Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
Is Gennady Golovkin the real deal? Thus far, Golovkin's professional accomplishments have been limited. However, that is not entirely his fault, as Proksa is the only top ten middleweight to have the guts to step in the ring with him. Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam, Felix Sturm, and now Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin have refused to face him. Basically, their point is risk/reward. He's the riskiest fighter at middleweight, and he is relatively unknown among casual fans. What should Golovkin do? How can he gain exposure if he can't land a fight with a known commodity? The only available, and worthy, option might be Dmitry Pirog, if he is not injured or retired.

Yes he is a quality fighter the title he has he can earn some money but think he has to take a chance and take the low end of a purse to fight a Martinez to get the break he needs.
Re: Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
He's certainly one of them
Re: Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
I think in this day and age, if you're one of these avoided fighters you REALLY have to run your mouth and make noise. Make the public notice you. In our modern world of social media, it's much easier than it used to be.
I know a lot of guys don't have it in their personality, but if you don't make yourself known and you're a guy who can fight like Gennady, you're going to be waiting a LONG time for a shot.
Re: Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
From what I read in fightnews Golovkin was/is mandatory for Daniel Geale,but Geale was allowed to do an inbetween fight with Mundine...
Re: Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
Golovkin is a danger man, I feel not many fancy facing him,! he can box and he has KO power to burn,
so is he a complete fighter I think so.:)

So, the winner of the Mundine/Geale must face Golovkin? That's a solid fight. Hopefully, HBO/Showtime picks it up.
Re: Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
I'd say eyebrow raised but not avoided. Get in the way, then be avoided. I don't know about most but frankly he's new to me. Like his approach, confidence and compact punching but it is in fact his case to make when it comes to exposure. Keep busy, capatalize off mainstream view last out but don't start reading the press clippings. And slip left hooks! At this stage he is indeed a risk-reward ratio but cannot say at all that a Quillin for one lacks 'guts' and is losing sleep about him just yet. Not yet. Last out he was arguably stealing the show on a quadrupel Show card himself.

With respect to Sturm and N'Jikam, there is no doubt that Golovkin was avoided. If the winner of Geale/Mundine is ordered to face Golovkin, the winner should face Quillin.

Re: Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
I'd say John Molina (154 lb.) and Erislandy lara belong on this list.

Has anyone ducked Molina? I'm not sure that is the case yet. Vanes stepped up against Lara so same there, right? Paul Williams also got in the ring with him.
Re: Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
imo golovkin has a nice record mostly kos and a awesome amature backround im sure most Champs feel they worked too hard to give him a shot at everything that from 1 tv apperance. Golovkin will get a real shot as a mandatory lol BUT i would love to see him fight all top guys in a fantasy world.

Geale will be stripped of one of his belts if he doesn't face Golovkin: Daniel Geale To Be Stripped if He Doesn't Face Golovkin - Boxing News
That makes four current or former champions that for whatever reason have opted to not fight Golovkin: Kid Choc, Sturm, Geale, and N'Jikam.

Re: Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
Golovkin must be a bit upset to win a title like this. If I was him I would say I will fight with Geale once he has finished with Mundine.

I'm pretty sure the issue was never whether Golovkin would fight Geale; the issue was whether Geale was going to fight Golovkin. In his defense, he was the mandatory for Sturm for years.

Re: Gennady Golovkin - Is He Currently the Most Avoided Fighter in Boxing?
I really like GGG, he's calm collected and my god he's got a stiff jab. One thing though, the dude does get hit on the chin bit more than I'd like to see.

Molina wants a shot at Golovkin
Quote:
The world’s “Uncrowned” #1 154-lb contender “King” Carlos Molina (20-5-2, 6 KOs) is offering help to WBA middleweight champion
Gennady Golovkin with his quest to find an opponent.
Golovkin’s trainer, Abel Sanchez, was recently quoted as claiming that no one wants to face his fighter, and so far no opponent for Golovkin has been announced.
“I will!” said the eager Molina. “We can do it at 154 or at any weight between 154 AND 160 lbs. It doesn’t matter to me. If you want a top opponent to face, here I am. Let’s do this.”
Russia’s Golovkin (24-0, 21 KOs) is scheduled for a January 19 HBO appearance in New York, and Sanchez went so far as claiming Edwin Rodriguez turned down a half million dollars for the fight.
Despite the five losses on his ledger, Molina truly is the uncrowned number one contender. His 20-5-2 record includes draws with Erislandy Lara and Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., both fights most people thought he clearly won. His disqualification against Kirkland was one of boxing’s truly low moments, and he also ended up on the wrong end of several other bad split-decision losses early in his career.
In fact, it is Molina who is the fighter truly willing to fight anyone between 147 and 160 lbs.
“I got you Gennady. Bring your half a million and your boxing gloves and let’s fight. I’m not busy January 19 and I’d love to be world middleweight champion. Call my people and let’s make a deal.”

Frankly, he's as good as opponent as the guys as Gennady might get right now.
You know who makes sense for Gennady given the reluctance to face him? Kelly Pavlik. We already know that Andre Ward will disect and destroy Pavlik. It's a waste of a fight. Pavlik would be Gennady's toughest opponent yet. He's a big scalp for Gennady.
