I think its a great fight to be honest, but GGG haters seem like they have had a fire lit under their ass and are now claiming GGG is ducking Charlo.
Who would you rather see him fight. BJS, jacobs or charlo? I dont see how this fight is more important than unifying or rematching jacobs.
This is how the cookie crumble am afraid. When GGG also came to prominence everyone and their mama was accused of ducking him when he didn’t bring much to the table. Now am not saying GGG wasn’t ducked but the noise at that time is nothing like I have seen up to that point and never since.
I would like to see Charlo fight Jacobs then I'dd like to see the winners fight each other. I'd like to see the losers fight as well.
I expect the winner of GGG/Canelo to fight Saunders next.
Would rather see GGG unify for all the belts with Saunders. Charlo can fight Jacobs or Andrade in the meantime, then after those fights GGG and Charlo can meet up.
OK.. sorry, man, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around this triumvirate thing.. I'm taking it you're not the member of the trio who told me yesterday (or was it the day before?) that they didn't enjoy watching fights? This ish is confusing, man...:rofl:
Oh yeah. And good post BTW.
lol blame all the people who would lose their ****ing minds when we'd write "we" instead of "i." we're better off just pretending to be one person from now on.
i think what he meant is that he'd love to see the fight happen. it'd be good for boxing, it'd be interesting to see who would win, etc. even if watching the actual fight isn't exactly his first choice of what he'd do to have fun.
Try to keep in mind that obsessed fans on a message board are not indicative of the general boxing audience.
Boxing nerds, and I include myself in that, would be fascinated by GGG and Charlo and many of us would love to see the fight ASAP.
But casual boxing fans don't know who Charlo is yet, nor have they had any time to develop a desire to see GGG vs. Charlo.
If there are people claiming GGG is ducking Charlo, that's ridiculous. You shouldn't be accused of ducking because you took a BIGGER fight. The public would be outraged if anything other than GGG vs. Canelo II was next. That fight has to happen.
Canelo vacating to avoid GGG and then fighting Smith, that's a duck. You're avoiding the fight everybody wants to see to take a fight nobody wants to see because you don't think you can win the fight everybody wants to see.
But GGG taking the rematch everyone wants to see is what's best for boxing.
If GGG wins and is then ordered to face Charlo, and he vacates to avoid losing to him, then you can call duck. But calling duck right now would be ludicrous.

Oh yeah. And good post BTW, although I'd be just as happy to see GGG attempt unification with Saunders as to fight Charlo.

It's an intriguing fight that I'd like to see. Its quite obvious that some in here want to see Golovkin get beat, and if he wins theyll say Charlo didnt have one good win at middle and barely beat Trout. So its a no lose situation for them.
Why wouldn’t people want to see GGg / Charlo it’d be a great fight and probably the fight that gives Gennady the most problems
But if Gennady beats Canelo he should fight Saunders next
lol that's the new narrative?
Charlo has done jack at 160. Meanwhile Golovkin is gonna rematch Canelo and possibly a Jacobs rematch or BJS unification if he prevails. Charlo needs to target guys like Saunders or Jacobs to position himself to face GGG by next year.
I voted Saunders so GGG can get all the belts. A Jacobs rematch would be my second choice. Jermall is good but he has yet to beat a really good middleweight. Jemall's next middleweight opponent has been KOed by the guy Jacobs fights next. Let Jemall fight Andrade or Jacobs and fight GGG if he wins.
Charlo is a worthy opponent but I don’t think GGG is ducking if he passes. It’s 2 fighters at different stages in their careers. We’ve seen this happen in the past. It’s the Mayweather Margarito situation all over again. GGG is looking for the biggest possible fights out there and Charlo is gonna have to wait his turn.
Yea i actually want to see GG-Charlo more than the canelo rematch. With gg-canelo- you pretty much know what you are going to get and im not thrilled.
Charlo is bigger and hungrier than canelo and i know he is a real threat to the current GG. Canelo has all the promotional backing but he isnt a true threat at 160.
Gg-Charlo has that intrigue.
