Who is the closest to "elite" that GGG has faced?

Ummmmmmmmmmm

Yes, lets see if Floyd will give GGG the opportunity to make a name for himself, just like Hernandez did for Floyd. You have to start somewhere don't you? We saw Miguel beat Sergio. Lets see if Floyd can beat GGG, that would be a nice fight.

Floyd was a baby when he fought Hernandez not even remotely the same lololol. What does beating GGG prove?

Scared of what exactly?

I don't think Golovkin is "scared" of Ward and I don't think other fighters are "scared" of Golovkin. It's just business.

But it's always Golovkin fanboys claiming people are "scared" of him and then when you mention Ward's name they have every excuse in the book.

Like he is "**** scared" of Ward? We've played this game before.

Ward needs to produce an offer. Even then hes in a higher weightclass, not a contender for Gggs belt. I mean, Froch has been called out by several LHW but is too small to tangle with them monsters

It is annoying from both sides I agree. Thought you were going to give an excuse just the same. Nevamind.

To Be Fair...it is not like he is not trying to fight the best fighters in his division but at the same time this year is the rise of GGG and he had a good year and has clearly made a name for himself now. So come 2015 it is absolutely NO EXCUSE from the winner of Cotto vs Canelo on why they shouldn't fight him, I'm seeing Arum throw out Bradley name as the possible opponents for the winner of that fight, that makes no damn sense that a Welterweight would be able to leap and get a shot at a Middleweight Title over the best Middleweight Fighter?

As for the Ward situation, tired of hearing about that, GGG fans need to shut the *** up about Ward because they're the ones who started this GGG vs Ward stuff and talking about how GGG would KNOCK HIM OUT but then when Ward answers that THREAT people make excuse. GGG is at 160, Ward is at 168, that fight could still be a year or 2 away. And regardless if we know GGG is the best at 160, he still has to go out and beat the Top Guys at 160 when they finally Man Up and Fight Him!

What a ridiculous notion and excuse! The fight could happen but Golovkin's team don't want it and have said they don't want it. Now is it because he's "**** scared"?

No it's because it doesn't make financial sense. Tom Loeffler's words. You can't run and hide from them. Just like it doesn't make financial sense for some guys to face Golovkin.

Btw....do you get paid for randomly mentioning Carl Froch in every one of your posts?

The MW division has never really been the same since the late 80's when the SMW & JMW division started up. Even then, champs like Hagler & Monzon had their greatest career defining fights against smaller men who moved up in weight.

As pointed out in this thread Hopkins went through the same process as Golovkin's going through as their respective accomplishments at MW are pretty much equal in respective time lines of age & title defenses. Quillin, Korobov, Lemiuex and Alvarez might achieve a respected 'elite' status over the next year or two and there are some quality JMW's who'll eventually move up. And there's some MW prospects who'll advance quickly like Derevyanchenko, Khytrov, Murata, Wade who may reach that status in a year or two as well.

lol the irony is staggering.

It's just embarrassing. If I was them, I'd just dropped the whole "scared" and "ducking" ****. Just keep quiet and let Golovkin's career play out. The Andre Ward situation doesn't help their crusade.

Why do they insist on being so aggressive only to get swiftly check-hooked by their own hypocrisy?
