Call DLH and ask why he is keeping Canelo and Lemieux away from GGG.

Exactly. Promoters/managers/advisers keep their best investment from being humiliated by GGG.

So, Chavez can fight Vera or Fonfara, and Golovkin can't fight Monroe who schooled Vera ? Monroe's only loss was against the guy who KO'ed Stevenson, drawed with Kovalev and dropped Ward.

ask ggg's peops why he's scared to fight the big boys at 168 instead of these clowns.
u say floyd is scared cuz he won't fight GGG a middleweight even tho floyd turned pro at feather....pac moved up like 8 divisions, bhop is kicking ass from middle to light heavy, the most overrated fighter rjj won titles from middle to heavy but the greatest fighter to ever compete in a combat sport ggg cant move up or down for big fights. he just stays put and fights 6ko's monroe. u r drinking the kool aid dude. we all dog Broner, myself included but he didn't get his ass whipped til he moved up from jl to welterweight. Do u know why these guys move up in weight????? Fame, Fortune and Greatness.
U just keep watching that poo. I like GGG but I am not watching any more of his fights until he fights somebody worth watching.
So, you are finding explanations for everybody to not move up, just not for GGG. His team clearly said that he would move up for a good money fight like Chavez or Froch. What is a point of fighting bigger guys for the same money as he gets for fighting in HIS weight class like Hagler did. There are still idiots who think that Quillin/Cotto/Canelo/Lemieux/N'Dam/Lara can create problems for Golovkin, and he has a right to shut them up before moving up.

Cotto was offered a fight with GGG and opted out.
I believe Quillin was also offered a fight with GGG and opted out (no surprise here we're talking about a guy who vacated his belt out of fear of Mat Korobov)
It's not GGG ' S fault that guys are scared to fight him. He is being black balled cause he's seen as too high risk by other guys.
For the record, my predictions:
GGG KO 1 Peter Quillin
GGG KO 8 Miguel Cotto
GGG KO 5 David Lemieux
GGG KO 10 Canelo
Also, people need to understand GGG is a middleweight. He's not a super middleweight and he's not a light heavyweight. His goal should be to get all belts at 160.

I’m going to ask you one simple question, which you can either answer from a Golovkin fanatic perspective or as a seemingly-experienced boxing observer.
With the exception of Al Haymon affiliated fighters that cannot face any HBO boxer, can you put your hand on your heart and lay claim to say the HBO & K2 have both done their upmost to fund big fights for Golovkin, considering the paydays that GGG & his opponents currently receive?
At what point do you draw the line and say enough is enough? Does he get a free pass for the rest of his life? He's been with HBO since 2012!
Just to be clear, I’m not questioning GGG’s talent, but almost three years’ worth of excuses from his managers and promoters is beginning to bore me senseless. There is no evidence whatsoever to lay claim that Gennady’s handlers are actively and seriously trying to orchestrate big fights for their charge. And I mean none, zilch, zero, zippo, nil, nada!
Any attempts that I have seen, have been seemingly half-hearted, as they tend to come with additional conditions to try to trap Gennady's opponents to contract extensions etc.
Golovkin would be a B side against Chavez, Froch, Canelo, Cotto, so it is those guys' promoters who are responsible for finding money.

I am a GGG fan but you are actually right here.. I mean Keith Thurman just earned 1,5 m Fighting Guerrerro and he has way less Bouts on Prime Time than Golovkin..
You are wrong bout this fight though.. Golovkin had no available opponents, not even at 168 if u wanna talk about him moving up.

