    I saw that, I'm sure it was an honest mistake though......we are getting a little amped up on this issue i think. We need some more threads to comment on. I want some threads on Canelo and Trout or Donaire and Rigo. There are too many good fights coming up and no breaking news, what's the deal?

          So you admit to sergio ducking him, good thats the first step.

          Its simple, Golovkin wants sergio, Sergio picks Murry over Golovkin. The Sergio fans complain about his Golovkins not fighting anyone when sergio (along with top MWs) said no to him

            I'll put it like this: When Chavez was avoiding Martinez, people complained and complained and complained, the fight eventually happened.......2 years later. My point is people can complain all they want but that isn't going to make a fight drop in his lap. Taking action and doing something in the meantime probably will make a difference though.

            He could drop to 154 and take on Trout if he beats Canelo or try to get a fight with Canelo. If he wins that, he's an instant money maker and people would be more inclined to fight him because at least they would get paid for the beating they would take.
            What 11-20 guy should he fight? Drop some names.

            The top 154 lbers won't fight him either. He needs to do what Margarito and Williams did, use the fact that he's avoided as a marketing tool. As much I dislike it, the "most avoided man in boxing" title is very appealing to the fans. He needs to milk that.

              What is with this move up fascination? You are ****ting on Golovkin for it, you cannot have it both ways. Its only fair if a fighter from 154 goes up to MW and asks Sergio for a shot? Is that what you're saying? You're putting variables that dont matter at all. Golovkin has to move up to 168 and challenge Ward for it to be similar to Sergio situation? The point that is being made is that Sergio got the shot that he is denying Golovkin. He was avoided for a long time but got the shot. In reality He was coming off a loss to Williams and didnt have 1 win at 160 yet Pavlik gave a low reward-high risk guy a chance.
              Yet again, you are switching things around. Golovkin would get props for moving up a division and beating the champ. However, he doesn't get props for fighting guys moving up from 154 that have little chance against him and a weak ranking at 154 to begin with.

              Golovkin would be the #3 ranked guy at mw moving up to face the champ at 160 and he has already beaten guys at 168. You were just using the fact the other day that he already beat Bute and Dirrell in the ams to show how good Golovkin was. So, I am not sure why you are so adversed to a move of this nature. You also keep rehashing the same old stuff when my reasoning has been extremely plainly put and logically based.

              He can't get fights at 160 (fights that you agree with) and you yourself already admit he easily dispatched of Dirrell and Ko'd Bute. Golovkin is a natural 160 pound fighter (unlike Sergio who is already up 2 divisions from where he turned pro) and could easily move up one division.

              You complain that he can't get fights, most guys use money as an excuse. If he beats a guy like Kessler or Ward or Bute or even Canelo or Trout (by moving DOWN), he will be a bigger draw. Beiing a bigger draw means more money, which means more guys willing to fight him. This IS WHAT YOU WANT RIGHT?

                  Would rather see Don George at this point.

                  He's a big MW with a strong right hand. He's pretty durable. Took some bombs from Adonis.
