Who has Golovkin Beat?

[OffDaChainChico]

kinda hard to take this opinion seriously when they've been wanting to match him up with martinez to no avail.

Why would Sergio want to fight GGG when a fight with Chavez was on the horizon? After that fight, Sergio deserved a tune up due to the injuries he suffered in the Chavez fight. Now, a Cotto fight is much more lucrative and he's wanted it for years. Remember that GGG just recently started to become popular.

In my opinion, it's ok to be a big fan of GGG and appreciate him as a fighter but he gets overrated and overhyped. People say he'd beat all these fighters but he hasn't been tested yet. Let the man win some big fights first.

He has the blessing of HBO - so if he's not getting the big fights then what exactly is the problem? This story about everyone @ 160 ducking him is a steaming pile. Again, Golovkin has the blessing of HBO and everybody wants to make the HBO money - so the "everyone @ 160 is ducking him" crap needs to stop. Golovkin is being PROTECTED - which shouldn't come as a surprise seeing as who his promoter is.

And if it were true that everyone at 160 is ducking Golovkin - a story which is a load of crap - then why does he not move up the eight pounds and meet the challenge that's waiting for him there in a truly big fight? If nobody wants to fight @ 160 then go fight Ward. I'm sure he's ready and willing. I'm sure HBO would be only too happy to make it worth everyone's while. Yet, Golovkin's promoter continues to raid cemeteries in order to find Golovkin's next opponent.

When will you G F@gs wake up and realize you've been conned?

He's not ready and willing though. Have you heard him say he wants to fight Golovkin next? He's always talking Chavez Jr. and Froch.

The only guys calling out Golovkin were Mora and Froch and it's probably on the backburner for Froch now with the Groves fight.

Excuse me but why does the #2 P4P fighter in the world need to call out a guy who hasn't done anything? Why does a 168lb fighter who's the linear champion in his division need to call out a guy who's merely a titlist in the division below? What does Golovkin have that Ward should call him out? He isn't even the #1 guy @ 160...

LOL.

If Golovkin's people claim nobody @ 160 wants to fight then it's on them to find a suitable challenge. That challenge lives one division North. If Golovkin wants a challenge, if he wants Ward then Golovkin needs to call him out...

Everybody involved wants it to marinate, including Ward:

It shouldn't take a p4p #2 one division up to expose a hypejob, right?

You're saying Ward was willing, but when asked Ward doesn't seem all that keen.

Just to pick up on something you said above:

Golovkin has the blessing of HBO and everybody wants to make the HBO money

The HBO money isn't all that much for Golovkin fights, 300-400k pre-tax, fees and expenses.

He comes cheap, but his opponents don't. Macklin and Stevens both made 300k+, an unbelievable split vs featured champ. By comparison, over at Showtime Quillin's opponents are happy to get 100k

Golovkin has the benefit of fighting in a weak division. However, despite fighting in a weak division, Golovkin is protected as all hell. I don't buy into this "ducked by everybody" sad story the G F@gs are singing. That's a steaming pile. Golovkin has the blessing and backing of HBO. If his handlers wanted to up his competition, they could do so with no problem. Instead, Golovkin is fighting another "keep busy" fight in a career made up of "keep busy" fights. This is no different than Arum's creation of the big bad middleweight monster in the form of JCCjr. ALL HYPE. The first real fighter Baby Chavez got put into the right with exposed that hype job REAL QUICK. I suspect it will be the same with Golovkin. Dude is WAY too easy to hit. There's plenty good reason why you never hear Golovkin mentioning Wards name. Ward gives him the Chad Dawson treatment - only worse...

You need to sell that snake oil somewhere else.

Lampley's blind and senile ass just pronounced Golovkin the P4P #5 fighter in the world [WTF?!?] and Golovkin holds the #3 highest rating in 2013 for a HBO boxing telecast.

Stop making excuses for a fighter who is obviously being protected...
