GGG: we want to go "Mexican Style" against a guy who won't go "Mexican Style" against us.

Uh, I'm talking about the fights against Canelo. Vanes was a stay busy fight, after Canelo failed the PED test.

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

NEW YORK Gennady Golovkin admitted Monday that he didn't know anything about Steve Rolls when his team began searching for his next opponent. Brandon Adams, Hassan N'Dam, Maciej Sulecki and Kamil Szermeta all were considered before Golovkin eventually decided to fight Rolls on June 8 at Madison Square Garden. Golovkin will fight for the first time June 8 since suffering the first defeat of his career a debatable majority decision to rival Canelo Alvarez in their middleweight championship rematch September 15 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Uh, I'm talking about the fights against Canelo. Vanes was a stay busy fight, after Canelo failed the PED test.

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

[aboutfkntime]

Meh, I'm not watching this.

I don't blame a 37 year old GGG for taking an easy stay busy fight.

He should only be fighting these or Canelo type fights at this stage in his career.

If he was 32/33, I'd criticize, but not here.

Golovkin has been doing this for YEARS

when were his fans EVER going to criticize Gennady's poor opponent selection?

Golovkin is continuing to select NO-HOPER opponents, because his fans keep watching

props to you for tuning out

[REYESdelBOXEO]

Fans need to CHILL OUT on GGG:

This is just a comeback fight, to get him ready for a stay busy fight, that's gonna prepare him for a tune-up fight.

He just needs to do that twice in a row , then his 6 fight deal with DAZN will be over and he'll become the hottest free agent in all of boxing.

Now GGG wants go "Canadian Style"

Canelo beat the MexiCAN Style out of him.

Instead Sergiy said GIVE me MY belt and GGG said Yes Papa.

And he GAVE is IBF belt to Sergiy. It wasnt even about the $$$$$ like Cabelo did. Canelo was going to court that same week the 60-40 purse bid was ordered.

He just HAD a stay busy fight in Vanes???
