    Clenelo will try to get GGG up to 168 where he hasn't fought. in addition to age, paid judges and his jamba juice, he can't lose this one.

    There is no such thing as “there’s no big money fights”. All fighters that dared to be great found risks and took them. Whether they had to move one weight division or 2, they did what they had to do. There’s no excuse for staying in one division, munching on bums and calling out smaller opponents for paydays.

    I'm sure GGG cares what our opinions of him are? :confused::dunno

    He fighting for himself and his family....'legacy' is BS unless the fighter is a gas-lit fool. The days of fighters being manipulated by their parasitic circle / managers / promoters etc with that 'place in history' legacy stuff should be well over....unless said fighter is a real dummy.

    If I ever said canelo really beat GGG I'd be lying & I dont lie
    Tell mr einstein when did GGG ever say it was Abel's fault that he supposedly lost ? Now that was a blatant lie from you because he never did. 80% of the boxing world voted that GGG beat Gingers azz TWICE !!!! &They were right
    Sunshine I feel sorry for you because you live in cloud cuckoo land. do yourself a favor & stop the ludicrous posts they were funny to start with but now theyre just boring

    Really?, and you’ll think I’ll bother reading the rest of your junk?. :lol: Now that’s one hilarious method to defend a blatant cherry picker like Golovkin.

    You think I started following the sport yesterday?.

    Was it because Sanchez congratulated Canelo on the win and said we can't make excuses about the judges because we appointed them ourselves? Why did GGG fire Sanchez and move to Johnathon Banks?

    Of course he’ll take risks and exchange blows with hopeless opponents. They were selected to make him perform as he wishes and look good doing so. That’s the whole point of cherry picking.

    GGG appointed the judges ?? I dont think theres a judge in Vegas at all that I'd appoint or trust lol Plus if GGG trusted them they blatantly screwed him. Jeeez youre getting to be a PITA

    I don't care, get this.

    you'll think I'll bother to worry about your opinions or posts?

    I have better things to do instead of reading stuff you are posting here. LOL.

    Lots of defending and attacking of GGG here.

    My take is that he's jaded after being ( in his eyes at least) robbed and it's standing his ground for the second rematch or just looking for the easiest ride through his contract.

    At his age and after his accomplishments he deserves to do what he wants.

    The pity is that he could have left a much bigger legacy if he made a couple of decisions differently.

    He should have moved up after Canelo 1 and streamed through SMW, even after canelo 2 he could have

    i also think he could have laid waste to the same group of b siders canelo dispatched. could have done it while canelo was out fighting jc jr and kovalev. right now we would be debating who is a better smw between him and canelo, instead of hoping ggg fights a fight worthy of his career up to this point.

    Just like GGG got Canelo at 160 when Canelo had 0 big fights there right?? Now nobody is forcing ggg and it's not Canelo fault ggg never had the balls to move up in weight

    The amount of hate he gets is so unreal, when it’s blatantly known that bigger names avoided him when he came onto the scene. Cotto, Jacobs didn’t get it in there with him right away, Canelo didn’t get in with him right away, Martinez wanted nothing to do with him, Sturm.

    What do you expect Canelo to do, tell the truth?

    Of course there is. If you think otherwise name them.
