    No that belongs to trash can resume GGG, the biggest diva in boxing today. Who doesn't realize he's not A-side and can't dictate terms with the PPV king of boxing in Canelo.:deal:

    Look at you defending the biggest diva in boxing GGG. That was just Loeffler doing his job? OK but does that change what GGG said at the Khan bout, talking about a 15-day timetable. Only a diva would bring that up like that. How about "give me my belt". Sounds like a real diva there too. Don't forget GGG demanded a bigger split for the rematch. It's the trifecta, Triple G, the Triple Diva lmao.

    Yes how DARE Golovkin demand Clenelo defend his MANDATORY defence for the WBC belt! Such things don't apply to Sleeping Beauty Clenelo and her Prince Oscar :lol:

    Voted yes. It could be debatable but he's right up there with the biggest skirts in history and his career isn't done yet. He'll probably be the P4P diva by the time he's finished.

    The WBC has been pushing for mandatory same day weigh-ins since the beginning of the year. Jim Lampley talked about how rehydration limits would become standard throughout boxing in 2019 during the ring walks of Canelo GGG 2. For years many believed that Canelo was rehydrating some 20 lbs or more after he weighed in, so many of his detractors were accusing Canelo of rehydrating too much. It seems like he's criticized no matter what happens, if there's no rehydration limit then Canelo is rehydrating too much, then when there is one he's being accused of demanding rehydration limits.

    Ironically the WBC and the IBF seem to believe that rehydration limits are for the health and safety of fighters. I'm not sure I agree with that.

    Most of his catchweights were demanded by his opponents. (Floyd, Cotto, Khan) If you want to look at the Canelo - Chavez catchweight of 164.5 lbs, then you have to also look at the GGG Rolls catchweight of 164.

    The PED situation clenbuterol whether you believe it due to contaminated meat or not, has zero to do with being a diva.

    The illegal wraps issue was a claim made by Abel Sanchez, which again has nothing to do with Canelo being a diva. If anyone was being a diva there it was Sanchez! Canelo's wraps were deemed legal by the NSAC. Trying to equate Vegas judges to Canelo being a diva is laughable. Don't forget that Team GGG made a big stink about who the referee and judges were for the Canelo GGG rematch. If anyone was being a diva there it was Team GGG who basically insisted on hand picking who the referee and judges were lol.

    I don't have any problem with GGG wanting Canelo to defend his title, as GGG was the mandatory. Nothing wrong with that, however how can you deny that he sounded like a diva when he brought up a 15-day timetable when interviewed at the Khan fight? That was the first time I really saw GGG reveal himself as a diva. it suggested he was pushing the WBC to impose the absurd 15-day timetable on Canelo.

    Divas make demands of their opponents, not the other way around. How about GGG's famous statement "Give me my belt". Sounds like a baby asking mommy for his bottle. Give me my bottle Mommy, what a total diva sounding statement that was. Even you can't deny how much of a diva GGG sounded there.

    They did not approve the first referee. Another example of Team GGG being divas, being all nitpicky on who was the ref, who were the judges. And he still got his ass beat lmao.

    I don't care if they sent a bull**** offer when Kovalev has a fight lined up. That idea is like when Ward said he would fight Klitschkos or Joshua. Completely, utter BS. Get back at me if Alvarez fights anyone worth mentioning at 168, let alone 175.

    And? If that was a legit offer why didn't Duva take it? You want to claim that Kovalev is ducking Canelo?

    Canelo knew since Cotto that he would have to face GGG and was ducking like crazy. It wasn't 15 days that he knew he'd have to make the fight. He knew for about half a year.

    ****ing-A sounds like an alpha demanding that Clenelo defends his belt or hands it over. He handed it over. And speaking of Clen, maybe that's the reason he never wanted to fight GGG at that time. He hadn't cycled yet and had to work it out of his system? Food (heh) for thought.
