    New article saying there won't be interim fights.

    Really, really hope that's true.

    This just needs to be done with. GGG is too old to be wasting time.

    Wait, you mean to say Khan wasn't good enough prep?

    But Canelo hasn't shown he can beat a true middleweight. I would love Canelo-Curtis Stevens and GGG-Jacobs on a card together first. Not to hype Canelo-GGG, but to show that Canelo can compete with and deserves to fight the best middleweight in the world.

    Because all boxers are pussies now who just want to get millions of dollars for fighting cab drivers.

    :lol::rofl

    GGG is a Unified champion. He doesn't need to be built anymore. Cotto flat out said he wasn't fighting GGG so GGG took step aside money (500k) Cotto would have dropped the belt rather then fight GGG and it looks like Canelo is going to do the same thing since Oscar is painted into a corner since GGG is the Mandatory and they can't enforce their ridiculous 155 catchweight.

    I think GGG wants to move up a division, but not until after he has unifies the titles. There's nothing stopping him from attempting to do just that... except for a signed contract from Canelo and GBP. If the WBC strip Canelo for ducking a real middleweight , who would be GGGs next opponent to fight for the vacated title? :think If Canelo really thinks he isn't a true middleweight he needs to vacate because he is in real danger of becoming a laughingstock, and that would be a stupid move when he seems to be ready to take a challenge like when he called GGG out after dealing to Khan the other day:good
