    Golovkin is not a risk taker. Simple.

    I like the guy. Great power and IQ but the guy will not take risks man. Simple.

    "I will fight Floyd at 154" - But will not fight Canelo at 155. He will cut weight to fight the smaller guy he can bully, but not Canelo? Money cannot be an excuse anymore. Canelo is currently GGG's, if not boxing's, biggest draw.

    "I will fight Froch at 168" - But will not fight Ward at 168. He will move up to fight an active 38 year old, with not much skill, who announced his retirement this year. But will not fight the more skillful, quicker, smarter and younger Ward?

    You GGG fanatics need to be realists man. No doubt he is one of the best in the sport but he will not take risks.

      fighting floyd at 154 makes sense.

      career wise, and money wise.

      fighting ward at 168 makes NO SENSE.

      career or financial wise.

      GGG can beat floyd or froch. he's not ready yet for ward. I understand all the political maneuvers of all parties involved. From ward being scared ****less of sergei kovalev and waiting out a middleweight when he has already wiped out his career division while he has huge money and legacy fights awaiting him in his NEXT LOGICAL DIVISION (175 but fears the russian) to GGG knowing he will lose to Ward while waiting out cotto canelo....

      you'd have to be a ****** person not to get any of their career machinations like the TS.

        GGG is all about the money, despite what his stans might think.

          Health? That is the excuse now? What is the issue here? Golovkin said he can make 154. Healthily, we assume, otherwise he wouldn't say he could. His health is fine, don't be ******.

            Thats the whole point of the thread, he wants everyone to fight on his terms but doesn't want to take risks if it doesn't benefit him

              So what you are saying pretty much supports my point. He knows he can beat Froch and Floyd and is therefore willing to make weight. He knows he will struggle more against Canelo and Ward and doesn't want to make weight for them.

              FYI, Ward and The Krusher have signed a deal to fight fall next year. Ward doesn't care about Golovkin, he offered the fight and they said no.

                I wish Golovkin would step up and face guys like Paul Smith, Rohan Murdock, Zac Dunn, and Alexander Brand at LHW.

                  That's exactly how it is.

                    I agree about the point on Ward, but you're wrong about his position on canelo at 155. You don't jump at the first opportunity and give into the demand of a spoiled brat who fights within your division. Canelo fights at 155 because he needs to drain guys his own size to gain an advantage. Why exactly would you go to 155 when you're the interim champ, would receive 45% of the purse bid, and it would be at 160? People keep saying ggg needs to fight canelo, but he doesn't. Ggg and his team could humiliate him in the media if he chooses to drop the belt instead of fighting him by the rules like everyone else. That would be a big deal, too.
