Is Golovkin The Most Avoided Fighter Ever?

Hang on the Fools on here say that's Bull Sh!t.....

 

Felix Sturm ducked him when GGG was still an 8-0 prospect. The whole saga with Universum started because of that and eventually cost GGG 2 or 3 years of his career.

I think Abraham ducked him too.

 

He is the most avoided fighter in a long time. Not sure ever but this is Sonny Liston levels of avoidance.

 

+ Quillen
+ Martinez

 

Mundine refused to turn up for the Purse Bid still hiding under the bed as we speak....Our Mate Midnight Prowler is a Fanatical Fan of Mundine...and has the nerve to Criticize Golovkin....Go figure.!!!

 

Can't leave out Chavez jr.

Apparently a career high payday and megafight is the most important thing in the world unless it interrupts the GGG hate agenda though.

 

Hell no. You have great fighters of the past like "the body snatcher" Mike McCallum who was avoided by Leonard, Duran, Hearns, and Hagler. And never got the title shot he deserved.

 

Froch said himself he would never fight Golovkin.

 

The story goes that GGG was groomed to be the next victim of Sturm who was Universum's most valuable asset. But after GGG decimated veterans Khomitsky, Boudla and Gardner in 2008 Sturm wanted no part of that fight and Universum fed cans to GGG who complained numerous times that he wants to fight Sturm and eventually left Universum. That's why GGG's career was stalled so much.

Golovkin terminated his contract with Universum in January 2010 and stated the following in an interview: "The reason for this decision is that I've always been placed behind Felix Sturm and Sebastian Zbik by Universum. Our demands to fight against Felix Sturm or Sabastian Zbik have been always rejected on absurd grounds. Universum had no real plan or concept for me, they did not even try to bring my career forward. They would rather try to prevent me from winning a title as long as Sturm and Zbik are champions. Further more, bouts against well-known and interesting opponents were held out in prospect, but nothing happened. This situation was not acceptable. It was time to move forward."

The irony is that Sturm himself later had disputes with Universum and the promotion got bankrupt while GGG became a big star in the USA, much bigger than that cheating bum Sturm ever was.

 

Even with all that you said, GGG still got more title shots than McCallum. Because McCallum has none.
