Yes he did. Dzinziruk. Gem of a fight. That said, I'd be extremely surprised if Golovkin gets matched up with LMWs from here on out. Macklin, Stevens, probably Murray in the near future... he's focusing on MWs because he wants the lineal title.
In addition,Boxing is a business.Cotto brings in a hell of a lot more PPV buys than GGG.Until Gennady gets that one big win over a name opponent,he will be odd man out.
If he doesn't fight him, I could see this being the reason. Amazing how guys ignore a post like this and just bash away.
Martinez is a talented poser... He was quick to call out Cotto and Manny but never liked to fight guys his size really. Not saying he did not fight Chavez, Pavlik and Williams, but if he had his way, he would have fought Bantamweights.
ggg would smash a now past it SM, while ha has belt he has a pay day, fight GGG and thats that for big money, murry i thought beat him, had a knock down ruled out which would have put him way out in front, GGG hits him he wont get back up, in my opinion
Pavlik was a heavy favorite in the fight vs Sergio to label him as a drunk is just being a hater...... sergio beat the shi.t out of a much bigger guy and took his titles from the reigning champion
