Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Derevyanchenko is Ordered By The IBF

[JuniorTorres720]

As a fan it's easy for me to spout my opinion. Golovkin on the other hand has the opportunity to make millions off a high profile fight. But, as a fan I'd want Golovkin to forget about Canelo. Stop letting Canelo and team dictate your next move. GGG could have unified against Saunders in the summer of 2017 but Canelo's team didn't want him to "risk injury" by taking another fight before September. The ball is in Golovkin's court, will he chase an elusive rematch with Canelo or just do his thing for once and unify the damn division?

so what ?

Golovkin is a veteran pro, those guys are not

there is no excuse whatsoever for Gennady " soft-touch " Golovkin refusing to fight his mando Derevyanchenko

Golovkin did not take care of his business, so why should those guys feel sorry for him?

He didn't refuse to fight Jacobs?

He may not have a choice because this doesn't fall under the category where a unification bout takes precedence over a mando. He either fights him or forfeit the title. However, I believe this is a case where Tom Loeffler is looking to cash GGG out. He knows that he only has but a small window of good fights remaining.

There was no reason to keep this date at the cost of your belt. GGG ain't mexican, moved from MGM because his camp knows they can't sell tickets in Vegas with canelo. Loeffler clearly wanted to cancel the date but his client is a moron and forced the issue. The obvious solution was move the date to June fight your mandatory or saunders. What a backfire

People have been stringing GGG out the last few years with 'negotiations.' He's 36, he wants to stay active. Who knows when he actually would have fought if he cancelled the May date. Anyway, GGG Canelo is happening in September and Dervy will get step aside money.

they will do EXACTLY what they have always done

avoid the mover/spoilers, and chase cheap-shine against subpar opponents who will be "available"..... until they get that Canelo payday

rinse, wash, repeat

Bravo IBF.
Fight Canelo if you need to. Just dont hold the belt hostage.
Others have to eat too!!!

For all you know Vanes may turn this whole thing upside down !!!

I got no problem with GGG wh0ring himself out for the canelo money. But for years making shyt fights refusing to move weight for better fights all claiming I am not a businessman and claiming it's about the belts is getting exposed now that he was trying to hold belts hostage and back into big money fights. Now he's doing the same thing sergio, cotto and canelo all did when he mocked them. He's a hypocrite and just trying to cash out for retirement.

he has avoided Saunders THREE TIMES

if Golovkin is stripped of the IBF, why will he need the WBO ?

that fight will never happen

Golovkin has shown NO interest in Saunders..... if that fight has not happened by now, it never will

Dude what are you on? Lol. I like Saunders and when he takes himself seriously he may be able to beat GGG. But why would GGG duck Saunders? Makes zero sense logically. It's his second biggest money and exposure fight. And gives him a chance at his last belt. Think man! Come on

??? Jacobs Monroe both moved? Both got beat. Weren't avoided. What the hell are you talking about lol? Who has GGG avoided? And don't say Lara or Ward. I want real examples, back it up with facts.

He didn't refuse to fight Jacobs?

1) they did to Jacobs EXACTLY what they did to Saunders..... they low-balled him with "Quillin money", and then ran off to fight a NO-HOPER..... with NO counter-offer

2) the WBA ordered that fight..... otherwsie, Jacobs would still be waiting

3) Team Bullshht did everything they could to kill that fight, including calling for an early purse-bid knowing that Jacobs would refuse 25%..... that fight only got signed well-after the 11th hour, and only because the media started making it obvious that Team Bullshht were trying to kill the fight

that took MONTHS, the fight had to be deferred at least once, causing Golovkin to miss a fight date/payday..... which makes the delay for peanuts, look pretty absurd

Golovkin literally had to be dragged kicking and screaming

Derev has already refused step-aside money..... he wants his shot

Dibella also stated, that they will not accept step-aside money
