Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: Don't Cancel Plans, GGG Will Fight on May 5

[angkag]

I consider Floyd a Mexican, he even used a sombrero

Golovkin got that covered.



Just need him chowing down on burritos and tacos for the real deal.....wait.......bad idea.

Not sure, I'm sold that even 6 weeks isn't enough at this level.

I mean, I'm sure there's some science to how long a camp could be. I'm just saying - if you're a pro athlete/boxer, you should be in shape basically all the time. It's your job, ya know.

And I just can't imagine why anyone would need more than 3-4 weeks to prepare to fight someone. Like, it's a fight. Just a long distance fight. And going 12 rounds shouldn't be a problem for any pro at all, even on a few weeks notice.

I just don't possibly see what someone would need more than 3-4 weeks to prepare for. These guys at 160 should have been mentally preparing for this type of fight their whole careers.

STOPPED READING RIGHT HERE.......We know you dont know SH|T ABOUT BOXING

I just backed up why he has a strong resume...if you are intelligent enough to disagree, feel free. But I have a feeling you aren't really a very good thinker...

Bleak indeed, on 5 weeks notice its a tough ask for anyone to be fight ready. Saunders said on March 20 that he had medical advice not to punch anything for 4 weeks, and IF that's true, he can't make it for May 5 either.

Those who have put their hand up to date:
- Andrade
- Ramirez
- O'Sullivan (who?)
- Derevyanchenko
- Munguia
- Chavez Jr.

I'm guessing its going to be O'Sullivan given he was in training for GBP on ESPN event for May 4, but hardly a fight to get excited about.

The front runners are O'Sullivan and Munguia.

Well, Andrade has been pounding:

Whether he deserves the fight or not, at least we'd get an idea of Andrade's level at 160 (no I was not overly impressed by his performance against Fox).

Meanwhile, we all can already imagine how Spike's face would look like after the beating GGG would put on him. The only purpose of a fight with Spike would be to re-establish "GGG as the monster" that HBO had created up until the Jacobs fight (Brook to some extent) (yes, GGG is pretty darn good and the number 1 MW).

Yes I've seen Andrade calling for the fight...however his past decisions have me wondering if he in fact actually wants the fight. And to be honest, after his performance against Culcay a year or so ago, all the shine was basically taken off of him. I have no confidence that Andrade would bother GGG at all. As a GGG fan I have no problem with him facing Andrade because he's a good name, but I don't really want to see it because I don't think it's a test at all.

It's funny because I actually remember all of these Charlo fans being all about Boo-boo...but after that performance they jumped ship and got on the Charlo bandwagon lol. Once those guys lose/get KOd they will drop them too and look for another gb hope to latch onto.

And dude - you really think Ward won that first fight?? Come on man haha

??? That's strike 2

He does man...I honestly can only guess that you guess watch Dontae's boxing nation or something. And the guys you listen to just say stuff like 'Lil G a scrub man' 'He ain't faced nobody' 'He ducked Ward man.'

Yet they provide no real analysis as to why his resume is lacking. But of course you guys eat it up because you want any reason to hate on GGG so you can't be forced to actually to any research yourself.

You're scared of what you might actually find out :0 Truth hurts huh? haha
