If GGG is such a bad man why hasn't he moved up in weight ?

    That's an easy one, it's Canelo money.

    Because the Canelo fight will secure his financial well-being for the rest of their lives.

    Has already been offered £15 dollars for it.

    Secondly, no names at 168. Biggest fight close to that weight is Ward who not only is way bigger than GGG but has no fanbase, an overinflated sense of self worth and although Abel won't admit it...The sort of style that is all wrong for GGG.

    1) Wants to unify
    2) Waaaaaiiting for Canelo
    3) Natural MW
    4) No big names until 175 ... where they're TOO big. imho.

    I think a fight against DeGale would sell pretty well if they fight in the UK, especially if DeGale beats Jack. Staying at 160 makes the most sense for him right now though since he has a chance at being undisputed and getting a fight with Canelo which analysts have estimated would generated 100m.

    You talking about that same canelo that he said he didn't want to fight?! Both GGG and Ward overestimate there worth lol. Who has GGG fought to turn down 15 mil, isn't that what cotto got vs Canelo.
    But Degale would be huge in the U.K., why is he waiting for someone he said he doesn't want to fight /shrug. He had Brook go up two weight classes what's the issue?! From the way you guys tell it him fighting 175lbers is a non issue he knocks out heavyweights remember?!!!

    If Hagler and Monzon was such bad men then why didn't they?

    He's still 16 fights and 7 years off how long Hopkins stayed for.

    I said before if I was GGG I would have accepted the 15 mil. Let's see how him and Jacobs get on (fight and numbers wise) It either hurts or helps him at the negotiation table.

    Will be interesting.
