Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Trainer: Canelo Trilogy Will Happen When Both Are 65

[TonyGe]

Wow! what a dumb coach with his comments. He said when GGG is 65 and won't hit as hard? My questions to all of the boxing experts is, If GGG hits so damn hard, why wasn't Canelo Ko? Canelo fought him toe to toe on the second fight, stood in the middle of the ring and GGG couldn't do it, what makes him think that GGG still has the tool to ko Canelo?

Probably because he knows Golovkin won both fights.

I just put a Benjamin on Derevyanchenko so I think calling him a safe fight is a reach but to each their own. I’ve made the argument about perception being people’s realities even when they don’t make sense to anyone else. Golovkin is at the tail end of his prime some would argue that has left, i am among them, clearly his trainer change wasn’t just about money..I felt it had to do with him needing to change his style to compensate for what’s he’s lost. Also it’s hilarious that people consider Derevyanchenko a safe fight now after Canelo tried to make a fight with him but couldn’t come to terms to make the fight. I doubt most here would be calling it a safe fight had they come to terms. Anyway, I like both Canelo (despite the failed test) and Golovkin but I’ve had a gut feeling GGG May lose this fight since they started negotiating to fight.

My post is not a shot at Derevyanchenko. I think he’s alright fighter, he gave Jacobs a good fight in a losing effort. This is not necessarily about Derev, it’s that Andrade is a tougher style, a higher risk fight. Not that Derevyanchenko is a “safe” fight. No where in my post did I say that or even disrespected Derevyanchenko in anyway, I don’t even think I mentioned him.

Derevyanchenko does appear to be a less risky fight than Andrade, for the same amount of money (GGG has a set contract). So why not choose the less risky fight? Can’t be mad at him for that. But he did it. I don’t have an issue with his hustle, but he did it.

If Derevyanchenko ends up being a really good fight for GGG, great for us fans. But GGG did go for the lesser risk fight.

Sure. If Banks was Canelo’s trainer, he’d probably say Canelo won.

Do you guys take trainers words as gospel? So then do you agree with GGG’s former trainer, Abel Sanchez, in his opinion of the fight WHILE he was still GGG’s trainer?

What say you after this fight? Don't think so, styles make fights man...it's why I bet on Sergiy...Golovkin needs to hang em up.

I say the same exact thing? Word for word. Literally word for word, I wouldn’t change a thing. My post still stands.

I don't think people here rate or have rated Derevyenchenko as his skills would demand. I guess they will should he stick to the division, get a rematch, or fight one of the other division kings. This was never going to be an easy fight for Golovkin and I bet on him losing it.
