Stevens getting ready to duck Golovkin?

[ИATAS]

Nobody knows who GG is either. Both could walk down the street here in America and where GG lives, but in another town, and nobody would know him. Stevens said he wants GG. Make the fight.

Martinez could walk down the street and no one would know him. Same for Quillin, Murray, Geale, et al. Only Chavez would be recognized in certain places (like LA)

Stevens has what going for him right now?
Nothing... I agree with that.

He has something of a buzz right now, dare I say hype. A few more of those KOs on NBC and he'd probably work his way into a big fight against one of the more marketable names next year.

Yea.. but nothing big really.
If he fights somebody notable... then yea.
What he should do is fight somebody GGG's already fought so he can be used as a measuring stick of his ability.
I'd like an Ishida fight, he had a fight last week and evidently isn't retired

Gave only one of his titles to avenge his sole loss in a big money fight in Australia that has exponentially increased his fame in his country.



Or HBO wants Golovkin vs Murray in primetime in the US and Murray has Visa issues.

Also, remember when Edwin Rodriguez was ducking Golovkin?

“I would love to [fight Gennady], his team and promotional company send me a contract to fight at 164lbs and next day they say I have to be 10lbs off. They go on HBO and say they’re big enough to fight anybody from 154 to 168, after I win this tournament I’m open if you want to fight me. My weight is 168lbs, come and get it.”

“Don’t send me a contract saying I have to be 10lbs off or come down to a catch weight, I’m a super middleweight and you said you’d fight anyone from 154 to 168 but then you’re fighting guys at light middleweights. If you’re really as good as you say and your team really believes you’re that good then move up and fight me at 168 and stop sending me contracts that aren’t even worth looking at.”

@stevemaxboxing Rodriguez was offered to fight @gggboxing last January at MSG on @HBOboxing at 168 and he turned it down as well

Seems like Edwin did avoid him.

I kind of find the 500k at that time hard to believe... especially if it was on a triple header.
Only other two people I remember them looking at were Tommy Gun and Edwin.
Don't know why Tommy Gun didn't get the fight... actually, wouldn't be surprised if they try to call him to fight in November.
They tried before and he just had a fight on GGG's undercard.
