Why doesn't GGG want to fight his mandatory, derevyanchenko?????

[bluebeam]

how do I know who's really available or not and what the money is like? there's still a ways to go between a guy saying he'll step in and the fight actually coming off. short notice situations like this rarely end up producing good fights. I think they should just scrap the date personally...I aint buying no ppv against those guys.

Martinez vs Williams 1- Sergio stepped in on 3 weeks notice

Lewis vs klitschko- vitali stepped in on 3 weeks notice


both classics.

[Diego Rodriguez]

If it can happen then Derevyanchenko. Most interesting fight that can be made. Risky for both guys. I doubt it will happen, probably Sullivan. Whole thing is a real mess.

BTW if GGG faces Derevyanchenko do not expect the Golovkin haters to give him any credit for a win. That's how they roll.

[Curt Henning]

golovkin aint fighting anyone that has a chance of going 12 with him may 5th

they need someone they can knock out so they look like world beaters again...so people can remember the lil g they thought existed before he stepped up to high level comp

[BoxingIsGreat]

Because Derevyanchenko fought on March 3rd, and will probably want a full 10-12 week camp if he was to face GGG, who was intensely training for the Canelo rematch, so will be in top shape come May 5th...

Why don't you make topics about the other fighters ducking GGG. We hear GGG ducked this and that guy, but did he actually duck? Or did they duck when offered the fight for real...

The guy says he's ready and isn't using any of those excuses. Why are you speaking for him? Tell us the real reason.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Because no one knows who he is, most likely. Match-up would be awesome though. Both guys come to fight.

Who knows who S***** is in the US or anywhere, except maybe for the hardcores in the UK? Who knows the Mexican kid? Who knew Wade or Proksa?

Some GGG fans specialize in excuse-making.

He said he wanted to fight GGG on may 5th


So did andrade but they would rather face some 21 year old mexican who hasn't even fought at 160

Ok saying he wants to fight is one thing. Send Golovkin a reasonable offer stating the purse split, ring size etc. Etc. Andrade has spent more time calling out other fighters than actually fighting.

[Bjl12]

I wish this was the fight that would get made for the 5th.

Saunders, Charlo, Jacobs all unrealistic unfortunately.

Sullivan is mismatch.

Andrade is interesting but what are the chances of getting a deal done with HIM on such short notice?


Derevyanchenko is a mandatory and will probably give us the best action fight of all the possibilities. His team said they would be interested in being the replacement.

Might as well get the mandatory out of the way...cmon Loeffler, make this fight happen

Crawford and Loma don't belong on your list with those other goons. Those 2 can actually win via boxing and don't need to rely on cherrypicking or PED's for knockouts.

Rest of your list...yawn

Why are you kids all speculating when nothing has even been announced? There is a reason you are forum trolls for life and not promoters.

Know your place kiddos.

What makes derevyanchenko the bogeyman? Who's he actually beat?
