    Saunders and Canelo should be on his resume already but they waited and waited.

    GGG avoided Ward, who was a weight class above. All the fighters I listed were career middleweights. Degale wasn't avoided and Lara is fighting nobodies

    Kovalev was a weight class above Ward, it wasn't used as an excuse by Ward to avoid fighting him.

    Mind you, he was also willing to jump up and fight an inactive Froch and a walking zombie name Chavez Jr at the same weight that Ward was fighting in

    I know all of this. Doesn't change the fact that GGG was heavily avoided.

    So you agree that he wasn't avoided. Ok, got it.

    True, but wasn't he averaging like many more power punches than the MW average years back?

    Most top fighters are boxers though. Some bug sluggers prefer pressure fighters. But again since most fighters don't have power they can't stop a pressure fighter. To stop pressure you shut their lights off.

    If Lara really wanted to fight Golovkin, he would move up to 160, have a fight there against a contender and become his mandatory for the WBA belt, it is that easy. Jermall Charlo did the same, if he beats Heiland he is the new mando of Golovkin. Charlo wants to fight GGG, Lara just talks, period.

    Froch and Charvez Jr didn't need to move down and contend and become Golovkin's mandatory for him to agree to fight him, now did they?
    Man I love deconstructing you Golokin fans.

    Froch and Chavez Jr turned down the Golovkin fight, Froch did it openly. Golovkin didn't turn down anything, since Lara was just talking BS about wanting to fight him just like how Rigondeaux did with Lomachenko lately. That is the difference here, attaboi. Or are you Shockmaster? Anyway, you will get banned soon. :ciao:

    I take that you've been completely deconstructed? You have no argument. NONE!
