Look I'm a fan of the guy and yes he's been avoided to an extent but enough with this crap already. You're beating a dead horse back to life then back to death and so on....
GGG avoided

Every great MW has been avoided by the champion and top fighters for years before they were able to claim official dominance. Greb had to wait as the #1 contender for years before Johnny Wilson was allowed by the mob to fight him. Massachusetts senator Ted Kenneday and Speaker of the House Tip Oneil pushed to get Hagler a shot at the title b/c he had been so avoided. Hopkins never had his first title unification until he 35 years old, and that was after winning his first title as a vacant title.
The difference between those guys and Gennady is today, there's 4 independent titles, so guys like BJS can hide away w/o ever having to fight Golokvin. Also, there's big tv money, where we see guys fighting only 1-2 a year b/c they make so much. They no longer need to fight the best to make the most. Before the Quillin fight, the most Danny Jacobs ever made was $550k, now he's calling $1.5mill chump change.Comment

This is Golovkin making excuses for not fighting Ward.http://www.badlefthook.com/2015/6/16...sts-andre-ward
Ward then tried defending himself saying he had an injury but he got stripped of his title for never presenting evidence that he had an injury.Comment

Mike McCallum
Watched an interview where he met Hagler at a convention. Hagler said he respected him, and Mike fired back and asked him why he never fought him.
Ward not only ducked Golovkin in 2013, but he also ducked Stevenson in 2013. Notice something about Ward going into retirement? Asterisk, respect it, not Ward.Comment
