Is it just trolls on here nowadays? Who cares and what does this expose? That Golovkin preferred fighting Jacobs to Chavez Jr? If I remember right they had the entire contract drawn up and Golovkin had it signed but Chavez walked away.
... Golovkin didn't "prefer" fighting Daniel Jacobs, though. He and his camp never mentioned Jacobs' name, the only time Tom Loeffler even started mentioning Jacobs name was when it was clear that Jacobs was going to be named mandatory, K2 openly tried to see if Billy Joe Saunders was available for short money, and the negotiations for the Jacobs fight to even happen took over 3 months (and likely would've been longer, were it not for the WBA setting the bid date).
The Top Rank situation was Chavez Jr wanting to see his deal end with Bob, simple as that;when that was dealt with Chavez Jr had his own promotional company, so there was nothing barring K2 from calling to see about the fight.
As things currently stand, Canelo Promotions/Golden Boy Promotions have cut a deal with Chavez Jr for the May PPV, with the real likelihood that Alvarez-ChavezJr is the fight for both PPV dates.
You add that Alvarez can then look to another catchweight fight against Miguel Cotto, or even Billy Joe Saunders, and Golovkin, in not taking the deal offered, likely has seen his window for the fight pushed back another year.
