    Not yet. He can't get the big fights for HOF, as the other big names don't want to fight him. Middleweight is an odd division at the moment with other champs not wanting to fight (Cotto) or having big problems outside of the ring (Taylor)

    Other than Sergio Martinez and Jermain Taylor, there are no "A" list true 160lb'ers. Cotto is a welter and Canelo hasn't fought a true 160lb'er yet and I wont rate him @ MW until he does.

    That said, the Triple Duck should prove himself against the other top contender in the division, Peter Quillin. Golovkin can't call himself the true #1 MW contender until he beats Quillin - who's resume is as good or maybe even better than Golovkin's...

    Maybe you need to consult with his fanboys then and tell them there is a difference between them saying everyone is ducking him and he only wants PPV fights that he feels are lucrative. Like all the GGG fans who jump all over Froch even though Froch is looking for fights he feels would make him the most money also. I have no problem with GGG staying at 160 and doing his thing BUT to say the people a division above him are ducking him is ridiculous. Most of those talking points started from GGGs camp when they'd started to spread rumors of everyone avoiding him and that he would fight anyone from 154-168 but then Ward calls him out and now he only wants PPv fights.
    You can't have it both ways.

    I will admit im not a fan of Golovkin but I absolutely respect the man .

    But The real reason why people refuse to jump on his bandwagon is because hes white and that's all there is to it .

    The min GGG lose , everyone will say he never that good to begin with .

    Doesn't matter what his record is ,and how many knockouts he has . he could reach 49-0 . The sec he catches an L .

    He was overrated and all of his knockouts were over bums .

    That's all you going to hear .

    They are just waiting for him to lose so they can pounce on him and ridicule him .

    Its sad , but that's the harsh reality .

    Middleweight is dead that's why no one is giving you any names. GGG is regarded as the best has nothing else to prove there just like Ward at 168 but I would still like to see them fight at 168 before Ward moves up to 175. That's the only fight there for him unless he actually chooses to fight a Dirrel.

    LOL

    You sound like a rabid Golovkin HOMER. Qullin arguably has a better resume than does the Triple Duck. Stop smoking the Crack.


    Ah yes, YOU have such intimate knowledge of Haymon's business practices that we have to take YOUR word on this.

    It's not the Triple Duck's fault that there are no "A" list 160lb'ers around against whom he could test himself. However, until he beats an "A" list fighter, any talk of going into the HOF is premature.
