    Kovalev/agolovkin opponent conundrum

    Why is it bigger names are willing to face a guy like Kovalev who is the most feared man at light heavy. Yet Golovking cant find some one worth a damn to step in with him without needing a couple years to prepare and/or needing a huge payout?

    Because killa kov makes it a point to fight the best. He walks the walk, doesn't need to talk the talk

        Obviously Pascal and Hopkins have more balls than these kids at middleweight. Hopkins wants to fight Golovkin btw.

          Because Kov was happy to take short money through his career to get to this stage where is golovkin thought he was a super star 3 years ago. Honestly I blame Sanchez for this, he was chatting breeze for so long ggg bought his own hype before doing anything. It's pathetic.

            For starters Hopkins and Pascal have bigger balls than the entire middleweight division combined. It's too bad their hasn't been an equivalent of fighters for Gennady yet.

              Because kkov had to earn everything he has. Gg has been given everything on a silver platter by hbo l. Also kkkov dares to be great. He went to fight his opponents in their backyard. He agreed to a smaller purse for hia fights against pascal clEverly and hopkins. imagine if kkkov hid from his opponents by saying that I am the A side blah blah
              He even agreed to split 50% and give stevenson home court advantage

                Let's not forget that kkkov agreed to the short money to be able to make the fights happen. Cleverly, Pascal and hopkins all got the lionshare

                  I have to disagree both men have fought the same class of fighters since making their HBO debuts and both are still having big issues getting a top guy in the ring for this year.

                    Hopkins and Pascal are **** talkers but they're also willing to lay it down in the ring and gain respect in the end

                    GGG is in a division of Adonis Stevensons and fighters from other divisions who are "dabbling" long enough to win a title like Cotto/Canelo
