Who Is Boxing Has The Hardest Time Landing Legit Fights?

[Divine Hammer]

it's definitely GGG.

only reason geale is fighting him now is because he has nothing to lose anymore. all the other "champions" still avoid him.

[Larry the boss]

Golovkin has had it harder than any of the others. He's been begging for years. Rigo has had it mostly good before now, and Thurman and Kovalev are just starting to get avoided.

GGG turned down Ward and Lara..2 damn good fights so kill that

The idea of your survey is based on a myth. No one in boxing has a difficult time landing opponents. That is an excuse that the fighter's promoter or management team uses to protect the fighter and avoid putting the fighter in the ring with quality opponents. If you fail to see that, to quote the great Roger Mayweather, "you don't know s...t about boxing."

No one is afraid of Keith Thurman, GGG, Rigondeaux or Kovalev or anyone else. Each one of these guys has a different reason for not landing quality opponents

For Rigondeaux, it is because Arum doesn't care about him and was not willing to match him with a quality opponent after the Donaire fight.

For Thurman, it is because his promoter, Richard Schafer, was protecting him to keep him from losing, just as he did to Alvarez and Deontay Wilder.

For GGG, it is because he and his team don't want to fight tough opponents. He could have moved up to 168 anytime in the last year and fought Froch, Ward or Kessler, but chose not to do it. However, he was willing to move up to 168 to fight Chavez Jr.? He could have fought Lara at 160, but turned the fight down. He and his team want to give people the impression he is an avoided fighter, but that is not the case.

Kovalev is a nobody. The 175-pound division is weak and the two best fighters, Stevenson and Hopkins, are both fighting on Showtime. Both would beat him. Kovalev's promoter, Cathy Duva, made sure she signed him to an HBO contract recently to avoid the possibility of him fighting either of those guys.

look at this ****sucker go off on a tangent

Who is Lara's manager? Which network does GGG fight on?

Except he didn't turn down either. One is suing his promoter, who in turn won't make fights, the other is Haymon and was rejected by HBO.

But that's not what you want to believe, so you won't.

[bojangles1987]

****ing desperate Golovkin haters who beg him to move up instead of begging his division to fight him are going to hold on to Lara forever, no matter how ridiculous it is to do so.

[BattlingNelson]

Floyd. He tried Tszyu, Margorito, Pac etc. Nobody want none. He couldn't even get Shane before he was old and shot.


As for the options in the poll, I'll have to go with Golovkin. Its baffling that he has been qualified for a top fight for so many years yet none has been made.

Ahhh.... Poor little baby can't stand for anyone to tell him he is wrong. Why don't you go and find your mommy so she can hold you in her arms, give you a cookie and tell you everything will be okay.
