I've never seen such blatant avoidance of other top fighters by a "top guy". Outside of a heavily flawed Lemieux, team Grovelkin has been extremely selective of his opposition. He has repeatedly refused to fight opponents that can actually skillfully box him, like Erislandy Lara. He instead faced a "slick fighter" when he took on C level green Willie Monroe Jr. He has balked at 10 million to fight boxings biggest star Canelo in a mega fight. His team made unreasonable financial demands and will fail to make the Jacobs fight. But they will fight a WW in Kell Brook, they fight D Wade on house arrest. Complete mismatches simply made to run up the manufactured KO streak. They will fight an overhyped flawed bum in Eubank Jr. I can't think of a more pathetic string of opponents by an alleged "top guy" than what Triple G gave us this year. All the while, his team has scampered away from Lara with their tail tucked between their legs, shamelessy lowballed Jacobs and have turned away an 8 figure payday to face the star of the sport. When you compare him to the other p4p fighters, his lack of courage is quickly evident. Ward is facing Kovalev, Garcia is facing Thurman, Lomachencko is fighting Walters. You are seeing the best start to fight each other. Count Golovkin out though. He is making "business" decisions.

He ducked Lara hard.
He really wanted to fight the other champs at 160 but they didn't want none so you can't really blame him for that.
Lara seems to give him nightmares though.Comment

Floyd in recent years fought Pacquiao, Cotto and Canelo. Golovkin has fought Lemieux. Middleweight greats ran to challenges, not from them.Originally posted by Mr. Objectivity View PostComment

Golovkin is trying to fight canelo, jacobs but they fear GGGComment

Floyd was past his prime and still fighting this high caliber of opposition. I assume you know he fought Coralles & Castillo in his prime. Sure Floyd had some cherries along the way but Triple G fights cherries every time out. He fought Lemieux and realized he needed to be ultra conservative with his opponent selection after that. Both camps for Canelo & Jacobs have presented terms Golovkin has turned down. This team Triple G is becoming known for difficult negotiations when it comes to fighting another top opponent. They have their list of opponents they want to fight. They want to keep the KO streak going with the lower tier guys.Originally posted by Mr. Objectivity View PostComment
