Comments Thread For: Sanchez: Golovkin Will Eventually Move Up To 168, Maybe 175

[kafkod]

nah, you're just a jock-sniffing fanboy !

Golovkin was only the INTERIM champ, just like Jacobs is now.

Daniel Geale was the WBA " Super " champion...... not Golovkin.

He beat Sturm back in 2012.

2 fighters OBVIOUSLY cannot defend the WBA title simultaneously.

Golovkin's " defences " back when he was the interim " champ "..... were as legitimate as Jacobs "defences" are now..... 0.

That is about as ****** as crediting Pacquiao for winning a FW title, despite the fact that did not. Beating Barrera in a non-title fight, does not magically award Pacquiao a featherweight simply because you feel all warm and gooey inside whenever you look at your Pac poster..... and by the same token, Golovkin's INTERIM defences do not count as legitimate defences, just because you got that creepy man-love thing going on.

Only a dopey fanboy would co-sign the WBA's sanctioning fee scam.

get help !

Sturm was the WBA middleweight champion and GGG was the interim champ and Sturm's mandatory challenger. The WBA didn't have a "super" champion at MW back then. Their "super titles were supposed to be awarded only to unified champions, and Sturm wasn't a unified champion

Sturm's promoters then made a large donation to the WBA and the WBA created a "super" title at MW and nominated Sturm to fight for it. But not against Golovkin, who had been his mandatory challenger for 2 years. Nope, Sturm's opponent for his "super" title fight was Giovanni Lorenzo.

So why did the WBA not match the existing champ and his mandatory challenger for the new "super" title? Why bring in somebody else, over Golovkin's head, who had done nothing at all to earn a title shot?

The answer to those questions is that that was what Sturm's promoters were paying for.

To any fair-minded boxing fan, Sturm was a paper champion from that day on. You could call him the super champion, super duper champion, whatever you like. He was a paper champion and Golovkin became the real WBA MW champion by beating Nilson Tapia for Sturm's old title in Dec 2010.

I don't think he will EVER mention lil'G again

except maybe laughing at him in the odd interview

you guys can run with your spin, but Ward was there..... he knows whats up, and he knows that fight will never happen

lil'G aint about that life

It's real contradictory that you mention this because GGG talked about Ward once in over a year, & that was to say to Ward, "As a man, you are dead to me." Of course, that didn't dissuade Ward from continually talking smack about GGG even after he moved up to 175 & had a contract to fight Kovalev eventually. Was Ward name-dropping much? It would appear so. Have you watched the fight preview of GGG/Rosado yet of when GGG & Ward first meet? Still waiting for you to tell me what GGG said to Ward. Keep the up the GGG hype there, hype man.

I go by the number that all boxing experts give me. And all of them say that GGG's MW title defense streak is at 16, about to be 17. That's all that matters. And it sets up perfectly for GGG to move up to 168 after breaking the record: Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank Jr, & lastly Canelo. You keep telling this troll how it is. He is only looking for an argument because he's a sadist. Notice that he says a lot of incendiary things just so he can get a response. It's nothing but an agenda. Also, he's still defending Canelo. Not even Mexicans are defending Canelo.

You missed the bit where GGG said he wanted 50/50 split and 164, everything halfway in the middle.

Missed it? I was answering a question about it, you tool!

lil'G aint about that life

Wiggers have no idea how funny they are!

[JUNIABOY]

Even if he beat Saunders and Jacobs they don't do much for his resume anyway. They aren't that good. Moving up and winning titles at 168 will look better on his resume than Daniel ****ing Jacobs.

That's an over-generalization. Because any fighter can move up a weight class. But if that fighter fights the 300th ranked guy at that weight, then it defeats the purpose of moving up. There aren't too many boxers at 168 who has a bigger name than Jacobs or Saunders. Maybe 3 guys? And is there a guarantee that those 3 guys are willing to take on GGG as soon as he moves up? Wouldn't GGG have to get back in line for a title shot?

If you can't be honest about it, stop using this forum to get hits for your crappy YT channel innit.

I think GGG will fight Ward @ 168/170 and Kovalev @ 175 maybe in 2018 or 2019 before he retires in 2020. Why not Beterviev or another top LHW.

[JUNIABOY]

Right -- so when Sanchez suggested that, what was the actual offer? What did they ask for? Last year during that time. Don't worry, i'll wait.

The starting negotiating point for the GGG/Ward potential matchup was 50/50 at 164. Ward's team did not want to budge off of 50/50 at 168. And this is on top of their insistence that Ward get 2 tune-ups before that fight. It's hard to negotiate when the other side doesn't want to budge.
