he's got wins over despaigne(2,) andre dirrel, matt korobov, a knockout of bute, andy lee, in the amateurs. these guys were all top amateurs. almost all olympians and qualifiers at major tournaments.
he's at the point where he's positioned to be a legitimate opponent for too guys at MW. it's unfair to say that martinez or dibella are ducking him because of the money, but it's a fair question for a reporter to ask. he's getting there, is golovkin.
and martinez isn't scared of / ducking anybody. he wants the biggest fights for the most money, and right now that's not golovkin. in a few fights he could be that guy. he's physically ready, and would be a threat, given his technical abilities and his power. the skills are there, and he's 30. Anybody who says martinez is scared doesn't know enough about maravilla martinez, though.
