Comments Thread For: Golovkin: If I KO'd Jacobs, I Would Not Be Getting Canelo Fight!

[snoopy360]

yea, uh..... nah that's bullshht

because Golovkin had TWO previous opportunities to fight Canelo, and he refused

that is on him

see, this is like the Mayweather/Pacquiao situation.....

people blamed Mayweather for asking, but ignored Pacquiao for inexplicably refusing..... something that should not have been a problem..... which is bizarre

Mr " anyone from 154-168 " ran around for FOUR YEARS talking about fighting Mayweather and Pacquiao, and they specifically mentioned fighting Canelo at 154..... and they offered to defend at catchweight against Gabe Rosado and Kell Brook..... so there is no way Canelo could know that Team Golovkin would kill that fight over weight

and the second offer..... 10 million dollars is a hell of a lot of money man..... and that is one hell of an opportunity to finally get that siberian kid - or ukrainian - wherever he is from, on the world stage against a top opponent because it is obvious that they are struggling to set the PPV world on fire..... and you win now, to earn later, right?

10 million would setup his kids for life, and if Golovkin was 100% confident then he COULD have taken that fight..... so there is no way that Canelo knew for sure Golovkin would refuse that fight

I don't know how you can say "if he murked Jacobs he would not be fighting Canelo"..... because Golovkin could have taken that fight twice already

Didn't they up what they were offering... I'm just saying up and till the Jacobs fight it was that 10 million right? Now after the Jacobs fight how much are they offering GGG? So before Jacobs it was we are only going to pay you so much after its oh well we'll give you so much more... Seems to me they like their chances more and are willing to open up to pay for the chance at the title.

Golovkin and Sanchez have valid points, I don't think Canelo is scared he's confident like Golovkin is. Not sure where Golovkin is at, he can still be in his prime we'll have a better idea soon.

Canelo had to fight Golovkin if he wanted to be taken seriously. His fans were irked over him ducking Golovkin and refusing to bend in the weight issue. He tried draining Golovkin but that didn't work. If Golovkin won the last belt and unified then Canelo would have to fight him or move back down in weight. Canelo needed this fight for his legacy.

he has a better resume than Golovkin already, and he is only 26

where do you guys get that stuff?

Canelo is about as confident as you can get

he does not look/sound reluctant at all

he sounds over-confident if anything, Hoya made the same comment

I pulled this same quote with Grandpa Simposon AKA (itsabouttimetodouche) a few days ago.

The haters don't care. They hate Golovkin so much that the little intelligence they have goes out the window. Golovkin the MW should be fighting anywhere but the MW division.

Here's the thing they hate. You look at Hopkins career up to the Tito fight and Golovkins career up to now and they are in very similar situations excluding the RJJ fight. A fight which was between two fighters who were top notch prospects. Hopkins didn't get his big props until the Tito beat down. He heard the same arguments about the MW division being weak and he didn't beat anyone. There's a reason he opened as a 3-1 underdog vs. Tito and it wasn't just that Tito was considered great. Tito had been exposed by DLH as completely beatable.

They also ignore the fact that Hopkins spent longer at middleweight (roughly 15 years) than GGG's spent as a professional boxer (11 years). It took him 11 years to get Felix Trinidad into the ring and then another 3 years to get De La Hoya. He didn't permanently move up to a new weight class until 16 years into his career.

[REYESdelBOXEO]

Saul Alvarez is going to learn that he should have waited a couple more years before fighting GGG. GGG is going to dominate him.

Jacobs would also dominate Canelo. Both guys would punch the red dye out of Canelo's hair.

Yankee fan , stick to baseball , you might have a clue there. LMAO

CANELO has faced better fighter's already.
Golovkin is not experienced enough, fast enough , powerfull enough plus he has poor defense & he can't fight off the back foot. He will get out boxed & KO'd. Jacobs is no Erislandy Lara , CANELO will break him down and put him down and out, similar to how CANELO KO'd Kirkland , which is the same exact way Jacob's got KO'd by Pirog.

CANELO #1 P4P & Ring Lineal Middleweight Champion soon to be Undisputed

first, you said this.....

then, you said this.....

would you like some more time to get your story straight..... ?

My story is straight. You're taking quotes out of context to imply something that isn't there. Did both guys make decisions that caused the fight to be delayed? Sure. GGG could have rolled over like a little b!tch took less money, fought at a less comfortable weight and made the fight happen quicker. But Canelo could have also negotiated in such a way as to not impose all these conditions on GGG so that the fight between the King of 154 and the King of 160 could have been made sooner. And while they both made decisions that played a role in the delay Canelo is the A-side so he deserves more of the blame. Why? Because as the A-side he can fight whomever he wants. He could spend the rest of his career fighting the Liam Smith and JCC Jrs of the world remain loved by his fans and sleep upon piles of money. If GGG never got Canelo in the ring he'd never have the opportunity to really make big money in a really high profile fight. He'd have to take a much harder road by taking on tougher opponents for less money. In all likelyhood he'd never have gotten to the level he could get to with one fight with Canelo and he'd have a much better chance of losing. So my story is consistent. But at the end of the day who gives a *****. Canelo and GGG held their lines, made the fight and got almost everything they wanted. Everyone wins.

You also forget to mention that was his 3rd weight class. He started as a LHW and LOST. Super MW he didn't look so good. Then settled in at MW. But hey at LEAST he tried unlike GGG.

But it's your lie so tell it how ever you see fit.
