    If GGG tried to make a fight with the Andre Dirrell that I saw against Capparello, he'd be accused with cherrypicking. And probably by you too.

    nah...id love to see it...be his best fight yet by some margin...I definitely think dirrell has lost a step or two from his super6 era days.....but hes still a tough out.....id love to see it and give ggg credit

    but like I said...that the type of fight ggg avoids at all costs...

    You DO realize Golovkin is bigger than Mayweather, Cotto, Brook, etc., right?

    I might've bought this, had I not seen you accuse him of trying to cherrypick faded Froch. And current Dirrell is probably more faded than the Froch from the Groves fights.

    of course its a cherrypick....when ur willing to fight froch at 168 but then ask andre ward for 164 and actually tell ward "were not interested...maybe in 2017 it might be possible"....then what else could it be?

    ur willing to fight froch....but ward, who had that point fought 98 percent of his career at 168, u don't wanna discuss?

    my fave part is when sanchez is talking last week "I think ggg and ward will fight"......haha...ya ok.....hey how about you talk about your welterweight fighter instead of ward? ward aint talking about you anymore and hasn't been in quite awhile

    if ward wins against kova theres no way ggg is going near him...he already doesn't wanna be near him

    It's not a cliche. It's just a statement of fact. Like, what's your problem with it?

    You can say it won't make any difference in the fight if you want, but it's a valid comment.

    Brandon rios weighed 175 for the Bradley fight....and is 5-8

    "rios is a big ww".....nobody cares...just like nobody cares if brook is

    can brook take an elite mw's punch? can brooks punch do anything to an elite mw? we don't know......viktor postol is a huge jr welter....nobody cares though.....if danny Jacobs tried to fight him youd laugh....if lara tried to fight him youd laugh

    when did GGG call out wade if i recall correctly it was a mando inforced by the ibf and we know how the ibf are like if GGG did not fight him he would of been stripped

    "ill fight degale...ill fight zurdo...ill fight Bernard at 175 why not".....was he looking to defend that ibf belt in those scenarios?

    Irrelevant to what I said. My point is you wouldn't give GGG any credit for fighting current Dirrell and you just acknowledged that you'd call It a cherrypick.

    if ward loses to kovalev i still think him vs ggg is a very good fight

    the ibf did not enforce the mando at those times he was mandated to fight wade or else get stripped

    even if ward gets knocked out by kovalev i think the GGG fight is still a very good one ward can move back down to 168 and let the fight happen

    Exaggerately bigger i'd say, even to the point of being one inche taller than Brook and 2 taller than Canelo, who weights more than him on fight night :think
