      How do you turn down 300k when you don't even have a name to begin with?

      GGG isn't mainstream but his name is a lot bigger than Stevens.

      Stevens coming to the negotiation table like he was a star or something.

        What are you talking about?? Look at all the Golovkin-Stevens discussions going on now on every boxing site and message board. He got people talking about him by saying Golovkins name.

          I agree. GG isn't mainstream.

            No disrespect, and I mean this, but you're not really a boxing fan. I don't talk to liars or guys who I think look at boxing funny.

                So why would he publicly mention a guy no one knows and then shamelessly duck him?

                    I think the word "duck" is being thrown around here too much. I am truly sick of hearing that so many guys are ducking GG, and I mean it. I've seen killers in he ring who have fought killers, and then I have to read that one fighter ducked another.

                    Boxing knowledge doesn't kick in when it comes to these types of fighters. You guys GG love conquers all. I mean you legally have the right to say the above, but it's more to put a stamp on your comment then mean something in reality to me.

                    As far as GG-Stevens, Stevens people will let us know if they accept any offer or not.

                    GG's peoples are about as desperate for a fight as an ignored pot bellied go go dancer looking for a $1.00 bill.

                      That still doesn't answer why if GGG is a no name Stevens called him out and then rejected a career high payday, tv exposure, and a title opportunity.
