Gennady Golovkin's promoter, Tom Loeffler, says he approached @GoldenBoyBoxing about @KIDCHOCOLATE replacing Pirog but was turned down.

Among the names under consideration for Golovkin: Marco Antonio Rubio and Matthew Macklin
What a suprise. Golden Boy and Al Haymon going to protect him all the way to the top lol
I like the title of this thread tries to sh1t on Quillin by saying he turned it down yet the tweet clearly says they approached GBP. TS must be a Quillin hater.

So in other words, Quillin is a coward because he didn't drop his fight against Rubio to fight Golovkin on short notice, and for those that think 7 weeks is enough for training, I want to remind them that negotiations will take longer than that... So guys hold up your horses.
where was the fight to be held? If in Europe, I can see why he would turn it down. If in the states, no excuses he should have taken it.
In the US on HBO and for the WBA and IBO belts.
Most people who watch HBO and Showtime don't know who Golovkin is. GG is one of my favorite fighters but the truth is the truth.
Yes and that's because he was offered a fight against Ortiz who is a big name in america. You can't compare that to Quillin being offered a Golovkin fight.

lol
If we learned anything the last few months, a belt doesn't do much for you in boxing lolol...
Few months?! Try years! Ratings are getting up there with belts if you ask me too. :lol1:
but i thought he was already booked up to fight rubio? isn't that fight signed and a done deal? not sure he can just scrap that fight and take golovkin like that. not if he signed a contract to fight rubio.
I don't believe anything is signed yet as Rubio is trying to get the fight in Mexico.
I think Golovkin would garner some interest :dunno:
but disregard my previous post...I completely forgot about Quillin-Rubio being lined up. Rubio is the bigger name plus it'll still make for an exciting fight.
Over a title fight though??

Straying off point if Guerreo got hurt and they needed a replacement to fight Aydin you think Lopez would of turned the same scenario down different mentality bcse of his placement now that Lopez took a chance he's their too
This is a showdown fight at MW for a belt that is televised and the winner would get massive exposure more than a win vs Rubio and to go with he's not known blah blah lame politics is just as big of a threat to the sport as bad judging etc..
And a win against Golovkin does nothing to compare to a win vs Rubio?
Most people who watch HBO and Showtime don't know who Golovkin is. GG is one of my favorite fighters but the truth is the truth.
And who knew who Lopez was before Ortiz he fought a network main event in a exciting fight and now he's a hot commodity

Funny how you worded your title just to sh1t on Quillin. "Quillin turns down Golovkin" when your twitter paste clearly says Golden Boy did.
I love how Boxing fans today accuse every fighter of "DUCKING" when a fight doesn't get done lol
without even knowing why, people just ASSUME what happened or why a fight wasn't accepted :nonono:
Exactly what Im trying to say...
The fight with Rubio wasn't gonna happen anyway either. That's what I read somewhere.
Rubio quit on his stool, it wasn't a proper KO. The Jantuah fight was a long time ago. I'm just saying if you mention Rubio to mainstream american boxing fans they'll say "oh yeah the guy who went the distance with Chavez Jr and lasted quite long against Pavlik". You mention Golovkin and they'll be like "Who?" That's just the way it is. If Quillin can KTFO Rubio today this could be his coming out party.
You can't compare Ortiz to Golovkin in terms of marketability in the states. Anybody in Lopez' shoes would have taken that fight.

Pavlik beat Rubio into submission Kofi Jantuah KOd him in the 1st
Rubio loses most of his high profile fights that's just what he does and the reason GB wanted to make this fight
Just shows the difference between a Joseito Lopez and Quillen not that it's his fault but he gets the path of least resistence bcse of the entitlement program in boxing

Rubio is a more attractive option, he's more known than Golovkin in the states (and I like Golovkin more than Quillin). If Quillin can stop Rubio when Pavlik and Chavez Jr couldn't, this could really put him on the map.
The only way Golovkin is gonna fight a marquee name is by having it enforced by a sanctioning body. Sad but true.

I'm happy that Team Golovkin offered the fight. As for GB/Quillin not accepting, i'm slightly disappointed. Quillin isn't any position to complain about not getting title shots after this offer.
