroe Jr had never gotten paid $100,000 before.

Don't forget the "life changing" $6,000,000 but was really only $1.5.

Guy is a genius.

GGG did it the way real men do it if the A side of boxing is in your division you don't wait around for a mandatory that may never come

Real men like GGG are few and far between in BOXING today. The Haymon system of lies and cowardice is the norm especially on the usa.

Wrong. Jacobs was mandated to get a 25% split according to the rules of the WBA. Ggg people had to overpay JACOBS and allow him until march to get ready instead of fighting in Nov. JACOBS got every advantage and more money than he deserved and still got his ass dropped in front of his home town people. Guy was a coward.

Beltholder s who said no to ggg

Sturm
Geale
Sergio Martinez
Cotto
Canelo
Eubank

Ggg fought
Lemiuex Ibf
Rubio. Interim WBC title holder
Geale WBA


Cant fight the wbc champ who held the belt hostage. Saunders wouldn't fight neither would Eubank.

All the while the biggest chump in BOXING deontay wilder is fighting guys that you normally fight in your development time not for title defenses. Biggest joke in history the LDBC and Haymon

You listen to his promoter say he is making fight marinate get everyone's interest which is fine but A Side invites you to the ring keeps calling you out saying what a real Mexican does but he does this for 2 years before you fight

Canelo is a fake Mexican. Pure drama just to delay the beating.
