Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia Gives Up IBF; IBF To Order Commey-Chaniev

Curtis Stevens ? loooool

you guys used to brag about Lemieux being Golovkin's elite scalp

but now that Saunders undressed Pepe, you guys have moved on to Stevens?

alrighty, then.....

ggg-stevens wasn't a great fight but it was better than ggg-mora by every metric so why pretend that ggg ducked mora? sounds like cultist fanboy talk to me. stevens was higher ranked, stevens was more exciting, stevens brought a new york fan base. this is why i asked which group you were in because knowledgeable people don't usually say such nonsense so maybe the frontal fanbase lobe of your brain got the better of you. its ok i thought floyd was ducking eric crumble for years

And so our watch of Mikey ducking Loma begins.

Edit: well, continues, I should probably say.

Not quite sure I'd call moving up to WW to fight one of the most feared punchers there 'ducking' anyone - well, in fact I definitely wouldn't since you can't duck someone unless you've been mandated to fight them in my world.

Kudos to Mikey - I don't think he's insane so I'm gonna have to call this an incredibly gutsy move and I hope the financial rewards are substantial. Shame though - I really, really wanted to see the Loma fight.

Mikey doesn't want to fight Lomachenko, Spence doesn't want to fight Crawford, and the PBC wants to keep everything in-house. Laid it out simply for everyone.

You hit it on the nose.

Spence is weak for taking this fight. all Mikey gotta do is survive to get credit.

Avoiding Loma & Linares. To fight a fighter whose best opponent was has been Patterson.

Has there been talk or rumors about the location of this fight?? Spence vs Garcia

[sammybee]

This is an opportunity for Commey to become a world champion.

I explained why.....

1) Golovkin's excuses to avoid that fight were ABSURD

2) the excuse..... " irrelevant, and not a draw "..... only works if you then select someone relevant who is a draw lol

hey listen..... embarrass yourself by running around making silly excuses trying to justify why Golovkin passed on all of those fights..... fine..... but that is why he has a poor resume and does not have a signature win

whatever helps you sleep at night

btw, the guy who Golovkin ducked Mora to fight was Adama, not Stevens

Stevens ?

1) he made a bunch of silly excuses to avoid Sergio Mora in a showcase on HBO, preferring instead to fight a NO-HOPER in Monaco on free-TV

Mora was an ex-champ who had clearly faded, which is the ideal opponent for a young fighter attempting to establish himself on the world-stage..... boxing has always worked that way.....

NOT saying that Golovkin could not have beaten Mora, just that the Latin Snake is a known mover/spoiler who is notoriously difficult to look good against..... and they were not willing to risk failing to put Mora away, looking bad in the process, or..... worse

when I heard Loeffler stuttering and stammering his way through half-a-dozen silly excuses, I knew what was up..... that was ridiculous..... because insisting that someone is irrelevant, and not a draw..... only works if you fight someone relevant who IS a draw..... not an unknown NO-HOPER on free TV who is WORSE

missing opportunities like that, and with guys like Cotto..... is why Golovkin only has 97k fans..... he needed those type of fights

2) they did the exact same thing to Lara and Ward, who are both also known mover/spoilers who are notoriously difficult to look good against.....

Lara would have been Golovkin's best opponent to date at that point..... and once again, insisting that someone is irrelevant, and not a draw..... only works if you fight someone relevant who IS a draw..... not guys like Willie Monroe, Wade, Brook, etc.....

3) Ward..... they promised to fight Ward at 168..... a) they killed the fight in June 2015 by demanding a catchweight they knew would kill the fight..... b) in September 2015 they refused that fight in 36 minutes flat

4) the superstar Cotto, should have been the ultimate goal of every fighter from 140-160..... at that point in time, Cotto was the very best option, because May/Pac were totally unrealistic and never going to happen

Mr " anyone from 154-168 " totally refusing to negotiate on weight with the little old faded SUPERSTAR Miguel Cotto..... is the 2nd most bizarre occurrence within boxing that I have witnessed within the last decade

I cannot believe how little was spoken about that situation, both from the media and from the fans..... totally bizarre..... every other fighter from 140-160 would have cut off one of his fingers for that fight, and yet Golovkin would not so much as lift his little finger to make that fight, totally refusing to drop a single pound to fight the 153lb superstar

then a few months after refusing to negotiate on weight with Cotto and Canelo..... Golovkin threw up his hands in frustration and claimed that he was willing and able to fight at 154 but nobody would step up..... WTF???

those are the exact type of fights that Golovkin should have taken

5) they specifically promised to fight Canelo at 154..... but as above, when shht got real they tucked tail and ran from that fight..... and just like above, 6 months after refusing to negotiate on weight with Cotto and Canelo, Golovkin threw up his hands in frustration and claimed that he was willing and able to fight at 154, but nobody would step up.....



6) Derevyanchenko - and Golovkin got stripped

7) Saunders..... why the fcuk would Golovkin select a total NO-HOPER in Vanes, when Saunders was running around with his "dream"..... calling him Pvssy-Borat.,.... and offering to fight him in June???

a unification > a mando, so Golovkin would not have been stripped for refusing to fight Derevyanchenko..... instead, Golovkin avoided TWO threats, selected an inactive JMW, and got stripped for his troubles in the process.....

the very second that Saunders said he was available, there was no other fight to make..... Munguia, Spike, and Vanes..... should never have been mentioned

..... come on, that is the 3rd most bizarre situation within the sport of boxing that I have ever witnessed..... two of those situations being created by Golovkin

if you think all of that happened by coincidence, you are a fkn dreamer

stop licking Golovkin's sack and then expecting old school fans to applaud you for it..... MANY established journalists have said the exact same thing..... which is why you should have smartened up
