Exactly, People here do not know their boxing, GGG has been clearing the middleweight top 10 of various sanctioning bodies. All the people he has battered have all at one time been in the top 10, From Proska to Lemeiux, :deal
Quite a few of the Fighters he TKOd have never been stopped before....If he was not Feared Canelo would have fought Him...blind Freddie could see that....

That's not the only reason! If that were the case, your favorite fighter, Wilder (LOL) would be feared as well! It's the manner in which G does it! Controlled, calm and deliberate! Like an assassin! Never has been in any real trouble or lost a round, from what I have watched of him! Other fighters and trainers see what he does and how he does it and want absolutely nothing to do with the man! I see the talent and want to see him in there with a higher level of comp. From recent events that have taken place, it seems that's becoming very difficult to achieve!
The main thing i feel (and i am a big fan) is that he doesnt bring enough money and he is Elite KO artist , For example Wlad in his peak was the same BUT he got you a carrer high 10x money , the purses in his fights are hugh , same as Manny/Floyd and the likes , if GGG would bring such money ppl will line up to fight him its not the KO they fear its a the KO with little money , or not enough money as the preceive they can make if they wont lose. So - be a great elite boxer puncher with not so big purses.
In contrast with some posters, Golovkin's potential opponents have eyes, so they can appreciate how much better Gennady is. Many boxers sparred Gennady, and the word spreads. Some promoters like DiBella or Hearn openly said that they wouldn't put their top fighters in the ring "with this animal".
I think it's not what he has done, but what he hasn't done: show any weaknesses. The guy has immense power in both hands, immaculate footwork, and slick - often unnoticed - defense. He's also never been hurt, let alone down, in nearly 400 fights. He smashes every guy put in front of him with ease. You can talk about his resume all day, but they are still contenders and mandatories, which are considered world class. They are not tomato cans.
I must disagree on #8! Ward ducking G is a stretch, just like saying G ducked Canelo for not going down to 155! I understand the difference between the 2 because Canelo had the 160 belt but, neither situation is a duck, belt or no belt! I'll never consider it a duck if a guy doesn't want to drop under a weight division to fight another guy! All your other points are legit!
i dont remember if it was a 12 or 10 mil offer to chavez jr.... but you must remember that offer only stood if chavez resigned with top rank....that number was bob holding him hostage....bob offered him another, lower, number if he didnt resign which basically told chavez that the high offer was there for that fight and that bob was trying to hold him hostage.... i dunno if you can consider that duck given the circumstances....i think chavez would have taken the fight if it werent for bobs games
Felix Sturm is the only guy who ducked GG. Everyone else that clown alt mentioned is a stretch of the imagination. And to even mention Ward and Froch is utterly ridiculous lmao.:rofl
