    Andre Dirrell calls out Golovkin and Froch

    If he can get back to form, I think he can be victorious against them both. If not, then he will more than likely get hurt by Golovkin. Hope these fights get made. Would love to see him back near the top of the division.
    Which division? Govolkin is a Mw froch is a SMW.
    Dirrell says that GGG would have to come up to 168.

    See... there's that delusional Dirrell family sense of self importance. GGG is the draw, he'll be the one dictating the terms of the fight.

    If Dirrell wants to be in charge of something to do with a Golovkin fight, he can book himself a bed in a nearby hospital. He's going to need it. GGG will destroy him.

    What has Andre Dirrell done lately to deserve this fight?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Unfortunately for Dirrell, he set himself back with his time away from the ring. Froch and GGG have big fights ahead of them so it makes no sense for them to take a risky fight for less coin. Dirrell needs to re-establish himself before those fights make sense.

    To say nothing of what the inactivity may have eroded

    Yes of course Andre the unbeaten MW champion moves up in weight to fight a guy who lost his last fight .
    Sounds like a plan dickhead.

    What big fights? You mean like Adamu and then Korobov in April, those big fights? The list of quality fighters calling GGG out is getting rather long, he has to fight one of them eventually. Dirrell wouldn't be a bad choice to start.

    Dirrel is a has been in another weight division. Why would GGG move UP in weight to fight him? Makes no sense.

    Because he has faught literally not one elite fighter. Some say Stevens is his best opponent, well he lost to a middling on the frickin contender. Some say Rosado is his best opponent, well he's a middle of the pack Jr. MW! Froch, Dirrell, Ward, Hop, Adonis and probably more have called him out. Why is he fighting Adamu? Why is Korobov being eyed for April? Did you know who these guys even were without looking them up? I don't feel stupid at all saying I had no clue who these guys were until they were lined up for GGG.

    Who do you expect him to fight? I'm just curious because it seems to me that everyone at 160 is avoiding him. Sturm dodged him for years. Geale avoided him. Quillin is on another network and he's facing Danny Jacobs so it looks like he isn't ready for him. Martinez's promoter has outright said that he wouldn't put Martinez in the ring with him for his first fight back and wants Martinez against Cotto. Murray opted to not fight him on that February date in Monaco and is fighting a stay-busy fight himself. Stevens called him out and GGG fought him. Is there anyone else that merits a fight with GGG at 160? Or do you expect him to move up? Even if he moved up, why would he fight Dirrell and not Froch or Ward for more money?

    I don't mean to come off like a hater of GGG, if fact I said nearly 3 years ago by eyeball test I thought he was going to be THE BEST MW in the world. But eventually you have to prove it. Everyone makes excuses for GGG, so and so won't and so and so won't, who cares take on those that will. He's what 32, and he has yet to fight even one elite fighter. I expect and endless stream of excuses in reply

    Not a bad take, but does Dirrell really bring much to the table at present, is he even an elite guy anymore? Golovkin probably wouldn't make any more for that fight than he will against the couple of guys he's lined up to fight, he'd be a lot wiser to hold out for other bigger names unless Dirrell actually has a relevant fight in the meantime.

    Understand I'm not trying to be a dick here when I say, you realize that's an excuse right?

    I get that it's business but people call out Floyd for his opponents, people call out Canelo for his opponents, hell I'll even throw out that bum Julio Cesar Chavez Jr gets called out for being coddled. I could go on and on listing people who get called out for their opponents, but the difference is they've fought SOME top guys. When you don't do something it's on you. We need to stop excusing this guy. I want him to do well so I won't be wrong. But this Adamu fight is a joke and looking to line up Korobov next is just too much if it's true.

    This list of quality fighters calling golovkin out, does it contain any actual middleweights

    Seriously? Who else is calling GGG out? Not that I think he should venture up in weight because he hasn't cleaned out the division, but GGG could fight Ward or Froch at 168 for a lot more money than a fight with Dirrell would earn him.
