    You have to beat Oscar De La Hoya to be a star in the states...unless you're Bernard Hopkins.

    But Pac, Mayweather, Trindad, Mosley....all got the golden touch.

    why should he, he is a success in himself. Although hes not proved himself an elite yet, hes a solid world class fighter. Wlad on the other hand by 3G's age had a string of losses to journeymen, something 3G is in no danger of suffering.

    3G has never had do a repair job on a wrecked career nor needed his brother to win his fights against weaklings for him time and time again.

    The gulf in class is fiercely palpable.

    It's a bit more complicated than that. The rest of the world has a lot more professional infrastructure and the ability to host big fights now and it shows.

    How many divisions have an American champ seen as the number one fighter? Not many.

    what else he gonna have on the table that is bigger than canelo?

    if the belts meant something then why did canelo drop it and cotto and canelo defend it with catchweights?

    Why indeed, why did Canelo vacated in the first place? If Canelo wanted
    to fight GGG, should have been last year.

    When GGG has all the belts, beat Canelo then move up.

    to be fair Canelonni doesnt need the fight.

    but it would be progressive to his career to attempt to unify.