Yeah, but at least Wilder finally stepped up in comp vs Stiverne in his last bout, so he's moving in the right direction. I really dont think Monroe is as good as Martin Murray, so it does seem like a step down for GGG, when he should be moving in the other direction.
I don't see the problem with it given who was available (i.e. arguably no one better than Monroe) and step-downs are bound to happen when a champion is this active. The bout will be his
second in under three months, so it's not as if he's sitting dormant for long periods only to fight this type of opponent, and he'll have time for another fight later in the year or maybe even two at his pace.

and with the statemant you made about korobov not having power or losing, than it shows me you realy dont get the point.
everybody loses!! also, korobov is a strong build 14 ko in 24 fights guy, has okay power and only lost 1 time against an champion. monroe in the opposite is a c level guy with no power who has 0 business in the ring with ggg. i would not even let him in the ring against ndam.
Korobov got knocked out in his last fight, which was also on HBO, and I think he needs to reestablish himself to have a case for being a better challenger than Monroe. Monroe has a lot to prove but he's young, on a solid winning streak, and in my opinion good enough to be fighting GGG given the circumstances. I don't see him being depicted as an excellent fighter who has a great chance of beating GGG, and people can easily put Monroe's name into Google, look at his record, and watch his fights online to draw their own conclusions about the bout.
Nothing would be a greater waste of time for GGG's career than not fighting.
i dont believe in staying active with boxing garbage, people pay money to watch a fight and not a total mismatch....
i believe in training and staying in shape and than boxing fights
but you are not a boxer so not for yuo to say really

Monroe is fast & mobile and it will be interesting too see how GGG deals with that but obviously this is a disappointment but i'll be watching because i enjoy watching him perform, i just won't be excited at all.
I wouldn't have thought that Golovkin's team would have a problem fighting a SMW to keep busy while they wait for a meaningful MW fight. His last 2 opponents were SMW size even if Murray was able to make the MW limit.
Will someone list a few names at SMW that would have been available on this date, on HBO that would be seen as acceptable?
Perhaps they are being careful to avoid excuses from his 2 most lucrative opponents though. If GGG boxes above the MW limit jut once Canelo or Cotto (even though he's a belt holder) could say we aren't true MWs and GGG is a SMW now so we're not fighting him.

problem is, there is no SMW fight available wither with a good name. top 2 ward and froch got their issued, dirrel bros got fights, the germans stay in germany and bika gone to LHW
it was always going to be between WMJ and heiland and johnson
WMJ is ranked in a few sanctioning bodies, the best thing about this fight is it stops people like quillin and other MW's cherry picking later so they have no option but to fight GGG

Good one. If GGG defeats all second tier fighters, it will be hard for Quillin and other "champions" to explain why they are fighting people beaten by GGG instead of fighting GGG.
Fighting 4 times a year, Golovkin will not leave too many MWs unbeaten by him soon.

And still we have no real stepping up from the 32 plus year old GGG, he needs to move to 168 because he isn't fighting up to his full potential facing these virtual nobodies and we need to see him really tested. I think it'll be a decent fight at best but nothing in it unless he loses will prove to us anything that we don't already expect him being able to do.

Warriors boxing (funded by Al Haymon) outbid Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom when they submit a $3.1m purse bid to promote the Andre Dirrell vs. James DeGale fight, which will be staged in America. That means that both pugilists will likely earn $1.55m each.
Gennady Golovkin’s biggest payday of his career was the $900K he earned to blitz Marco Antonio Rubio.
The biggest payday a GGG opponent has received was the $600K that Daniel Geale was paid, which is a paltry sum compared to the sums that most top names are earning.
Al Haymon is dipping his hand into his own pockets in order to orchestrate big fights for the men in his stable. That is an irrefutable fact!
For some reason, HBO & K2 don’t seem willing to make Golovkin the A-side fighter by investing in their charge to make the biggest fights happen. Their strategy of doing nothing and waiting for opportunities to come to them simply isn’t working, which is a waste of Golovkin’s talent… and the clock is ticking!
At the end of the day… and I keep saying this, boxers are known as “PRIZE” fighters, not “PRIDE” fighters, which means there’s no motivation for any half-decent names to fight the Kazakh unless they’re going to get paid to do so.
Eddie Hearn eloquently articulated the reason why elite-level fighters are refusing the face Golovkin:
“It’s all well and good the fans say make this fight, but it would be like me saying to you, ‘I’ve got this job for you, but you won’t get paid anywhere near what you should be, but everyone wants you to do it, so do it.’ You’d turn round and go ‘F*** off!’”
So it’s time for HBO & K2 to stop matching their man, who’ll be 33 years old in a few weeks, against mid-tier anonymous fighters and instead invest in their charge whilst he’s still performing at the highest level… and make the biggest fights happen!
K2 & HBO cannot continue to make excuses if they’re refusing to fund the biggest fights!
We don't know terms of agreement between HBO, K2 and Golovkin. When HBO (and previously K2) agreed to work with basically unknown Golovkin, he was ready to accept any terms. HBO makes its business decisions, and we don't know variables which participate in the equation. We don't know where Haymon gets money to pay millions for crappy fights. Maybe he and his partners are taking losses hoping to compensate them in future. Maybe HBO doesn't want to do that. Again, too many unknowns.
What Hearn, DLH and others are saying is just an excuse. They are able to find money to fund other fights, but for some reason they can't find money to fund Golovkin fight ? Maybe because they just don't want too see their best investment to be humiliated ?

