    Canelo gave up his belt rather than fight Derevyanchenko.

    Trout is one of the top five most overrated fighters of the past 15 years. Nobody knew, or cared who he was until he beat Cotto. And since then, Cotto is still his biggest win. I don’t get why people bring him up as some great victory.

    Did you forget Tyson lost to Douglas, Twice to Holyfield, also lost to Lewis, and two other bums. Tyson by your standards feasted on bums until he stepped up.

    Canelo makes undefeated fighters look overrated. Like RJJ once said, they got the nerve to say I ain't fight nobody I just make em look like nobody!

    Because Canelo had so much trouble with him. Trout never had a chance on the cards in that fight. Canelo fans try to play up his apponents and downplay GGG'S while happily excepting and bragging on Canelo's crooked wins.

    Cotto and Martinez weren't the only fighters available for Golovkin. So yes, some fighters did duck him such as Sturm, but other fighters between the three weight classes he said he'd fight in called him out.

    So the way I look at it is had he chose to fight those fighters we wouldn't be talking about his thin resume.

    I'm doing good in many areas of my life, especially in comparison to where I was this time last year. I appreciate you asking Kirk. Things have gotten much better for me. From having a place to live, to being able to stay fit, and being good with friends and fam. Hope you and your fam are good too.

    They are very threatened by the very mention of GGG.

    That's exactly what Golovkin did.

    Canelo fired Golden Boy Promotions because they were the cause of him losing his IBF title.

    Ward sent GGG a contract for a fight at 168. 168 is a weight class Golovkin had claim he would fight in. Why didn't GGG fight Ward then? Because he was too risky, in fact I'm willing to say because he or someone in his team knew he would lose.

    Be kind and post this paper copy here.
    Full paper.

    We really might then to read up this including rules and clauses there.
    After this someone might ask Ward and GGG to confirm is stuff you had posted there legit or no.

    BTW including all pages with full text. Post this here.

    Also Ward had been suggested to fight vs Beterbiev but instead he had retired.
    I do not run around this forum to claim that he ducked fight etc cos I didn't had saw contract with all text.

    While ppl like you are thinking how smart they look and how cool they are.
    Remember, Ward retired when he was 33 y.o.
    While ppl like you love to insist that boxers who had fought Canelo were in their prime: like Kovalev, GGG etc.

    Also ppl like you think: Canelo is my God, everyone should be happy for any contract he offers to sign.
    You really are delusional.
    You maybe are thinking : Canelo is rich, all other boxers are with 0 $ on bank account, 0 properties and 0 resume.

    Then guys like you insist that fans should think about Canelo like God.
    While before this ppl post: yeah, next bum, he beat nobody and like this. Weak resume, bad boxer.
    Then explain me why ppl should so highly value Canelo?
    He according to some ppl here had fought nobodies who had beated up nobody.
    Exactly his fans opinion here.

    Golovkin's career is disappointment for me considering how good he was in his prime. Not saying that it was primarily his fault or maybe not his fault at all,, but just so many intersting fights that didn't come off.

    In his early years as a pro Taylor, Abrams, Pavlik, Sturm, Williams and Martinez were all in the division. With his long amateur experience he would have probably been ready for them quite soon after turning pro, but didn't face any of them After those guys had left the division or were fading out, Pirog was the only really interesting dance partner, but his injuries scuppered that one as we all know.

    And when the next generation came around he was already ageing.

    All theatrics. He never wanted Derevyanchenko.

    Even though his management and marketing teams are considered bad to the hardcore fan, they were actually very good. They hyped him up and made him great money without taking any risks.
