    You mean like how ggg calls out floyd but doesn't wanna fight at 154. And calls out ward but won't fight at 168

      When did Golovkin call out Ward? I remember Ward calling out Golovkin after the Rubio fight on HBO. In fact I remember his words were - "Any place, any time".... The only offer Ward sent out after that was to Paul Smith at 172lbs.

      Unlike team Lara, team Golovkin have reached out to team Froch to make the fight. How about that?

      Lara's twitter is filled with him talking about Golovkin, but here he is fighting a journeyman fighter who should be retired and coming off fights where he looked really bad. He could've made a statement to the fans showing he's a badass, but instead he's looking like a guy who just wants to collect a paycheck.

        So maybe you should stop diggling your dirk and smarten up a bit. You constant anti Golovkin posts have gotten beyond boring. You are not that ****** are you?
        Two tears ago ggg didn't have anyone line up and lara offer himself to fight, I remember ggg saying he will fight anybody from 154-168, Lara was a free agent at that time, ggg shut up for awhile...

          Shouldn't he have to "make a statement" at 168 first? Or does that rule only apply to Lara?

          And why can't Golovkin's team reach out to Lara? They'd want the fight on HBO only so the ball is in their court.

              HBO have already rejected Lara as a possible opponent, something else that you are well aware of.

              Anyways, you have proved that you really are dumber than I thought you were or simply just an ignorant ass. Either way, you are now on my ignore list with the rest of your kind.

                I heard Loeffler say they rejected him over a year ago. Since then, Loeffler has said after both of GGG's last 2 fights that he will try to make the Lara fight happen. Have HBO rejected him again? I must have missed that.

                Anyone who questions Golovkin goes on this kid's ignore list. WHo are you? Freedom? What a little girl

                  Calling someone out is easy. Golovkin's manager keeps mentioning his name but puts nothing in writing.
                  Ha! You're describing Lara's team. De Cubas is the one on Twitter that constantly name drops Golovkin and proceeds to do nothing. I don't know why you don't understand this, still. PBC fighters aren't going on HBO.
