I'm not saying louggler is scared to put ggg in with these fighters (though you could make an argument with ward) I just think he is pricing ggg out or trying to short his would be opponents.
There's just no way between 160-168 that there is not one legit top of division fighter that is willing to fight ggg I just don't buy it anymore. Everyone talks about ward and cotto being divas in negotiations sometimes fairly but at what point do we start holding team ggg to that same standard?
Sturm paid a huge fine to avoid Golovkin.
A few might've been scared but I tend to agree the concept is overblown. He's not the most devastating puncher of all time.

Originally posted by SteveM View PostWell, good theory - but where is your evidence. BJS say he was only offered 1.5 million. Team GGG say he was offered $3M. Who is right? Evidence/proof?
In the case of BJS he seemed to have serious reservations fighting even Rosado or Stevens.
Eubank won't even answer the phone to Warren regards a fight with BJS.
Lots of posters on here say Lemieux is a non-skilled puncher. They may be right but I don't see anyone jumping to get in the ring with him. If Lara came up to 160 and Lemieux is so unskillful then he should be an easy touch for Lara.
Jacobs needs 12 weeks to get ready for GGG. He took out Quillen but if the rest of the division is so crap how come he can't get in there and make a half million fighting a no-name like Monroe?
I'd say there are too many fighters waiting on a big check and not willing to see their zero go. The fact that Thurman's motto is a play on those words means that he at least knows that's what many of his bros are scared of. And that oh-so-precious zero is partially what is wrong with boxing.

BJS dropped out of the Rosado/Stevens/Monroe fight, b/c it was part of the deal for the Alvarez December fight. He wanted more money to fight Alvarez in December and that would've been a non-ppv fight.

Just a case of seeing what his price is for it to happen.
Pathetic...
