    What has Sturm done lately? He got a gift against Macklin, and he just got outhustled by Geale. Sturm was never that good, but at his best, he was better than he showed in those two outings. By the way, old ass 60 year old Javier Castillejo, stopped, a younger better version of Sturm. Which doesn't say much for Macklin and Geale.

    How's he ever going to fight the best if they won't fight him?

    Golovkin fought only D level fighters.

    Why? Because Geale beat him?

    Credit where it's due. Geale is top 5. No shame in losing to him.

    Exactly so. the top guys aren't exactly "ducking" him, if they can legitimately say he hasn't earned a shot yet.

    That's why Golovkin needs fight/beat a strong mid-level guy who is an undefeated KO artist, and who currently has a lot of network exposure & hype behind him.
    Someone like, oh I dunno, Thurman maybe? :D

    Pirog,Sturm,N'Dam,Qullin certainly doesn't want it etc

    So no one has ducked GGG except ya know,all the top MW fighters.

    I don't think you quite understand, he is calling out top 5 guys they wont fight him, he should fight a top 15 guy first look good and earn a shot against a top 5 guy.

    That would be a fight but Thurman gets KOd. GGG can punch as hard as Thurman and box. Thurman can only punch.

    I agree, but this fight is a win-win-win-win.

    1: The fans get to see an exciting match, which might actually not be a walk-in-the-park for Golovkin. (We might even see Golovkin's chin & heart tested, which we really haven't seen yet.)

    2: The networks get an exciting fight to broadcast, with two explosive fighters that have recently been in the public eye.

    3: Golovkin gets a reasonably important win on his resume, which will help him get the fights he really wants.

    4: Thurman would most likely lose, and he desperately needs a dose of cold hard reality. One devastating loss could be the best thing that ever happens to him. Imagine how good he could be if he started to actually worry about defense.

    Pirog with his fake ass injury sounds like a perfect ducker to me. :hat

    Lou DiBella ducked GGG too, he doesn't want Martinez in the ring with him.

    They all duck GGG.
