BoxRec - Dominic Wade
In the past, I haven't agreed with several of GGG's opponents. But I think Wade is very good choice.

Re: Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade
Another lamb for the slaughter. I still can't believe that after all this time GGG can't secure a decent fight against a more dangerous opponent. Why is the GGG vs Jacobs fight not happening? Especially after Jacobs blasted out Quillin in 1.

Re: Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade
GGG is going to be old before gets a big fight. It's getting a little bit comical now. It's a shame.
-
Re: Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade
Golovkin will put more effort in the interview than he does scoring the early tko over Wade.
-
Re: Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade
GGG who is he going to fight OR there again who wants to fight him not many, he is a very very good
fighter Canelo does not fancy the job or did Sergio when he was about Golovkin can only fight who they put in front of him the so called super stars don't fancy there chances do they.;)

This explains why when GGG cracks you in the mouth it feels like you have been kicked by a mule

He's old now. He's going to have to get a lot older before Alvarez fights him.

Re: Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade
How is Wade getting a shot , he beat an ancient Soilman via SD .He has beaten nobody else of note and will be KOED inside 4.
-
Re: Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade
GGG has to have a crap fight and then watch the contenders/champions want to fight him. At least Saunders is honest, GGG is too good for everyone. Even Eubank Junior would not fight him.

His choices? He hasn’t had any. He's been frozen out by a collection of frauds. He's cleaned out the division and those "name" fighters left run for the fog. Now he's honouring his mandatory which is what the others won’t do. He himself has been a mandatory for 2 freakin years. And look who the fake is fighting. Khan. It’s as if there are two different professional boxing leagues going on. One that operates in the honour of the sport, its history and fundamentals like the one Golovkin operates from and the other make my own weight, dishonour the sport and reduce it to a caricature.

I'm not biased towards white fighters as you are for black , I'm not racist , and also I'm far from being retarded , unlike you with your baseball cap on side wards. We have all see that look when people down on their luck waiting for loose change , now that is a retarded look and you carry it off very well.

I find it more than interesting that I get a warning by the saddoboxing mods, for saying that Triple G and Kovalev are over hyped because they are white. That's mild. Been on Saddo for 11 years. For the first 10 years did not even mention race because I knew that people would freak out. But yet I had to go on the "Let's Get It On" or the "Off Topic" forums and listen to all sorts racial stereotyping
But here is you who makes underhand statements black people begging on the streets with their cap on sideways and you get a free pass ? And then you say I'm a poor representation for black people ?
And then you say you are not racist
Yeah OK. There is one rule, for one people and another. And @Master if this get's me banned. So be it. I don't give a fuck.

Bitch - I don't know why you speak to me like that when you know I'll kill you for it.
But in all seriousness - I'm done with you.
Because it will turn into a "Last Man Talking" contest. Wannabe debaters like you, are like amateur gunslingers. All you do is just point & shoot.

Re: Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade
Just heard about this fight today. Haven't really been following GGG since he turned down the opportunity to fight Andre Ward to fight David Lemieux. Besides Alvarez's wanting to fight him at 155, which is as good as ducking if you're a middleweight champion, then who else is ducking him because I can think of a few middleweights that I think would have been a greater challenge than Dominic Wade, who I have never heard of. It's also hypocritical to be like "everyone is ducking me" when 1) everyone isn't and 2) you're ducking someone else. This is just another resume padding KO victory for GGG. We all know when people start playing up the fact that someone is a mandatory, that it's an excuse for a fight that shouldn't be happening. GGG hasn't cleared out this division and there is still plenty of good fighters before you get to Dominic Wade.

1.Everyone is ducking him. and
2. How can he be ducking someone who doesn't fight ? and when he does fight, he fights 2 weight divisions above him?:rolleyes:

1. Just saying it doesn't make it so. Who has personally come out and said I will not fight GGG? I want to see the offer sheets his team has made to the top 10 contenders along with their rejection rejection letters before I just take the "everybody is ducking him" as gospel.
2. Andre Ward does fight. He fought in 2015 and 2016. Furthermore he has gone on record as saying GGG team turned down a fight with him in 2015.
Quote:
In response, Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler contacted the Los Angeles Times to clarify the 'context' of the rejection.
Loeffler said the offer was for a 50-50 purse-split in 2016, after each fighter had prepared by taking one more fight earlier in the year.
'It would've been a bad deal to take,' he told the Los Angeles Times.
Obviously the fight would be at a catchweight, the same type of offer that Alvarez is being knocked for.
So everybody is not ducking him. And if the ascertain is that all middleweight contenders are ducking him, then where is the proof of that? Where is the proof that Dominic Wade is the best contender out there that was willing to take this fight, because at this point that is who GGG should be fighting.

