Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Aims To Decide Career Direction By Year's End

[Bobby Shaw]

He should fight Charlo get knocked out then retire. He has made some decent money.

[OnePunch]

all true, but..... Golovkin does not appear to want those kind of options

at 160, DAZN = HARD work, no soft-touches while waiting for Canelo

not sure, I guess we will wait and see

so then if he does a deal with DAZN I'm sure you will start several threads commending him for wanting the tough fights?


yeah..........RIGHT lol

[BigStomps]

He was robbed of two wins, bro.

No he wasn't. If you feel he was robbed the first time then I won't argue with you on it.
But the second fight was no robbery. Even if you feel Triple g won the second fight it wasn't a robbery. It was a great fight that could have gone either way so it wasn't a robbery.

no, but..... I will admit that I was wrong

will I be wrong..... ?

how much would YOU be prepared to bet on that ?

Occam's Razor..... and the fact that Team Bullshlt have never changed their MO from ' safety first '..... tells me to stick with my opinion

e.g. they NEVER willingly walked into a dangerous fight that did not involve a Canelo payday, not once EVER..... just the opposite, they have continually taken the path of least resistance

I can't see why that would possibly change, especially at this point

they will continue fighting no-hopers, and try to bullshlt their way into another fight with Canelo

[ThatDude44]

seeing you put it like that..... I think they will go with ESPN

throughout his career, EVERY SINGLE TIME Golovkin has been faced with a decision, he has taken the safest route..... the path of least resistance

I think he will sign with ESPN, and rely on a joint deal to land Canelo

Yeah , this is the truth as we saw on Cinco De Mayo 2018.

GGG should go to DAZN. I don't think Golden Boy and Canelo are too keen on making that trilogy right away but it would still help Golovkin to go with DAZN. They have the big names at 160 and plus they're talking about a Callum Smith fight at Anfield Stadium which would be a great come back type of fight for GGG after dropping the belts. If he fights another 160 pounder besides Canelo and wins, that's solid but it would equate to redemption. Of course a Canelo trilogy and victory would bring redemption but a move up to 168 and capturing the Ring Magazine and WBA belt, that's a solid win to bounce back from a loss. It's not a guarantee but I think GGG has a solid shot against Smith.

It wouldn't be a bad idea if the decision is retirement. Retire with some of your health intact. Most boxers are punch drank or will be eventually.

[7NN]

The **** does that even mean? I'm gullible because I've enjoyed watching him fight over the years?

Nope, I've enjoyed his fights too. His later behavior doesn't add anything good to his personality. He was talking about legacy, but ended up with money grubbing.

[BoxingIsGreat]

everyone can see it coming

good point, they could sign a two-fight deal with ESPN, and then switch to DAZN for Canelo..... which is the most likely option

A fight against Brant might not go so well for GGG.

[Kiowhatta]

It's incredible how quickly GGG has faded into the background along with the usual naysayers calling him a 'hype job'.
I am just guessing here, and knowing DAZN is backed up by two large parent companies, but I wonder how much they are hoping Golovkin can be lured into a lucrative third fight?

If I were GGG, I would sign on to fight Canelo a third time, but only if the fight was held either in Europe or even in Kazakhstan giving Golovkin his turn to be the hometown fighter.

If Canelo refuses, or more to the point GBP's refuses, then GGG should wipe his hands of those scumbags and go for the plenty of fights available at 160. The big problem is promotional.

Finally, Sanchez needs to go. In his fights with Canelo GGG threw under 20 punches to the body and regularly let Alvarez off the hook.

The right trainer/manager knows how to deal with those problems, but Sanchez is the kind of trainer who is all about transforming oneself for your opponent.
