    It's weird. Kovalev fights mostly bums as well, but seems to be universally loved on here whilst Golovkin is mostly hated.

Not sure what it is about Golovkin that makes people treat this situation differently.
      Yo, what you talking about man? Only person ducking is Golovkin.

      Refuses to fight Quillin
      Always picks a date Geale can't fight. Couldn't even move his fight up or down a week to make it happen.
      Won't give a reasonable compromise to Murray for his Visa problems because he knows he can blame him for it.

      Face it man....Golovkin has been ducking the entire MW division the whole time, that was the endgame.

        Kovalev was basically unknown at the start of the last year, didn't have a title and has fought a far higher level of opposition than GGG - Campillo. White. Cleverly. Sillakh.

        If you think those are bums (a term that shouldn't be used about any pro fighter unless you are one) you DKSAB.

        I ain't really blaming GGG for his less than stellar opposition, but Kovalevs 2012 was better than GGGs.

          Kovalev actually received better chances, coming from nowhere last year, than anyone has been willing to give Golovkin. And he's probably getting Stevenson later this year.

            Zou would be a huge draw. This because Chris John just retired, unfortunately.

              .
              That isn't even close to being "far higher", "slightly higher" i could probably understand. As for Cleverly, have you actually seen him fight? He sucks and was one of the worst world champions in recent memory.

                You forgot to mention that Golovkin discarded Ward's $300,000 offer for a fight in Oakland, and Froch's 15-85% split for a fight at the Wembley stadium.

                  **** this fight. I know it's vs a legit middleweight and ppl complain bout the lack of natural 160 pounders GGG fights. I though wann see GGG vs Lara. Very interesting scrap IMO. Canelo ducked Lara and everyone's ducking GGG at middleweight. Sounds like a good fight.

                    That can't happen next though, since Golovkin's going to be on HBO. I hope they can find some way to make it happen afterwards.

                      It's only likely to happen if Lara jumps ship or they make it off HBO (say like Monte Carlo 2015).

                      K2 just don't seem to have much interest in it tho, and I can kinda see why, but it's a pity 'cos I think it'd be a great fight and a good test for Golovkin.
