Why does GGG keep calling out smaller fighters than him??

Please cite sources to these multiple "call outs."

Yes, he has said he wants Cotto because Cotto is the lineal MW champ and GGG is his mandatory.

When ASKED if he would fight Mayweather he said yes (duh). I have no real interest in seeing this happen but can't fault GGG for saying "sure" when someone asks him in an interview if he would. GGG would be fighting Floyd at a weight that Floyd is Super Champion at. I'm sure GGG knows there is little chance of this fight happening but he would be an idiot to say no. Plus dolts here would be making endless "GGG scared of TBE!!!" threads.

Canelo is basically a MW fighting Super Welterweights at catchweight. He's avoiding MW because there are good money fights below MW...and GGG rules MW.

All three are stars and would make GGG lots of money and increase his status greatly.

LOL at OP listing LHW Kovalev in the OP. As far as we know Ward is also a LHW now too.

 

Cotto is lineal champ in his weightclass. The "but he smaller" line is laughable. Any fighter within the weight range calls out Mayweather because he is the best payday in the sport. Canelo created the 157 pound weightclass to avoid getting up to MW ( where he belongs if he cannot make 154 anymore), calling him out is just fine.

Ward is semi retired and always wants to have every advantage imagineable, GGG management would be dumb as **** to go up a weightclass and fight him in his backyard for relatively small money as long as GGG has a US fanbase in several states and Europe, Ward doesn't bring him a better payday than Murray in Monaco (where he doesn't have to pay taxes on his sports related earnings).

Kovalev? Yeah surely. The fact that you have to bring up the best fighters in the 2 divisions above him just to see a chance that he gets beaten is a testament to how good he is

 

and eubank jr sitting right there in the division

 

I would imagine that fight happens by the end of 2016...if Eubank wants it.

 

The one who inevitably resorted to quick one-line responses with zero substance other than keyboard attacks is the one who was humiliated into a climbdown(whatever the hell that is, you do a great job with horrific grammar here). Didn't you say that GGG doesn't call out smaller fighters?, didn't I list you three call-outs with links(and one video) of him personally calling out smaller opponents?.

You don't represent GGG fans as a whole so you most certainly don't speak for them. I suggest you look into the majority of GGG fan's comments. If they weren't idiotic in general, he wouldn't be feasting on absolute hopeless bums and still get paid $1 million for it. Why?, because his idiotic fans tune in regardless and never question his opposition.

 

L's waiting for him at 68

 

Didn't Chavez just get KTFO?

 

Better question is why is Cotto fighting a guy GGG obliterated and at a catch weight :rofl

 

:deal

 

money

 

because he is scared of ward, its plain to see.... it would look like May/Pac...

 

he quit on the stool...

 

He's 33 so he's chasing the money. Unfortunately, Ward and Kovalev don't offer those types of paydays or will not accept until GGG is a bigger name.

 

Why does a p4p rated fighter fighting 2 weight classes above him keep calling him out? The answer=$ although whether he really wants to fight GGG remains to be seen.

I mean he apparently 'wanted' to fight Carl Froch in the UK but ended up fighting Paul Smith in Jokeland.

 

GGG shouldn't be thrilled with fighting Ward. A guy who was ranked #2 p4p in the world, who's bigger than Golovkin (fighting at 172 catchweight now?), requires the fight to be in his hometown, has no PPV draw, and requires Golovkin to fight a p4p beast in a higher weight class he's never fought before. Yeah, really weird he isn't rushing to make that happen.

Let me know when GGG snatches a SMW title and then avoids defending that title against Ward (well, if Ward can even make SMW anymore).
