    Name one middleweight champion that has offered to fight GGG. I mean, yea, to win in the ring is great. But how do you win it in the ring when the champion refuses to fight you?

      I rather Lara be dead than ever watch him again.

        Oh wait, you were saying Lara is more proven? What is so great about Laras career?
        Sturm was the WBA champ when Golovkin was given that title. He was no more WBA champ than Jacobs is now.

          Again, you made a comparison between Carlos Monzon and GGG without pointing out Monzon was the undisputed lineal champ while GGG is a MW beltholder who was awarded that title, he didn't win it in the ring.

          To use a baseball analogy, Monzon hit a triple while GGG was born on 3rd base.

          Just have a little respect for what Monzon accomplished when comparing it to the BS, gerrymandered "title" defenses GGG has.

          When GGG wins the MW title and defends that 14 times then its a fair, honest comparison.

            The same limited Canelo that GGG is so desperate to fight? It was a close fight, I scored it a draw, haven't watched again. Struggled with Angulo? Ok....he then busted his eye up and made him quit.

            Watch Murray and Lara fight. Martin Murray is a straight up fighter with a high guard, slow hands, slow feet. Just painfully average. Lara moves well, is far more agile and quick, throws sharp counters. He'd be the most skilled fighter Golovkin has ever been in the ring with by some distance.

            Like I said, stop watching boxing if you think Martin Murray is better than Erislandy Lara.

              If willie monroe can get a GGG fight with no problem. Then so can Lara. Its obvious GGG doesnt want to fight him for some reason.

              Funny how willie monroe gets a fight and golovkins fans dont ***** about it, but when lara wants to fight they start whining like theres some kind of problem

                  Monroe has fights at middleweight. How many does Lara have?

                    is carlos molina a middleweight yet?

                      Monroe moved well, was more agile and quick and threw plenty of sharp counters. Didn't really help him.
