Could Golovkin end up being the next Jeff Lacy?

ward should have half his purse taken away for holding butting elbowing etc. I wish smith had plaster in his gloves to counter mental wardGolovkin's actually a central Asian fighter. Kazakh boxing program is pretty distinct from European. I believe HBO did a short segment about Vassily Jirov being trained by a guy who would lock him in a room with attack dogs.
BTW - Ward opened that cut on Paul Smith with a headbutt in like the 4th round (just like the Kolle fight).Comment

Its the same thing you were explained dozens of times but it never sinks in, go figure. Both guys would want a good chunk but its not ppv so not feasible. Hell just Wards purse would be beyond Hbos budget. Notice he said Ggg was offered a big chunk from Chavez' people, 2.5m guarantee or just under 30%.http://www.boxingscene.com/golovkin-...l-sense--80389
July 2014. Almost a full year before Ward fought Smith.Comment

Lets see: stayed very active, destroyed 5 Ring top tenners in 2 years, excellent ratings and live gate, p4p rated himself, Ring readers Foty, got offered a "huge chunk" from biggest star above 154 for ppv. Shortly thereafter got #1 active Smw, p4p rated Froch to issue those infamous quotes, and sent him into retirementComment

Why ask GGG to go up or down in weight class? If Cotto (who was a great fighter as a welterweight before the cement glove incident) doesn't want to fight GGG he should give up his middleweight title. Chavez Jr didn't want GGG even though his promoter did. I agree he's untested because no one wants to fight him.Comment
