Comments Thread For: HBO Exec on The Rise of Golovkin, Securing Top Opponents

[hitking]

I have never watch a HBO telecast because of Lampley! I'm not interested in any mismatches no matter what network it is! PBC has given more bad fights than anyone! How can Haymon have over 150 fighters & not give the fans good fights? It's all about the money! If the fans stop supporting these crappy fights, they'll have to change!

PBC has been putting on some good cards, especially recently.

Boxers are afraid of GGG. He'll secure a fight with a top tier boxer but either way; some will still criticize that he fights no one.

He needs to move up; comply and fight at catchweight, fight overseas, take less money, drug tests... To those who feel this way: Remember he's a middleweight; he complies or will comply; he defends all his titles; he wants to be undisputed; he wants all the titleholders; he wants the WBC and IBF titles.

So who can fight next? T Johnson hurt; he's IBF mandatory; BJ Saunders wants things on his term- a no one until he just won the WBO; Canelo wants a catchweight at 155- he's the WBC/Ring; Blanco is the WBA interim; Eubanks the WBA #1; & the IBO #1/WBA Regular is Daniel Jacobs. These are his option; who should he face?

What can GGG do to get a little respect? He's the unified MW Champ and the ones who are preventing his undisputed-ship are Saul and BJ: who are avoiding him. Nay sayers will argue every opponent faces and beats...

SMH...

Another tune up

There's an expiration date on **** like that. GGG has led a pretty charmed existance as an HBO darling. But, he's about to get a chance to see how it looks over on the B-side. His team appears to be pretty gullible. But even they can't believe HBO is gonna side with them over Canelo. And I have a sneaky feeling that the Pac-Bradley winner is a major player for Canelo in Sept. So I hope Team GGG isn't caught with their pants down then, like they've been for this Apr date.

The reality is, GGG is putting his career on hold to do something he's already accomplished. You say he wants to be undisputed champ. Guess what, he already is in the mind of every semi-knowledgeable fight fan. And beating a B class paper beltholder like Billy Joe and a Canelo, who's never even beaten a legitimate middleweight isn't gonna enhance anything.

First off, you can't compare BJ to Alvarez. One has a lineal belt...and Alvarez has fought elites.

GGG is all hype. I have more respect for Conor McGregor for the simple fact that he trash talks his way through divisions, FIGHTS the undisputed, and then beats him. The point Conor uses ''I want to fight the best'' and look at now he's moving up a division to fight the Champion dos Anjos. Maybe GGG could learn something from Conor.

Still think Peter Quillin beats GGG?

Maybe. A puncher's chance is a trademark in boxing. I think Kid Chocolate has heavier hands than Lee or Stevens, so how GGG would take it, I'd assume he'd feel it more than what Lemieux layed down.

I've been saying Kid, Korobov, Lee, and Jacobs are what GGG needs to face. Saunders or Heiland are other Southpaws need to be tested for GGG. I mean that's 160. Let's see what other bums K2 offers with low cash offers approved by HBO.

HBO's garbage. at least their intro header shows Alvarez and Crawford. With GGG and Kovalev as their main intro of boxers represents what exactly? A European market appeal? I mean what is it? Seeing as Alvarez is the cash boy and has the most fans you'd think logically he'd be #1 then Pac, Crawford, and so on...

But we know what time it is with demographic marketing. Happy Floyd shamed HBO and had Merchant fired from the network. HBO and its executives had to eat it =)

I'm glad to see you've rewritten history in your mind lol

Hey man, if you want, I'll send you a ''Fight Bums'' t-shirt and Floyd syringe stickers cool?!

What comes after Canelo?
