Comments Thread For: Arum: No One Should Laugh At Golovkin-Bradley Bout

[observer]

Come on now, guys.

There are a few things here that should make you give GGG a pass on this one.

1) GGG's not calling out Bradley. It's the other way around. If Bradley wants to be a superman, that's hardly GGG's fault.

2) Bradley is not much smaller than Cotto. And he used to be a lot heavier as a teenager. A bit like Shawn Porter.

3) Bradley's style would be awkward for GGG. Not much space to hit. Leading with his head, fast. And a chin to admire. Bradley falls but always gets up. The same attributes that make people discount Bradley (e.g. his size) may actually work in his favor.

4) What are Golovkin's options? Lemieux is inventing a mandatory out of thin air. Cotto proudly says that nobody dictates to him who to fight (and, I guess, who to duck, for that matter). Canelo won't leave his own 155 pound division. Quillin went under water. Lee is fighting Saunders. I don't see any contender at sight worth even mildly getting excited about. I'll take Bradley over Heiland or Taureano Johnson any day.

GGG is a beast. GGG has earned the right to fight anybody he wants too. Cotto is avoiding him. Oscar says Canelo is not ready for GGG. Lemieux wants to fight his mandatory first. (That's a first). GGG wants the exposure and if Oscar, or Floyd, or Bradley want to commit suicide. So be it.

Any fighter has the right to fight whomever they please. However, Golovkin is not in the position where his resume speaks for itself. As things stand, Golovkin. and Hall of Fame do not belong in the same sentence. If he wants to change things, he needs to step up the competition.

[The Big Dunn]

GGG fans should be ansolutely embarrassed if he makes this fight. if he does make it, it will show us who he truly is as a fighter.

That fight is the biggest mismatch in boxing.

the GGG fans will support and hype it up....then bring up Swift vs Salka whenever they feel like bashing the Young Philly Rican....then call Swift vs Paulie a sh'tty fight....then call Floyd and Ward cherry pickers...then say Santa Cruz need to step up his comp level....if you think I'm lying, wait and see if Arum hates TB enough to throw him in front of the moving train

If golovkin fights Bradley, ggg is a joke

Absolute joke

Loefller said it's a serious possibility according to the fighthype reporter and he said ggg will be at the Bradley Vargas fight

Disgraceful

I used to think ggg was a beast and he's been marketed as such but look who he has said he will fight as of late:

- Oscar who's been retired for 7 years
- Floyd a welterweight at the tail end of his career And who rehydrates to a mere 150 pounds
- Bradley a pillow punching welterweight

Interesting that you forgot Andre Ward. GGG said, "Yes." to HBO when they asked him (in a meeting with both Ward and GGG) if he would fight Andre Ward. Also interesting is Ward's response to HBO at that same meeting. Ward replied, "No." Do some research and double check this if you want. It is the truth. GGG told HBO that he would fight Ward. Andre Ward however said he would not fight GGG.

You going by what triple G said lol HBO have came out and said it wasn't right time to make fight triple G just started headlining own cards and ward was still in hibernation and surgery but let's look at the story of today ward calling triple G out and now the coward is saying wards dead to him fight will never happen but I'll fight a junior ww did you see the Vargas vs Bradley face off Bradley look like a shrimp having to stand on his tippy toes just to come to his chin image what triple G Bradley would look like

[Jubei]

Everybody using GGGs name to get some recognition. Bradley would get trashed and GGG ain't fighting this midget.

Let's just hope anyone out there at 160 steps up.

[crazyboy867]

bradley dies in the ring if he fights golovkin..

[STREET CLEANER]

The only reason he says that is because he promotes Bradley
