[therealpugilist]

that's all you have to say?

Edit: and he fought for that belt vs dulorme, fucking dulorme, who got KTFO by abregu a guy with zero defense and a chin that can match khan's

as long as he fought for the belt, it would have been better than him waking up to it around his waist

if you don't get this point....move on

[GGG Gloveking]

boxing is a business, if you believe every decent fighter from 154-168 is ducking this guy you are absolutely ******ed


MFer can fight a welterweight but cant find a decent middleweight to fight


you dudes are gullible.....K2 is milking the cow because they know he has fans like you that will watch him fight even if its Mickey Mouse just to see a ko. They'll come out of pocket and take a risk when its demanded or trying to cash out


not all fans feel the same way. most fans like competitive fights and K2 doesn't seem willing to come out of pocket unless its a fighter they are sure GGG can beat then all the decent ones supposedly "priced themselves out"



its been 3 years....hbo debut....if you think he has been ducked that long and avoided you need a reality check

First off dude, you don't need to be calling me ******ed. If you want to be respected, you have to give respect. Ive never insulted you and would appreciate the same courtesy. So you can save all that "******ed" "gullible" sh it for someone else.

Secondly, Golovkin had found a MW to fight. Unfortunately, said MW couldn't find an ink pen to sign the contract, so Hearn, not Golovkin, found a replacement fighter willing to fight. I guess youd have rather seen him wait than to fight.

Thirdly, I don't need a reality check. I watched him get ducked, basically on live TV. That red headed Mexican called him into the ring and ran his little mouth only to drop his belt days later.

Lastly, who is this decent MW you want to see Golovkin fight? Guys like you contradict yourself calling him "Mr 97k", then demanding he shell out all this money for dudes like Saunders. What the hell makes him worth $3M or more? The only way that happens is if Golovkin fights in the UK and builds some rep up over there. Oh wait, he did that and you want to complain. But please, tell me who this Mw is that you want to see him fight.

I never called him mr. 97k

why are grown man defending this guy like he is butt ****ing you all


dude is unproven....deal with it


good fight....resume is azz.....his die hard fans are ******ed and hate facts

get over it

I don't recall insulting you directly, get out of your feelings

I want to see him fight any top 5 middleweight.....anybody, I don't care. Better than having to hear you fools make excuses why he is fighting guys on house arrest, welterweights, never wases and fringe contenders.

Opinions are one thing, insults are another. I dont really care if you want to call him names, but you're calling me ******ed, gullible, and now gay and I dont appreciate that sh it. I never disrespected you. You disrespected me. That sh it isn't cool

I apologize, but I don't recall directly calling you gay, gullible or ******ed. Either it doesn't change how I feel about GGG or his die hard fanatics

you can be a fan and still have criticisms on an athlete

Thank you, I accept your apology. I just ask that you reread the first sentence of the first post where you said "if you think every fighter is ducking him...then you're absolutely ******ed", and understand how I took that as an insult and why I got salty over it. I apologize for saying fuŠk you. I want Golovkin to move up in due time. I want Saunders to quit hiding and fight. I think it's only fair that GGG be allowed to unify.

I would have loved to seen a fight with Eubank, but it didnt work out that way. I understand why he took the Brook fight. He's 'chasing' Saunders and it makes sense to fight in the UK, giving Golovkin exposure there and showing Saunders that there is money to be made. It's the same logic behind why GGG fought Rubio to get the WBC interim title. It was a chess move.

Why don't you give us a list of all the p4p #3's & we can compare?

[1g5a22]

Sergio Martinez - WBO (2010),WBC (2010) (2012-2014)

Golovkin had been calling out Sergio Martinez since he made his american Debut on HBO, Martinez never EVER responded and faced inferior opponents eventually losing his titles in 2014 after selling his claim to 160 to CW Cotto.

Miguel Cotto - WBC (2014-2015)

Golovkin Called out Cotto instantly when he won his world title in 2014, Golovkin was the mandatory challenger to Cotto yet Cotto chose to fight Geale AND Canelo. When asked about Golovkin in post fight press conference he didn't know what to say making facial expressions indicating that he does not want the fight.

Peter Quillin - WBO (2012-2014)

When Quillin was the middleweight champion K2 promotions made him an offer (As stated by Tom Loefler) to face Gennady in the states yet Quillin never responded, later in 2015 in an interview Quillin stated he wants $5-10m in order to face Gennady pricing himself out of the fight.

Canelo Alvarez - WBC (2015)

After Canelo won the WBC title from Cotto he was obliged to fight his Mando Gennady Golovkin, Canelo insisted Golovkin should come down to 155 or there is no fight. In order for Golovkin not to lose the super fight he accepted that Canelo should take one more fight before facing him in order for the negotiations to be more fair in september (Make the Fight at 158-160). This move was criticized and will remain in history as a duck EVEN if Canelo eventually fights Golovkin, a true champion would have fought at 160.


Billy Joe Saunders - WBO (2015)

BJS won his major title beating Andy lee, and has stated in MANY interviews that he doesnt intend to fight Golovkin EXCEPT if TeamGGG offers a ridiculous amount of money, which he doesnt deserve. Golovkin offered him $3.2m to fight yet he asked for more money to make the fight happen, thus officially ducking him by pricing himself out (Even if the fight does happen, the amount of money needed to make it would be immense, meaning that if Team Golovkin did not have the money it would be a duck) & again he recently called GGG out knowing he is currently mandated to Jacobs!

Explain to us OP how any of this is Golovkins fault? You seem intent on verbally punishing GGG on an internet forum yet never acknowledge the massive failings of other fighters towards him! Golovkin is likely to face Jacobs next who is the #2 Ring MW in the world, having already beaten the current #4 Ring MW in Lemieux. Apart from BJS he will have essentially cleaned out 160..
