      there's a good number of MW contenders out there, now that golovkin has more attention, i think more fighters will consider taking a fight with him this june. before in september and january, it was a riskier fight to take, at least imo. next time golovkin fights, more people are going to tune in, which will give his opponent a chance to get some exposure. i expect more guys to be in negotiations for golovkin's next fight.
      Only three guys who are asking for it so far.

      Vera (Kind of) Donovan George and Curtis Stevens.

      Macklin has already said he won't do it in June, Quillin wants the fight to bulid. Eddie Hearn is keeping Barker away. Has admitted to doing so.

        I guess if he got to fight Dzincurk, Martin Murray, or Darren Barker maybe you would approve of him.
        Why yes, that would do much better than Makoto, Ishida, Rosado and only god knows who's next...

            Because there's context behind it. Why isnt he fighting the top guys, because they dont wanna fight him. How can you fault a guy for that? Nobody is saying he is a top P4P fighter and has the best resume at MW, but he currently has MW shaking in fear and its his fault apparently. More people are criticizing him for not fighting top MWs then Criticizing top MWs for not fighting him. Its a joke. Look at who quillin is fighting after rejecting Golovkin and i see nobody criticizing it

                People are obviously avoiding him and he is making due with what he has. That is what it comes down to.

                People aren't hyping him up because he is beating up randoms they are hyping him up for very legitimate reasons which are:

                A. He fights consistently (4 times a year) and has been very vocal about staying that way
                B. He has actively called out everyone in the division and has attempted to make fights with them
                C. And most importantly, every single one of his fights has been insanely entertaining.

                Now you are criticizing him for not fighting top 154 fighters????? Which ones should he have fought man, seriously.

                And are you seriously going to reach that far into your bag of excuses to blame him for not fighting SMWs????

                Good god, **** you dude

                What does it take to please you? Because if this guy doesnt do it for you than there is something insanely wrong with you. This is the sort of fighter that every boxing fan should be backing.

                I always say I dont care how much of an ******* the fighter is out of the ring as long as they fight consistently and seek the best fights that is all that matters.

                      Why are the 160 fighters so afraid to fight him? That's what you should really be asking.
