    IMO Golovkin won't get a fight with Martinez

    Martinez will not step into the ring with him. I like Golovkin, but IMO too it would be very ****** for Martinez to put his name on the line. (though i'd love it if he did.)

    It seems like Golovkin may have to move up in weight to make a name for himself. I can only see Chavez of the 160 lbers having a go at him, and absolutely zero of the 154lbers.

    Sergio probably won't happen. I'd rather see Golovkin fight someone of a lesser tier first anyway. Hopefully someone steps up and fights him.

      Dibella has already made that clear

        Depends, Martinez worked hard before he got himself in a position to pick and choose his opponents, now him and his promoter would choose the biggest money fight that they can get or the less risky fight to showcase his talent wherever they can. If the GGG fight presents itself money-wise then am sure they would take it. But so far why would they take it?

          i think dibella made it clear he would never make the fight (because he says there's no money in it) and martinez seems intent on chasing the chavez jr rematch after his next mismatch against murray is over and done with. most likely after chavez jr he'll retire and we'll never see him fight ggg...this is how i see it playing out.

            I think it won't happen as well. Dibella seems to be terrified of Golovkin. I hope one of the following (quillin, macklin, barker or geale) step up and fight Golovkin.

                DiBella has made is very clear that he doesn't want it.

                  Golovkin doesnt bring **** to the table when it comes to money.. Martinez worked his ass off to be in a position where he is today... he doesn't have many years left in him... he will choose fights that financially make sense... Caus he has ****ING EARNED THAT RIGHT THE HARD WAY.... No one beats Sergio at MW.... NO ONE

                    Golovkin fighting at 160 simply isn't fair. He is so good and so strong that he should be fighting Dawson or Adamek in his next fight just to level the playing field.
