Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter on Canelo Talks, Derevyanchenko Situation

Exactly, i don't know why people are so high on DC and why they think GGG is ducking him!! Who DC beats, Canelo is the fight to make!! As you say, period.

Well... Somehow bias people are blaming GGG for Canelo vs Gennady not happening. SMH.

[chubuk7]

I do hope he fight Derevyanchenko if not it will make him look bad.

If I am not mistaken GGG beat Derevyanchenko twice in the amateurs. Regardless of how true that is, this would still be a great fight for fans.

He did? Is there a video somewhere? I have to check it out if there is.

WELL, ITS PRETTY SIMPLE PPL.

Where is the money? Canelo...

Put your place in Ggg's shoe. You have a family to feed and pockets to fill. Where would you go? Canelo of course...Cmon now.

This does not require rocket science.

Hate him or love him he is still the one who is fighting and laying himself on the line here. Not us.

not a lot who believes that Canelo-GGG II happens in September, now that there's "legit" obstacle like ring rust of Canelo, who would certainly be needed fighting O'Sullivan first before facing Golovkin, GBP and Canelo will try to stall by aging Golovkin a little more, most likely Golovkin-Derevyanchenko is going to be in September and Canelo-GGG II in May 2019

That's not what he said before the fight. Before the fight he said GGG wouldn't fight Derevyanchenko for the same amount of money he fought Vanes.

thats right..... and if it was the WBC turn, why didn't they fight Charlo?

[aboutfkntime]

So now he is saying Dervy didn’t want to fight on that date? I swear Dervy said he would replace Canelo for May 5th.

he did

this is what that Team does

they have been been doing this for years

[aboutfkntime]

both statements can be true at the same time, it isn't like what he is saying now contradicts what he said before.

ummm.....

what he is saying now COMPLETELY contradicts what they were saying before

[aboutfkntime]

Other than stopping Tureano Johnson, who Curtis Stevens also stopped, what has Sergiy done? The only reason I can think of to fight Derevyanchenko is because the IBF arbitrarily said so. There is nothing in his resume to support him going to the front of the queue that I can see. Canelo is still the priority for September, period.

thats what we were asking back when Golovkin was crying about Martinez

[aboutfkntime]

Pretty simple:

1. IF the IBF orders and enforces the sergiy fight (while not allowing any other fights, whether it's a unification with Saunders or his rematch with Canelo) then GGG has to fight him in order to keep the belt

2. If he's able to keep the belt and still face a Saunders or Canelo, then GGG should and will do that. If he's able to make more money while keeping the belt, that's a no brainer.

Many people who don't like Gennady will take their anger out on him and say he's afraid of Sergiy. When in reality, they should redirect their anger at IBF president Daryl Peoples for allowing it.

Gennady is not under any moral obligation to fight anyone that isnt an enforced fight. Boxers will try to get away with as much as they can within the confines of the rules. Gennady is no different. We don't always like boxers to take shortcuts, but they all do.

And no one SHOULD blame a guy who is 36 yrs of age for going after a big money fight. They may call him a hypocrite (I would as well), but they'd understand. And everyyy boxer I know has been hypocritical one time or another in their careers. It happens.

like..... Sergio Martinez ?

but..... he became reviled, and he was labeled a coward
