    Also, if Bradley is serious, then he needs to be protected from himself. There's a thing as being too brave for one's own good.

    and you know the truth?:rofl if ward tells the truth all the time then why he takes Goosen to court all the time and gets ko'd? Can you really trust a guy who tries to back out after he himself signs the contract.
    Ward dont want GGG, he only use it to keep himself relevant, like a lot of fighter do currently.

    See I don't get this. The TS makes a thread about how everyone is avoiding Golovkin and then proceeds to dismiss the guys calling him out.

    The most avoided fighter is Guillermo Rigondeaux, GGG doesn't come Close to that ... he has two belts as Golovkin, but even the better fighters in his Division do not want any piece of him ... Golovkin is fighting every three-four months, and there are People like Lara or Ward inviting him to fight, ..., but in 122 nobody would even mention Rigondeaux until they are not confronted with a question about him ...

    Rigondeaux's own mandatory turned down a fight with him. He's the unified, lineal champion and can't get anybody from 118-122 to fight him. He made offers to all of the champs at 118 and they turned him down also

    in fairness there was times he could of pushed the issue, he was given the opportunity to go over to quiggs last fight and call him out in person and he refused to do it

    i also think his having promotional issues right now

    Lara, DeGale, and Ward have all expressed interest in fighting him. However, anytime you bring these names up, there's a bunch of excuses why they should be dismissed as opponents.

    Think Rigo has it worse than anyone.

    Its rare when champs come out and literally say "yeah, hes too good. I need a LOT of money to fight him"

    People say no one wants to fight GGG, but hes still fighting 3-4 times a year.
    Rigo literally cant get fights!
    Frampton/Quigg/LSC all just ignore him like he doesnt exist.
    Sad really. Arguably the most skilled boxer in the world is just being ignored out of relevancy

    The fights he does get aren't elite, that he has to take. Otherwise he doesnt fight at all.

    lara is calling him out but ignoring the elephant in the room, his not aloud fight on HBO. If lara came out with a statement saying Haymon is letting me fight on hbo then it would actually be a call out. At the moment it just looks like a jack russell barking a a rothweiler, knowing the rothweiler is behind a fence and he will never get close to him

    where did degale call him out? and have they actually made an offer at all, because that fight would make more sense in england

    ward talked bs , ggg then told the story straight and we havn't heard anything from ward since. hbo was supposed to have asked ggg do you want the fight, he said yes, they asked ward and he said no, i want tune up fights

    Where is the rule stating Lara can't fight on HBO? There is none. And if we can just dismiss Lara calling him out because he is a Haymon fighter, then we can cross Quillin off the list of guys that are ducking Golovkin as Golovkin's call out means nothing and as Quillin supposedly isn't allowed on HBO.

    DeGale expressed interest after beating Dirrell. Loeffler though shot down the fight as he said DeGale doesn't bring enough money.

    Golovkin told the story straight because it's what came out of his mouth? Ok. I haven't heard anything out of Ward about any tuneups lately. He looked very sharp in his last fight, and he called out Loeffler for spreading lies. Speaking of Loeffler, he also dismissed the idea of a Ward fight as he said it doesn't bring enough money to the table.

    what haymon fighter has fought on hbo? lara isnt aloud fight there and until he says im aloud fight on hbo its just bs not a call out. Thing with quillin is his already ducking the fight in his own words regarless of networks. the guy is handicapped, his already said ggg is too much risk not enough reward, for a guy who isnt the draw and doesnt have a title this is the talk of a guy with severe mental problems

    well his right isnt he degale isnt really a big draw and fact that degale wont be able to fight ggg for at least another year comes into play. degale vs groves will be next and degale knows it

    no ggg said ward was spreading lies and ward went quiet. of course ward looked shape he was fighting the 6th best supermidddleweight in britian who was out of shape ffs:lol: and he wants 2 million to do that when he cant sell tickets and no one will even watch him on free tv.

    But Quillin later said he's willing to take the fight. But again, Haymon fighters supposedly aren't allowed on HBO so we should just ignore that fight.

    If Golovkin's team wants to dismiss figthers championship caliber comp because they aren't big enough draws, that's fine. However, that contradicts the claim of him being so avoided. He's really only avoided by a few guys who have better options. But at the same time, he's avoiding other fighters in lieu of more desirable options.

    Ward just talked about the situation right before the Smith fight. So he has not gone quiet. And again, Ward is being dismissed because he isn't a big enough draw. How can you be the most avoided fighter when you're dismissing quality opponents?

    quillin has never said his willing to take the fight:lol: when asked about ggg he starts acting very weird and talking nonsense, only time he was coherent is when he said, im not going to fight ggg its too much risk not enough reward. and that was when he had no title ans ggg was the bigger draw so he was talking complete nonsense

    degale mentioned ggg as a possible fight down the line and you consider it a call out? degale isnt taken any risky fights what so ever until he gets in the ring with groves again, you do know that?

    yup he talked about it before the smith fight, ggg set the record straight about ward lieing and telling hbo his not ready for the fight and ward has said nothing since. you can take from that what you want

    That's simply not true. You can't have it both ways. You can't say everyone is avoiding the guy and make excuses why he can't fight certain guys. Golovkin's team has no interest in fighting guys like Ward or DeGale, Loeffler has stated as much publically. He left the door a little bit open for Lara, but I doubt the really have much interest in that fight.
