Comments Thread For: Roach: Don't Blame Golovkin, Nobody at 160 Will Fight Him!

[Brakus]

GGG only fought once in his hometown and that was 6 years ago.

HE already offered them their career high paydays around 3 million.

here is the list of some boxers who ducked him, u r welcome

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 - Avoided 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 b4 he was retired 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---Billy joe Saunders - Even before winning the WBO title from Lee his fear of Golovkin was as biright as day this is just one of many interviews(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJuwAz-ekoQ), then after winning it he priced himslef out at 6 mil$. Then turned down $3.2mill offer from k-2(its 2.2 gbp so I converted)

10---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.

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

Amazing post!! Well said and I used this post to educate the boxing fans in another forum- you're right on the money here

i dont believe they could find 1 fighter out of 30 top ten guys at 154-160....he ends up fighting a welterweight.....proof is in the pudding. they could have got a reasonable opponent and offered reasonable money but they have a plan in the works...build his name and rep,maximizing $ and hype while minimizing risk to get there

Proof is in the pudding moron when every single MW is avoiding him at all costs! Tell me why every single MW is avoiding fighting him if he is all 'hype'? Explain that

30 top ten guys at 154/160? Like who??? Who is/ was free at 154/160 to fight GGG in September? Fighters on PBC / Showtime obviously won't fight on HBO and vice versa...so which top 154/160 lb does that leave GGG to fight in Sept?

Answer these questions and then you will realize the truth.

Ok, but you haven't answered my two basic questions.

1. Why is every single MW avoiding fighting GGG as much as possible?

2. To use your term- 'negotiating'- which fighter from 154-168 was available for a high profile fight in Sept? Excluding PBC/ Showtime guys who obviously won't fight on HBO due to network issues, which fighter from 154-168 could GGG have fought in a high profile fight in Sept?

Excellent and informative post. Thank you.

Canelo, Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank, Ward, Lara, Zurdo. If GGG wasn't going to be in a fight with either of those names, the critics would have been up-&-arms about how weak GGG's resume is...& how K2 & Loeffler talk a big game, but aren't able to seal the deal with these fighters. Here's the problem: isn't the sport about contender vs. champion? If a contender doesn't want any part of the champion, how is that the champion's fault? If it had been Heiland or Magomedov or Tureano Johnson, haters would have tried to reason that GGG is fighting "another mandatory." Or, "GGG is fighting another bum." The GGG/Brook fight is a mismatch & a money grab...no other way to see it. However, it should also be accompanied with the narrative that every "viable" option ducked him. And this should be repeated ad nauseam. "GGG/Brook is a mismatch, but only because all the good MW's ducked GGG."
