A very very interesting NEW article about Golovkin

[SplitSecond]

MD at no point have I ever suggested GGG is being avoided. But you and his fans need to stop making excuses for him.

Had he tried to fight Ward at the same weight he did froch or chavez, 168, then you and the poster would have a valid argument.

Bottom line is he is being judged based on the fact he's fighting Lemuiex at 160 Saturday instead of Ward at 168.

Dare to be great I believe is the term.

He wouldn't be fighting Ward anyway, Ward needed atleast one other tune up.

A crap resume is a crap resume regardless of race and how much you like GGG.

...

I've asked you this before and you always avoid it.

The point is GGG gets criticized for the lack of quality opposition and the fact he didn't go to 168 for a ward fight like he planned to do for froch or chavez.

I'll post this again, for you...

As about GGG's "resume", read this one again:

Exactly, here are the 11 boxers that ducked/ducking GGG

1---Felix sturm - wouldn't fight him for over 2 years when GGG was mandatory.

2---Peter quillin - said he will only fight for the may-pac kind of money, lol

3---Sergio martinez - "His promoter said that "no way I am putting him with this monster"

4---Hassaan ndam njikam -When Hassaan was WBO champ, he was ordered to a purse bid to face Golovkin no less than two times and he was a no show each time.

5---Miguel cotto - didn't want to fight him despite being mandatory.

6---Julio cesar chavez jr - Turned down 12mil offer by TR

7---Saul alvarez - Thinks that he is fighting at the weight-class of 155, as there is no such thing as a "155 weight-class" ,he is pretending to be not in the MW division because of GGG.There are 17 divisions just pick one, if you can't make 154 then you are a MW, simple.

8---Carl froch - After calling GGG out then when GGG accepted ,he backed down and now he is retired after making all the fuss, GGG was calling him for more than a year so no excuses for "retiring".

9---Andrea Ward (who GGG called since 2012 and who remembered only this spring ) [Ward] was willing to goto 160 for Floyd but when GGG said 164, Ward ducked.+ he was fine when Dawson came down a whole division for him but wont move half a division for GGG, smh

10---Sebastian Sylvester - When Sylvester was IBF champ, he ducked GGG blatantly

11---Darren Barker - When Barker defeated Geale to become IBF champ, his promoter openly said that Barker will fight any1 except GGG

Add Canelo Alvarez to this list. Canelo is fighting at 155 for two years now, thus refusing to act like the true "middleweight" he really is.

Imagine Hopkins fighting Keith Holmes on PPV. Goodness. Actually, my bad, Keith Holmes. You beat Richie Woodhall among others. Comparing you to Lemieux is a dead slap in your face.

talk about rose-tinted glasses

i think ward's offer to ggg was the same as his offer to kovalev: three tune-ups and meet at the end of 2016

talk about rose-tinted glasses

Right, right

I know, right? He was probably looking forward to Hops-Echols 3 or maybe Hops-Allen 4.........

fight ward at 168 instead of Lemuiex and you'd have a valid point.

GGG is to Ward @ 168 as (pick any from list other than Ward, except cotto, canelo and sergio) is to GGG @ 160. Sergio, canelo and cotto invoked GGG's "not enough money" clause.

Scardey cats don't get credit because scardey cats don't fight them.

Maybe that why he wanted to fight GGG at 168-he needed another tuneup.

Imagine them on PPV

Imagine them on PPV

if Hops could have drawn flies at that time they might have been. But he couldnt, so........
