    And come on, do you hate Sergio?, you want to see him seriously hurt?. Because in all honesty, if the post Chavez jr version of Sergio came to me saying "I want to fight GGG" , as a human being, I'd have advised him against that.

    That leaves Sturm and Quillin, which would make his resume look better, but nothing to really write home about.

    Ward, on the other hand, would be a huge win for GGG's resume.
    Just making the point that the guy can't fight people who don't want to fight him.
    Andre Ward is a great fighter a weight class or 2 above GGG now depending on what he does. The risk is not worth it for them at the moment. If a Canelo or Cotto fight is on the horizon it just doesn't make sense to fight Ward now. Why people can't see this is beyond me.
    GGG will fight Ward, just not until he lands that big $ fight with Canelo/Cotto.

      I definitely think we'll end up seeing a series.

        Mayweather can't sustain that kind of movement anymore and he's easier to trap against the ropes. I know it's fashionable to hate on Golovkin at this point, sometimes rightfully so but he has one of the best jab in the game and that's enough to bust Mayweather up.

          2 fights atleast.

          Cotto and Canelo were made for each other.

            No reason to hate on him. Just boxing wise hes not good enough to beat Mayweather.

            Golovkin doesnt have half the foot speed of a faded Pacquiao hes not trapping Floyd anywhere. He would do whatever he pleases vs Golovkin. Im not buying it never have.

            I wish it would happen. After the fight the forum would be full of posts saying GGG was green and wasnt ready I know it. There is levels to this Mayweather beats him imo.

            Wont be popular but whatever.

              Wouldn't surprise me. Imagine if it's a competitive back and forth fight with May 5th around the corner? A rematch will be on the table.

                Pacquiao's foot speed even at this stage was better than Castillo's, Jesus Chavez, Maidana, Cotto and the list goes on and on, Pacquiao still didn't have the same success as those guys cutting Mayweather off. It's not solely the speed, Golovkin cuts off the ring very well and he does so behind a very solid step in jab, on top of that he possesses a good right hand that comes downward which will catch Mayweather. I hate even getting into the technicalities when really, at this stage that's too much to chew and Golovkin is a damn good fighter who's also too big.

                  Yep, even with a decisive winner it's very possible. One thing I'm very certain of, it's gonna be competitive throughout.

                    Then tell the notable fighters to stop ducking GGG. Peteyyy quillen come out to playyyyy, cotto, ward, etc . None of these guys want the good boy killer.

                      He's not being ducked anymore. He's fighting Lemieux, Lee wants to fight and he's been called out by Ward and Lara.

                      Canelo and Cotto have bigger fish to fry so GGG took a back seat. Just like he told Lara and Ward to take a back seat.
