Comments Thread For: Golovkin Is '100-Percent Open' To Fighting Murata In Japan

Razor you know good and well he didnt duck Hopkins. He would drill B Hop. If Joe Smith did , imagine what GGG would do. Common Now , you need to release some of that hate.

Yeah when B-Hop was 50 years old he got beat. He wasn't 50 when he called out Sissy-g.

I do acknowledge differing opinions...I think Horn beat Pac...if someone thinks it was a draw or Pac edged it, and they were not a Pac fanboy...I would say I could see that...I think Lara beat Hurd 7-5...if someone had it 6-6 and edged it to Hurd I could see that.

If someone thinks Pac beat Floyd...no...if someone thinks Hagler beat SRL...no...if someone thinks Ward beat Kov (1st fight)...no...if someone really tries to say that GGG lost any of those fights...nah just don't see that my friend...can't really take that seriously I'm afraid.

Btw...just for comparison sake - GGG-Nelo 2 had more action than the first fight...234-202 landed punches...edge to GGG...fight 1 GGG landed 218-169...Jacobs Nelo was 131-188...objectively speaking the 2nd fight had a big increase in action over the first, and even the first had much more action than a similar MW matchup.

If you don't want to see it that's cool...but that explanation as to why is again imo putting out a narrative that isn't true at all..you're just kind of saying what you want to be true lol...first fight yeah GGG was stalking and Nelo backing up...but fight 2 it was basically fought the whole time in the center of the ring.

I think a 3rd fight would be good drama and eventually I think one of the two guys would break...would be interested to see who it is...but if Nelo doesn't want it there are other good fights out there for both...I would be more interested in GGG fighting at 168 if no Nelo fight...more of a legacy fight imo than anything at 160, right now anyway.

The 2nd fight was better but still mediocre. Jacobs Alvarez was a snoozer.

I would love to see GGG fight Charlo or Andrade at 160 or move up to 168 for BJS.

I would agree that I am more interested in a charlo or andrade bout with GGG, one thing does come to mind. I heard of Murata long before I ever heard of the two others aforementioned. Looking at the grand scheme of things regarding the DAZN contract,...this may just be a multi fight deal that is designed to build up to the third Canelo fight. Both these guys know the money at stake.

[SweetPbfAli]

That would be absolutely massive in Japan, Murata is a better than everyone Charlo or Andrade has faced.

But is he better than Charlo or Andrade?

[Boxing_1013]

Berto is a better win than anything Sissy-g has done his whole career & if sissy-g was black I would still talk that shet if he was over hyped like you doing with Pvssy-G but he's not & Floyd is T.B.E.

He did so wtf are YOU making up?

Who is your favorite white fighter?

[Boxing_1013]

But is he better than Charlo or Andrade?

Andrade probably not...Charlo struggled with Korobov just like Murata struggled with Brant...Murata struggled worse then very impressively won the rematch...Murata probably about the same level as Charlo...Murata a better boxer, Charlo physically more problematic

I hear ya...I would rather see him in vs Smith or Benevidez at 168...or even Plant...feel like those would be good fights with a clear winner at the end and/or some really good action.

I feel like with Andrade or BJS if it goes 12 rounds, and it likely would, then no matter what those who don't like GGG would score it against him...I would in theory like to see those fights but when you feel like people already have their scorecards filled out going into the fight it just kind of takes the fun out of watching them.

Charlo I wouldn't mind...feel like there would be a definitive win either way...either Charlo catches an aging G with his edge in athleticism/speed/quickness/explosiveness...or G outboxes Charlo pretty clearly/beats him down and wins by KO or clear decision.

[Boxing_1013]

But is he better than Charlo or Andrade?

I would say style wise I think Charlo is a tougher test for GGG though...but if Murata and Charlo fought I wouldn't be surprised if it was really tight and/or if Murata won...if Murata beat GGG or Andrade I would be surprised.

[chirorickyp]

He'll lose all those fights that's why he want Nelo's payday.

and so will the other guy Wilder as well?

[Zaroku]

I like Murata, but I think GGG walks him down.
