    Excuses. GGG has made his intent clear - if you are in the way either man up or vacate but don't carry on like fishnets talking about greatness then ****tuck when it matters.

    Probably why he isn't crying as much as his fanboys.

    Probably because he can't make 155 without being drained and weakened come fight night. He's older than Canelo and won't be able to shed weight as easily. He may have done it for an uber payday vs Floyd, but nobody else is worth the effort.

    At least, that's how I read it.

    And his excuse for not moving up?

    Perfectly said....you summed it up best & with clarity. We have been weened over a period of time to accept catchweights. Shouldn't be allowed. It's a joke. Too bad it's the business of boxing now.
