Chris Mannix calling out Golovkin for ducking, says he should be stripped.

[j.razor]

Golovkin promoter, Tom Loeffler, saying Martirosyan—who has not fought in two years, lost his last fight and is not a draw in LA—is more marketable than mandatory challenger Derevyanchenko is laughable. They are ducking Derevyanchenko, pure and simple.

Golovkin deserves to be stripped of the IBF belt. For years we chided champs for dodging Golovkin. It goes both ways. Your mandatory is due, you fight. You don’t, you lose the belt.

Nice to see someone in the media saying how it is.

Someone from the inside of control is going to pull him to the side & tell him speak of this no more or else.......

when chris mannix was slamming ward for his inactivity, and blaming him solely for his general lack of popularity, everyone seemed to know chris then

Very interesting.......

Golovkin why you contaminated Canelo's meat.

Canelo why did you pick lil g's opponent.

The one thing about the IBF is they don't give a f#ck so they WILL strip GGG if they feel he should be & hell even if the public opinion leans towards not stripping him they will lol.

That said I can't fault GGG vs not taking Derevyanchenko on on 3wks notice or w/e. I mean I wouldn't be mad if had made that fight for May 5, but I had few to no expectations they would. You wanna give both of those guys their full opportunity to prepare for the other guy.

So I dig Mannix & respect his opinion far more often then not, but I think he's overstepping sh^t quite a bit by saying this is a duck situation ffs lol. Hell man do we even know for sure if Derevyanchenko was in shape/going to be able to make weight if he had gotten the fight? The last thing I wanna see when we got two guys fighting soon is one of them is in training camp & the other is in fat camp trying to make weight more than stratagize the man he'd be fighting.

Well at least someone in the American boxing media isn’t blind. I want more of these boxing journalists to come out and call it like it is, the sad bit is most of them would turn a blind eye. Do I think GGG is scared? Not really but why not fight your Mando when you stand to lose your belt.

The truth is hurting the remaining fanboys like you and Tom Loeffler who had the nerve to go after Chis after all these years Chris has defended everything Loeffler and GGG has done and called their critics "haters"

So his promotor is his fanboy and me as a boxing fan is a fanboy....lmao i see you

The IBF had already granted Golovkin a voluntary defense for May. Why would they strip him?...

you know the fight is bad when a long time GGG defender and ball washer like Chris Mannix has a melt down on twitter shytting on the fight. LMAO

So they strip him. He is still the best middleweight in the world and the one most fans think of as the true middleweight champ. Stripping him won't change that. Nobody will recognize their new champion until he beats GGG in the ring if he can.

So they are not threatening to strip him?
