If GGG Is So Avoided...

And 168 and 154 have some very big names there. He said he'd go to both divisions, so damnit why hasn't he?

I personally know why he hasn't gone down to 154 because he can't

 

Because I'm sure the names at 154 that bring in the money and would be worth draining yourself for like Mayweather, Cotto and Canelo would love to fight Golovkin. atsch

 

GGG needs to step up his games and fast no more bums.

 

These guys dont want to fight him. The only person thats called him out in the last year or so was Stevens and GGG took that fight hella quick!!

and lets just be honest here...

Martinez is not fighting him anytime soon. he's trying very hard to fight Cotto and if he wins then he'll try to rematch just to dcuk the fight. If he loses then Cotto can fight GGG (man that would be sick) Mayweather or Canelo for Middle weight title.

I dont mind him fighting somebody thats not very good. its a stay busy fight. Hes one of the few boxers that fights 4 times a year. He said he'll be back in April. Martinez still wont be there, Kid Chocalte probably dont want he fight, so who knows who he fights.

I like how hes not gonna leave 160 till he gets the Middle weight championship of the world, not some WBA crap. and why hould we bash him??? Hopkins stayed middle champ for 10+ years till he finally lost to Taylor. People wanted him to move up but he didnt want to. Im happy GGG is grinding hard to get that title. he will be champ in 2014, probably his last fight

 

you need to learn something about boxing, as well as the English language.

GGG has offered to fight ANYONE from 154-168....few takers. He is, afterall, the consensus MW Champion of the World. You'd think some other Champion at 154, 160, or 168 would go after him, seeing he is all hype:rofl You boys are indeed in need of help.:yep

 

he actually did just name Quillen and Martinez in his post fight interview with Stevens.

Better question is : if Golovkin's not avoided, why aren't more people like Stevens calling him out to try and take his belt and HBO spotlight ?

 

Very specifically though Sanchez said 'If the right offer comes in we can make 154'.

Their plan is very clear - establish GGG as the accepted MW champ - currently that means going through Martinez. They also said - yes, we'll diverge from that plan if an offer too good to refuse comes from 168 or 154.

I don't really see the complexity in this.

They're not looking to push Golovkin up or down in weight unless there's a real good reason to. A weight change would necessitate a deviation from their apparent plan of having him fight as often as possible - not to please the boxing hardcore, I assume, but to keep the watching public paying their subscriptions.

It doesn't especially impress me but it is what it is. I wanna see GGG - Froch, GGG - Martinez, GGG - Ward (f#kk even Bika or Groves would do fine) but these fights will only come with the wider popularity of Golovkin being established amongst the Saturday night viewer.

You want the big fights? You gotta make sure the money's there. This is even more the case with Golovkin who may have a strong fanbase amongst boxing enthusiasts but doesn't have a US based ethnic fanbase to call on.

 

That's a far better question :good

 

Pretty sure he's mentioned Martinez and Quillin.

 

He is fighting the best middleweight in all of Africa, why would he leave 160?

 

If he wants the fame and money he needs to move up to 168 .
