    When I was a kid growing up The Heavyweight Champion of the World was the supreme athlete Everyone knew who he was Today if you asked20 people in the street who the World Champ was 80 % wouldn't have a clue
    Corruption is killing boxing

    Maybe Sergiy would have beaten him. We don't know because Golovkin wouldn't give him the opportunity.

    So GGG should be allowed win the belt and then fight retired welterweights like Vanes for the rest of his career and duck SD, Jermall, Saunders etc.

    Dereyvachenko deserves his shot, why should he wait another fight.

    Cotto was a world 160 title holder from 2014 to 2015.

    Derevyanchenko turned pro in 2014.

    At what point in that time should GGG have fought Derevyanchenko?

    Stop showing yourself up.

    This is one GREAT reason why I respect Bhop so much. He was clowned and ridiculed for fighting guys -people didn't want to see (rigged rankings?) Hop pleaded- judge my career when it is said and done, not before and after every fight.
    Hence..when I see posters who rag on Hop's resume- yeah some were lame, but he didnt call them out. Rankings told him who to fight or get stripped.

    He chose legacy -stating if I DONT fight their mandatory they will strip me and I am chasing history. I want to be like Monzon & Haglar; guys who ruled their division breaking records for title defenses. Only the era watching knows the challengers...decades later fans dont know all the names, just the main names. Hop knew this and so, to, does GGG...but he has made some wrong azz decisions and he is paying for it.
    Great fighter, bad decision maker.

    What are you talking about this guy is spending his time playing this stupid game with Alvarez, he could of been undisputed last year but he chose the money. It’s cool but don’t act surprised when the sanctioning bodies do their jobs.

    Who said he had to?

    Golovkin was in the process of the Canelo negotiations, the Minute ODLH days the fight was dead he got stripped.

    Now considering Golovkin has yet to avoid a mandatory this is a bit harsh to strip as additional negotiations could have gone on between Derevyanchenko team and GGG's.

    What’s crazy about this situation is the IBF literally went full speed as soon as the May 5 Canelo fight fell apart. Then they issued the 90 day order and boom the belt is gone

    So now it’s Derevenchenko vs Jermall Charlo for the vacant title

    That’s s good fight

    When did he have the opportunity. He was set to fight the
    GingerMeat man till he popped dirty & the fight was cancelled Vanes was offered the fight short notice & took it No one mentioned Derev then. I wouldn't he surprised if they don't hand the IBF belt to Canelo or order him to fight Spike for it ROFL
    I said many months ago that GGG would end up like Margarito He;d be railroaded out because there wasn't anyone rho could beat him LEGITIMATELY

    Cotto never once fought at 160 nor did he let his opponents fight at 160. GGG chasing the fight was at 160. When you call out a guy from another weight class , its on you to go to that weight class which would have been 156 or whatever mickey mouse class he and Canelo created.

    End of. I wont discuss this with somebody who is willfully dishonest on the subject.

    Jermall will face Golovkin because of Golovkin's mandatory duty to WBC
