I, of course, expect to be shot down on here because in BoxingScene land, we like to pretend that a whole bunch of fighters never ducked Golovkin but he ducked Ward.
But...just indulge me for a second.
Saunders - is on video admitting he was waiting for Golovkin to get old (it's the one where he calls GGG a p*ssy). He doesn't even try to lie about it.
In 2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - BJS he starts calling him out.
Canelo - drops his WBC belt to avoid the fight.
In 2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - Canelo finally seems ready to actually make the fight.
Cotto - wouldn't go anywhere near Golovkin, famously "ahhhhhh"ing when asked about fighting Golovkin, only then to correct himself and say "why not" when realising how bad it looked.
2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - Rumours start about Cotto being open to the fight.
Jacobs - asked for 18 months and life-changing money to make a Golovkin fight, until finally mandated to. Gets his money and takes the fight because he basically cannot not take the fight, he would be ruined.
2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - Danny is all over a re-match
Charlo - still boiling down to 154 and Golovkin isn't even on his radar.
2017 - Golovkin hits 35 and comes off 2 fights not at his best - Charlo is going to knock Golokin the **** out
