Bob Arum Tells Gennady Golovkin Stop Fighting "Stumblebums", Come To 168 For Big Money

[patscorpio]

Those arent more money to me. He isnt a big MW. I dont think he should move up to 168 full time for a while yet. But if he follows through on the 154-1688 comment the only fights worth moving up for would be Froch, JCC, DeGale, and Ward. The other guys arent interesting or money fights, plus some are PBC fighters so not possible.

At 160 i still like the winner of Lemiuex-N'Dam, Andy Lee...and of course holding out for Canelo or Cotto. If we want to mention PBC fighters, Quillin and Jacobs are good fights as well.

im all for GGG facing Lee or Lemieux-N'dam...because its for the purpose of unification and they can be easily made..GGG wants to become the man at 160 and that's a goal I can respect and there's no haymon/promoter foolery that can stand in that way.

Cotto can only fake jacks for so long at middleweight

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

He aint lying

Now ask yourself how many times have we said that in the last 5 years...

GGG has no excuses...This strategy of begging WW's to fight him while ducking dudes at 168 is beyond pathetic imo...

Who is he begging at WW? He said he would fight Floyd and even stated that it was because it was the fight every fighter in boxing wanted. It is the financial lottery.
Cotto isn't a WW any more...he holds the lineal MW belt and has fought his last two fights at MW. It is up to Cotto to decide what weight class he is in. If he wants to stay at MW then a GGG fight is natural, not posturing to take advantage of a smaller fighter.
Canelo hasn't made JMW for a while and weighs the same as GGG walking around. His full time move to MW is a matter of how soon he chooses to, everyone knows it is coming eventually.

So where all these WW's he is calling out?

And GGG signed to fight JCC at 168, also just pursued to fight Froch in the UK and Froch couldn't commit. He also said he would fight Ward, but the money for either fighter isn't right. So where is the blatant ducks at 168?

All the while fighting at 160, which is his natural weight class.

Don't pay these cats any mind. They obviously don't like GGG and wanna see him lose badly.

So they make up nonsense and run with these bullshyt narratives all because they're mad their favorite fighter doesn't get the love/push from HBO that GGG does

He's straight up ducking Ward, that's a fight that can be made tonight if GGG wants it...

He said he'll fight Ward the same way Cotton said he'd fight GGG...He was put on the spot and told the crowd what they wanted to hear...Meanwhile this mothafukka who never been on PPV nevermind actually headlining one is telling boxing writers no because Andre Ward isn't a PPV star...shyt is...

I have no problem with GGG trying to get the Cotton fight cuz that opportunistic diva ass Rican holds the 160 strap...but begging Floyd and Manny for a fight is crazy imo...Both him and his manager mentioned both of them saying GGG would come down to 154...He too big for both of them cats...

I don't know what the deal is with Froch, I think he said he's retiring...IMO he's legit scared of GGG but his people want to make the fight...I do know GGG signed to fight JCC and Arum killed that fight the first time...Don't know where that's at now since JCC got KO'd...

Bottomline is yes, he doesn't have a lot of good options, 160 and 168 are weak divisions...but he does have one...GGG does have a fight that can be made right now...His reason for not pursuing Ward is bullshyt...

Yup but we're the ones hating because we see through these

 

[merklman]

Wasnt Ward recently begging Floyd for a fight at 160?

Why doesnt Ward come down to 160 for GGG

don't lie to the people that was in response to Floyd talking shyt

 

[mr. smoke weed]

off the top of my head

Degale,Groves, Dirrell bros, Bika, Ramirez, Rodriguez, Froch, Ward

in comparison to

Gaele , Rubio , Monroe Jr, Stevens, Macklin


168 isn't that attractive coming from nikkas who were hyping up Monroe Jr and Gaele

GGG fighting worst competition than #BeterBeasts smh

 

[merklman]

don't lie to the people that was in response to Floyd talking shyt

Ward stated on the social networks – "Lil Floyd says he spars middleweights. He is the only man I will sacrifice coming to 160 for. He won't take that bait!!!"

floyd was talking shyt? More like floyd was talking common sense, let me refresh your memory on what had sob-gang all /

Mayweather said Ward "can't sell tickets nowhere. He can't sell tickets in Las Vegas. This is the only guy I know that's a gold medalist, but don't nobody know he's a gold medalist. …If you're not in Oakland, you don't even know who he is.

He’s a good fighter, but who knows him? If you’re in Oakland you don’t even know who he is. He’s getting older and time is ticking, so I mean, when is he going to ever leave Oakland and put asses in seats somewhere else?"

and to add to that, Ward cant even sell out his home town arena in oakland
Look at big bad flabby Ward who cant even make 168 anymore, call out a guy who is 5ft7 and walks around at 150 but wont drop to fight GGG who isnt even a big MW

 

[krackdagawd]

GGG fighting worst competition than #BeterBeasts smh

You already seen it happen with Gaele, he a great opponent when GGG fights him but magically becomes a jobber when Cotto does.

 

[George's Dilemma]

once he beats vargas, tim bradley comin for that ass

Swear this looks like one of those old gang member photos. OG Neckbone from 12 & 1/2 Street Insanes back in 88". Tim looking kinda flabby though.

 

[THE MACHINE]

According to Team GGG none of those guys want to fight him which is why we get Monroe Jr fights. Meanwhile a whole division full of dudes who would fight him are in the cut but like I said they happen to be full time fighters

Breh, you know if you don't have a part time job a Wegman's, you got no shot a fighting GGG.

You see im out here keeping my foot on their neck

This dude been boxing a decade, a decade.

Let's look at the resumes of the dudes they have called out in comparison.

Cotto- 1 year younger than GGG -Judah, Mosley, Margarito 2x, Martinez, Mayweather, Pacman

Canelo- 10 years younger than GGG - Mosley, Mayweather, Lara

Mayweather-

You telling me they couldn't find one B fighter in 10 years not even by mistake they didn't run into 1 B fighter all these years in random gyms that would fight him.

Nah it's that everyone is ducking GGG.

All the scalps that passed through 154-160 in the last 10 years Breh can't even get a Charlo brother on his resume.

Then people have the nerve to talk about, the winner of Canelo and Cotto can face him. Like he is that dude
