Why has GGG's career been moved so slowly?

[rajaomair]

Hasn't he made liek 13 defenses of MW title?

Approaching Hopkins record - and he's fought better level of opposition than Hopkins for most of his MW reign.

He'll break Hopkins record, or come damn close... He needs to just keep doing what he's doing at MW - fightig the best available opponents.

He shoudn't be lured up to heavier weight classes (or maybe for one fight if mony is right).

He's going to make himself a big A-list star constatnyl drawing PPV's of 500k plus if he keeps it up.

He's already A-list over anybody whose last name doesn't start with a C.

Its 15 so 5 wins more to b-hop's record.

He has already beaten 8 top10, including 4 world champs, never even been down in 400 fights, Amateur legend 345-5, olympic silver medal, world amateur gold, AND finally ducked by almost everyone.

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 + he flew to Haymon to avoid GGG

3---Sergio martinez - "His promoter said that "no way I am putting him with this monster", GGG kept calling him out after his U.S. debut after every fight

4---Miguel cotto - ducked his mandatory(GGG) twice by fighting Geale and Canelo

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

6---Saul alvarez - Avoiding his mando(GGG). 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.

7---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".

8---Andrea Ward. The diva of the 168lb division don't want to travel or meet the a-side GGG in a catchweight so he can become a good boy and get ktfo. 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

9---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.

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

/end thread, and who gives 2 f's about Lara already. I like ward but he has to bend to the A side, 165-66 would have been fair. He was fighting at 172 for ***s sake he's a LHW.

SI ran a great article (link) on Golovkin, going quite a bit into his history.

In short, he paid his dues in Germany for 3 years. Then his promoter ran into financial issues and ended up screwing him over for 3-4 years by refusing to give him a shot at any decent name. It took Golovkin almost 2 years to litigate and get out of that contract.

After he got out, he signed with K2 and Abel and started fighting on HBO. Because of his skill and experience, he's been head and shoulders above most fighters of his level of popularity. This basically established him as a huge no-no to most big name opponents - he's not well known but is an elite talent. His risk/reward ratio is just too high.

He was chasing Felix Sturm around since 2008, then he chased Martinez in 2012-2014, whose promoter said "just because 100 fans on a message board want a fight doesn't mean I should give it to them". Now it's Cotto and Canelo.

spot on!

please guys read the article, is the least you can do.

It's 10 being regular champ when there's a super champ doesn't count for ****. Is Jacobs the WBA champ or Golovkin?

[-PBP-]

He wants to be the undisputed champion, you cant begrudge him that.

Hopkins didnt achieve that until his 49th fight. And then didn't move up until his 52nd after losing twice.

Hopkins didn't have 350 amateur fights. His early career was his learning curve.

Him accepting step aside fees says differently.

witht the you need a good promoter excuse.

So which excuse is it???

People ducking him, he needs a better promoter, he's from kaz so it doesn't help hahahahahaha

You didn't know, if Felix Sturm didn't duck him he would have a career defining win over a spectacular fighter.

[bojangles1987]

NVM, this thread looks like a toxic wash

I realized that when I mentioned Universum and no one even paid attention. I don't think any Golovkin or Ward thread can ever be anything more than toxic nonsense anymore.

Your hero won the title against an old crippled Martinez then crapped his trunks every time GGG's name was mentioned, yet you'd gladly use your mouth to clean up Cotto's waste.

Go back to your mango stand.
