Comments Thread For: Golovkin's May 5 Fight in Jeopardy of Being Canceled Altogether

[Citizen Koba]

I’m gonna be pissed if he fights spike and not derevyenchenko or Andrade and I’m gonna be pissed if he cancels altogether because he turned down bjs for a date 4 weeks later cause he wanted to fight on may 5th...i agree Alvarez caused this whole situation but golovkin digging his own grave here especially if he decides so sit out till the rematch.. I’m so disappointed in him and his team atm he was probably my fav boxer.....

Honestly sucks all round. From the article it seems pretty much like they're struggling to make an event that will even pay for itself. I'm not generally one to criticise any fighter for how **** turns out, cos I'm well aware that as fans we only have access to very incomplete information, but the move to abandon the date in order to ensure a better opponent appeared to be the smart choice from the moment Canelo dropped out. At the very least contingency plans should have been in place - certainly since Canelo's failed tests were announced.

I know it's unlikely to happen given the $s involved, but at this juncture I think it's time for Golovkin to stop wasting time chasing Canelo and focus on getting on with the twilight years of his career. Derevyanchenko, Saunders, Charlo, Murata - dude wil be 38 by the time that's done and in the unlikely event of his running that gauntlet unbeaten maybe he can think about the Canelo rematch then.

"Sources also have indicated that Alvarez doesn’t want Golovkin to fight another opponent before their rematch can be rescheduled."

SMH... How does this guy have the nerve to have an opinion on whether Golovkin fights or not, after messing up the rematch?

I hope Golovkin throws the dice and fights Derevyanchenko, or cancels the date and fights Saunders in June.

He should be champing at the bit to fight Saunders. It's the next best thing after a Canelo rematch and, while not as lucrative as the Canelo fight, will net him a tidy sum. He's on the bad side of 30 - if not now, when? That resume needs some serious names now.

[Robi13]

This makes the most sense??? I think their throwing names out to get feelers while waiting see how long Pednelo is suspended for. Makes a lot of sense really???

Pednelo? Brainwashed much my man???

That’s because Canelo is a fuucking boss.

Ggg is just his sidekick plain n simple.

why didn't that fight happen YEARS ago ?

when Canelo cancelled, how come Saunders wasn't the ONLY name on Golovkin's to-do list?

WTF ???

how come Golovkin is not moving heaven and earth in search for his "dream"?

this is the THIRD time Golovkin passed on Saunders, no matter how much the fanboys want to spin it

[BLASTER1]

Cmon GGG either fight Andrade or devrynchenko if not then Saunders down the line.
You cant keep inactive to keep to canelos schedule.
Hes the drug cheat who has to serve a ban not you.
I know its ****ed but pls dont keep letting pednelo dictate your legacy.

If O'Sullivan is really the best they can do for May 5 then maybe this is for the best
