That is chronically misleading and frankly a bit of a soft attempt at a straw man argument. Actions speak louder than words Not openly saying anything during Golovkins rise by the pretenders is worse than saying something. Any of these other guys ever call the guy out?? When they were asked and actually gave a repose, it was either I leave that to Al Haymon or a lame attempt at condescension. Shit even Martinez ducked him which I partly understood at the time with Sergio being so close to retirement and having never got the major money fight himself. During this same time Kid Ovaltine would almost wet himself when the Kazaks name was mentioned. He ended up dropping his belt rather then unify because he had “bigger plans” only to fight the guy he dropped the belt for rather then fight who was Andy Lee and he couldn’t make weight. He then got blasted out by Jacobs who also incidentally passed on an opportunity for a unification fight with Golovkin in slippery ways. Cotto wanted nothing to do with him.And btw why should Golovkin be obligated to make these frauds offers? He's the real champ who is about to surpass Hopkins in defenses in half the time. He's the recognized real champion in the real world regardless of the perpetrators of the fraud like the Ring listing first Cotto now Alvarez ahead. That in and of itself speaks volumes concerning mediocrity being the new normal. I'm sure Lee's people were not calling Golovkin and the new trinket champ in Saunders has admitted credit to him that he's not in the same league. The only other trinket holder that had the nut sack to fight this guy was David Lemieux and he did so 4 months after winning the thing.
Now, rumours are starting to circulate that after the Alvarez/Khan fraud, Alvarez will be matched against Lemieux and Quillins name has also popped up. Does anyone actually believe that Alvarez is not ducking Golovkin? The entire division has been ducking the guy for 5 years and he's cleaned it out of all the contenders while waiting for all the fakes to shit or get off the pot.
Again skewing the facts. Andre Ward won a botched tournament more than 5 years ago and he ran out of opponents or big fights at 168. So instead of moving up to fight the likes of Kovalev or Stevenson at the time which was 2011 he starched out Chad Dawson who was 175 for close to a decade and then started his self imposed, delusional work to rule antics coming up with ridiculous suits against Goossen who got him everything. Yet after winning the tourney he said he's most likely going to 175. Shortly after that Stevenson and Kovalev arrived and he went on strike. While on strike and playing the victim card he started calling out Golovkin. Why would he start calling out Golovkin? Is it because Golovkin made a comment which was silly that he'd go from 154 to 175? Can you blame the guy for saying that after being ducked and ignored since he won the title? He most likely would have added a Siberian tiger to the list. Why was Ward claiming he'd go to 160 to fight Floyd? If Golovkin was American would this debate even be happening?
Reality does not make distinctions for individual perception. The facts speak for themselves. We'd be photographs on cement if not for gravity and the same applies here. It makes little difference to the truth on how many times its misrepresented.
