    Gennady Golovkin, Universum Trying To Line Up a Test

    BoxingScene.com has learned that Universum is trying to line up a credible opponent, with a name, to test the talents of their rising middleweight prospect Gennady Golovkin (17-0, 14KOs) on an upcoming November show. I've heard they tried to get former WBC junior middleweight champion Sergio Mora, and recently tried to secure Ishe Smith. Golovkin is regarded as one of the best talents under Universum's promotional banner. He can certainly fight, and has talent, but at age 27 they need to push him a little faster in terms of competition.

      Golovkin is a future middleweight champ, no doubt.

          Universum won't put their beloved Zbik near of any worthy opponent. Too much risk...

                Golovkin is much better than Zbik. It too bad he didn't have the opportunity to fight for that interim title.

                Universum has been moving Gennady much too slowly.

                  They wouldn't let Huggy Zbik get within 50 miles of even a top 25 middleweight, let alone somebody who would KO him badly like Golovkin. Maybe they can line something up with Sylvester

                    I know that Universum is having a hard time, but this is surprising. They are actually struggling to line up a decent test for Golovkin? They can't even get somebody on the level of Mora or Ishe Smith? Two years ago they could have gotten anybody...
