Looking at his record and I don't see any recognizable name. Never heard of Rosado either but I see he lost to Angulo. Is Rosado even a step up or is Golovkin getting fed another bum?
Everyone has ducked him! How can you fight a name when the names have pulled out or avoided. He was set to fight Pirog until Pirog pulled out with a sore *****.
You guys are all aware that Geale just lost his title because he opted for Mundine instead right? You are all aware Quillin turned down a fight with him right? You are all aware he was going to fight Pirog before he blew his back out, right? You are all aware Dibella went on a tirade at the mention of him right? These are facts.
So he should just fight a junior middle at the middleweight limit instead? Geale will make loads more money and avenge a loss on his record, Quillin already had a hometown fight scheduled (though I think he clearly wants nothing to do with him), and it's entirely fair for DiBella to react that way when Golovkin has nothing even close to a mandate to fight the best guy in the division. The only guys who have legitimately ducked Golovkin were N'Jikam and Sturm, and even there Golovkin's screwy promotional status made him just as unappealing as his skills in the ring.
Dang, how could i forget this KO at 2:52. Then again, this is amateurs. Pros is different. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLaNwWP95jA[/ame]
Why are you so against Sergio taxing that ass? What the **** are you scared of that it needs to be justified for not happening. There isn't one semi-legitimate boxing ranking system out there that doesn't have Golovkin amongst the top middleweight contenders. The who has he beat angle doesn't work in 2012. Top ten contenders rarely ever fight, period.
I know that Sakio Bika offered to fight Golovkin in his next fight and he was turned down and now Golovkin is fighting Rosado... Tell me GGG nuthuggers why is the mighty Golovkin ducking Sakio Bika??
I'm not against the fight, but I'm a little sick of the poor Golovkin narrative. The fact that he has a thin resume isn't entirely his fault but it also isn't the fault of the top guy in the division either, especially when Golovkin was pretty much unable to fight anyone worth a damn for years thanks in part to his own promotional situation. Top ten contenders may nit fight as frequently as years past, but you have to beat more than one of them for ducking accusations to be the least bit credible IMO. I'm likewise sick of the "anyone from 154-168" hype when he was prepared to ask two guys who can barely make 168 to fight him at a catchweight and is now facing a junior middle at the middleweight limit.
