    Not sure what you're talking about...

    More like 85% of boxing would like a shot at one of the only PPV stars left, because Pac and Floyd are now selling less than Canelo.

    Why doesn't GGG move up or down in weight for a big fight? Why doesn't he try to make a fight happen against top talent like Lara who called him out?

    Why is GGG wasting his career fighting no hopers when he could easily add or lose a few pounds to put his money where his mouth is..

    I used to like GGG, but I'm starting to realize he's all :blabla

    The only reason anyone even talk about GGG these days is THANKS to Canelo, who has fought Lara, Trout, Angulo, Kirkland, Mayweather, Cotto... The man is paying his dues and if anyone deserves a soft touch its Canelo, not GGG who fights ONLY soft touches. :deal

    Lara who was almost knockout by C level Angulo ?

    Has Lara's team ever contacted GGG's team asking for a fight because according to GGG manager they haven't.


    Anybody with common since knows if Lara really wanted the fight he would move up to 160 and make himself relevant in the rankings instead he only calls out GGG when GGG already has a fight siqned it's called promoting off of someone else's name similar to what Mayweather did recently with GGG




    Canelo is a natural 160 pounder just like Ward is a natural 175 pounder

    Canelo got BEAT by Lara & Trout struggled with Cotto even.
    GGG-Canelo would be just a formality Gennady would destroy & pluck the chicken

    You could make a case Canelo lost to Trout, Lara, and Mayweather.


    He also had fits with Ricky Hattons little brother I remember lol

    You Golovstans are something else... do you realize that?

    GGG needs a name on his resume, Lara cast the line, GGG and his team should be confident and business saavy and should have bitten...

    Canelo told GGG the fight will be made at 155, GGG needs a big name on his resume, GGG should have called his bluff, not sure what the hell K2 and GGG are thinking.. Probably lack confidence.

    Ward was willing to meet GGG in the middle at 168 considering that YOU said Ward is 175.. GGG needs a name on his resume, he should accepted moving up.. Not sure why GGG's fans have so much confidence in him, yet K2 and GGG himself shows they are weary about moving from his safe haven 160.

    Everyone was talking about GGG way before a possible Canelo fight.

    You can make a case, sure, you can also make a case that GGG stays at 160 because he is afraid of moving up or down to face real opposition. :deal

    Did you complain when Bernard fought over a decade at middleweight 20 plus title defenses against a lot of bums ?



    GGG is a natural 160 pounder at only 5'9-5'10
    No need to move up just like there's no need for Crawford to move up to 154 because he's not a 154 pounder

    All 97K PPV buyers? :lol:

    GGG had a good thing going going into the Rubio fight, and following the Rubio fight...

    His unwillingness to compromise has resulted in his stock plummeting, and NOW the only reason he is talked about is because Canelo holds the WBC joke Strap..

    I mean seriously, WHOTF would talk about GGG vs Wade if not for Canelo holding that pathetic belt Golovstans love so much.

    I think GGG and his camp are milking Canelo's name to keep GGG relevant in the media.

    :patsch WTF?

    I'm not complaining about GGG staying at 160, thats his choice.. My annoyance stems from GGG, and his fans complaining about not having anyone to fight when they clearly have options... They may not be the perfect options for GGG, but even Hopkins moved down in weight for a big fight... Oscar, , Pacquiao, Leonard, Hearns, Chavez, Whitaker, Duran, Jones, Hopkins, Robinson, and many TRUE warriors compromised weight to make fights happen. Why cant GGG do the same?

    At the end of the day, he can act like a little diva and refuse to compromise like the true greats, or he can challenege himself and lose or add a few pounds and prove his name belongs with the above mentioned.

    I don't care about the PPV numbers. GGG is the man everyone are talking about in the middleweight division.

    It's a ridiculous ultimatum - 155lb or no fight in a 160lb division. If he don't wanna fight with 160lb weight limit, then he should get the **** off and fight in the SWW division again.

    Unfortunately for the MW, no many people talk about it..

    I bet you 99.9% of consumers could not tell you who the top 5 MWs are. :deal

    Canelo has paid more dues than GGG. I don't like catchweights most of the time, and I personally do not like this 155 thing Cotto or whoever started with the WBC joke starp, but the reality is that GGG NEEDS a big name opponent and he's already F-ed up a minimum of twice in making a big fight happen, and its all because he doesn't want to move away from 160.

    GGG may retire as one of the longest reigning champions with one of the most pathetic resumes.

    Canelo chasing down Mathew Hatton was comical.
