      In about a year this old mans reflexes are going to slip and someone is going to spark him cold -- hopefully on HBO fighting a journeyman.

        Golovkin's made offers to move up to 168lbs 4x already, each time the SMW turned him down.


        November 2012 - Golovkin offers Edwin Rodriguez & Thomas Oosthuizen.
        La Bomba was undefeated and turned down $500k, twice his highest payday at that point. Oosthuizen asked for more money than was available.

        For a few hours on Friday, Worcester super middleweight Edwin “La Bomba” Rodriguez was nearly bumped into a whole new tax bracket. As it turned out, the undefeated USBA champion (22-0-0, 15 knockou…


        May 2014 - In addition to negotiating with Chavez Jr for a fight at 168, Loeffler was also negotiating with Kessler for a fight at 168. But Kessler was asking for $4million.

        Before Mikkel Kessler started his press conference in Copenhagen to announce his comeback, an interested party had made a call to inquire about a potential fight. According to Danish tabloid Ekstrabladet, Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions reached out to Sauerland Event, to discuss the possibility of a clash between Kessler and IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin for a July date in Las Vegas. The fight would obviously have to take place at the super middleweight limit of 168-pounds, although Kessler has stated in several interviews that he might entertain a catch-weight.


        May 2015 - Golovkin & Froch negotiate. Froch retires.

        February 2016 - Golovnkin's manager approaches WBA 168lb champ - Fedor Chudinov. Chudinov says he's not ready for Golovkin.
        WBA super middleweight champion Fedor Chudinov (14-0, 10KOs) is not a young fighter at 28-years-old, but he is now a world champion who is gaining experience. Last May Chudinov pulled off one of the big surprises of 2015 when he won a twelve round split decision over veteran Felix Sturm to capture the vacant WBA title. Sturm, based on sheer experience, was the big favorite to win the fight.



        His team is currently having discussions with TR for a Rameriz fight next year. Loeffler and Sanchez are on record saying they'd accept the DeGale fight.

        People need to start jumping on the opponents to take the damn fight.

              They are obsessed because they want him out of the way. So that their favorite fighters will have a possibility to claim middleweight. After that middleweight will cease to be "weak division".

                nope wrong, golovkin is ducking every single dangerous fighter there is, canelo, cotto, ward, lara, saunders, jacobs, ramirez, eubank jr, degale, jack, froch (when he was active). Thats what ive been told by knowledgeable and objective posters such as canelomaidana, isaac clarke and justthefacts

                  But the thing is - he doesn't anymore. He got what he wanted from Canelo already - WBC belt. He can earn money elsewhere. I'm not sure that at this point in time Canelo still the moneymaker he used to be. Such coward move inevitably leads to the loss of popularity. And he never had Mayweather notoriety such that ppl would tune in just to see him lose. They will just stop caring about his fights.

                    yeah, said it before only reason they want him to go up in weight is so he fights people who arent his size and his more of a chance of losing. It wont end if he goes up to 168, they will demand he go up to 175. Ive genuinely seen posters on here seriously saying hes got to fight the ward/kovalev winner at 175 to prove himself.

                      Making up lies.


                      Please tell me again how the winner of Golovkin-Brook leaves the ring a legend.
