EVENTUALLY. :-( WTF?I am so tired of this. It creates hate for Golovkin and these guys have NO intention of fighting GGG, none. I like Andrade and I think if given the chance, beats both Charlos and Canelo. HOWEVER...with his activity level, or lack thereof... he looks like an idiot for even mentioning GGG. GGG gets hate because he gets hype. He didn't fight Ward, so now he is apparently some kind of joke and only fights bums, despite the fact that (oddly enough) many of these haters are also Mayweather fans. These fans had no problem with Floyd fighting a string of hypejobs though...it was ok then because they were the money fights. GGG wants Canelo... he wanted Cotto, he wanted Sergio Martinez, he wanted Chavez Jr, he wanted Froch... all big money fights. Look, I think Golovkin is falsely advertised because he isn't some throwback (if he was he would have fought Ward at 168 )... he wants money and that is just the way boxing is so he and Abel are frauds in that sense. But I seriously doubt there are 5 guys 168 and under that beat him... and it sure as SH*T isn't Lara. I see many sites now saying GGG is afraid of Lara, so I'd love to see it happen to shut these idiots up, despite the fact Lara gets murdered. GGG should be criticized mildly for not fighting Ward...however it isn't like Wards people offered anything either. So they both get blame, and until Ward ACTUALLY steps in the ring with Kov, he isn't getting big ups from me because even though the fight is "signed" it is looking shaky for this year and they don't even have an official date or venue. Now with STILL no opponent for July it looks even shakier.
I could agree with most of this post...until "wards people didn't offer anything either"....because k2 said they weren't interested .....also I heard Lil g fans argue to death that Lil g was the aside so it would prob be him setting the pace in those negotiations ...but they said they had other plans and that "possibly maybe in 2017"....when they knew ward would be long gone from 168 Yeah Lil g prob beats lara.....but so what ? He beats all these other guys too....at least Lara has some credentials ....network experience .....for the life of me I can't stand Lil g fans when they actually make excuses for Lil g not calling him ......so what if he destroys Lara in 3 rounds? It's better than destroying wade in 3 rounds ......the excuses for not considering Lara are downright disconcerting
Like I said, IMO it is both Ward and GGG's fault. IMO, whoever is putting the other fighters name in his mouth needs to fight the other guy at the other guys' weight and that applies to BOTH fighters. What pi$$es me off is these guys discrediting the Dawson win (because Dawson sacked up and went down in weight) when Ward handled him right from opening bell. Dawson was suddenly a cab driver who was drained, even though he had just beaten the guy that is Kovalev's best win. People are biased and they see things the way they want to see them. I don't fault GGG for going after Canelo...but if that doesn't work out and he doesn't chase greatness (Degale would be a good start), then f**k him he deserves to get ridiculed. Dude is 34 years old ffs.
i cant really blame lil g for going after canelo either....but he keeps getting played and prob should have seen the writing on the wall.....and instead might end up with nothing....and yes...his age is a problem...considering hes been wasting time letting others have play time with a belt he supposedly wanted real bad....which is why i feel pretty much 0 sympathy for him
oh it was very realistic indeed 168 kingpin vs "anybody to 168..im trying to make fights with froch and chavez"....it was very realistic....but I guess ward wasn't relevant enough or something
Honestly at this point of their career I'd pick GGG to beat Andrade. If Andrade stayed active, and beat the charlos, lara, jrock, trout etc, there might be a discussion but the dude is been doing absolutely nothing and this si coming from a huge Andrade fan.
rod stewart would disembowel lil g... I believe theres a song called "I was only joking" on rod stewarts greatest hits which is what lil g must have meant when he said "anyone from 154-168.....I was only joking"
If I say right here "I want to fight Golovkin" will there be a thread saying he ducked me? It's great for my profile on Twitter "Golovkin officially ducked me" and all I have to do is say I want to fight him :think
are you an accomplished fighter who has headlined cards on major premium and cable networks? no you are not....are you the top ranked fighter in any division? no you are not you aren't relevant!
