    From Lance Pugmire...

    "Alvarez says @GGGBoxing fighting guys like Wade is not going to earn him the @Canelo fight."

    "Canelo says @GGGBoxing needs to fight stiffer competition to make fight with him. @Canelo says he's proven he'll fight anyone."

    From Andreas Hale...

    "Canelo said GGG needs to fight someone before he would take the fight. I asked Canelo who and Bernard Hopkins chimed in with Kovalev. WTF?"


    This makes me sad, but his rhetoric is starting to sound identical to what Mayweather says, no?

    Last time I checked Zurdo Ramirez wasn't the IBF and WBA champion as well as the WBC mandatory at 160.

    Sounds fair

    Paper champ GGG is ducking everyone hoping to hit the Canelo lottery

    No, those were different. GGG said Ramirez needs more fights in the sense that he needs to build his brand to make it financially sensible for GGG to move up 8 lbs.

    Mayweather set the stones on to the path of easiest money and although Oscar likes to berate Floyd on the subjects of picking his way through his career and avoiding people until the right time he seems to be following the very same path with his pet money machine Canelo.

    You're being sarcastic right? He is the WBA, WBO, IBF, IBA, WBC-Interim Champion of the world. He's the consensus undisputed champion of the world.

    It's sad because all the "better" opponents say the same thing. No point to it though when GGG is clearly the best. It's just an excuse.
