    I don't think so. He may have to take some risks he doesn't want to (move up) but I don't think he's inclined to.

      What does that make guys like Matthysse and Khan who Danny Garcia has beat? Or guys like Trout and Lara that Canelo has beat? Are they then A fighters?

      Geale is terribly average and so is Barker.
      Please, continue on your life long spree of attempting to discredit everything Golovkin related in an effort to divert the attention away from Froch and his Promoter not wanting the fight.

      By the way, being beat by an average fighter doesn't suddenly make you average. It's like calling Tyson a bum after losing to Douglas, it's a ****** way of analysis IMO.

        We all know he hasn't beat an elite fighter, this isn't news. At the same time, can't fault him for that either. He's done his part, he keeps winning, beating top ten guys while trying to secure big fights. Unfortunately they haven't came yet but they will. Like an "old" Bernard Hopkins beating all the top ten guys for years before he finally got a big fight at age 36. Just have to be patient, they'll come eventually. I'm sure if Canelo beats Cotto he'll be man enough to defend the crown with honor.

          How am I discrediting Golovkin? I'm calling a spade a spade. An average fighter an average fighter. A bum a bum.

          Trying to call Daniel fkin Geale a B level fighter is an insult to B level fighters.

            You're calling a spade a spade, and so am I.

            Hearn in his most recent video has made it pretty clear he believes Golovkin and Degale would most likely bring in the same kind of revenue. His reasoning is that it's common sense to choose the easier fight in Degale for the same money than it is to fight Golovkin, who'd arguably do far more for his legacy. He's also pretty sure that Degale fights Froch and not Chavez.

              yeah his time will come. hopkins has fought for more than 10 years before he got that big fight while ggg's been fighting as a pro for just 8 years.

                And what does that have to do with this thread? Why are you guys so insecure that you have to derail threads talking about Froch?

                I'd probably say Golovkin's best win is a slightly shopworn Matthew Macklin. I'd pick Macklin to beat Geale.

                  Why are you so insecure you feel like creating threads just to reinforce your opinion, which you've spouted for the past week over and over in multiple threads.

                  Don't act like you can't ignore posts that don't follow the topic of the thread. It isn't my fault you want to respond to every poster who mentions Froch recently.

                    Wtf? I didn't create this thread

                    Try to talk more about the topic and less about me.

                    Do you rate Geale as highly as guys like Trout, Lara, Matthysse, Maidana, Khan? Serious question.
