Two days ago, Abel Sanchez ruled out the possibility of bouts between GGG and hungry up-and-coming lions like Jacobs, Andrade, Charlo and Saunders, because they’re “
young fighters” that “
bring nothing to the table” and they also needed to “
prove themselves” in order to “
earn the right” to share the ring with Golovkin.
Sanchez also stated that only box office fights “make sense” at this late stage of Gennady’s career, so name recognition is a key consideration factor.
Finally, Abel also didn’t sound too keen on GGG facing Callum Smith, because Gennady is small middleweight and “
168lbs is a big stretch for him”.
I can easily share a video where you can see the man himself saying these things if anyone fancies challenging me on this!
This is obviously a complete turnaround on Team GGG’s previous long-time boasts, whereby they persistently claimed that Golovkin was able to compete against and also beat the very best fighter's in their natural habitat, ranging from 154lbs to 175lbs. They also said that Gennady was even dominating cruiserweights in sparring.
It’s kind of ironic how times have changed!
• Is Golovkin “ducking” Andrade, Charlo, Saunders and arguably Jacobs, because of his preference to chase bigger paydays?
• Did Team GGG lie all along about Golovkin’s ability to compete in all the weight classes ranging from 154lbs to 175lbs, because he’s never once attempted to justify his boasts by actually proving it?
I don’t want to portray myself as a “hater”, but I surely can’t be the only human being on this planet that accurately recalls Abel Sanchez’s contradictory statements?
Didn’t GGG’s die-hard fans aggressively ridicule Gennady’s peers for doing the same thing Abel Sanchez claims that Golovkin is choosing to do right now?
Ami I being unreasonable or am I simply stating the obvious?
