Chavez doesn't want to do some contractual thing... Quillin's on showtime... Martinez is old and needs to make some money, he don't need any threats right now... Geale wants Aussie PPV.... Lame. Some of you literally blame him when he's being ducked out of his own division and will be forced to do one of the hardest jumps in boxing, which is MW to SMW. Some of you also accuse him of ducking Ward when he has not had a single fight at SMW yet and has not been given his chance at some serious MW success because Sergio is a coward fighting a shot Welterweight in a fight that some of you think is actually legit. Golovkin is a real fighter and should have your support. Stop supporting hype jobs and useless reality TV fights and return to liking relevant boxing. :good
Yes. Rigo is a tragedy. This guy is literally the best boxer in the game. Undoubted after this past weekend.
Kovalev is on Showtime, and "supposedly" GGG handled him easily in the gym, but you don't hear his manager calling him out after saying that GGG knocks out heavyweights in sparring...oh wait, only Mayweather is supposed to fight guys 20 lbs. heavier than him and is a ***** for not wanting to, sorry, I forgot the rules.
I would tell you K2 submitted their list of fighters to HBO with whom they are ready to fight and guess what, among them is Kovalev at 175. And Kovalev is not on Showtime. Do you follow boxing at all?
Golovkin, at the moment, is a hype job by definition of a hype job. His best win is Macklin and he got his WBA belt by beating a guy who's previous fights were against 8-16-1, 0-4-0, 0-3-0 opponents. Where can I read more about this; or is this another lie (promotional ploy) regarding to Golovkin? --February 1, 2014 In a statement after the bout, Promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promtions said they have offers out to three HBO-approved fighters. The best fight of the realistic potential opponents is Martin Murray, who by many accounts beat Martinez last April in Argentina, but lost on the scorecards. But it is more likely to be James Kirkland, on the comeback trail after a victory in December. Former middleweight titleholder Andy Lee could be on the short list as well.--
Can't blame Chavez Jr. for turning down an extension with TOP RANK. Who else does Arum for him as an opponent at 168-174?. All the big names are with Golden Boy/SHOWTIME.
Hell you talking about? This is about the JCC jr fight falling through... The entire sport doesn't revolve around FMJ (yet). And Kovalev fights on HBO of course, though I suspect that's what you meant. FWIW JCC jr probably comes to the ring a little heavier than Kovalev (who fights at 184ish).
