    Didn't Geale throw his belt in the trash can to avoid Golovkin?

    No way. List them.

    This is getting ridicolous, gents. Why the hell is Golovkin so avoided? Explain it to me.

    WBA titleholder, Hassan N'dam N'Jikam also dropped his belt and avoided the purse bid for Golovkin. WTF...

    He's avoided because he is dangerous but couldn't fill a village hall. I don't blame fighters for avoiding him.

    I still think the only ones who can actually be accused of ducking are N'Jikam and Sturm. Maybe Quillin based on his ridiculous statements, although the Proksa fight would have been on short notice, the Rosado fight was on a Top Rank card, and he now has the network conflict as a legit reason to prevent any future bout.

    I like Golovkin but him looking deadly against bums while bringing 0 fanbase will only make it harder for him to land big fights. High risk low reward.

    He only had 2 fights on HBO and just look at the hype behind this kid. I'm very sure he could fill MSG with the right opponent.

    Quillin-Golovkin would be sold out in a minute.

    Sturm dudcked him for years. Mundine backed out of a fight as did Geale.

    It's ridiculous really. Titleholders dropping belts to avoid Gennady.

    And dont come up with this "high risk low reward" crap.
    It's a big reward if you beat the immensely hyped HBO sensation Golovkin plus you get 2 belts wrapped around your waist.

    Step up, punks.
