Golovkin v Steve Rolls

[Gandalf]

I can see it both ways. There is loyalty and all that, but at the same time, anyone who posts here could fill in as GGGs trainer if hes going to be taking easy fights.

"Anyone"? Does that include Miles?

Seriously though, I'd have to know the particulars first. Did Abel ask for a million dollar raise? Did GGG ask him to take a pay cut? I just don't know exactly what it's all about. It does seem odd, however, that a long time partnership would dissolve over money. The trainer is the Commander in Chief of your corner and your training for fights. Fighters owe their trainers a ton of credit. Seems disloyal to say the least to let go of a trainer over money. It'd be another thing if the trainer had outlived his usefulness and had nothing to offer in terms of raising your game to the next level. All fighters have ebbs and flows in quality of opponents. Doesn't mean you dump an Abel Sanchez. Then again maybe there's something they're not telling us. Maybe GGG holds a bit of a grudge in thinking it's somehow Abel's fault he didn't beat Ginger decisively enough to force the judges to grudgingly give him the nod. Who knows.

You lost me at including miles.

I would train you in a heartbeat. My kind of training.

Yeah, cuz one beat is all your heart could manage, you fumbling imbecile.

Oscar Wilde is probably not missing the Internet very much.

Haha, Thanks miles, I really like Oscar wilde.

Funk Abel Sanchez, it's not a father/son-Ward/Virgil relationship, he's only been with Golovkin for half-a-dozen years and was chosen from any amount of trainers. Why? Most likely because Big Bear is a lovely gaff to train and Sanchez is great with the media (consider Golovkin couldn't speak a lick of English).

Golovkin had over 500 fights before either knew the other existed.

This is par for the course throughout boxing history - boxer/trainer/manager/promoter fall out over dosh.

Anyone surprised who supports GGG no matter what? Fandom, a remarkable thing. Be a scumbag, I don’t care I love you. Be a good guy, I don’t care I love you.

It’s a bad look, the worse look is the names on his CV. Hell of a career but also a huge “what could have been”. Abel can get f’d, he’s s racist piece of trash. Good trainer though, much like Roach, racist piece of trash, good trainer. Maybe it’s just part of being a famous trainer.

GGG will be interesting when he makes an interesting fight, I won’t hold my breath

Abel Sanchez... yeah, he's racist.

Roach is also, but had he omitted the word "Mexican" and just said POS, and directed it at Rios (in the 2013 Macau confrontation), it would've been fine and more than accurate.

Don't forget, both Rios and Margacheato mocked Roach's Parkinson's disease a few years earlier.

You left out his Anti-semitist remarks. I connect that directly to racism because it comes from the same people that separate and denigrate.

I’ve never once defended Rios or Margarito on any matter so I’m not sure how that applies. Are you saying if someone insults your condition you can then say racist and anti-semitic remarks to everyone around them and it’s okay?

If he said Rios was a POS I would have agreed with him, that’s not what he said, it’s not even who he directed his vitriol at.
