    May not end well for GGG...

    In his early thirties, in his prime, nobody of note wants to fight him. So he keeps taking these "available" opponents. You'll beat most of these guys. But you're taking a serious gamble. There's always that ONE guy that rises to the challenge. Next thing you know, GGG is beaten, exposed, and now the opponents line up . By then GGG is 36+, past his prime, and he's done. Hope it doesn't end that way, buts that's where it's headed.

    I don't think he's fighting guys that present much risk but yea, he's wasting a lot time going nowhere. And, the myth that no one will fight him has been busted repeatedly.

      Cotto turned him down to fight the Australian guy.

        Really? The one guy ready to fight him is a SWW barred from HBO. Canelo needs 2 years, Andrade needs 3, Quillin needs it to be as big as Floyd Pac, Jacobs will fight him but not next, Froch would rather swerve him cause he punches like a mule, Chavez passed on 7m, Cotto wont touch him, Ward needs multiple tuneups...

          Well, there's really not much he can do at this point. His best option is just to keep fighting everybody else and hope that Canelo can defeat Cotto and step up to the challenge.


          ....or he can move up to 168 where all the top guys would be willing to fight him, but his fans don't want to hear that option.

            That's boxing. You can only fight who is in your division.

              It's funny because Golovkin has used several of those excuses to duck Ward.

              Needs 2-3 years? Check.
              Needs it to be PPV? Check.
              May fight him eventually but not next? Check.
              Would rather swerve him cause he's a master boxer? Check.

                Really? What 'top guys' at 168? Andre Ward? Not ready until he has at least two tune up fights. Andre Dirrell? Squashed him as an amateur. Busy and works for Haymon - not happening. Anthony Dirrell? Recently exposed as a fraud and worthless. Chavez Jr? On the scrap heap and not available due to Haymon. Sturm? Avoided GGG as a MW and will do the same at SMW. Abraham? See Sturm. DeGale? Busy with his own fight. Groves? Also busy. Froch? Already has one foot out the door. Would retire as soon as GGG announced his move up.

                So where are all the 'top guys' who are waiting to fight him?

                  Every one of your points has been debunked dozens of times but like an ignorant **** you continue to post them. Welcome to my ignore list.

                    Nobody gives a *** about Ward. GGG is smart for not fighting him
