    There have been so many fighters who have called GGG out to fight over the last 2 months but we see no response from GGG.

    1. Andre Ward says he's been chasing GGG for a match but GGG's camp has failed to repond.
    Strange because GGG definitely needs to face an A level elite at some point in his career and he can't get more A level than Andre Ward.

    2. Sam Soliman after is defeat of Sturm was asked who he wanted to defend his title against next. Soliman's immediate response was that he really wanted GGG.
    Soliman has a belt, but we hear no response from GGG.

    3. Willie Monroe, Jr. just won the ESPN Boxing tournament and is now rated by the boxing organizations.
    Asked about who he wanted to meet now that he has won the tournament, Monroe's immediate response was that he wanted to fight GGG because this is a fight that he knows he can win.
    There has been no response from GGG or his camp.

    Why is everyone on ESB hoping to see a Cotto-GGG match up when GGG's camp has not come out and said that they even want this match?

    It is starting to look like GGG has gone from being the most ducked boxer to being the most boxer in hiding.

    They only doing that when he already has a fight scheduled. They yap about it, but never make an effort to actually offer a fight. Chavez Jr and Geale have been the only ones. Mora and Lara have also said they wanted it, but have no real interest of getting they're butt whipped.

    Soliman vs Golovkin will possibly happen soon.

    Ward fights at 168 lbs it is no different to Kovalev wanting to fight Ward. Would love to See GGG vs Ward and Kovalev vs Ward but can understand if they don't happen although it is frustrating as GGG is willing to fight Froch and Chavez at 168 lbs and Ward is willing to fight Hopkins at 175 lbs.

    I think Lara really wanted it but I don't like that fight for him. Still would be a good fight.

    Lara vs GGG would be a great fight to world class amateurs fighting in the pro game both skilled in their own styles.

    Exactly. Lara is a great boxer but he has some defensive holes and I think the weight advantage for GGG would tip things in his favor for a late stoppage.

    his defense is very flawed though, if a one-dimensional fighter like Angulo found him with ease, imagine what the much more skilled GG would do

    GGG is not even the MW title holder yet. Why would he fight Ward at 168 when he hasn't yet (and may never) solidified the MW title? I find it odd that Ward supporters are so quick to say GGG is ducking because he refuses to fight at 168, when the exact same case can be made that Ward won't fight Kovalev. You know if Ward were smart, he would jump to 175 and fight Stevenson, because he could clearly and I think easily outpoint Stevenson. Not so sure about Kovalev because of the pressure he applies.

    Angulo stopped Rosado faster than GGG did.

    I think the fact that GGG likes to take his time may suit Lara more as he will have room to box more.

    Would favour GGG but feel it would be competitive.

    Rosado fought 2 completely different fights

    against Angulo he chose to trade, against GG he was on his bike from the opening bell, and still got a horrendous face painting
