Very disappointed to learn it will be Osumanu Adama. He's a game fighter and will come to fight but is completely out of his league in this one. Is Golovkin really having this much trouble getting live opponents?

I think no one wants to fight Golovkin who has a chance to win a title from the other champions. They would rather take on Barker, Quill an and Martinez. Anyone that has faced GGG recently have had balls. Murray, Strum, and the rest are running scared and hoping GGG will show some weakness.
Adama :confused: Geale would have jumped at the chance
Who are the big fights out there for him? Martinez is recovering from injury and wants Cotto. Murray's team balked at the fight. Hearn won't put Barker in with him. Sturm has already avoided him. Quillin is on a rival network. Geale said no too. I mean literally the guy has no takers. Stevens called him out and he got the fight. It's not like he is avoiding anyone. He's in a tough spot. He hasn't cleaned up the division yet but not one will fight him. Where does he go?
Golovkin is FAR beyond hype now, he is the future of his division and that future is now. All the other titlists and contenders know that he'd punch them out so they will duck him as long as they can!
Canelo would be too shy to step up to him now, Floyd will never bulk up to anything GGG would accept and vice verse. Only thing left for him now is to step up to Andre Ward.
Many would disagree with me but I like Golovkin's chances here!
I would bet on ward to win pretty easily over golovkin... I like golovkin so it would be good if I was incorrect but I would say ward by wide decision
I admit Ward is the favourite here of course. I wouldn't put money on Golovkin either but I guess it's just wishful thinking... I can't stand Ward! lol
From what I've heard, Murray will be on the undercard in Monte Carlo with a view to fighting GGG next. Barker has a mandatory vs. Sturm this Saturday and both wouldn't be ready for February. If Sturm wins there is an immediate rematch clause in London too. I would imagine you're right as there is no need to put Barker in with GGG. He wouldn't win it. My thinking with Murray is he's waiting to see if Barker wins on Saturday. If he does, Barker & Murray will likely fight next year and Murray has to take it as it would be his biggest purse and if he wins it gives him a bargaining position for future fights. His biggest problem is he can't fight in the US due to his criminal past so is having to take smaller purses as a result. Murray went to Argentina & Germany for World title fights. He wouldn't run from GGG. If Barker loses on Saturday, I'd expect Murray will fight Golovkin next year.Quote:

GGG ducking the SMW division... why is he milking shit in a division filled with nobodies.
If he's not going to clamour for a QUillin fight, he has no business remaining at 160..
George Groves would fuck his shit up proper
Triple G needs to fight better opposition :-X
It's a little hard to fight better opposition when the champs of the division are guarding their belt.
They should be FORCED to fight him or hand over their belts!
Turtle face is overrated..trust meQuote:

But I've thought of Golovkin as living up to his hype... He really is good now!
Can Triple G beat these other top middleweights? Maybe. But until he starts he don't get no credit :rolleyes:
Fair call. I wish we could make small bets here! You give me your bank account first lol ;)
3G vs Martinez, Sturm/ Barker or Quillin. I hate the politics. If only I had a magic wand :poke:
pretty much all of the best middleweights already have fights scheduled. GGG is willing to fight anybody so im happy that he is at least staying active. its better than other fighters who sit back and wait for the lottery.
i think its unfair to say that he needs to go up to SMW. as far as i can tell, he is comfortably making MW and shouldnt have to go up a weight class just to get respect. there are decent fights for him at 160 if people would fight him.Quote:

GoĊowkin w lutym z Adamu, w kwietniu z Korobowem?
Why is Marquez ducking GGG at middleweight?Quote:

Lampley said, during the pre fight babble, that ggg is on the short list to fight Manny. He said it. Surprised me. Has Roach had two of his fighters face off in the recent past.
Sorry, now I remember it was prod they spoke ofQuote:

It's stupid, he's a small middle weight. He'd be giving a massive size advantage away moving up to SMW particularly against Ward. He shouldn't move anywhere and should just work his way up the other rankings to become mandatory for other titlesQuote:
