By Dan Ambrose: Angel Garcia, the trainer/father for former WBC 140lb champion Danny Garcia, doesn’t see what the fuss is all about with U.S boxing fan’s interest in WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin. Angel thinks that only people at HBO know about Golovkin. American boxing fans don’t have any idea who Golovkin is, says Angel.
Angel basically sees Golovkin as an unproven fighter who hasn’t faced the guys necessary for there to be so much hype about him. Further, Angel thinks that Golovkin hasn’t done enough to rate a fight against WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto. He thinks that Golovkin needs to prove himself worthy of getting a fight against Cotto before getting a fight against him.

By Allan Fox: HBO analyst Max Kellerman says he’d like to see superstar Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) take a chance and fight WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) before he retires from the sport. Kellerman doesn’t like the idea of Mayweather fighting former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto on Showtime pay-per-view. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler is extremely pleased that IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) and his promoters at Golden Boy Promotions have elected to face him on October 17th on HBO pay-per-view. 
By Dan Ambrose: Oscar De La Hoya, the promoter for IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs), isn’t expecting his October 17th unification fight against WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) to bring in over 1 million pay-per-view buys on HBO PPV. De La Hoya feels that the fight isn’t big enough to bring in that many buys. 
By Dan Ambrose: The mega-fight between WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) and IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) is a done deal for October 17th at Madison Square Garden, in New York, according to Dan Rafael. 
By Dan Ambrose: WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez says Golovkin will be fighting in October against a soon to be announced opponent in the next two weeks.

By Dan Ambrose: Former IBF/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Marvin Hagler thinks Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26 KOs) should face WBA 160lb champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) next. Hagler sees Golovkin as an interesting opponent for Mayweather to fight. Mayweather is said to be fighting former IBF/WBC welterweight champion Andre Berto (30-3, 23 KOs) on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 
By Scott Gilfoid: If #1 WBO Billy Joe Saunders (21-0, 11 KOs) defeats WBO middleweight champion Andy Lee (34-2-1, 24 KOs) in their fight on September 19th, there’s a good chance that we won’t be seeing the 25-year-old Saunders facing WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin in a unification fight. 
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions are still trying to make a decision whether they should let their fighter IBF middleweight champion David Lemieux (34-2, 31 KOs) face WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) in a unification match this year.
