Why does GGG keep calling out smaller fighters than him??

Cotto owns a title that GGG is the rightful heir to, so Cotto is on the hitlist. Canelo is probably bigger than GGG on a fight night, there is a reason he fights at a catchweight.

And Floyd...hell, who wouldn't challenge floyd. 300 + mil in sales, ANYONE within 2-3 weight classes is chasing after that check.

 

kirkland and his people are stupid as hell!! look what happend to him! do you think canelos people will allowed him to fight a huge fight after 2 years out of the ring? no way....you know better :good

 

Close enough. Last time I saw fight night weights Alvarez was 172 and GGG was 173.

GGG isn't lying about making 154...He weighs less than Kirkland (174) and about the same as Lara and Trout (172).

He just fights at middleweight because people that size are less likely to run in fear from the matchup.

 

Why does Ward? :think

 

Same reason.

GGG will bring the same or better money as Kovalev or Stevenson.

If he goes up and fights at 175, then he'll never get the GGG fight.

And the longer he stays at 168, the more likely it is that alvarez will develop into a credible middleweight, making a big money fight with Alvarez highly likely.

If Ward beats GGG, Alvarez, Stevenson, and Kovalev, he will be a massive draw. That's why he's comfortable waiting at 168. The money is at 154 and 160, slowly working its way toward him.

 

The saddest thing about this is that Ward, GGG, Alvarez, Froch, Lara, Kirkland, and Trout all weigh in the low 170's.

Seriously... all those guys weigh within like a 5lb range.

 

We need to stop saying Canelo is smaller than GGG. If Canelo is killing himself to make 154 then he's pretty much a 160 pounder.

 

He was also a lot larger in the amateurs, and they don't cut any weight.

He was never unofficially weighed any higher than 176. And that was against Dawson.

Ward is not a big guy for the weight.

 

When will boxing fans acknowledge "Risk vs. Reward?"

Until you do, you might as well not watch boxing as it will cause endless frustration if you are naive to the above truth.

 

Why do you ask a question...

When you think you know the answer..?

Truth is, $$$$$$$$$$$$$, lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Floyd and Canelo bring money to the table.

Ward seems to have retired, and on his best day could not draw any crowd or $$$$$.



There, son.

The Q has been A'd.

No charge !
