    I can agree with this, especially given GGG's history of inconsistent statements regarding 154-168.

    A duck is a duck. He's avoiding Ward and CANELO. This guy really must be thick if he isn't ducking. 155 against Canelo who is the biggest cash cow he is going to get a chance to fight.

    love boxing

    love fighters who take challenges and fight for legacy and the fans

    not guys who hide in weak divisions beating up c level fighters

    imagine if miguel cotto stayed at 147 and fought gianluca branco 34 times....mixed in with otkay urkal and maybe josh clottey once....woohhoooo!

    Because maybe he wants to get some leeway when the actual negotiations start? They know nothing serious right now is taking place so they'll try to play tough, we'll see what happens when they are actually negotiating a fight though, it will probably be something like 157-158.

    Taking everything that fighters say as fact is silly as hell.

    could just say nothing at all regarding the fight ....until you wanna talk turkey......that could be a good way to go about it too

    considering ggg has made past statements and then had to retract them or change their course...or was that just the fans that did that for him?

    OK man, GGG said it has to happen at 160 before either of them started any negotiations, the fight's off, 100% not happening now.

    if yer gonna say that....and then retract it...why bother saying it all....say "im interested in fighting canelo...i want that belt....but well have to see what happens when they are ready to fight"....just easier....considering gggs already gotten flack for making comments and then not following up on them

    ggg isnt alone by any means...tons of guys say stupid stuff...i just never got that...i understand its the entertainment business and all......but why say things u have no intention of doing?

    if ggg says "nothing less than 160" and then goes to canelo and says "ok ill do 157"...he isnt fooling anyone...ggg needs to take this strap off of canelo or its not gonna do anything for him

    Beats me, mostly for posturing to the other party I'd guess, doubt they care much about any flack they'll receive for it from a few fans.

    Good and I respect that. But I also love when fights take place on equal terms. Even if it means the fight has to wait a few years to make sense. But trying to drain another middleweight titlist to 155, sorry that is just beyond ridiculous.

    Always keep it 100.

    Yeah, yeah, GGG didn't 'duck' Ward because they're not the same weight.

    I learned what ducking meant when Floyd ducked 09' Manny and fought him when semi-shot.
