Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Canelo Isn't My Only Option; Not Just Him at My Weight

[Shadoww702]

Yea yea you heard me. Two mfers who cheated and they still lost, one even got his azz suspended. Take that to the bank. how he got them belts then? one dufus vacated it so how is that kING GGG fault ?

You do know GGG is about to vacate the IBF belt??? Nahhh your too ****** to figure that out.

All good. Yeah I'm just glad Pednelo did what the NAC wasnt doing and caneceled the fight before the hearing and at least giving the other opponent more time.

I also would like to see him apologize to GGG. And start year round VADA testing on his dime.

That would go a long way with his fans. And of course he has to pass the tests.

NSAC definitely dropped the ball. AS soon as he was popped, sentencing should have been in motion.

And I agree. Canelo needs to enroll in 365 24/7 testing for a good year or so/3 fights (whichever comes first). There's absolutely no reason why he should not be enrolled in WBC's CBP after all of this. I mean, what type of PR team does GBP have. That should be the veryyyyy first thing he does.

[Shadoww702]

it is Murata

Golovkin/Loeffler mentioned him 2 days ago..... Sanchez mentioned him independently 3 days ago.....

they have obviously discussed it and are putting in the groundwork

If it's not GGG I believe Murata is the odds in favorite this fall. They're is already talks going back and forth about doing it in Japan

No Clue!!! Either he's taking Promotor lessons from Jay Z and Roc Nation or he's too busy in the kitchen experimenting with different things.

Honestly I dont know why Canelo is still with him? His biggest fight of his career and Oscar was checking into rehab. And now this sht???

[Verus]

Ooooohhh. That's right. I remember that. I always took that as saying "This is a serious fight. This is a mandatory. When fighting mandatories, you have whole camps to prepare for these guys. With serious fights, you're back to making serious money - not just late replacement fight money".

Him making $1m is already a serious pay cut to what he's been making in his last 5 to 6 previous fights.

If HBO would have opened their budget and paid GGG how he's been getting paid (not including the Canelo fight), different story.

I just wish they would have suspended Canelo much sooner. Like, 2 weeks after he was busted. That way the Sergiy fight could have gone on smoothly with no hiccups.

Again, just to be clear, I didn't like Vanes as an opponent. I just don't know who was willing to fight GGG for $200k. We don't know Andrade's price or if they even spoke to him. We know Spike said no to the price. All the other middleweights had fights coming up. And the Sergiy issue was too complicated.

Oh well. We'll see what they do from here on out.

GGG could have fought in June and July with a mandatory or another live body for a bigger purse. There was no compelling reason why GGG had to fight on May 5 -- certainly not for national pride. I might be wrong, but I don't think that Cinco de Mayo is of any particular importance to the people of Kazakhstan.

I've always said that. Biggest fight and Oscar wasn't even there. Oscar didn't even speak on that fight until about a month afterwards.

Canelo needs to go the route of Oscar, Floyd, and Cotto. Fight for yourself. Promoters can still promote your fights if you fight someone in their stable. But, at this point, what value does Oscar add that he hasn't already have? I don't see it.

Yeah. He could have. But he didn't want to. It's Loeffler's job to get GGG his fight on May 5th. And if GGG wants it May 5th, he wants it May 5th.

I remember last year, when GGG wanted to fight in June, Oscar said if he does, then it will kill the promotion of the fight between Canelo and GGG for September. Maybe that was on his mind again this year. I'm not sure. I'm just basing it off of what happened last year.

[keepemup]

I understand his fear. No way I'd want to go through that again. GGG wants to have a longer career to cash in. He knows facing Canelo means that Golovkin will be shortening his career and earning potential. He's already 36.

**** alvaroids. Get Charlo, end the year with bjs. After you bury these 2, murata, then jacobs. If you go 4-0, which I believe you will, fight clenelo alvaroids. End your career against your ibf mando.

lil g will lose the 1st one you mentioned plus already lost to Jacobs & Nelo.

[Tonyu]

Haha, and what game-plan should David have used then?

Saunders did look **** against the Russian guy but he did win in a close fight. Don't forget Saunders was out for some time before that fight either.

No one claims the Eubank fight was a draw. Saunders won it.

You know Saunders is all wrong for Golovkin so will try and rubbish that fight as much as you can. But don't worry, Sanchez is doing the same thing because he knows Saunders is a big problem. They will not fight him next, they won't fight him at all.

BJS win a split decision not majority if you watch press conference after the fight it was mentioned to BJS that he lost the 2nd half of the fight after picking up a early rounds, he then asked one of the reporters who said it was close but a draw could be argued. I've spoke to many boxing fans and its split some say BJS won some EUbank Jr some a draw.

Lemieux kept coming forward looking for the KO but was picked off he never changed his game plan when obviously it wasn't working, should of used his jab more tried to set up BJS. I know why Lemieux didn't it would of been boring a boring fught. Other than this fight name me a fight where BJS looked world class, I can't. Anyway GGG is way better than Lemieux not even in his class and BJS will be broken down and stopped late on.

That is my opinion but let's wait and see when they fight, I think if BJS gets past Murray and GGG doesn't secure Canelo rematch then this could be next Provided he stays injury free but again his injured before the Murray fight which seems a common factor with him and that will be his excuse either to avoid GGG or when he loses.
