Man when will GGG face a live body? His resume sucks for a "number one contender"

[Plutonium]

GGG haters most common excuses:

"When will he face a live contender"

"He doesn't deserve a shot at Martinez"

You forgot one more. He doesn't deserve the Martinez fight, but he has to move up in weight and fight Ward.

When some decent MW is willing to fight him, that's when.

Quillin, same guy who struggled with rosado and failed to get a made to order jmw out of there?

I agree with that. I haven't seen the growth with Quillins fight game that I figured I would by now. Two years ago I thought Quillin was an up and comer. Somewhere along the line he has stalled in his development. My point is as raw as Quillin is he would still be the best fighter GGG has faced up to this point. Mostly due to his physical advantages.

GGG LOOKS the part but thats all we know right now and his career will be just like most boxers who have good potential and/or a good fan base early on; he will be guided to the easiest, highest paydays until he is forced to fight somebody he may lose to.

Gaele is a decent opponent and would be a quality scalp for him to pick up, it does not really get my juices flowing as Gaele when I have viewed him never seemed that impressive (he is still pretty good) but it is certainly worth giving a shot.

TS has a point.

What will happen when GGG fights someone who can take his power? What happens when he fights someone who takes him the distance? What will happen when he's forced to fight on the back foot?

GGG still has quite a few unknowns about him.

If by easiest paydays you mean constantly trying to get the best fighters at middleweight to fight him.

There's no middleweight outside of Sergio that Golovkin can beat to really impress people. Golovkin is the only middleweight apart from Sergio that anyone else can beat to make themselves a big name.

Wins over Geale, Sturm, Quillin, Macklin, Murray, N'Dam etc will earn you a certain amount of respect, but none of those are big enough names to really excite people.

Also, Golovkin's team has said that he'd fight anyone from 154 to 168. Yet he chooses to stay at 160 and fight the Adamas and Ishidas of the world.

I heard Canelo is having trouble staying at 154. This would be a fight I would pay for. There is a video floating around the net of GGG sparring with Canelo, it was only sparring but Canelo gave the better of it.
