cotto's the most blatant ducker in the sport right now. golovkin is the biggest draw in the division not named cotto or canelo. he's selling tickets well in new york by the look of things, and he always does well on HBO. he's just amde it to HBO ppv. if he does decent on PPV, the winner of the cotto - canelo fight should ideally fight golovkin. maybe you let them take a stay busy fight, but the idea that the golovkin fight has to be built will be out the window if he does well [2-300K buys] on PPV.
golovkin was ducked by martinez. he was ducked by froch. he's ducked by quillin, jacobs.
andre ward won't fight him at 164. i don't hthink he'd go to 164 for anybody not named floyd mayweather [i don't think he'd be healthy / strong at the weight,] but that's not in disagreement with the fact that ward won't go to 164 to fight golovkin.
golovkin doesn't just beat guys. he beats them up. there's a big, big difference. taking a beating and taking a loss are two different things. a bad beating can end a career. a bad beating can f#king kill a guy.
sergey kovalev, for instance, killed a young fighter named roman simakov. his brain bled and he died.

GGG in that cotto, the lineal wont fight him. i dont count ward as 164 is ****** and not realistic. canelo i think will fight him eventually
thurman - maidana has ducked him several times, khan wont even say his name, has a hard time getting his big breakthrough match up to push him to the top of 147

is it just me or does an avoided boxer almost seem like it is manufactured this day and age?
Like how many times have we heard about a fighter who is supposed to be avoided by everyone then later on we find out he was holding out for more money or bigger fights and once top level fighters want to fight they have 15 excuses why they cant? I just feel like this whole everyone is scared to fight me thing is manufactured these days.
Just like promoters have learned to call out the fighter everyone hates whether its a realistic fight or not its all part of the everyone is scared of me crap

So I'll make a current one.
Also, Andre Ward needs to be added as a choice since he makes guys that were at times willing to fight at 168 change their minds.
