    De Gale
    Ward
    Froch

    All 3 are champions and Golovkin is not responding.

    GGG is an exceptional MW and I think he should aim to become undisputed vs Lee & Canelo.

    But it is interesting post Murray, Monroe Jnr & Lemiuex his team have been less than keen to 'fight anyone, anywhere between 154-168'.

    Surely Golovkin could make fortunes fighting Ward, DeGale and Froch at 168. Literally 100s of millions.

    what's the issue?

    Ward is a LHW.
    Froch is retired.

    DeGale would fight him though.

    Froch did a televised interview with GGGs manager at the Fury vs Klitschko fight saying he would fight Golovkin at 168 or 172.

    Ward made an offer to fight at 168 and said he still would.

    DeGale is chasing him.

    Froch has also said in recent interviews he couldn't make 168 any longer and neither can Ward.

    Froch said he can't make 168, there is no way Froch makes 168 any longer.

    Ward is fighting at LHW and has signed a contract to fight Kovalev at some point so he isn't going back down to 168.

    DeGale isn't chasing Golovkin, he said he'd fight him, DeGale is chasing Badu Jack for a unification fight, that's next on his agenda.

    He fights at 160 and Froch and Ward are LHW's. Now Shut The F*** Up About It.:deal


    I'd love to see him with Degale though, with that p*** poor stamina, mid fight lull GGG would rip his body to pieces and stop him in 8. Easy Work.:deal

    Have you actually watched the Froch interview?!? I suggest you do and then repost having watched it.

    Ward has never once in his career fought at LHW.

    What's the issue with DeGale?

    I am not trolling in the slightest. GGG made what 2 or 3 million fighting Lemiuex with tiny PPV numbers.

    A fight with Froch, Ward or DeGale would make him fortunes.

    DeGale is the only realistic option.

    Froch said on video that he can't make 168 and wants 172. Ward has never wanted to fight GGG, is unreliable and likely can't make 168 either.

    DeGale will be a good fight after GGG is an undisputed MW champion. Hopefully, DeGale will add a belt or two before that.

    You've been corrected numerous times above but you can't seem to accept it.

    Ward is never fighting at 168 again, he is lined up to fight Kovalev.

    Froch said he has put on muscle mass after retiring and will not get to 168 again, I watched an interview with him saying he wouldn't make 168. Froch mentioned 172, GGG is fighting at 160 so let's just forget that.

    DeGale has said he wants a unification fight with Badu Jack, he said he'd fight anybody including GGG but he is not chasing him.

    We'll agree to disagree, then.

    IMO GGG's team made a big noise about 168 and when Ward & DeGale said yes please, they said no.

    Froch, has played silly ******s and doesn't know if he is retired or not but he definitely implied to Loeffler that he would definitely come back at 172 but there was a conversation to be had at 168 (ie. money) and Loeffler shut him down immediately.

    The money is there at 168, so my original question is why is GGG team no longer interested in that?

    The issue is you don't follow boxing.
    You don't know what you are talking about but you still have an opinion.
    A smart person would just not say anything, unless they knew what they were talking about.
    You're not that guy though:rofl
