Comments Thread For: Golovkin, Loeffler Explain Picking Rolls As Opponent For June 8

[Themanager]

i just pulled up the rankings and sulecki is ranked 3 behind gg and lemieux. Is sulecki the interim champ? Really, far as i can tell 3g had first dibs on andrade if he wanted him.

exactly !!!

[kushking]

Lol yessir GGG needs at least 6 tune-ups to be ready for CANELO , cause the "Ginger Punch" is nowhere near ready to be unveiled.

HILARIOUS,I had forgotten about that bs! When Abel Sanchez & Ggg were claiming to have "invented a secret weapon to the body in the rematch" & referred to it as" the ginger snap",we now know it was all COMPLETE BS & posturing.

After the 1st fight reporter: "why you no go to the body?", Abel:"if ggg would've went to the body hed have gotten countered because Canelo was running",reporter: "how will you rectify it in rematch"

Abel:"We've invented a secret weapon we call the ginger snap","expect Canelo to get kod by a body punch"

2nd fight ggg landed 1 less body shot than 1st fight 6 total to Canelos 46 haymakers to his tumtum. No wonder gggs acting like a #metoo victim now. Hes damaged goods 4 life.

The 37-year-old Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KOs) was expected to fight a safe opponent once he signed a six-fight contract with DAZN because a lucrative third bout against Alvarez hangs in the balance. If Golovkin beats Rolls and Alvarez (51-1-2, 35 KOs) gets past Daniel Jacobs (35-2, 29 KOs) on May 4 in Las Vegas, Golovkin and Alvarez are expected to fight again later this year.

How many times over the past few years have we heard GGG and the press spit out this same reason/excuse only with slightly different details as to why he continues to only want to fight bums.

after Golovkin retires..... and the fawning media, are no longer fawning..... maybe some of them will start to write the truth

they fought the guys they wanted to fight, and they passed on the rest..... just like everybody else

but the guys they wanted to fight, weren't much good

Rolls is a shameful choice. Nelo should side step him on principle alone. You don't get rewarded for beating up the Rolls' of the sport.

Hahaha! Yeah all that trash talk and couldn't back it up.
CANELO single handedly destroyed team ggg. Now they're all backstabbing each other. Kushking I see you out there in the trenches schooling these g-string noobs!

I finally found a pic of subzero online

Dude, where'd you find that? It's totally me!

[SUBZER0ED]

yep, but the canelo fights didnt happen back to back... so, no back to back tough fights...

Close enough. I didn't even count the Vanes fight because he was nothing.

[SUBZER0ED]

Vanes was a cherry-pick to avoid better fighters

no stay-busy fight was required at that point, Golovkin had a full camp

Golovkin could have chased his " dream " with Saunders..... or he could have fought his mando Derevyanchenko..... either of those selections would mean that Golovkin would not be stripped by the IBF

Golovkin fans are getting hammered because they have been making those silly excuses for him for YEARS

Golovkin did what he has ALWAYS done in that situation..... he picked a no-hoper to guarantee him an easy fight

nothing changed

So Alvarez fails a drug test, scrapping the planned fight and it's Golovkin who is supposed to make up for it. Name a fighter who took on an equally tough fight when the original got scrapped a month before.

[Damn Wicked]

I am from Canada and never heard of this guy....

I'm from Canada...In fact, from Steve Rolls' home town...AND I never heard of the guy until now!
