Looking like 2016 was another mediocre year for GGG

Nah, it ain't about moving up. The man's close to greatness at 160. But GGG is managed by idiots (in my opinion) at this point, because at his age, he needs to stay active (3-4 fights per year). Other teams KNOW this, which is why everyone's stalling him out, but Tom "Last Horse Crosses the Line" Loeffler doesn't seem to understand this at all, instead he opts to be the nice guy that gets along with other promoters. That's fine and all, but you are costing your prize fighter his career. At a minimum, GGG should be screaming at Loeffler to land him 'stay busy' fights at a minimum. There is absolutely NO good reason for not fighting someone in December.

He's been given TONS of stay busy fights (all of them if you ask the demographic) and he gets nothings but shade for it. He's 34 he needs to land big fights such as Jacobs, Saunders, Canelo,

History has showed boxing fans this before. His name was Marvin Hagler and he had to go through hell to get a title shot from Vito Antuofermo and was point blank robbed.
Did not get another shot for a title until a year later in which he had to have the U.S. government intervene just to get him that shot from Alan Minter who proclaimed, "No black man is going to take my title". In which he beat him and had **** thrown at him by the British and finally became champion AFTER 50 fights.

After that Hagler fought Duran which would be the equivalent of GGG fighting Pacquiao and got no credit for it and only got credit after Hearns moved up to fight him in 1985.
GGG is experiencing something that has happened to someone else before. Hagler waited for years until Leonard would fight him JUST LIKE Golovkin is going to wait until Canelo wants to fight him. Hagler waited until 1987 to fight Leonard after begging him for years for the fight and waited until 1990 until Leonard offered him a rematch but he had long retired.

Marvin gave the big FINGER to boxing after he was cheated on the cards with the Sugar fight and he was a BMF!!

Man, as a fan, so frustrating. I'm sure he's ecstatic as he got paid real good money for Wade (2 million) and Brook (5 million plus). Looking like a weak opponent for GGG this Dec with another 1.5 million to 2 million purse.

I couldn't even imagine the frustration tho. GGG is a real talent, top level, hard working and his results show it. But the let down man, first the Canelo fiasco, then the Eubank Jr fiasco, and now Danny Jacobs letdown. Its very possible that the Dec opponent will be Heiland or some other fringe contender. Unless they throw in Andy Lee which would be "OK" however he would be coming in off a long lay off, a loss and a draw.

Looking like GGG will be stalled out until he's 35 and slowing down. As soon as he's looking vulnerable the maggots will come out begging to fight him.

Boxing is indeed a cruel sport. I'm glad the man is being paid well.

LMAO!

Those purses are peanuts compared to how much money Little g could earn if he actually took risks and fought live bodies.
Still, to be a virtual nobody, $1M per fight is poverty relative to Mayweather and Paquaio purses, but still not bad for a nobody who has never fought anybody.

You Little g fans can expect the exact same small fry fights for Golovkin in 2017, where he will probably only fight twice for the year, and 2018 when he may finally step up and get his ass beat.
