    People openly ducked Rigo and GGG saying they don't want to fight them, so those two are certainly in any top 3. They will find it very difficult to get unification fights. Stevenson changed networks to avoid a Kovalev fight imo and while he hasn't been on the world scene as long (Kovalev) nobody really wants to fight him either.


    Ward isn't very ducked, he has been injured and had promotional issues, Froch, Kessler, AA, Bika all fought him. He is one of the few guys who has fought most of the top guys in his division so can't say he is ducked.

    Provodnikov isn't very dcked yet: He only really came to prominence vs Bradley and fought well known Alvarado after. Rigo and GGG are forced to fight relative nobodies because none of the other top contenders or titlests want to fight them.

    ya id definetly have Rigo as number 1, Frampton admitted his not ready for him, Quigg called out all the big names in the division except for rigo hahaha

    ya Stevenson staying quiet about Kovalev then mouthing off when he moved to a differant network looked pretty bad and was a duck

    GGG is clearly been put on the long finger by Martinez and Murrey,Quillen,Sturm dont want anything to do with him

    Ward isnt being ducked his faught twice in the last 3 years, wont move up in division to fight Kovalev, Stevenson said he would move down to super middleweight to fight him and Ward still hasnt faught him, his got guys who want to fight him but his not making the fights

    Even Froch who is a warrior and weight class above said he wouldn't want to fight GGG, can't believe people actually think GGG isn't being ducked.

    i think when Froch said that he was saying that Groves shouldnt fight him because he was so good, but he was being very honest

    also as soon as GGG destroys someone there useless, Macklin in his 3 fights before GGG beat Strum and got robbed, had Sergio on the canves and was drawing on one scorcard before being stopped, most people would have had Macklin in there top 5 middleweights but when GGG destroyed him people were saying he wasnt even top 10

    Very true Macklin was supposed to be the acid test for GGG, as you said he should have got the nod vs Strum, gave Martinez a great fight before gassing but he's a bum when GGG beats him in 3. Typical

    GGG - Has an entire division running and hiding.

    Kovalev - He's a champ and nobody wants his belt. Nobody.

    Rigo - Fighters claim they're not ready.

    The greatest trick Golovkin ever pulled was making people believe he couldn't get a fight between 154lbs to 168lbs.

    Chavez Jr would have fought him if uncle Bob didn't try to pull a fast one.

    GGG is carefully managed. Has he fought a true world level fighter yet? The guy earns less that $500k a fight and he wants to fight marquee names on PPV. Some perspective is needed here.
