Comments Thread For: IBF Did Golovkin Multiple Financial Favors By Stripping Him

[Removed Now]

You made a statement, please explain exactly what part of the article is inaccurate.



I get that you don't like it but the article is honest.

Honest? They are following their rules like wtf? They should let people who are rich and powerful dictate to them which rules they want to follow? The credibility of the sport is one reason why alot of Americans stopped following it. It's corrupted.

I am glad they scripted him.

Your known hate for GGG explains why you didn't agree with the article, it doesn't serve your narrative of hate.

or...... it was skewed, and written from the perspective of Golovkin's mom

it was definitely one of those things

it did not consider Derevyanchenko's position..... or Canelo's..... or Hopkins..... so, there was little there to interest me

The author wants to present this situation as being advantageous for Golovkin, but it just illustrates the fact that Golovkin's priorities are not what he pretends them to be. He's talks about a 'big drama show", but he really just wants the 'big drama dough'.

VERY good post !

A champion does not get to rest on his laurels. A champion has obligations to fulfill in order to remain a champion. Why does Golovkin have the right to make deserving challengers wait indefinitely while he chases his personal obsession? His fans would like to cut him slack, but holding the titles hostage is not good for the sport. Golovkin is considered (by most) to be the world's best middleweight, and it can only hurt the sport's profile when a fighter of that caliber is showcased in a complete mismatch like his last fight was. IBF was right in their disapproval of Vanes as title challenger, and they have every right to strip a champion who shows no interest in defending the title against mandatory challengers. How can a fan who appreciate ambitious fighters justify Golovkins recent actions? Unless 'ambition' is a euphemism for rapacious greed.

another VERY good post !

I will try remember to green you tomorrow

this article, did not seem to consider Derevy's position at all.....

Derevy just got passed over for an inactive mid-level JMW..... one who is not a draw..... and Golovkin simply expected him to sit there happily for the next 12-18 months while he takes care of Canelo/Saunders

not what Golovkin was saying back when Martinez was active

[aboutfkntime]

why didn't they just fight Derevy lol ?

was he REALLY that much of a threat ?

the guy is solid, and promising..... but, can't killers like Golovkin handle guys like that?

GGG is lucky there so much money on the table for Golden Boy and Canelo . After he made those crazy accusations about Canelo and Oscar I'm sure there only going to that 40% will go down to 38% . Oscar is going to put him in his place and Canelo will put him to sleep

You are dreaming pal, Canelo is going to be killed this time...

[budfr]

Why do these reporters keep saying GGG should have won the fight vs Canelo?? It was a draw, fro crrying out loud !! Live with it, matter of fact, many think Canelo won...

[budfr]

those crazy accusations are based are hard evidence showing canelo was using ped's. how can u condone any fighter using performance enhancers. canelo and oscar as disgusting animals..only the blind would argue a case for them with the clear evidence going against them. yes hes the cash cow with the judges in his pocket but its a joke and your comment is ever more so

It was proved with a hair folicle it was meat....if GGG really wanted to act macho, he should be moving up in weight and challenge Zurdo Ramirez or David Benavidez, both Mexican but no, he and his feminine fans like you are afraid of Canelo....

The hair follicle test doesn't prove anything, you silly girl. It's less reliable than blood and urine tests, which is why none of the testing agencies use it.

GGG has all the gold, Did not get caught doping which led to rematch being cancelled in the first place, and is supposed to make less money than Canelo? on what planet is that fair?
