    Can't really duck someone who isn't and has never fought at your weight class

    So why did people say Floyd ducked GGG then? And are you one of them? I think you were.

    Sounds fair

    GGs starving himself to make 160 in hopes of cashing out against Canelo.

    It'll be in his best interest to move up to 175

    Yes. Bumlovkin is a household name. 97K PPVs sold proves as much...

    I've always agreed that "u can't duck someone from a different weight class" is complete trash .....if two guys are a division apart and both considered elite, p4p, type fighters than they can be reasonably expected to fight

    Canelo has never fight at full 160 limit..and has essentially fought two welterweights (cotto a jr mw at best) but they says he's ducking a career 160 guy.....it's sad how pathetic these twats are

    when Cotto didn't want to fight GGG he got a pass as he stood little chance, for GGG not wanting to fight the best p4p boxer on the planet at the time in Ward I also give him a pass as there where too many what if's at 160 that needed answering! take Khan and Brook for instance, there are so many guys at 147 that they might beat or might get beaten by but wouldn't risk a legitimate loss so they jump up for money and get stopped badly! if GGG would have taken the fight when Ward was calling I would have been annoyed as this fight can wait, GGG will always be the underdog against Ward. GGG is one of the only guys who's team seem to be trying to use his talent to build a legacy first and let the money come in from the big fights as they happen, I'm happy with this tbh, not all fighters can jump through weight classes and smash guys up like the De la Hoya's and Pacs of this world. GGG is at the right weight for his age like Hagler and Monzon were and look at their legacy! Ward would have stopped the GGG hype train which I'm thoroughly enjoying right now! I want GGG to break Hopkins record, unify, try and beat the top dogs at 168 and if he can do that go to 175 for Ward in a super fight that he probably will lose. Casual fans aren't seeing the potential in the current 160/168 division for GGG

    Good bait, they came hard. That said, this thread looks like a joke, a bait/joke thread.

    He's a household name because he's exciting to watch for casuals and has promotional backing.
