He's one of the few middleweights taking the fight against Golovkin. His team could have said, hey, we aren't ready for GGG. But he took the fight. So props to him. I fully expect Wade to lose. However, the fight can become interesting IF: Wade trains like he never has before. Its his one shot at the limelight. AND Golovkin struggles to get motivated. Is disappointed with his recent PPV flop. Maybe some inner conflict with K2 and Loeffler. GGG goes into the fight thinking meh another scrub. In this case it becomes an interesting fight. However, even IF Wade brings all he's got....BUT GGG comes in ready to kick some butt: result is a 4rd round KO
This guy barely got by a 45 year old Soliman he's done nothing to get this title shot absolutely nothing. He doesn't deserve credit. You GGG fans have no shame and will say anything to protect your God. I guess Monroe Jr didn't get enough credit either? What about Stevens? What about Ishida? What about Adama? This thread is embarrassing and not needed.
Two champs FAILED to make a unification fight A MANDATORY got injured Wade was next in line. Blame the IBF.
If Wade fights the fight of his life and GGG doesn't train then MAYBE Wade will lose by UD instead of TKO.
This is exactly what I'm thinking. GGG should take this fight to UD. Let the questions linger "is he slowing down" "he couldn't put down Wade"
Blame GGG when is he going to say enough is enough and take on someone worthy? **** the belts they mean nothing look at the fighters with the exception of Canelo who were holding them. He should have said ok Canelo I'll meet you at your weight he should have said ok Ward I'll fight you at 168. Hell even fight Degale at 168 or even Lara at 160 all of these would be better than anyone he's fought in his career but all he keeps doing is smiling and going along like a Goodboy. I'm sorry this isn't enough for a guy who's 34 stop acting like he's 24. The GGG apologist have no shame and accept things from him that they would crucify other fighters for doing and can't ever keep it real, that's my biggest problem with them.
Bunch of props but let's be honest. If Wade was in BJS or Canelo's position, he'd be avoiding GGG too. Only reason he's taking it is cuz he has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Wade, perhaps, deserves credit for backing himself and taking the fight. But that's it. He's done nothing to be in position to be in a title fight. That's not his fault though. The phrasing makes it sound like GGG should get credit when he beats him. Now, he basically has to fight him, so fine. The IBF should be criticised. Both fighters come out neutral in this silly charade.
Did you not read Saunders' tweet? He called out GGG! ...right after the fight against Wade was announced.
Who's to say Wade doesn't have an ATG great chin and could take GGG into deep waters, Soliman outhustled him, that's all, Soliman also outhustled Sturm and was beating Taylor before his knee gave out, Sam is tricky and awkward as hell for seasoned fighters, much less young inexperienced ones. That being said GGG KO2
Actually, naw. The way it's going he's not gonna get the megafights, so in order to be remembered, he'll have to be that MW with a ****tonne of defences and consecutive KOs.
I don't think he deserves credit just for taking the fight. He just doesn't deserve criticism like the duckers do.
