GGG calls out Hopkins

[IamInuit]

The guy has balls that's for sure. If he was a bigger money fight than he is he might have a chance of fihting Hopkins.

Andre Ward also wants to fight Hopkins. Hilariously he thinks it's a PPV fight. You can't blame him for wanting to make the jump to PPV fighter but he's not really a PPV guy and neither is Hopkins or any other potential Ward opponent.

Agreed but I do feel sorry for the guy cause he cant seem to get the big fight and yet he is by far one of the most dangerous in the division. Just a sign of the times I guess. It really does not matter how good one actually is but rather the marketability. If he was a red haired Russian he would be at the top of the class

He's from Kazakhstan, the greatest country in the world.

Hopkins should take the offer, he would waltz around GGG.

Why, do you think Hopkins will get beat?

Difference with GGG is that he doesn't seem to be phased by anyone's power so far and he never stops pressuring. Cloud was outboxed and recently had not shown the kind of game changing power that GGG has. Golovkin is a dangerous dude for anyone to fight right now.

I think Hopkins could probably make more money fighting JC Jr though

Everyone makes more money fighting JC Jnr which is why Sergio is waiting for him.

I just can't see it that way. Like to see it happen, maybe as a co-main with Martinez vs GGG. PPV?

Yes, let GGG try to jump up to 175 and see what happens. He doesn't punch as hard as Pascal, Cloud or Dawson at that weight. I'd be surprised if he hits much harder than Pavlik did.

Combine that with GGG not being able to deal with lateral movement all that well and its a recipe for a Hopkins boxing lesson. Yes, even at 48 years old.

Does anyone know how the cloud/golovkin sparring session went?

[armin]

Well ggg seems to be fearless but he needs to chill, he'd be way undersized for lt heavy he's already a smallish middleweight. He's got hbo behind him now I think so he should just keep fighting whoever is put in front of him, win by spectacular ko and the big fights should come. If they don't he should take a page out of hayes book start talkin shit and lure one of the other names in to the ring, however it doesn't seem he has that within his character.

Spot on analysis of Golovkin. He is a nice fellow and def has HBO behind him so the big money fights will come. He is also very undersized for light heavyweight. He's undersized for a super middleweight as well. I'd say he wouldn't fare much better than Abraham did at that weight.
