[oscar9992]

By Scott Gilfoid: Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions shot down the idea of WBA interim middleweight champion Martin Murray (25-1-1, 11 KO’s) fighting WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (28-0, 25 KO’s) on February 1st at the Salle des etoiles, Monte Carlo, Monaco. It’s not going to happen. Loeffler already offered the Golovkin fight to Murray in the past but he turned it down.

Loeffler says they want guys like Sergio Martinez or Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. for Golovkin, although neither of those guys are going to be available to fight Golovkin for his next fight in February.

Loeffler said to Ring** “Murray had turned down a previous shot for him to fight Gennady in Canada…We would like a unification fight with Martinez, or a fight with Julio Cesar Chavez…until we can get one of them in the ring with him, we’re going to keep Gennady active.”

They offered it to him before... earlier this year, yea.
What about this supposed offer for Feb?

SO GGG wants to fight floyd at 154, martinez at 160 or Chavez at 168. It would be nice if he and quillin fought to determine sergio's next opponent

Too bad they can't

Why not Andre Ward? Oh yea they don't want a boxing lesson, they want a pot head or a ww or an old injured mw, but not the 168lbs champ p4p #2 who would be free to fight on feb after he gives Edwing a lesson

GGG ducking Murray

GGG v Petey at the Barclays or the Garden makes all the sense in the world...too bad the powers that be wont budge.

GGG is looking great these days and I don't many of the top guys want to fight him at any weight. Froch wants to fight him in England with that home country advantage but Froch could lose his next fight.

If he had signed a deal with Showtime instead of HBO, probably would have been possible... no way HBO lets Golovkin go now....
Quillin kind of screwed with GBP.... they don't have any MW's and now Golovkin gives a better deal than Quillin does to fight.
I don't think they have another MW after Danny Jacobs

Before he fights Ward at 168 he will have to have one or two fights at that weight. But before that GGG should first clear out the middleweight division. He hasn't done that yet. I think he has the potential to. But the key word is *potential.* He still has to do it.
