Sergiy "The Technician" Derevyanchenko Is A MIDDLEWEIGHT MONSTER...!!!

Majority? I disagree to that extent. Much of training camp is forming your body into the weapon you need it to be. The main waste is the sparring, something that Abel has scaled back on in Golovkins camps anyways, and of course litte things youre hoping to implement against the opponent youve been training for. But Gs body will be the weapon he wants it to be, and he will fight in the same manner he always fights elite fighters.

In fact, Abel is pretty stern on how he doesnt prepare for specefic opponents and instead just prepares his fighters to do what they are going to do regardless of the opponent in front of them. Hes not a trainer that caters to his opponents during his training camps.

That being said... yes I acknowledge its a significant change, but SD hasnt even had a proper training camp and would be entering the fight with the same disadvantage as Golovkin.

When both guys are equally handicapped its not some huge disadvantage to Golovkin as people are making out. IMO it actually favors G because again he will be in better fighting form than SD will. If anything I think team SD should be a bit more precocious about this and wait til they can have a proper training camp under them entering a G fight.

 

So, your position is, that even though SD doesnt even have a training camp under him, and has no fight scheduled at all, and would be taking this fight on short notice, and Golovkin is in legit fighting shape with an elite level training camp behind him going in, that him having to 'unlearn' some gameplan they had for Canelo, is such a disadvantage compared to a guy with no camp but just taking the fight on a couple weeks notice, that it justifies purposely not fighting SD and instead fighting the likes of Munguia or Vanes?


Thats what you are saying?

I just dont see how thats a practical position.

If someone isnt going to call this instance a duck, they probably shouldnt call any instance a duck, because every situation is going to have a context to why that fighter didnt take the fight. Whether its money, whether its options, whether its personal life problems, ect.... the fighter that ducks, and their fans, will always have a listed reason why they duck a fight. Its the rational persons job to weigh if those reasons are practical or not.

Saying, well one guy with an elite training camp under him and in proper fighting shape will have to unlearn a gameplan while the guy with no training camp at all just has to learn one, as a valid excuse to justify fighting Vanes instead of SD right now, is not valid, imo.

We just disagree on this one.

 

A fighter with no fight scheduled being in the gym to stay relatively fit is not comparable in the slightest to a fighter whose just had a full, legitimate fight camp.

 

It is seeming as if youre just scrambling for any reason you can to justify G not taking this fight.

I dont 'want this fight so badly'..

Its very simple...

G desperately needs an opponent on the 5th. His mandatory is eagerly wanting to step in to fight, instead team G is looking for a showcase fight against illegitimate opposition, and Im simply saying hes obviously swerving SD.

There is no deep desire to see this particular fight in the grand scheme of things... Im just calling a spade a spade, while not aggreeing with peoples poor attempts to justify team Gs move here.
