"Top name" in the mix for Golovkin

[El Angel]

*Yawn* Wake me up when one of the "top names" decides to grow a pair and sign the contract. It is frustrating being a Triple G fan sometimes with him being so good.

Murray, come on. Sergio where you at? Mayweather, we'll come down to 154 for you... what's up? Andre Ward, stop the excuses... If you're fighting this prospect La Bomba, there is no reason for you not to face Triple G.

GGG didn't want to move up to SMW yet did he? Ward isn't ducking GGG and GGG isn't ducking Ward. I think in a year or so, this fight will happen on HBO PPV.

what happened to Pirog? Kid looked promising. Injuries I heard about but what since then? Any news of a big opponent for him?

Last I heard, he reinjured himself in Feb and it could be career ending

[Evil Abed]

Only person that would be classified as a "top guy" would be Geale

I hope their definition for top guy isn't the same as oscars de la hoyas definition

Hopefully. I agree with your assessment.

[SnakeVen0m]

can't wait to see him back and love that he's so active

I love that too but he kinda has to, he's 31 yo already. We'll be lucky to get another 8-10 more years from him.

I think Geale just waiting for Barker/Sturm winner.
Doesn't he have a rematch clause with the winner?

Doubt it... I think less than 5

Seems inevitable, doesn't it? I was talking the other day with my old man and he said that there will come a point where the top names will have no choice but to face Golovkin if he stays making noise. It is frustrating though because those who have followed him for a while know that he is ready for the top names and I feel like he is just wasting energy/time beating up on those who have the balls to fight him until he gets a top name. It's gotten to the point where it's hard to get excited if the fight is not with a top name, feels like a waste of time.

No way, Sturm-Barker have a rematch clause. If he does, thats a rather ridiculous web of rematch clauses

He was supposed to fight Golovkin on HBO but injuried his back. Last I heard, around the time Wlad fought Povetkin... he said he was planning a comeback but I didn't hear a timeframe for a return.


Back injuries are devastating but I have a feeling he will be back. You gotta feel for him not getting that Martinez fight when he was healthy.


Martinez ducked him

Lmao. Who has the rematch clause in Sturm-Barker..... Barker obviously, right?
