    You seem to be forgetting that BJS after winning his last fight called out Amir Khan. Not GGG not Canelo, not Jacobs, not Charlo.

    Amir Khan!!!

    Do your best and justify that fight, you will find a way.

    He's never going to fight Khan, that was just to get people talking.

    BJS is just being overlooked now, people have been wanting GGG to unify for years, but now he's had the opportunity he's got cold feet and his fan boys are looking out for him saying Billy isn't a big enough name and that he had to earn the fight.

    Ffs he's a world champion he doesn't need to earn the fight, if you want to prove you are the best you have to beat him not a ginger midget with zero wins @ 160

    GGG is doing a Khan to Kell Brook, which I find humorous in a way, but it clearly shows the GGG/Brook fans are hypocrites with huge double standards

    Hang on so you quote GGG's promoter claiming he will fight Cotto. Yet when I quote BJS calling out Khan somehow that's rubbish and it was just to get people talking? Double standards!!!

    Holding a world title doesn't guarantee a fighter anything. BJS since winning that title has actively chosen to hold the title hostage. His refused to go in the ring with live bodies.

    I'm sure GGG would gladly come over here to fight BJS if Warren puts up the money but he wont as the reality is he wont as there is no guaranteed return on that investment.

    I never quoted nobody, I just said I think GGG will try to get the Cotto fight. I see a pattern of trying to get money fights, GGG is the new Mayweather. Quite funny seeing he used to say he didn't fight for money, he fights for legacy and #allofthebelts!!! He used to bag other fighters for not fighting him for peanuts, but he doesn't practice what he preaches that's for sure.

    Amir Khan isn't going to fight BJS, don't be delusional. Billy would fight him if he could and I would rubbish that fight too, but Warren isn't talking about Khan, he's only got his fish eyes on GGG. Warren would love to get Billy vs GGG on BT and it doesn't have to be in the UK. Ffs GGG is a star, he can draw huge numbers in the US with anyone, he can stump up the cash to fight Billy surely???

    GGG already fought a Khan equivalent in Kell Brook and Cotto isn't much better to be honest. It's a **** weak easy fight, Cotto is pretty much retired now.

    Surely even you want him to fight for #allofthebelts???

    I hope I never see another GGG fan boy accuse people of ducking, if they don't admit this is a duck.

    I have always said I believe Jr ducked Jacobs at the time, but I don't think he ducked GGG or BJS 2, they were much more complicated. Hearn stole the GGG fight and politics spoiled BJS 2

    This isn't complicated, it's a blatant duck.

    I'm a GGG nuthugger but I've said previously he can get to **** if he tries to get the Cotto match.

    Although with RE to Saunders, @james5000 what do you think of Saunders calling out Khan after the Monroe fight?

    I think it's a crap fight really, a terrible fight if it happened, but I also think Saunders knows its not going to ever happen, so just did it for a bit of publicity and to get people talking about him.

    No GGG cannot draw huge numbers vs anyone in the US. Check his PPV numbers prior to Canelo. They were very low and a fight vs a nobody like BJS isn't a draw in the US at all.


    Warren couldn’t out up the same purse Hearn put up to fight Brook. The Brook fight was made on the belief they would do big ppv numbers which they did. A sold out O2 and 400k+ PPV buys made the fight profitable.


    Can Warren guarantee GGG the same kind of purse as well as pay BJS a career high when in no way would he be certain to one get the gate revenue and forget about BJS on PPV. BJS is a nobody.

    GGG numbers pre-Canelo are irrelevant, IMO Mayweather vs Pacman killed PPV for a few years in the US, but I honestly think the good will of MayMac and CaneloGGG have brought boxing back to the forefront of the US market.

    Don't be surprised to see GGG ppv numbers boom without Canelo. BJS is an easy sell in the US too, he's like a WWE character they will pay to see him get KO'd, plus he has the title #allofthebelts

    I'm saying, how can we trust that BJS wants the fight when not that long ago he admitted he would lose?

    The recent negotiations for the fight will have probably been side-tracked once serious Canelo GGG talks got mentioned. Now there's a chance for them to both fight and BJS calls out Amir Khan?

    If GGG-Cotto gets made, I'll be the first one to say sh*t on GGG by agreeing to fighting a faded star.

    Laughable thread.

    Canelo, GGG and Jacobs all slaughter BJS

    GGG is definitely past his prime.

    Still has an iron chin and is the best in the division.

    I think he is looking for money fights. My guess is he fights Canelo next May then hangs them up.

    I agree with he OP re: His size. GGG is a big middleweight no doubt.

    Cotto is unlikely anyway, he'll (Cotto) will probably end up rematching Canelo! More money....

    I'd like GGG to take his Charlo mandatory.

    You are one of the biggest Moby's on this site and a terrible troll.

    Didn't you say Golovkin wouldn't fight Canelo? Didn't you say Canelo was going to beat Golovkin?

    You also claimed in the past Golovkin ducked Eubank Jr ffs.

    Is this what you do? Just keep plugging away with ridiculous claims and predictions and hope you get one right and so you can turn around and say "I told you so".

    Embarrassing.


    And for your information, Saunders was calling out KHAN after his win last week, he wasn't eager to call out the winner. Why isn't Saunders making noise about fighting Golovkin?

    He has been offered the fight before and turned it down, that's a fact.

    And when spoken to before the Hughie Fury fight over the weekend Saunders said he is looking for a date at the end of the year because those two big'uns will probably have a rematch. Again, hardly keen is he? Hardly screaming for it.

    So how can you come on here and use the word "duck"? Ridiculous.
