There might be nothing more avoided in boxing than the acquisition of the title "boxing's most avoided fighter." It might not be rain on your wedding day, but it's still plenty ironic. Don't you think? Unbeaten middleweight titlist Gennady Golovkin has been wrestling with this very dilemma ever since exploding onto the radars of American boxing fans barely more than a year ago. Although fans have clearly taken to his "Jekyl and Hyde" persona -- grinning choir boy struggling endearingly to command a new language outside the ring, void-of-emotion assassin inside of it -- that additional bit of irony hasn't turned Golovkin into a desired opponent.
