    I hear conflicting things

    Was it a duck???

    & Im talking about after Canelo pulleed out of the fight...

    When Drevy was willing to fight ggg on 3 weeks notice so ggg could fulfill his IBF MANDO

    The IBF didnt wait to see if Golovkin would fight SD next and stripped him. C'est la vie.

    The IBF was ok with the Vanes fight.

    The problem was that Canelo cheated and screwed up the date. Let him fight Derevyanchenko on 3 weeks notice :deal: I think SD > Canelo, anyway.

    The Derev fight didn't make sense for GGG, dangerous opponent and on 3 weeks notice after not being in the ring for 8 months. Why would he take such a risk with the Canelo rematch on the horizon...

    GGG dropped his belt instead of facing his mandatory who was relatively a novice with only 12 fights

    Not alot happened with it. What does it even matter? Surely we are not calling GGG a ducker now after the career he has had.

    The IBF only approved the Vanes match on the condition that Golovkin face his mandatory right after.
    Team GGG took the Vanes match then reneged on facing his mandatory

    He got stripped of the only belt he ever won off a champion.. I would say a lot happened with it , but i get why fanboys would like to brush it under the carpet and pretend like it didn't happen.

    You can keep hiding behind Canelo all you want but facts are facts. The IBF even said if he had picked a real opponent he would have kept the belt. His opponent dropped he refused to fight a lefty because he was prepping for a righty. Ducked his mando to fight a 154 coming off losses and layoff. But you ask people here GGG is better than Hagler and Hopkins at 160

    No duck, idiot. Team GGG were deep in negotiations w/ Golden Boy. No way Clenelo would have walked away from that Golovkin pay day. GGG stood his ground and Clenelo folded.
