    Not a hater here, but occasional critique. I have never missed GGG fights for the last 4 years. Always enjoyable to watch.
    I can see reason from both sides. My argument is if a fighter has a lot of potential as GGG is, wouldn't that put him on a higher standard to have better accomplishment?
    If canelo and Saunders fight never happened because of money dispute. Is it acceptable for GGG to keep fighting his mandatory to break Hopkins record eventhough there is absolutely no one in the horizon?
    I think dare to be great is not just about staying or division jumping, it is also about securing big career defining fights and taking challenges.

    The TS should take a look at the vote and change his attitude. I think you DKSAB.
    Let me tell you something dude. Hagler ducked nobody and there's no doubt about his greatness.

    Another thing is Hagler is 5' 9" He's too small to move up in weight.

    I agree. Although there was a thread in Classic a while back arguing that Hagler could be outside the top 10 MW in history. Now, I don't agree with that, but, damn, MW has been a stacked division and the OP put up a fierce argument.

    I see sarcasm isn't your strong point. I assume you're American.

    How about a knock knock joke?

    they all seem like the type of lads who dropped out of school when the maths moved to multiplication and things got too hard.

    they ducked school, but their mothers assured the teachers every day over phonecall(twitter) that they weren't ducking school and how much they couldn't wait to go to school, but they never went back to school.

    Either contribute or go away. I know you get 99% of your post count from silly remarks like this, but give a little effort next time. Thanks in advance.
