How exactly is he supposed to get more popular if big names are avoiding him? He's already fighting 4x a year.
Degale and Ward want to spank him big time, fight them and win and he will be a huge star. Im starting to think Ggg's end game is unifying 160 and then retiring
Yes, go up to light heavyweight then drain himself back down to below 155/157 for Canelo. Brilliant idea. Absolutely brilliant. You need to go and manage fighters' careers.
So what does GGG do in the meantime? There are no other huge fights available to him at MW at the minute.
Probably try to knock out a mandatory if he's smart. He should still try to get 1-2 fights in to stay sharp.
Tureano is the real winner today, he has earned his shot and not a ***** like some jmw's or mw's and will fight GGG at 160.
Your crystal ball told you so? Canelo has the WBC in his back pocket. Don't believe me? Go see the title of this thread. WBC = Canelo's [female dog].. You asked for bigger fights than Canelo Bumlovkin. Well, Canelo Chavez jr IS A BIGGER FIGHT than Canelo Bumlovkin, Genius. 1 + 1 = 2
Nothing I can really add here, they should have played hardball, but if they did that Canelo may have vacated, and I'm sure GGG would prefer facing a name like Canelo that will bolster his resume in the eyes of casuals, than a Lee or Saunders etc, who may be harder to beat but no one cares about quite as much in terms of name value, so he's stuck playing their silly games.:verysad
Canelo vs LHW Rodriguez is another Mexico vs Puerto Rico fight, and Rodriguez is the same size as Chavez. So, will they have to fight at 155 or Canelo will agree on 157 ???
Most new Champions are allowed at least one voluntary defense before having to fulfill mandatory obligations, I don't know why anyone wouldn't see this coming.
