Gennady Golovkin Next Fight: Scenarios If Miguel Cotto Or Saul ‘Canelo
Visitors to the Metropolitan Museum of Art can be separated into two categories. The low PPV sales turnout was compensated by the huge gate revenue from the fully sold out tickets at Madison Square Garden.
On the surface, there would appear to be many similarities between Manny Pacquiao and middleweight champ Gennady Golovkin, but those similarities don’t extend beyond the very, very superficial ones.
The big question at the end of this fight; who’s next?
The former middleweight and light heavyweight champion intimated about a possible fight with middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin.
In a coming out party of sorts, Golovkin battered Lemieux at will before referee Steve Griffith mercifully stopped the fight in the eighth round with the Canadian taking a beating on the ropes. I would love to feel the heaviest blow from the hardest puncher. Against a guy like Golovkin, he was going to get really hurt. I will definitely bring it and give all I can.
Golovkin was also an unexpected surprise for Curtis Stevens, who was floored five months later in round two of their encounter, and his appalled reaction became a viral hit on Twitter. Timeless art, after all, can be exhibited in several ways and on several levels. I am a boxer too. That he is the anti-Mayweather, far more thrilling inside the ring, more humble and self-effacing outside it, makes him ideal for the role. Golovkin’s jab revealed itself to be stiff, accurate and a damaging weapon in its own right. It’s a tough part of my training.
He is now selling out arenas across country, where fans have traveled great distances to watch the fighter simply known as “Triple G”. If that is the case, then perhaps dad and mom contributed to Golovkin’s ability to chop down rivals as easily as an especially powerful lumberjack wielding his ax on a skinny tree.
Does the thought of Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin excite you? Is it physics? The analytics crew draws heavily on Sir Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion, the last of which explains the transformation of potential energy into kinetic energy. When you’re talking about a bigger man, Golovkin is going to have to give himself the handicap of moving up a weight because at middleweight, he just looks unstoppable. It would represent a clash of power against power, of irresistible force against immovable object. That bout, if it happens, would likely be on Cinco de Mayo weekend, which in the past has been reserved for Floyd Mayweather Jr. fights.
The WBC has stipulated that the Cotto-Alvarez victor has only 15 days to determine whether he will fight Golovkin.
Tom Loeffler, the promoter of WBA and IBF champion Gennady Golovkin, says that the hard-hitting middleweight will consider a future fight with Chris Eubank Jnr. Canelo has proven he’ll get in the ring pretty much with everybody at 154 [pounds]. “I would love to fight “GGG” when the time and opportunity come, more than willing and able to… when the time comes”. “Canelo”, however, seems more interested in meeting Golovkin, and the Mexican is actually the favorite over Cotto. The crowd roared to life any time Golovkin’s name or image flashed across the big screen.