Who are you?
Not really sure what your point is. I believe you're implying that because I don't post often or haven't made a "name" for myself on this forum that I shouldn't have a say on this matter. Things like that don't don't concern me, I'm offering up, what I think, is a valid criticism on GGG career so far. How is it possible to discern how goog GGG is when he is consistently fighting the Dominic Wade's of the boxing world. We already know he is better than guys like that, what still remains a mystery is if he is better than the upper echelon of the sport. If he is being ducked by all the top middleweights, than lets see the evidence of that. You don't think his team could force the hand of a top middleweight contender, in this day and age of social media? Post up your offer sheets and rejection and let the internet take over. All I'm saying is that he should be fighting better opponents than this.

Why don't you get a job as GGG's matchmaker or manager?
After all, you think it's really easy to get these fights for him.
You are absolutely entitled to your opinion regardless of how often you post, so I'll ask YOU who you think GGG should be fighting that he hasn't done?
When you answer that, I'll be able to reply.
Btw , Ward DID fight in 2015, you are right. He was 12lbs heavier than what GGG fights at and his opponent was 16 lb heavier and not in the top 100 LHW's in the World.
And yes, he has fought in 2016 , at 15lbs heavier than what GGG fights at.
So Golovkin should fight Ward should he?

So Golovkin should fight Ward should he?
Either of those positions would be bad for me, as I'm not interested in what's best for GGG from a business stand point, but what is best for me as a fan. I want to see GGG fighting Alvarez, Cotto, or Daniel Jacobs. I'll even take an up and comer like Chris Eubank Jr. I think any of those fighters would have been a better match up than Dominic Wade. I already said that Alvarez wanting to defend the middleweight title at 155 was as good as a duck, and I know Cotto hasn't been wafting about fighting GGG, but he hasn't ruled it out and I remember Roach being up for that fight. I have never heard anything about Jacobs ducking him though or Eubank Jr.
People overuse words like ducking and robbery when it comes to boxing and there is also a lot of hyperbole when it comes to this sport. Have people ducked GGG, yes, I already made mention of that, but has everyone, absolutely not. If you are going to say everyone is ducking him than there should be evidence to back that up. We already know, because of Ward, that that is false. If you want to say every middleweight is ducking him I doubt that as well as I can't recall Jacobs or Eubank Jr. refusing to fight GGG.
Also this is the same guy who called out Floyd Mayweather and said he would crush him and he isn't a middleweight. So isn't hypocritical to then use that same logic to discount Andre Ward? I don't care if he fights Ward or not, all I'm saying, as I have said from the beginning, is he shouldn't be fighting the likes of Dominic Wade because he is better than that and as a fan that isn't a fight that I or I think a lot of others would like to see when there are other more attractive options out there.

Re: Gennady Golovkin vs. Dominic Wade
Golovkin holds the WBC interim, WBA and the IBF. He tried to make Fights with both Canelo (WBC Linear) and Saunders (WBO) in an effort to fight the other champs and win all the belts. Saunders turtled and said he wasn't ready even though it was for more money that he's ever made and after Golovkin moved on to the next option, Saunders started making noise. Canelo has been hemming and hawing and said hes not ready yet.
Wade is his IBF mandatory, the next option in Line. Its necessary to preserve his IBF title, whats the point of picking up the another belt if you're gonna drop one at the same time. He already stated his goal was to have all the belts before he moved up.
Also how his Golovkin trying to fight Canelo (and by extension Cotto) like Ward trying to fight Golovkin. I don't remember Golovkin going up to light heavy winning a title (Much less the linear championship) and creeping back below the weight limit.
Maybe weight hopping is fine for Ward, Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto and others that are chasing checks instead of legacy. Golovkin made a challenge to mayweather (The supposed best fighter in the world) he didn't offer to go down and challenge any fighter. Wards motives were pretty transparent even though he thought he was being coy. Golovkin stated his desire to fight ward before but he wasn't a big enough name till Ward sat out for years and people forgot who he was and the checks stopped rolling in. In that time Golovkin had built his brand and Ward figured he was some kind of peoples champ emeritus was just going to hop in and challenge and undersized fighter who was at the top of the game and demand a weight advantage and a 50/50 split to recover everything he pissed away of his inactivity. When GGG told him to go to hell, ward threw a tantrum and started name calling. If you want to call it a timing issue, I'd settle for that... Boxing is all about who's hot at the moment... but respect what the guys is trying to accomplish like fighters throughout history by playing within the rules and clearing out a division and winning all the titles. If ward wants to hop divisions and fight selectively for money than that's fine as long as he earns his shot instead of leap frogging guys who earn their rankings.
