Fuck, it's 3 1/2 weeks away. Agree to fight Derevyanchenko or give it up.

"Finding a TBA ..on short notice"

Reality TV show starring GGG.

Any fighter with a pulse need not apply.

[ThomasJK]

Two things GGG needs to do immediately.
#1 Fight Dev for the IBF mando and get that behind you. Dev wants the fight and Andraide is full of ****. **** it, call Andre Ward and see if he can make a catch weight non title fight. At least that would sell!!!
#2 Fire Tom Loeffler!!! He's making you look like a God Damned fool. He's just as much as a greedy whore as Sulaimon is for the potential Canelo rematch. I hope they suspend the Canelo a full year. Let boxing move on without him.

the problem is clearly..... 1) Golovkin's insistence on fighting in May..... 2) Golovkin's reluctance to select a good opponent

not sure how either of those things are Tom's fault ?

Wonder why not fight his ibf mandatory?

The guy has only had 12 pro fights FFS!

Tbh I doubt golovkin wouldn't take it, it'll be down to $$$.

it doesn't matter who golovkin faces,he wont get credit for the win,,,i mean let's say it's andrade,anybody really think if ggg wins people will call it a great win? they will say andrade didn't prepare well,,that he needed time for the biggest fight of his career and that is true,,it doesn't matter if andrade has been in the gym all this time,he needs a plan,work on things to do against ggg,,any fighter will be going in on short notice

That exactly what will happen.

Tom is the promoter it's his job to get the opponents. Golovkin's job is to stay in shape and be ready on fight night. I know he has to give the green light but I think he knows his rep is on the line if this falls through. Sanchez said they need a credible opponent and he's closer to Golovkin than Loeffler.

I don't know AFT

Sometimes I think the people behind some of todays boxers are the ones running things. Not the boxers themselves. How often do we see GGG with a full time translator by his side? Using someone's ignorance against them for personal gain is an abomination. The fact that his grasp of the English language doesn't shed a favorable light in his direction. The question is,....Is GGG REALLY aware of what the hell is going on? Does his so called friends, promotors, and/or coach truly have the best interest for his career,.....or their pocket books. Or does he have a bunch of people telling him what he "should" do (albeit for their benefit as well) and agrees to them because they have got him this far. I'm not trying to portray GGG as the innocent "babe of the woods" persona,....but thinking GGG is in an office like Apollo Creed picking a random name like Rocky out of a list of who's who's fighter in Ring Magazine is an unrealistic notion itself. He knows Dev is the mando, but I'm not sure it is he who is saying no. But the "powers that be" who are looking to make to most profit off of him. I don't know man.

Oscar didn't green light Spike O for may 5 just to **** with GGG camp so they just strung them along . I bet in September he also lowers GGG % in the rematch . if he trys to fight BJS for the WBO belt Oscar will steal that match as well . Tom should've advised GGG better instead of letting him and Sanchez sounding off like TMZ . We might not see those to in the ring until next year so this suspension hurting GGG financially and physically .. all over some tacos or bs supplement !!
