    GGG actually challenged Hopkins first. Hopkins responded

    You might get your wish. Currently, the next 2 in line for the WBA @160lbs are
    #2 Dmitry Chudinov
    #3 Jarrod Fletcher
    Geale was #3 last week. I guess Fletcher's performance against Max Bursak looked good enough to someone and he took Geale's spot.:patsch
    Maybe if Geale can take care of Garth Wood in dominant fashion, he won't drop any lower than 5th when the WBA move Andy Lee from #11 up to #4:lol:

    The only guy on that list that is decent is Anthony Dirrell and he's at 168.

    Arias? He has like 8 fights against bums?

    Guerrero? Who had a shot at Quillin and got knocked out?

    Love? The guy who got a gift against Rosada and can no longer make 160?

    And Mora? Well, maybe GGG should kick Mora's ass just for fun. Don't tell me you think Mora will outbox GGG.

    All talk, no action. Translation = they are all full of sh!t. If they really wanted him they would actively pursue him, like Stevens did. But, and its a big BUT, they saw what happened to poor Curtis....and they want none of that.

    Agreed. You put a mic in front of anyone and they're say things to make themselves look good. I mean seriously, are they going to say no and admit that they're afraid of Golovkin? No fighter would do it, because it'll damage their reputation.

    I like what Stevens did. He called GGG out, actively pursed it and he got the fight. That's all I want to see from other fighters. Step up when you get called. If you don't get called, actively ask for the fight.

    Take is cheap. In fact, it's worthless.

    Yeah terrible list, a bunch of guys who ducked G repeatedly, some TMT suspects, some Showtime only guys, a retired brain patient and Sergio Mora.

    Can you link to this Froch callout, better yet an offer? In fact have any of these bigger name guys sent any offers?

    At least Rubio's a legit top 10 middleweight who's actually willing to fight the guy. Everyone else is just talking ****. Rubio actually means it when he calls somebody out.

    just like GGG is full of **** when he says he'll fight any of these 168 and 175 pounders.

    Chavez Jr calling him out. A perfectly doable fight

    http://www.boxingnews24.com/2013/07/chavez-jr-wants-gennady-golovkin-clash/

    Carl Froch eyes both Gennady Golovkin and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr

    LMFAO.. did you even listen to what Quillin said in that interview about Golovkin? He was asked directly about if he was scared of Golovkin essentially said "Why chase after that guy, when I can go after the P4P one (martinez)", and that it didn't matter because Al Haymon was going to take care of him.

    Not sure how that equates to calling Golovkin out. Sounds more like a blatant duck to me.

    According to many its GGG who doesnt want to take any tough fights. They say its ok for him to duck but when floyd does it he gets criticized. What people fail to realize is NOBODY WANTS TO FIGHT GGG!

    come on man stop all you bs made up fantasys. you know damn well only a couple of those guys have ever mentioned his name and only 1 of them would ever step anywhere near him and thats froch cause that would be decent $$$ and that idiot would think he has a chance cause he is bigger.

    he would inialate froch so phukin bad, what a mismatch that would prove to be.

    hops i heard mention ggg but hops would NEVER step foot in the ring with that killer even at 175, not at 168 and never a thought at 160. possibly sign to fight him if he was 29 or 39 but he like 50.

    i think hops (seriously) would accept kovolev before ever accepting ggg.

    with kov he has a built in excuse, too big and hops too old
