So because fans said that about 3G, somehow 3G is full of **** Pimp? Are you even aware of how stupid that is? You've been here long enough to know fans DO NOT speak for boxers. Especially on a freakin internet message board.
Why do you refer to Vanes as a WW? Are you intentionally being dishonest, or are you too clueless to realize Vanes had been at 154 for nearly a decade. Which one is it, are you just a liar or ignorant?
Abel said years ago anyone from 154-168 can get it yet we all know that isn't the case when it comes to GGG.
Ok Lance, you win. Golovkin dragged up a Super Welterweight who was unranked, who was inactive for two years and gave him three weeks to prep for a MW championship fight. Feel better now son?
That was before GGG became a house hold name and you know it hence the fight anyone rhetoric to get established. When GGG became the man at 160 he didn't need to be dictated to. And if you are referring to Ward he said he'd go to 160 for Mayweather and beat Wlad at heavyweight.....should HE be held accountable for this nonsense?
He's a short notice opponent, what did you expect. The man he should have been fighting is Canelo, he got busted. It is what it is.
Golovkin and his team have been making this claim since 2012 and as recent as 2017. Golovkin: I'll fight anyone at 154, 160, 168 - New York Boxing Blog ... [ESPN 2012] Sanchez: I've said anybody from 154-168 wont go twelve with GGG ... [2014] This content is protected [2016] Im not too big for 160. My weight I told you is 165 just 30 days before the fight. It was 164 yesterday. 160 is very good. 154 is good category for me. -Golovkin 2017
What does this have to do with what I posted? You get TOO caught up in the silly drama Pimp. FANS do not dictate what 3G's intentions are. And Abel can say what he wants. You guys just take all this way too serious. Guess what, boxers and trainers and promoters AND FANS say stupid stuff. BTW, how did 3G duck Jermall? You going to answer that, or pretend you never said he ducked him.
So instead of postponing the fight a few more weeks he opts to find an inactive super welterweight who had been inactive two years, lose his IBF title, prove he is not a draw based on his 1.3 mil viewers, get paid peanuts, and turn his back on his "life long goal of unifying all the MW titles", because Canelo failed a test? lol That's a bit of a stretch. AGAIN, GGG was not REQUIRED to fight on May 5th, he was not required to fight Vanes. He was however required to fight Derevyanchenko, he was required to give the IBF a time frame as to when he would fulfill his obligation. Funny how GGG was always about fulfilling his mandatory obligations, but as soon as his mandatories are quality fighters, he doesn't care about unifying anymore.
You don't even believe that. Perfect case of pot calling the kettle black. Lets also not forget how GGG dragged up and permanently damaged WW Brook at the full MW limit. GGG has a long history, possibly longer than Canelo of fighting opponents from lower divisions.
You think it's that simple, don't you. Yeah, just call HBO, tell them to move the date. It's REALLY that easy to you, right? You are too naive kid... I guess when you spend hours every day for HALF your life on a message board, being lowly educated and overly naive shouldn't be a surprise.
He said 154 because he wanted to fight FMJ for millions and millions. Is that not obvious? No hate I'm just saying he wanted to fight FMJ because he wanted the payday.
