Why does nobody want it with him, is it because he isn't a big draw money wise and it isn't worth the risk? Or are the big name fighters genuinely scared?
You can only be respected if you defeat top level opponents as otherwise all GGG is doing, is defeating inferior opposition in style.
How many top level fighters has he defeated? Fighters that will go down in history as leading fighters of their generation?
He is too good, i dont see nobody him beating him at 160, hes getting old, if he wants to chase greatness hes gona have to make a move
If he really thinks he can make 154 safely like they say they can, then he should move down to 154 since its really hot right now, i think at 168 hes too small
But imagine GGG announcing hes coming down to 154!!!!
Duckers of GGG
Sergio Martinez
Felix Sturm
Hassan N'Dkam
Miguel Cotto
Canelo Alvarez
Billy Saunders
Daniel Jacobs.
Ofcourse he is too good. One of the best ever.
He isn't top 25 in the last 25 years as some ESPN journalists think.
But he's the best MW right now walking the planet.
Decent following, but him being PPV star and all that, he can't sell it himself.
He's a damn fine fighter, but the opportunities for him both legacy and financially might be drying out.
I think it's a mix of people staying away from the challenge of fighting him, and his team overestimating what he brings to the bargaining table.
I like him quite a bit.
I agree. It's a shame. I heard journalists say to David Haye that his last two opponents weren't nothing compared to him and he replied "Why show what i'm about now and make elite fighters not want to get in the ring with me?" He's right. GGG is poorly advised unfortunately

Nah i'm with you on that, he is too good. Couple that with the fact that although he is crowd pleasing he doesn't have a huge following and doesn't bring much money to the table. A lot of risk with very little reward.
Finally someone who understands boxing. The boxers have too much power, if the officials say they have to fight they should fight or their licenses be revoked. It put great boxers like GGG out of pocket just because he doesn't wanna be a piece of **** to sell fights.
I know there are fighters out there who will get in ring with him I don't doubt that. Fighters are fighters. I'm talking about all these elite big names ignoring him. Why? Because if they lose to him they will lose their reputation, and losing means their future fights will make less money. That's why Canelo vacated and all these other guys pretend he doesn't exist. He's TOO good. which is a shame. Am I wrong?

I don't think he has a chance. But you said nobody wants it with him and I pointed out somebody who does. Andy Lee also said he would fight him but then lost to BJS. I'm sure he'd like another crack at a title still

The Eubanks are the most deluded people on planet earth.. and be honest, do you think he has a chance?

Nobody wants it with him? Isn't Eubank calling him out

Elite fighters as in perhaps you should state specifics as to who you think are elite. Only about a couple of NSB fans think he has cleaned out his division and only about 4 other people believe that a boxer should move up in weight to find challenges.
Okay.. so who do you think would beat him? Why does Cotto pretend he doesnt exist? Why did Canelo vacate his belt to avoid fighting him.. what does he have to do to get a elite fighter?
he's the undisputed champion at 164!
What has that got to do with anything? Does nobody want to try take it from him? Why do fighters always make excuses? I wanna see him vs elite fighters but none of them seem to want it with him..
