He said it during the allahkverdiev vs mbaye fight last night and he also said he wants to fight sergio martinez while he was helping with the commentary during the 7th round. I'm watching the replay right now and the fight has been pretty uneventful so far btw.
there's no big fights for him right now
MW is wide open right now, a countdown to GGG-Martinez
nothing else to get really excited about
Quillin doesn't want it, so who can GGG fight?
2 fights before the yr's out probably means optional tomato cans
but it's better he stays busy with a couple more KO's if possible
rather he do that than sit around doing nothing at all
I mean I know they won't start negotiating that late, maybe a week or two after his last fight. Even then they got to find somebody to fight within that window.
I know they've been looking, but nothing really strong right now.
Geale/Barker seems the obvious for late fall though
In general it shouldn't be a problem that's how things were done for the first 70 years or so in boxing but with guys fighting once or twice a year as their norm ya it becomes more difficult.
When you're fighting often like that they would negotiate ahead of time they won't wait until Sept before they start making offers. Nov/Dec is hopefully going to be the bigger fight while Sept is just a stay busy after thought. Loeffler has already been talking with Murray's team about Nov.

If he fights in September... I don't think we can expect anybody spectacular in a 2 month notice

GGG should take a stay busy fight like andy lee, rubio, someone along those lines,,,
Then in december go for big fight with murray, geale/barker, chavez jr
Would like to see GGG vs Kirkland, just for fun
There's no double standard coming from me. Any educated boxing fan knows that most fighters let their promoters/managers/advisers handle the matchmaking.
I agree with your statement, but why certain fighters get hated for this and some others can use that as an excuse
He's a grown man he can tell his team to stfu and call Ward anytime he wants. If Ellerbe or Arum said that their fighter would not fight fighter X because the fight needs to be marinated Pac or Floyd would get hated by a bunch of people in here. But if its GGG then it's ok... I just don't like double standards. People talk like he's taking great challenges but what I see is a 31 years old fight who has been fighting 7 years as a pro and has not fought one elite fighter, get d1ckrided by everybody on this site and gest a freepass if his team says that it's not the time to fight another fighter.
He's a great, great fighter, it's just the doublestandards that are bothering me.

His coach talks a Ward fight from 10:00 onwards

They don't need idle callouts knowing Ward won't be ready till next year, they need makeable and legit fights right now, for sept and dec, preferably in his division.
You gotta separate what the man wants from what his team wants.

I have no problem with the fact that he doesnt want to take the biggest challenge of his career right now, I have problem with people saying GGG would take anybody right now which aint true, because like you said he's not ready to play to the Super Bowl right now.

Was just thinking what if Zimmerman was black how would the trial be going?
I think we all know the answer to that some things in this world just are the way they are, in other words it is what it is.
Man if they all had GGG's attitude the sport would have an instance resurgence. In a perfect world I'd like to see him against Murray in September and Chavez in december and then next year clean out the rest; Martinez Quillen and Geale. but honestly if he's fighting twice before the year is out I'd be happy enough with him taking a stay busy fight in September against some bum and then murray in december. (I'd rather see him in action even against a nobody than not see him at all)
lol yeah thats why his team said he would not fight Ward right now because the fight need to be built and " it needs to be marinated". Stop with that bull**** that he would fight anybody
I think that's coming from HBO more than anything. Ward said earlier in the year he wasn't looking at fighting Golovkin because he's not well enough known, he wanted Chavez Jr.
It "needs to marinate" because it won't generate as many viewers or as much money right now as it would 1-2 years down the road. They would be wasting an opportunity. Ward would be his ultimate fight in his career, because that's the guy that everybody says will beat him and because of Ward's obvious status P4P wise.
Nothing wrong with waiting a bit and fighting up the ranks to a grand conclusion. You want him to play in the Super Bowl and then fizzle out with a few regular season games? That wouldn't make sense.

They said if A side Ward sent them an offer, they'd take it. But we're talking sept and dec, a Ward fight is not viable on either date. He'll take a tuneup off injury layoff and won't be ready for a real fight till 2014.
