"I have a great deal of respect for Oscar," Golovkin told ESPN.com on Monday night. "He was a great champion and a huge star in the sport.
"If he decides to fight me, I'm ready as soon as possible. It would be another big drama show"
De La Hoya stipulated that if he was to fight Golovkin, who has knocked out 20 opponents in a row, the match would have to happen at 154 pounds, not at 160, where Golovkin holds a title. Golovkin said he would be willing to make that concession in order to make the fight.
K2 Promotions managing director Tom Loeffler, Golovkin's promoter, also said he would welcome the fight.
"This would be similar to Sugar Ray Leonard coming out of his retirement to face Marvin Hagler and would be a very big promotion," Loeffler said.
