He’s willing to cut the weight. It’s just i see Golovkin never letting mayweather off the ropes or out of the corner and breaking mayweather’s forearms. And getting those liver blows.
Boxing fans have canelo, golovkin, and kobolev to watch.
Golovkin/Alvarez is probably the next big fight.
Golovkin is calling out both floyd and manny
I love all these niggas who dont watch boxing trying to say how boxing sucks
If you recall the Jennings vs. Klitschko fight. Klitschko didn’t even hold as much as Floyd did but had gotten a point deducted anyway by the ref for excessiveness. Trust me, at the very least Bayless should’ve given Floyd a stern warning much earlier on. The way the clinching was used by Mayweather was purely strategic.
Thi is my problem with boxing. The sport is just too corrupted and sadly fans don’t fully see that. What i don’t like about bigtime mayweather fans is that they do not care as to how floyd wins; they just want him to win so they can talk trash against the opposite fan base. This is the only sport that allows an athelete to imply allot of control in the match from gloves, purse, to ring size which eliminates any even plain field possible.This is one of the reasons why the UFC is so much favoed because they don’t allow that. One man has control and assures an even field. I mean seriously, the whole match gets more fucked up the more you watch it. I still give it to mayweather regardless, he totally controlled the match but one of his best weapons in that match was the clinching.
Golovkin could always move up in a weight and fight Ward. Kind of irks me when people hop on the most feared man shit when he is not prepared to do what a man vilified on a regular basis did, move up in weight. Other middleweights could fight him but he is not short on competition or big money fight: Froch and Ward would chomp at the bit to get a piece of him.
Funniest shit is people spew has been spouted since 2002 @blufang basically is every post about “boxing is dead”
Without citing big time draws all being at middle weight and below
Ufc showed that you don’t need heavyweight draws. You can draw based on smaller exciting fighters with personality. Hell guys like sugar ray leonard, roberto duran, de la hoya etc showed that in the 70s, 80s, 90s. Floyd and Manny showed it in the 00s. Canelo, broner, dirrell, froch, are draws now.
No heavyweight is better than the klitschkos
So really stfu. Boxing isn’t dead. Neither is mma. Or really wwe. There will always be people willing to fight and people willing to pay to see it
But hey just talking as a combat sports fan
So we’re gonna blame Golovkin now for trying to find the big money fights? The money is with Pac, Floyd and to a lesser extent Canelo and Cotto. Froch and Ward would both be excellent opponents, but that’s not where the money’s at.
You could argue against it if he wasn’t trying to fight big names, but he definitely is. Nobody is gonna see him fight one of those names and complain that he didn’t go after Froch instead. Maybe if you could show me where GGG is actively ducking either of those fighters, I’d feel differently. Again I like both names and would be excited for that fight, but it’s not like GGG is ducking them right now, to my knowledge.
I think at this point, it may be a better amateur sport than professional. I enjoyed the fight yesterday and reading about it from people who know more than me, i’ll enjoy it better the second time. But the reffing sucks, the fact that a fight like this took so long to make and all the other nonsense is really hurting. The fact that the UFC can show the fights that people want is a huge asset to MMA.
All things considered the drama between arum and mayweather made for a better match while showcasing the shittiest thing about professional boxing.
No, we’re going to call a spade a spade. Don’t act like the man is some bad man that has all quaking in their boots. He is a middleweight seeking fights with a converted Middleweights (Cotto) and fighters two divisions south of his in Pacquiao and Mayweather.
I don’t have a problem with people seeking the money fights but I have a problem when people try hopping on this “They’re so hard done by shit.” Like I’m supposed to feel some way about someone trying to piggyback off of someone’s fame as opposed to building their career the hard way.
And for the record, Ward has called Golovkin out on numerous occasions; his team find some way of shooting it down. They shoot it down because Ward would break him down.
I like pro boxing just fine; mayweather is an anomaly. Hes always been a boring boxer nothings new. Guys like canelo to me are what boxing is currently, not floyd despite his very vocal assertions of the opposite. His time passed cant wait til september comes and goes and floyd mayweather isnt in the ring anymore. Drawing such a huge spotlight on himself while being so lame a fighter has hurt the sport more than helped
This is making the rounds on social media right now:
Pacquiao was in the red corner while Mayweather was in the blue corner.
Tons of folks are saying how boxing is dead. Boxing won’t die. If anything you always have mma fighters calling out boxers. Its a given that they want a piece of some of that boxing money.
Sorry, I like Triple G but I don’t see him beating Floyd. At best I could see a repeat of Maidana - Floyd 1 happening there. Maybe before the first Maidana fight Golovkin could have a run but I think Floyd learned a bunch from that fight for dealing with brawlers. I’d still like to see it, out of everyone out there he probably has the best shot. I honestly doubt Mayweather is worried, didn’t seem bothered taking on Alvarez and Maidana when they were building hype.
I like how people say there isn’t any excitement and this killed boxing when
They ignored a great ass Lucas Matthysse - Ruslan Provodnikov fight a week ago.
Will ignore a potential great fight between Canelo Alverez and James Kirkland next week
And will ignore the Triple G fight two weeks from now.
ALL THIS SHIT FOR FREE (I think). People are just lazy as fuck, if it isn’t shoved in their face they won’t notice it.
The cards on spike and nbc were damn good really
You must be on crack. Golovkin would murder Floyd. Weight classes exist for a reason and his body punches are disgusting.
People here in the Philippines still don’t get it and it is really annoying. Even my sister is irked that I don’t support Manny. I was pointing out that I appreciate the loss because Floyd did his homework. It’s like Manny no longer listens to Roach. It think he listens more to his “Jesus Christ hallelujiah” brothers instead.
I called out Filipinos in Facebook for being hypocrites for their so called “Pinoy Pride”. Where were they whe Donaire boxed? Donnie Nietes is now the longest reigning Filipino champion surpassing Flash Elorde but still unappreciated.
My old man did not even bother watching because he knew floyd will win this one. He said the difference maker was Manny focused on boxing plus basketball plus politics plus his “bible study” while floyd focused on winning. He liked Manny when he was a boxer, now he is a joke and more of a celebrity.
He was there in the audience when thrilla in manila happened, he saw duran, hearns, haggler fight on our old black and white TV back then and now he considers mayweather as one of them greats because all of them focused on boxing. Manny, not anymore.
Well here is the May boxing schedule if anyone is interested. Days of the fights I will create a group pm and send out all te links. Probably will help with the new boxing traffic we are getting.

That has got to be false. You didn’t even need to hear from the judges to know that Manny was losing from the points, it was just that obvious. I was even saying to myself watching it live that if they give manny the win then it would be an obvious robbery. I still think that clinching distrupted allot of the momento though but floyd had other factors such as his straight rights that totally put manny at distance, nevertheless everytime manny got threw that his whole momento was reset by the clitching. I sort of agree with saito though that regardless of the clitching, Mayweather would still have been the winner or the fight would have been closer than it was last night.
Especially when they’re quick to resort to racial slurs, but complain when any hint of anti-Filipino sentiment appears.
Accepting defeat was never our strong suit as a race. As they say, there’s always a winner, and the other guy was cheated out of a win somehow. lol
Hype. Send em my way When the time comes.
…It’s not false, it’s just a funny mistake. It’s not a big deal that the corners were mixed up, it’s not like they were focusing on those rather than the actual names of the boxers.
