why doesnt martinez have to fight golovkin?

[Spray_resistant]

He should have to GGG is the highest rated contender at 160, Cotto is a tuneup that will pay Sergio well but Rubio? just let them strip you of your WBC strap its worthless as Sergio is the real champ belt or no belt and GGG should get his shot.

[Mr Randy Watson]

If mayweather, ward, danny garcia, pacquiao or wlad had a golovkin fighting in their divisions they would HAVE to fight him. Lou dibella has been brushing off a golovkin fight. The cotto fight is a circus money grab. Cotto does not belong at 154 let alone anywhere higher.

Sergio is considered the lineal champ isn't he? Why wouldn't golvkin want to fight him?

[icha]

Because Cotto is a money fight, that's understandable.
He has his mando with Rubio after that...then 1 more fight on HBO.
Boom... if he retires or just doesn't fight Golovkin, there you have it

he hasnt fight a mando since he got the belt....

[Hougigo]

he hasnt fight a mando since he got the belt....

He won it last year from Chavez, multiple injuries and now Rubio trying to enforce his mandatory status.
Murray was a voluntary coming back from an injury

not really. he was but he forfeited that title because he won't fight the #1 guy. so once you win the lineage you can just fight bums forever? not in my world. same way those frauds like Floyd, baldomir, Judah, and spinks didn't want to fight margarito. Sergio had his chance to fight golovking but he fought murray, now he's fighting cotto and his promoter even says he won't fight golovking. he forfeited. a forfeit is the same as a loss. new lineage has to be made.

Stevens was ranked in the top 10 in fact he's still there, currently #10 despite losing to GGG.

Chavez jr was Sergio's money fight. No one gave jr a chance. I'm tired of these excuses. oH he needs a tune up. Oh he wants a money fight. gtfo out with this ****. Always an excuse. Now here is Cotto who is both a money fight and a tune up lmao

Stevens is a bum, boxrec has him at #21. If he was even remotely close to the top 10 when Golovkin fought him it was because they wanted to save face and someone paid a ranking body off. He can ask Kirkland to move up and fight him....that's what he is going to do anyway, that or fight Vera.

Geale wants to fight him, Mora wants to fight him, Lee wants to fight him but he wants nothing to do with them.

The only one I agree with is mora. Would love to see that fight and don't know why they didn't pick him for Monaco. Geared though, didn't look like it would've ever happened, at least while he was wearing the belt. Never heard anything about lee.... Haven't heard much since his loss to junior

You can quit pretending that's not a laughable ranking. should be cited for the consensus view now.

No one gave jr a chance.

The forum poll and say differently.

it's ironic that martinez is against bullying but constantly calling out smaller guys to fight him
