    And that's GGG's fault? All he can do, in context of the MW division, is keep fighting those willing to step in the ring with him.

    What does it say about how weak the division is when the guy who is the lineal champ won't fight a ranked MW, demands a CW within his own weight class, and is making his first defense against a barely top 10 WW?

    So Hopkins, a big MW and former LHW was willing to fight Oscar who had already fought at the 160 limit at a catchweight, but Golovkin cannot fight Canelo who has never fought at the 160 limit at a catchweight? But GGG was willing to have Ward come down to a catchweight?

    Do you see the problem here?

    Good Boy needs an elite opponent, yet he isn't willing to do whatever it takes to make these fights happen.. He doesn't act like an ATG, he acts more like a diva.

    Froch is retired.. Lets talk about Canelo or Ward who beat the snot out of Froch..

    GGG can elevate his weak legacy by taking chances like a true warrior, why does he let his fans down?

    It's not Golovkin's fault. I'm simply stating a fact. I'm not defending Canelo's bull****, the same way I didn't defend Golovkin's catch weight bull**** in regards to Ward.

    What do you mean by big middleweight? Sure Hopkins was 6'1 but did you look a what he would weigh in at for fights? or in ring weight? There are fights were if you compare weight, Canelo weighed more in the ring. Hopkins weighed in at 156 when he fought De La Hoya.

    I tell you what. Hopkins would have called Canelo's bluff, and took the 155 catch weight, and then mugged Canelo. People talk about how big he was. He weighed in at 156 for Oscar. Hops would have ****ed Canelo up.
