    To the person who said Kid Choc team think Golokovin isn't big enough..

    Mayweather didn't know who Guerrero was last year & now he's leading contender to get a fight with him on May 4th.

    Past is the past.

    What I'm trying to say is...why don't Team Golovkin at least ATTEMPT to make a fight with Quillen...if it goes through, their stock rises a lot & have a great chance of fighting the likes of Martinez in the summer....and if the fight with Kid Choc doesn't go through, the fight with Adama can still be made easily.

      If True, then didn't Barker say he would fight Golovkin if he couldn't get Lee?
      Also, can you post where you saw this?
      I looked at the KO Digest (blog right)
      Last post was Jan 11th
      Barker has a fight scheduled for early March already. Apparently they're targeting the Dzinziruk-Vera winner.

        Lol since when? This is boxing we're talking about. The WBO promised Rubio a title shot next. If Quillin turns it down he'll be stripped.

          How do you know they didn't? All it takes is a phone call, if al haymons people said they are fighting Rubio next team GGG move on. We aren't behind the scenes.

            Quillin said no to the fight and took Guerrero instead because Golovkin isnt big enough.

            And like Natas said, Rubio will fight the winner of the fight. Golovkin has ATTEMPTED to make the fight. All quillin said was no and then schedules 2 fights.

                IBF threatened Froch that they'll strip the title if he didn't fight Stevenson...look what happened there, he's fighting Kessler now, not a unification bout but many examples can be given... Olusegun was mandatory for over a year & he never got a title shot.

                Unification bout can take place instead of a mandatory with request....and most of the time it's been accepted.

                We are not behind the scenes but i highly doubt Al haymon & Kid Choc are willing to negotiate when they have a fight in 2 weeks.

                  The problem is NOT the WBO (or whatever belt Quillin has) but quillin and Haymon themselves. They just dont want Golovkin and are willing to fight and are doing everything in their powers, along with HBO to keep Pete unbeaten and holding that belt

                    Don't care for this fight and don't care for golovkin until he fights someone at world level, which he really hasnt. He's good but he's far from great and time is ticking.

                      yea, he's already 30. he has to play catch up & i don't think fights like adama will benefit him at this point.

                      I'd rather see bika vs a adama bout.............
