Gennady Golovkin's promoter says talks to fight Daniel Jacobs have been 'positive'

[boxing_rocks]

The GGG camp are in big water

They're getting fooled again. Canelo, CEJ and BJS did it and now it's Jacobs turn.

I am afraid so. Should've pushed for the purse bid in October.

[jamesmcdonnell]

would just move to uk if i were GGG, we seem to have a never ending conveyer belt of middles/supermiddles over here, fights against saunders, eubank, degale, groves, smith and whoever else turns up would make him a fortune

Yes, I thought the same myself, he'd do well over here, however, BJS and Eubank Jr have shown no desire to fight him.

[Tanzio]

The "nobody will fight poor mistreated 3G" crap has gotten old and dusty and blown away.

Who thinks that Jacobs has more than a popsicle's chance in hell v 3G? How about GingerHead?

So, this whole thing comes down to jack o lantern face not having the nutz to take a real challenge, not the hapless bastards who would most certainly take a severe beating.

Nut up 3G and go north to big boy country.

Yeah, and then Canelo will be walking around calling himself the best middleweight. No, Golovkin needs to stay, get the remaining belt and either beat Canelo or make him look as a coward.

3G has already made GingerHead look like a coward. People who think that Jacobs and GingerHead have a legit opportunity to defeat 3G are threatened with extinction. Even Jacobs and GingerHead know they have little chance other tha 3G getting old overnight.

If what JD has suggested is true and Team 3G recognizes that they are not suited to challenging the SMW "monsters," I have no problem with it. However, 3G and his team and his fans should stop with the "we will fight anyone from 154 to 175" horse kaka.

Just be the bully you are at 160 and stfu.

Yeah that probably would be a solid idea for him.

He has stopped with that. I haven't heard any of that talk for quite a while. I never wanted him to be anything but a Middleweight anyway.

[boxing_rocks]

There are no monsters at 168, and GGG will face the same situation after he beats a couple of top SMWs -- they will start avoiding him.

175 is too much for him. He can beat Ward, but will have problems with harder punching or volume punching guys.

It is claimed on this forum nearly daily.

Let's get it straight. 3G fought a very good fighter from two classes below him in his last fight. What did Ward just do?

I have been a 3G fan since he showed on the scene. I have eviscerated Ward mercilessly on here for nearly half a decade.

That does not color my current opinion that Ward defeated Krusher (who I was rooting for) and he has accomplished far more than 3G has and the man from Oakland is currently the best boxer on the planet.

Maybe Krusher will change that in the rematch. And if Ward avoids the rematch I will eviscerate him for it.

Ward didn't beat Kovalev.

I agree he's far more accomplished than Golovkin I don't think that can be disputed. That was the case whether he ever fought Kovalev or not. I don't know if Ward will avoid the Kovalev rematch, but he'd definitely demand it be in Oakland and demand an even bigger share of the purse.

People on forums talking about GGG moving to 154, 168 or 175 doesn't mean anything. Fans speculate. It's what they do. Unless the fighter or his team are seriously talking about it I wouldn't think much of it. I know GGG has mentioned it before, but he didn't sound like he was ever saying it with much conviction to me. As I recall it was put to him as "Would you go down to 154 or 168 for a big fight"...and his response was "Why not?"

I've never heard Golovkin bring it up. Other people have brought it up to him, but he's never brought it up himself, which I take to mean it's not something he's thinking all that seriously about.

Krusher lost gil. You and everyone else still whining about it need to get over it.

Box of Rocks is making excuses about why 3G can't climb up the ladder and fight a LHW while simultaneously claiming that 3G would beat Ward.

It is pathetic.

What is pathetic is Tanzidiot refusing to accept obvious things and trolling. Keep your marital issues outside of this forum.

I'm not whining. I'm just acknowledging what I saw. Kovalev won the fight. JLC beat Mayweather in the 1st fight too. It's not whining to point out the way you saw it go down.

I'm already over it, I was over it the second the scorecards were read because I wasn't the least bit surprised by it. Controversial decisions are commonplace and when you've been watching Boxing for as long as I have you become numb to controversial decisions because you've seen it more times than you can count, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't point out the man who deserved the win whenever the fight is brought up in conversation.

Pointing out is one thing, claiming it was a robbery is another. That fight could have gone either way so, yes, it was controversial, but the butthurt claims of robbery (over and over and over) are pure crap, and they will be for as long as they are made, and they will never change the outcome.

The judges got it right through competence, ineptitude or corruption.

Hopefully Krusher will get another chance to get it right. But my biggest problem is still with the pr!cks who continue to denigrate what Ward AND Krusher did in there that night. They were both tremendous, gave there all and fought to damned close to a draw.

[gilgamesh]

I thought it was a good competitive fight fought at a high level as well. I don't know that it was the kinda fight you'd want see too many times, but it was definitely fought at a high level by both guys. You don't see many matchups like that in this sport, and it was as competitive as it was thought to be going in.

[Tanzio]

I have watched it three times counting prior to the Walters no mas fiasco. I think that it holds up well.

As has been the case with previous fights, you have been just as annoying as the whiners, and in fact have turned into a moaner about the moaners.

Somebody posts that they disagreed with the decision? Here comes Tanzio immediately to the rescue so the arguments just drag on! It's like you're on autopilot after a fight and can help but complain; I remember after Diaz-McG II, Gil said that it was an awesome fight which he had McG winning, yet even then you whined that he wasn't giving due credit

Anyway, I hope GGG gets at least one of Jacobs, Saunders, or Canelo in 2017. I've lost my energy for keeping track of all the evasion and political nonsense.

Yeah, and then Canelo will be walking around calling himself the best middleweight. No, Golovkin needs to stay, get the remaining belt and either beat Canelo or make him look as a coward.

3G has already made GingerHead look like a coward. People who think that Jacobs and GingerHead have a legit opportunity to defeat 3G are threatened with extinction. Even Jacobs and GingerHead know they have little chance other tha 3G getting old overnight.

If what JD has suggested is true and Team 3G recognizes that they are not suited to challenging the SMW "monsters," I have no problem with it. However, 3G and his team and his fans should stop with the "we will fight anyone from 154 to 175" horse kaka.

Just be the bully you are at 160 and stfu.

You should stfu because you're bats... The biggest money fights for Golovkin in the last 6 years were always at Middleweight: ... Martinez, Chavez, Cotto, Canelo, Quillion, Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank.. Ward wants all of the money like Canelo.. but GGG tried to move to 168 periodically for the last 4 years, trying to get an acclimation fight for Ward with Robriguez, Oostheiuzen, Chavez, and Froch... Ward got 3 acclimation fights at 175, Golovkin wanted 1 for 168 and couldn't get it... He's an Eastern European and getting fights are like pulling teeth.. All he can do if fight the beat available fighter who will fight him.. He still has time to fight all these Middleweights and go up in weight sometime in the future.

[apollo creed]

The funny thing is the biggest money fight for Canelo / BJS or Jacobs is against Golovkin, especially for Canelo.

[Enlightened-One]

The funny thing is the biggest money fight for Canelo / BJS or Jacobs is against Golovkin, especially for Canelo.

The big draw out of all the names you've mentioned is Canelo.

Jacobs and Billy Joe Saunders will earn more facing Canelo than Golovkin.

Golovkin would earn more fighting Canelo than sharing the ring with the likes of Jacobs or Billy Joe Saunders.

Canelo is the current PPV A-side boxer... and the numbers don't lie.

The Mexican's fight against Khan generated more PPV revenue than Golovkin's PPV against Brook. The ginger one also earned much more than his Kazakh rival.
