I'm not saying he isn't avoided by the top guys, he probably is but he's fought about 1 or 2 fighter in the top 50 in the division. I understand the very best fighters in the division might avoid him but i can't see any reason why a top 10-15 guy wouldn't fight him, if they lose, so what? - So even if they cant secure the best fights due to being avoided, i'm sure they can book some better fights than they have been. It's a similar situation with GGG i think. The other champions won't fight him, but the rest will. He's just managed better than Rigo and more exciting so has HBO behind him, so they secure the other fights easier. If Rigo had a better team around him, he would get more regular and better fights easier, but maybe not the other champions.

    Luis Ortiz will be avoided. When other fighters and promoters are talking about how they want to fight, he's name is seldom brought up.

    Donaire was the darling of the division .. Rigo scorched the kid like he was fighting a fighter with under 15 fights.. You can see why he's avoided

        4 times a year against the best 160 has to offer, according to his minions.

        Someone tell me, is he destroying the best at 160, or is be being ducked? GGG fans must be using one of these to bridge these two alternate dimensions where contradicting scenarios are possible...
        He's fighting every MW that has the guts to fight him. BJS already said that GGG would beat him and Eubank Jr on the same night. Do you want me to link to the video? you can search it by yourself it's in youtube.
        Canelo is running from him, trying to weaken him into 155. Jacobs? let's see in 2017. I think by the end of 2017 he cleans up 160 and moves to 168 to become lineal at 168.

          I can't think of a fighter more feared and avoided than Amir khan. Pacquaio, golovkin, Floyd, all ducked him. Golovkin isn't feared like Amir has been his whole career.

            I'm not even white, you can consider me latino. And I support asians like Pacquiao, latino-europeans like me (Martinez, Matthysse...) WTF has this to do with race? not in my case, sorry. Don't put me into that bag.
            I support Lara, Rigo, Ortiz (HW)... so what the ****?

              Not what I asked. I asked if he's fighting the best, or if he's being ducked (it can't be both, you have to pick one).

                You were the one that brought up race. You do it a lot to posters who write something you don't like about Lil G. I've told you before i'm white, i'm British and we sent you Argies running in the Falklands war.

                  I don't know how the Rigo/Loma thing ended up but I did not get the impression that Rigo avoided him.
                  As far as the Golovkin thing, oh, you're one of "those". lol

                      3-4 times a year against the best that are willing to step into the ring with him... He is being Ducked by anyone who has something to lose (BJS, Canelo, Cotto, maybe Danny Jacobs... still undecided on Danny), but he destroys every other top middleweight who was willing to enter the ring like Mathew Macklin, Martin Murray, Daniel Geale and David Lemiux.
