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.

The only way Golovkin is gonna fight a marquee name is by having it enforced by a sanctioning body. Sad but true.
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

You can't compare Ortiz to Golovkin in terms of marketability in the states. Anybody in Lopez' shoes would have taken that fight.

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.

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

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

without even knowing why, people just ASSUME what happened or why a fight wasn't accepted
The fight with Rubio wasn't gonna happen anyway either. That's what I read somewhere.

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.
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..
