    I think he is in the same boat as Hopkins was. Hopkins could have easily continued after the Kovalev fight but he lost the will. And when he did come back, he chose Smith Jr. because Smith was a winnable fight, but also one that excited him.

    Is this thread about GGG vacating the WBA or IBF? its pretty self explanatory my guy. And read my previous posts in the thread about GGG being scared, because i never said that, so instead of shooting yours3lf in the foot. Take the time to read what posters write b3fore qouting and maybe apply a little common sense as well.

    Neither was Lara, who lost to Hurd, who GGG would mop the floor with.

    It needs to be counted,especially when the super champ is Sturm, who lost to Geale, who got annihilated by GGG.

    Counting it make this sport even more of a joke than it is.
    You are saying that Daniel Dubois and Lucas Browne are/were legitimate world champions. That Badou Jack did indeed win a world title at 175lbs.
    Are Morell Jr. and Stanionis world champions at the moment? Is Gervonta Davis a lightweight world champion when Haney is supposedly the unified champion who holds all of the major titles?

    Yep, he was WBA regular and defending his belt. Sturm wanted no part of him.

    ...Jacobs lost to Rosado the same way Canelo lost GGG 1. Corruption be damned

    What weights was the first and 2nd fight? I know the 3rd fight was at 168. Did Canelo not get the judges verdict in the 2nd fight? Was the first fight not scored a draw? I actually scored the first fight in Canelo’s favour circa 116-112 or 115-113. Now I know we may not always like the official verdicts but they are the RESULTS & HARD FACTS!

    I never said anything about the judges verdict.

    I said he was never beaten at 160.

    Two different things.

    Falcao was mandated by the IBF to face GGG and he could have had that fight instead, if he'd wanted to. Falcoa is decent but let's be honest even grandpa version GGG puts a hole in him.

    I wouldn't mind seeing him vs Munguia. It would be an all action fight for sure.

    I think you will find you are dead wrong because Canelo won the 2nd fight and became unified middleweight champion.

    Who did he bring up? Fighters move up on their own, stop it.
