Comments Thread For: GGG's Promoter Hopes Canelo Rematch Process is Not Drawn Out

[champion4ever]

I don't like this match up at all for Golovkin. At this current stage of their careers, Alvarez is a lot stronger and younger than GGG. Gennady appears to have lost a step and is on the decline at 160. He no longer has the same snap or pop on his punches or target the body as in times past; Which was a key weapon in his arsenal.

Gennady would turn 36 years old by the time of their rematch commences on the Cinco de Mayo weekend. That's approximately eight months from now and he is not getting any younger; Golovkin that is.

It's time for him to vacate those titles and move up to a 168 lbs and force Canelo to fight him there, where he will be more invigorated.

When Chavez Sr got a gift draw against Whitaker, he didn't go looking for a rematch and the Mexican fans didn't look at him differently and foolishly rate him higher than Whitaker in ATG list. Canelo gonna run from the rematch

He doesn't have to beg. I'm actually one who doesn't care if he fights Canelo again based on this lame decision. Had he won I'd say go for it.

Regardless Canelo needs this as much if not more than Golovkin from a pride and historical perspective.

whoah

you guys painted Golovkin as some kind of killer

but, he could not get a clean win over Jacobs or Canelo

Golovkin needs it more

who's you guys, I don't speak for anyone but me.

So you mean Golovkin got a close win and a controversial draw, hmmm that's never happened to any other elite fighters?

I realize your head in a place I don't want to know so I would expect you to think Golovkin needs it more. LOL!

Commentators on box nation had g winning also

They also had Jacobs winning so what's your point?

[dfflop]

Golovkin got off to his usual SLOW start, losing early rounds in the process..... then he gassed after missing wildly with a TON of punches..... then he forgot to show up in the championship rounds

he was extremely lucky to escape with his belts

Golovkin aint no killer bro, rumors of his greatness have been exaggerated

he got exposed by a mid-level middleweight, then a blown-up JMW

When you lie to yourself, does it make you happy? Or do you do it because you're unhappy?

it could be slightly insensitive of me to quote this preview article from Cliff Rold..... but, oh well.....


For Golovkin, the fight with Alvarez isn’t just about a purse or the limelight. It’s about how he will be recalled. He’s clearly a hell of a fighter and has been a boogeyman in the division for years, even before he landed in the United States in 2012.

Felix Sturm’s team wanted nothing to do with him as a WBA mandatory back when Sturm was the super champion. Sergio Martinez and Miguel Cotto found easier ways to make a living.

Alvarez was even accused of ducking him until he didn’t.

The same way he didn’t duck Austin Trout, Floyd Mayweather, or Erislandy Lara.....

Golovkin..... he came along in a middleweight era that wasn’t particularly deep. Hopkins had the same problem. Some fighters in those positions, unable to find the name opponent they need at their best weight, start moving up looking for riches against bigger men.
The greatest middleweights of the last forty or so years didn’t for the most part. Carlos Monzon never chased Bob Foster; Hagler didn’t tempt Michael Spinks. Hopkins didn’t bother with bigger men until someone took his middleweight crown.
Golovkin has backers who already see him in or near their class. It will be a hard case to make without a win this weekend. .....

Golovkin gambled on the path of the career middleweight and so the obligation falls on him to clean out the class. Let’s face it: Golovkin hasn’t faced a single fighter to date who is likely to show up on a Hall of Fame ballot.
Without Alvarez, no one can take away his belts or amateur accomplishments but try making a case for a fighter as one of history’s best with career best wins over Matthew Macklin, Martin Murray, David Lemieux and Daniel Jacobs. Even with Alvarez it might be tough but in the game of “he beat who was there in his division,” he’d at least be able to say he did that.

They also had Jacobs winning so what's your point?

Point is wasn't just HBO who had golovkin winning. Its pretty Simple

in their prime, the very first time they step up in class.....

nope, not that I can recall ?

he could not get a clean win over his two best opponents, and the other guys he fought were not elite

[mathed]
