Comments Thread For: IBF Explain Their Decision To Strip Gennady Golovkin of Title

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

After a lengthy review and period of deliberation the International Boxing Federation has vacated the IBF Middleweight title held by Gennady Golovkin since October 17, 2015, as a result of Golovkin not accepting one of the conditions put forth by the organization to grant him the Exception to Regulations to fight Vanes Martirosyan on May 5, 2018 which was not sanctioned by the IBF.

ggg needs a big name if someone gave you a list of the people triple g beat only one is jacob thats A fighter canelo as well but it was a draw he needs name move up 160 done

It was always about Money over titles. He was also scared to move up to fight Ward. This is why I tell the fans to stop saying fighters are ducking. We all know once the fighters that are "ducked" make money, they avoid low reward high risk fights also. If he fights Charlo next, Im cool. If not, he needs to grow a pair and move up already!!!!!!

That's excellent!
I want to see Charlo vs Glovkin.
Make it happen!

[True That]

They have Deveryanchenko and Jacobs listed as the next 2 contenders. Let's see what happens.

They gave Triple G a chance to fight Derevyanchenko next after he fought Vanes but he tried to avoid that too. The IBF had no choice at this point I guess.

Can't use the Berto joke when he just fought Vanes man, hell Wade was even worse
