    Lemiuex, Andy Lee and N'Dam - what a murderers row.
    Reading comprehension. I was saying they aren't big money fights.

    Why not Lara, DeGale or Ward?
    You should know the answer by now.

      Moving up a weight class to fight Froch in the UK isn't a risk?
      Nope. Froch only became a PPV fighter in the UK AFTER the Super Six.

        And that had nothing to do with the Super Six? Nothing to do with fighting Kessler, Abraham, etc?

        You obviously know what my point is but decide to dance around it and argue just to argue. Golovkin hasn't had the same opportunities as Froch, clearly.

          They don't mind taking a lower reward fight when the risk is low too... against mediocre fighters like Lee or Lemiuex who will make him look good.

          I do know the answer. Golovkin's team aren't willing to put him against those kinds of fighters due to the high risk and the lower reward.

          Fighting Froch is not the same risk because you get paid ****loads win, lose or draw.

            Dmitry Pirog was a high risk low reward fight. They were scheduled to fight him when Pirog pulled out just weeks before.

            Lara and Ward have never been options, DeGale would be the equivalent of Froch moving to 175 just to stay busy against a guy no one has ever heard of.

              LOL big difference between Ward and Triple G

              Ward: too scared to get tested in Europe and fight Froch in the U.K. on an even playing field (and if it's NOT even then I guess Floyd and Ward never fight anyone on equal footing)

              Triple G: Bring on the Big Drama Show in the U.K.

                A lot of Froch's fights in the Super Six weren't shown on Sky or BoxNation. He was fighting on obscure channels that no one had heard of.

                The Bute win made him a Sky PPV fighter. Taking a risky fight coming off a bad loss to Ward.

                Golovkin had the opportunity to fight Ward a year or so ago which would have made him a star with a win. His refused because they felt they were entitled to a quote "large chunk" of the purse.

                  "why fight ward for peanuts when you can fight Chavez jr(lol) for millions"

                  Ask Ward that question. If he had been an active fighter over the past three years collecting titles instead of sitting on his ass in a court room, he might be in a position today for this fight to be PPV. Right now, Ward is asking for more money than any current champion in the sport other than Mayweather or Pacquaio but he has done nothing over the past number of years to deserve it.

                    Harmless p*sssy Ward is mad right now lol...stuck battling nobodies making Jay-Z pay to get his fights on TV lol...HBO won't even air his fight They aired Bradley v. Vargas LOL

                    Triple G is in line for either Froch, Chavez Jr. or the Cotto-Canelo winner...OR even Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. Sike Got You! We all know Floyd is too p*ssy to take that fight...

                    If I see Andre, I'm going to legit smack his harmless ass just to get my name up in the boxing community..what's he going to do Clinch me or make a Vlog crying about it? Ward can't do nothing but continue to fight Cab drivers by choice! Ward = scared to fight Kovalev, scared to fight Triple G..shiiit he's even scared to fight Froch in the U.K. rather fight a bum in Oakland than fight Froch in front of a packed stadium in the U.K. LOL

                      Lara and Ward have never been options, DeGale would be the equivalent of Froch moving to 175 just to stay busy against a guy no one has ever heard of.
                      DeGale is the IBF Super Middleweight Champion of the world.

                      Beggars can't be choosers. How can a team and set of fans go on about how no one will fight GGG yet when you mention a world champion, they turn their noses up and say "no ones heard of him"?

                      Has anyone heard of any of GGG's other 35 stumblebums?

                      Nothing GGG potentially does is "equivalent" to what Froch potentially does because Froch has earned the right to be a chooser not a beggar.
