Boxing is a sad sport sometimes: Golovkin - Rosado

Lou Dibella on Martinez fighting GGG:

Pirog backed out of the fight due to disc injury

Daniel Geale turned down the fight with Golovkin to fight Bumdine for a bigger payout

Quillin has also shown no interest in fighting GGG either.

Chavez Jr is out for a year's suspension.

Get your ****ing facts straight.

 

Macklin or Barker would be good fights.

 

I agree either of those would be good, but of the ones mentioned by the poster, name Martinez and Chavez, those aren't happening, and it's not Golovkin's fault.

I would really like to see Macklin vs Golovkin though, I agree.

 

:good

Funny how idiots here ESB managed to turn it like Golovkin is the one actually who is "avoiding these match ups".

 

On paper Golovkin-Rosado is a dubious matchup, but if you consider the entertainment value it could be a fun fight to watch for as long as it lasts.

Sad fight? I feel the number of rounds that Rosado lasts will determine that.

1st round KO - indeed sad matchup. Rosado should try a different career.
2-4 rounds - poor matchup. Rosado is back in the long line of would-be contenders.
5 rounds - hey! He lasted as long as Proksa! And Proksa is a top 10 MW. Rosado gets more respect and another network shot eventually.
6-10 rounds - at this points it is Golovkin's rep that starts to lose its shine. It is hard to be presented as 'boxing's best kept secret' with dynamite fists when you can not KO a guy with little chin or defense that fights right in your range.
10 rounds + : he lasted as long as Ouma! No one has ever gone more than 10 rounds against Golovkin. Massive respect for Rosado. Golovkins HBO status under threat. In the long run this could be an advantage - some decent MW might actually try to fight him.

 

He's already answered half of those. DiBella has ruled out Martinez, Geale chose to fight Mundine instead, Quillin doesn't want the fight, Sturm and N'Jikam both blatantly ducked him, Pirog pulled out of their scheduled bout with an injury, Murray is fighting Martinez, Andy Lee is coming off a KO loss, Barker is rebuilding his career after being out injured, Andrade is just a prospect who has beat nobody above journeyman level. Macklin would be great and is the only realistic option of the names you mentioned IMO.

 

It is a good fight. You'll be tuning in that night and after the first round you will be like "damn I was wrong, this is a good one.. im a ****en dumbazz"

 

Nyahaha lol nahh!! Watch bro. I'm as big of a hater of the matchups in this sport sometimes but this is gonna be a good one.

Facts: Rosado is not as skilled as Triple G

BUT the will, the toughness and the circumstances which Rosado is fighting under will make him as big of a threat as he's being made out to be.

The fight against Angulo was a result of mistakes caused by inexperience. He has shown steady improvement from fight to fight and he is a very hard worker. Tough kid.

Watch this will be a barnburner. Could be a one sided barnburner ala Pacquiao-Margarito style but you will be entertained.

 

Of course there are MWs he could fight, just not any good ones. I don't think the Rosado fight is as bad as people are making out under the circumstances. Rosado is coming up in weight, but his size deficit vs Golovkin will be negligible. He's on a good run of form and has bags of heart. It's not ideal, but I'm sure it will be fun to watch, however long it lasts.

 

You're right that boxing sucks and that the great fight rarely get made. But it's not Golovkin's fault. Martinez wants no part of Golovkin or Pirog. When someone even mentions their names to him, you can just see the fear in his eyes as he quickly changes the subject.

Martinez is a complete fraud who stole the MW title from Pavlik in what I scored a draw, and has been milking his fake title by fighting undefeated bums. His only good win is over Chavez.

 

Who has Golovkin fought that makes you guys thinks he is this MONSTER you all make him out to be? I'm looking at his resume and he hasn't been tested at all.
