    Sanchez said he wants to fight 3 or 4 times per year, the more the better, Golovkin is a fighter who likes to fight often, 3 times per years is his minimum, but he prefers 4................wish all fighters thought like that. Hell, Joe Louis used to fight once per month!

    GGG will only be fighting twice this year just like last year so where this 'wants to fight 3 or 4 times every year' comes from, I don' know.

    To add to that ^^^

    Vanes said he'll be much stronger at 160, that he feels weak at 154 and that he's always performed better when he he's fought at MW, which he has done no fewer than 15 times.

    Being interviewed by the delectable Cynthia Conte

    This dude has sparred Vanes and he says he's the 2nd most complete fighter after Floyd ''Money'' Mayweather he's ever shared a ring with and this cat has sparred everyone.

    And again, Vanes was robbed against Jermello and that was a Jermello who had 7lbs on him. ROBBED! Don't forget that. ROBBED!

    Knocked down Boo Boo

    And was robbed against prime Lara. ROBBED!

    Very good point by my boy Vanes (who let's not forget was a quality amateur who holds a brace of wins over Cotto and Jermallo conqueror (robbed) Austin Trout, Tim Bradley, and Andre Berto to name but a few). Both Lara and Boo Boo were really tricky southpaws who are very difficult to fight and even more so to look good against. Vanes' only other 'loss' was against Jermello (who outweighed him by 7lbs) and that was a robbery.

    Because he used to fight 3-4 a year when people didn’t duck him.

    The funny thing is that Vanes is probably one of GGG's top 5 opponents.

    Martirosyan: Everyone is beatable – everybody


    The clash between WBA/WBC/IBF middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) and Vanes “The Nightmare” Martirosyan (36-3-1, 21 KOs) is only 14 days away and takes place on Cinco De Mayo — Saturday, May 5 — under the stars at StubHub Center. It will be televised live on HBO. Martirosyan was one of a handful of boxers in the conversation as Golovkin’s May 5 opponent following the cancellation of the Canelo rematch. He was ready to go when the call came.

    “Throughout the year, two camps started on and off. Every time we started somebody pulled out,” said Martirosyan. ‘The last was the WBC mandatory against Sulecki on March 17. We were getting ready for that and that didn’t happen because Sulecki pulled out to fight Danny Jacobs. So then we took a week off and got back in the gym again. It’s been like that for the past year – we would start camp then the fight falls through, then we take a week off and get back to camp again.

    “Every time I talked to my promoter Don King, I would tell him my passion. I would tell him ‘give me a fight, let me show you what I can do.’ I knew he had been working hard to get me a fight then he got me this fight. When they asked me if I wanted it I said ‘of course.’ They asked me if I could be 176 by Friday and I said I am 176 right now. Thank God we were training and in such good shape. King got me the biggest fight and now it’s time to go.

    “As a fighter, we train to fight and we are getting paid to fight. I am so happy because GGG is a fighter and he comes to fight. The fights that I didn’t look good in are against the people that ran from me like Lara and Andrade (recent decision losses) – they just try to run and outbox. I couldn’t make them fight. But GGG is coming to fight and that’s what I’ve been looking for – to show the boxing world what I can do. Styles make fights – everyone is human. I am fighting a person. Everyone is beatable – everybody.

    El Pollo next, then Saunders, after that he can fight Charlo, but it's time Charlo fight a real fighter, he became mantory by beating a cripple, then he fought Pee Wee Herman (Centeno) an unknown fighter with weak bones, a very weak fighter with a chin that is thinner than glass. Golovkin is not a cripple, and is no Pee Wee Herman. Golovkin would have knocked out both the cripple and Pee Wee Herman easily, not a problem at all.............

    Can't question the attitude he's bringing into this one, I'll definitely give him that.

    I love GGG and I vote he wins by KO but it'd be brilliant if Vanes gave him a war

    1/2lb weight advantage is a big deal for some fans, never mind 1/2 x 14.

    You do the math

    Actually scratch that I'm just being lazy

    1/2lb x 14 = 7lbs
