plus quit against hatton then lied and said he had a brain bleed but to bad his doc was interviewed and prove good tszyu is a quitting liar. 1 effing win zab judah. He could punch but he wasnt even close to great.
Tszyu was great..top of the elite in his prime. he didnt quit against hatton. he was drained and had nothing left. His trainer had alot to do with that fight ending. GG and Tszyu I see several similarities other than raw power.

It does kind of make you laugh though, that they say everyone is afraid to fight him. I would love to see Lara vs Andrade, with the winner move up to fight GGG.
Exactly. Why doesn't he have a rematch with Vanes who is desperate to get a good fight too ?

GGG is the man at 160 which is accepted by almost anybody, so Cotto fighting a guy stopped by GGG in fact constitutes ducking. Lara is nobody at 160. He hasn't even achieved much (at least formally) at 154, so he just not appealing enough opponent compared to even Geale or Murray. Beating Lara at 160 wouldn't add much to Golovkin's resume or to his pocket.
So Lara who is a waaaay better fighter and much more respected than everyone GGG has faced is not worth it.
Nice how convenient when the tables are turned.
Lara called out GGG yet his team was not intrested.
That's a duck no matter how you wanna slice it.
Let's not be hypocrites now.
So, if Mora calls GGG out and HBO declines, because Mora is a boring fighter, then GGG is a duck ? You make no sense at all. HBO wants GGG against opponents who will try to fight him, not run for 12 rounds or hang on him for 12 rounds.

It's the exact same criteria used around here to judge Floyd on Margarito, Paul Williams, Winky Wright and a few others people claimed he ducked, even though at that time he wasn't the one calling the shots, Arum was.

Y'all say Floyd is boring when he actually shuts his opponents down limiting them to doing nothing but yet somehow he is the one who is boring.....you want to talk about making no sense at all, how's that for not making any sense at all? (rhetorical)

i would not like to see floyd in this one. as
everyone else i would love to see him get
challenged, but not against a middle weight,
who will outweigh chim ome fight night by
15lbs minimum. floyd deserves better than
that.
there are match ups that aren't fair, this
is one of them.

1/3 of the poll participants think that Floyd would win. Seems like a pretty fair match up to me when odds are 2:1.
