This hate for Golovkin aint getting anyone anywhere. He's called out the best in 3 weight classes. Made offers to the best in his division. He's fought several top 10 guys, but suddenly they aint top 10s no more after GGG KTTFO. Instead of riding GGG and calling him a cherry picker, why not ridicule Quillin, Sturm, Ward, Mayweather, Lara etc for not making him offers. If Mayweather says to GGG....I'll fight you at 152 with a 165lb rehydration clause.....you can best believe Lee would be getting scrapped and Floyd would be getting starched. If Lara said he wanted some at 154 or 158, concessions, GGG could easily accommodate for the right fight, believe ppl who know boxing........GGG would be all over that. EDIT: Maybe not Lara.....no $$$$$ in it, too risky a fight for short dough and no props....but he'd be in Alvarez's @ss the minute the contracts were sent.deal:deal
Smart move for Kirkland. That was a match-up that wasn't gonna benefit anyone, in the grand scheme of things.
Can you really blame Golovkin after Geale has just decided to knock back the fight by literally saying "I can't fight him that week but maybe next week would be better" http://www.foxsports.com.au/other-s...ays-daniel-geale/story-e6frf5h3-1226818842714
Eh...Lee's #10 in the Trans-national rankings; and he's a legit middleweight. Just because his flaws tends to play to GGG's strengths doesn't mean this is a bad fight. If this is the only contender Gennady fights this year, then that's an issue...but if he maintains a four fight pace and fights someone else in the ratings, then I don't see any reason to hate on this fight.
I don't make my own threads. So I only respond to others' threads. I am at the mercy to discuss whatever other people are discussing. People are discussing Golovkin every day. Therefore, I end up discussing Golovkin every day. Just like how I end up talking about Hopkins when others talk about Hopkins, P4P lists when others talk about P4P lists, year end awards when others talk about year end awards, etc etc. But thank you, troll, for displaying your intellectual capacity by trying to discredit or insult me in a manner that does the exact same to every single poster on this site with no exceptions. Thank you.
That's horrible for the Trans-national rankings. He CLEARLY deserves to be nowhere near the top 10 at this point. --- I do agree with everything else you say.
Andy Lee was pretty much confirmed today on ESPN: http://espn.go.com/blog/dan-rafael/post/_/id/7388/ggg-likely-to-face-andy-lee
If Kirkland coulda dragged GGG down to 154, on the Mayweather UC......all parties involved would have benefited. A wieght drained GGG could be thought to be vulnerable to a puncher like Kirkland, the money would defo be right on a Mayweather UC, and seeing GGG murder someone like Kirkland at 154 could be used as a promotional tool to build up a never-gonna-happen fight with May....., but it would certianly make for good publicity for both GGG and Floyd..... As for Kirkland.....punchers chance to shock the world and become a mega star, if only for one fight.
So the opinions of random people make this fight (which will likely feature an entertaining beating & KO) shitty? Great logic you utter ******
Yes, and he will have brains of mush if he keeps this up.....not a good move for Andy at all. He needs to consider another line of work.
:deal ^ This. I don't see what the complaining is about. Lee is a decent MW. Martinez isn't available. Floyd is p4p #1 and he's probably gonna fight Khan or Maidana next.
