Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: If No Canelo, We Need Good Foe For May 5

[drew1830]

The claims that GGG hasn't fought anyone is funny if you actually know anything about boxing. He's the most ducked fighter of his generation. Very simple explanation.

[MDPopescu]

I'll watch GGG's fight the following Saturday.

Loma/Linares
Beefy/Ali
GGG/Hopefully Andrade/Charlo/Sergiey

May 12 at MSG looks OK... but it can't be vs Charlo or Sergiy (because they are Al Haymon fighters and they simply can't fight on a card which is co-promoted by ODLH)...

I know it won't happen but Zurdo/GGG on Cinco De Mayo would do solid numbers.

... of course it won't happen...

Derevyanchenko and Andrade make sense

... Andrade only (see above)...

36 and STILL counting. Must SUK to be a pro SOO long and your best RESUME is 2 controversial wins once you stepped up your competition. GGG ain't getting in the Boxing HOFame unless he buys the ticket.



and

I notice you mentioned 2 controversial wins, even though it's a win and a draw. Either way, no shame in winning competitively vs those 2 guys and he's getting into the hall of fame based moreso on his mw title defense record. Hey, Gatti is in the hof so ggg definitely will be.

Charlo hadn't got a hope in hell of beating Golovkin. His power won't phase Golovkin. G is a better boxer. Charlo has been down before. I don't like his chances against Golovkin. I was hoping G would fight Charlo next to shut up a few people on this forum but Charlo is already committed to a fight.

the reason I pick charlo is mainly because I think ggg is slowing down at age 36 and charlo is young,big ,strong and athletic. 2-3 yrs ago, he wouldn't have had a shot. 2-3 yrs ago I also think canelo would've gotten stopped vs ggg but now he's able to be competitive.

He's slowing down a bit true. It's easy to remember the fighter from the past, memory plays tricks. I think he still has enough left but it's inevitable he will lose at some point.

I'm not sold on charlo at 160 yet his upcoming fight wont answer any questions I have about him either. golovkin is getting up there in age but he still has his power and he's got a pretty good chin of his own. charlo struggled with a shot trout.

It’s funny how some claim Golovkin has fought “36 bums” in a row. He’s fought anyone in the division with the balls to face him. Highest knockout percentage in the history of the MW division and remains undefeated. So if he fights Charlo and knocks him out will he be the “37th bum” or will he get credit for knocking out the only legitimate MW?

He would get full credit for facing Charlo. He get's full credit for the Canelo and Jacobs fights as well. The problem is people believe he lost the Jacobs fight and didn't look great in that fight.

And also Canelo went the distance and he didn't look outstanding in that fight as well. His two big fights at 160 Canelo and Jacobs they both went the distance and either fight could have went to the other fighter.

Charlo is a beast, younger, stronger, faster, WAY more athletic. Those are problems ggg does not want trust me. I hope I'm wrong and they make the Charlo fight.

You and I both know that if they do go a different direction other than Canelo. It will not be with a BEAST like Charlo.

Believe me if Charlo faced Canelo or Jacobs he would not look like a beast. Jacobs would simply outbox him. The only chance he has against Jacobs is a KO. Anything Charlo can do Jacobs can do better.
