Teddy Atlas: “GGG threatened DAZN that he leaves them if he doesn’t get the trilogy fight”

He’d been rehydrating to 170 ever since he fought for the IBF against Lemieux.

Lemieux - 170
Wade - 170
Brook - 170

Was he drained against these guys too?

The highest he’s come in is 173 against Rubio and Vanes. You pulled 175 out of your ass.

Jacobs never said he was 185lbs, Sanchez claimed he was 182 but that’s unsubstantiated. Even if GGG rehydrated as much as he liked, the highest he’d come in previously was 173 so Jacobs would have had 10lbs or so on him anyway. Maybe GGG would have added another 1-3lbs, big deal.

You appear to be terribly confused.

 

Just another person in total denial. I mean you have to be in denial if you think that mummy version of Chavez Jr could do anything serious.

Move up weight? You mean like Canelo’s inevitable move up where he has troubles to make 154 any more? Or where I guess it will be harder for him to make 160 in the future? Or Ward who didn’t fit 168 anymore? Why GGG should move up? Was he loosing a lot of weight to be in his division? Or just because chacal needs that?

 

we are talking about MONROE ****ING 18% KO MIDDLEWEIGTHT JUNIOR.

You understand?
MONROE ****ING 18% KO MIDDLEWEIGTHT JUNIOR.

Chávez jr would eat him alive for breakfast. Even drained he's way the bigger guy, plus my exgirfriend hits harder than this guy monroe. Chavez could walk him down, and up, and down and to the left and down and up again and to the right. There's nothing monroe could do.

Deluded? yes, here's someone delude, but it's not me.

 

Yes because KO %'s are what determines a fighters worth....

 

GGG last interview during press day was quite interesting.

He is basically saying that there was an agreement between GGG, DAZN, GBP and Canelo. Nobody knows why Canelo changed his mind in the last moment. There is a lot of negativity coming towards Canelo quite similar actually when he was annoyed with Ward breaking some kind of agreement.

And finally he is saying that he hopes that he will retire healthy enough to spend more time with his family.

 

You are in denial. Monroe’s KO ratio has nothing to do in this situation, he would have just outpointed mummified version of Chavez Jr, who was not just drained but literally in really in bad shape.

 

I was thinking of the Vanes fight where he was 174. Fair enough, he's been lighter for the rest of his fights.

Yes he does:

1:15 Jacobs himself says he came in 180-185. He puts a spin on it that he's better at a lighter weight. Yeah, ok Danny

Yes, it is a big deal. When you're on the limit as little as 2lb can affect your weight. Look at how flat Canelo was against Mayweather. When you have 2 versions of a fighter, one which has been restricted in weight and the other one not, the rehydrated one is better. There's a reason guys like PBF and Canelo drain their opponents, and its not to make them better.

I guess everything is confusing for you.
