    Did he just say that?

    Thats an old one from him, I heard it first after GGG vs Lemieux

    Only shows how much he actually respects Golovkin's boxing ability and power.

    Also if u think they ( ODLH and BHOP) arent gonna advise Canelo to duck GGG for as long as possible.....ur crazy


    That WBO belt is the key. If Canelo gets to BJS first than they will be in full ducking mode in 2017. And 2018. And 2019.....etc

    I'm sick of hearing him speak.

    He needs to keep his mouth shut.

    If he was in GG's current situation he wouldn't go anywhere near either of them.

    Does he think we've forgotten how he handled his career?

    Old B Hop is way off the mark as usual.................he should be fighting the winner of Glowaki v Usyk,give the belt away and look to fight the winner of Wlad v Fury.

    Honestly you lot GGG is a natural super heavyweight isn't he?

    So you guys rather see GGG keep fighting these C level fighters instead of taking on a challenge and doing what Brook did against him?

    You mean a money grab ?
    Agaisnt who ?

    If u think Brook got in the ring to "challenge himself" ur wrong.

    His other option was 1.5 mil ...for 147 unification with Jessie Vargas


    EVERYONE wants to see ONE champion in boxing...and the Canelo vs GGG matchup...would be epic, not like 05.02.2015

    I would like to see GGG against 168 guys for sure. I think he has a chance against Ward. But Kovalev would be too much for him, it would be a slaughter and I would not like to see it. Hopkins is drunk (or just a golden boy promoter).

    If GGG can beat Degale, Jack, and/or Ramirez at 168, then Ward/Kovalev/Beterbiev/Stevenson at 175 is the next logical step. Just skipping 168 altogether is stupid.

    GGG weighs less than most guys at 154 (168 was the last unofficial weight). He's essentially a junior middleweight who refuses to cut stupid amounts of weight. Brook was a gigantic welterweight who simply didn't dehydrate (169 was his unofficial weight).

    GGG moving up two weight classes would not be analogous to what Brook did. It's crazy that people don't get this.

    The beat down Nard took from Kovalev made him stupid.
