    With so many mandatories for Gennady. I won't be suprised if gets stripped from some of his belts.

    I'm sure if he were advised of this, he would probably drop the spike.

    I don´t think GGG is avoiding anybody, it´s just Loeffler trying to secure the Canelo rematch in September.. Spike is with Golden Girls, right?

    So it will be O'Sullivan.

    The IBF should strip GGG of the title for refusing to fight Derevyanchenko.

    No his management is. As I have said before, nobody's team is going to want to take a risk with a $10m fight on the kettle in Sept.

    Yes, more like $20 million to be honest.

    Reports said he got about that the first time.

    Canelo risked his fight against Mayweather fighting high risk/low reward Austin Trout.

    That's the difference between someone who is willing to fight anyone, and someone who chooses his opponents.

    GGG went from claiming to be the most avoided fighter to being the fighter avoiding the most fighters.

    Ward- Weight to high
    Canelo at 155- Weight to low
    Lara-No one knows him
    Trout- (Completely ignored)
    Jacobs rematch- (Wait your turn)
    Andrade-We don't want a lefty
    DChenko- (Completely ignored)

    Who he wants:

    Munguiliam
    OSullivan

    Canelo also risked his newly won MW crown by figjting Khan in his (gifted) interim defense before fighing his manandatory.

    He then risked it all by giving up his title instead of letting the GGG fight go to purse bid and fight the not ranked in the top 5 in weight Smith.

    After winning that meaningless fight and announcing to the world he would now fight at MW, announced his upcoming fight with the hasn't been relevant in years JCjr at a SMW Cw.

    You shouldn't lose respect for GGG if he doesn't fight him. His big payday is Canelo. Why would he fight him when so much is riding on the Canelo fight? That makes no sense.

    No, he shouldn't lose respect for him. We would probably do the same put in his position, so let's stop pretending GGG is this fearless throwback fighter. He's actually worse than a lot of privileged fighters.

    Austin Trout wasn't "high risk" at all, he's a solid fighter nothing more, nothing less who has lost everytime he's stepped up against the top of 154 who are true 154lbers.

    End of the day your boy should have stayed off the Clenbuterol.
