GGG should be the biggest star in boxing right now, and I'm sure he'll get there at some point as he is undoubtedly boxing fans favourite fighter right now. But the mainstream sports fan won't know about him until he gets a premium opponent, and that won't happen because there is little reward to fighting him for Cotto or other top fighters in that weight range. At the moment Golovkin is not a big enough PPV star, so the risk of a highly probable loss is not worth the less than huge financial return for such a fight.
GGG will become unavoidable as a fighter when he becomes the biggest PPV star in the sport, and hopefully that is soon. In terms of all combat sports, there isn't a fighter with a more appealing style than Golovkin, he fights to hurt the opponent and win by KO, doesn't care for decisions and will fight absolutely anyone between 154 and 168. I think he's got a chance to go down as a much greater fighter than Mayweather or Pacquiao, assuming guys stop ducking him.