K2 is a small promotional company owned by Klitchkos. That explains why it finds big money for Wlad's fights. Maybe they do that at the expense of Golovkin.

Is not that Monroe is a horrible opponent or a bad fighter.
It's that GGG is supposed to be one of the best in the world and we expect him to match himself against other bests in the world or at least opponents likely to present a problem.
Monroe is not that. He may be skilled (and the jury on that is out since Brian Vera on a 2 or 3 fight losing streak is not exactly a signature win) but there is little reason to believe he presents any problem at all for Gennady.
Lots of folks- myself include- have rightly badmouthed GGG's choices for months now, and while I like Monroe as an pretty solid journeyman this is just another bad choice.
As a matter of fact, in spite of the fact that there is plenty to complain about concerning GGG's past few opponents (excepting Murray IMO) how many of Gennady's past 8 or 9 also rans would be underdogs to Monroe?

Monroe is not a journeyman. He is now worse than Quillin's last 3 opponents. ... and by the way, GGG fought his last 3 opponents during a 7-month period while it took Quillin 2 years. It is impossible to find high quality opponents if you fight 4 times a year, especially when you are a killing machine.

Man people are so stupid.
Cotto is scared to get knocked out.
Andy Lee got paid off to fight Quillin.
Quillin is gonna be hidden from Golovkin until the end of his career. If Haymon was hiding him from Korobov, why would he put him in with GGG?
Daniel Jacobs is protected by Haymon.
Jermain Taylor is gonna be going from courtroom to courtroom in the next 10 years.
Lemieux is going to fight N'Jikam for the IBF title. A fight with GGG is possible in the near future though.
Canelo is fighting at 154 for now. They could fight at some point. Now this fight just doesn't make sense.
GGG is cleaning out the division and that's the right way to go if people don't want to fight you. He's gonna get the WBC belt either by Cotto vacating or fighting him (and getting ktfo'd). Then a unification with Lemieux/N'Jikam winner is possible. If he gets the third belt I can see the same thing happening as the Light Heavyweight division. Kovalev has 3 belts and the WBC Haymon fighter Stevenson is protected. Same thing would happen with Quillin, unless by some miracle Lee actually wins that fight.

I hate calling a 28 year old whose best opponent is Brian Vera coming off getting KTFO a "prospect".
We are going to have to agree to disagree there.
And that statement about Quillin's last three opponents is just flat out wrong. Konecny, Rosado, and Guerrero woulds all be pretty nice favorites over Monroe.
I'll say it one mo' 'gain. If you say you are having problems finding good fights in your own division AND you are on record as saying you can fight under and over your present weight...you should do THAT instead of fighting low caliber guys. One day, that may come back to bite Gennady in the arse.

Then he stops Monroe in round 10 instead of round 3 (see Ouma fight).
Guerrero who lost to Grady Brewer and has nobody better than Vera in the W column is better than Monroe ?
36-year old Konecny whose best win was over Khomitsky 5 years earlier is better than Monroe ?
Don't be ridiculous.
Rosado may be a little better in spite of his poor record, but it's hard to say, because Monroe is untested at the same level as Rosado. However, Rosado is the strongest level of opponent Quillin can afford, as Rosado almost kicked his a$$.
