On paper, Vanes Martirosyan is a legit opponent for Gennady Golovkin; the fight is not
Bernardo Pilatti ESPN
May 2, 2018:

This fight should not be taken seriously, and I don't consider it a legitimate bout. It's not Golovkin's fault. GGG had so little time to pick a new opponent after Alvarez withdrew. Still, these kinds of situations in which a new contender shows up, even with the right amount of preparation, always carry a risk, no matter who it is.

The reasons for Golovkin turning this into a mission to find an opponent to replace Alvarez instead of canceling the date and moving on are unknown. Regardless, it sets a dangerous precedent, and, above all things, it trivializes the credentials of a sport in need of strict authority that places fighters' health as its utmost priority. There are time frames that must be respected, no matter what.

It is true that at the end of the day, professional boxing is a business. However, allowing it to stage exhibition bouts such as this one, with an opponent who will be nothing more than a supporting actor, threatens the legitimacy of this business and its own credibility.

Vanes is isnt even a warm body at this point! I would of preferred the MexiCAN over Vanes.

You watch he's gonna have so much ring rust he's gonna be leaking oil in the ring.

Vanes is not a 1 hit quitter. Or a puncher. Those are the guys who can get short fights and have a slight chance of winning.

Vanes is a boxer who uses timing. And being RETIRED for 2 years is a timing KILLER.

Vanes gonna look, slow, uncordinated ,and silly before he gets KTFO!!!

that is not at all why canelo vacated dude lol

WAS main reason

[Shadoww702]

GGG by MURDER in under 7 rounds.

Vanes doesnt have the size or power to keep ggg off of him.

I wont be surprised if GGG TKO's him in 2 rounds...

[Shadoww702]

lets look back at the posters who where mad at canelo for dropping the wbc belt and not fighting his mando:

How much is Vanes making, for taking this azz whooping? Please say at least 6 figures!

its the same group

how about that GGG and ward are not in the same weight class so ggg doesnt have to move up to fight him cuz he has belts to defend against mandos and all the belts doe

[Shadoww702]

No, that's a fact. WBC stated the winner had to fight GGG. Gennady even allowed the Khan voluntary fight. After that, he said no more. And the WBC enforced it and gave him a deadline. So he knew before the Cotto fight if he won he'd be obligated to fight GGG. He knew before the Khan fight, if he won, he'd be obligated to fight GGG. This was not sprung on him in the last second.

I almost would side with him if fighting GGG meant fighting for peanuts, if GGG was some no name high risk guy, if fighting GGG wouldn't guarantee him his biggest $$ fight ever. But, none of those are the case.

He was going to trial the SAME week as the purse bid was announced. Plus the bid was a 55/45 payout.

You do know the trial was about who was Canelos promoter right??? I know your one of those slow types that would buy a bunch of things before his divorce like a house and sports car but normal ppl wouldnt. They would Wait until AFTER.
