DISCLAIMER**** This includes past, present & future world champions. So It could be 5 if jacobs ends up winning the IBF title soon.
WOW that is disappointing, Canelo at 28 has faced 9. :lol1:
TBE at 36 years old already faced 18 :usa:
That really puts things into perspective :feedback:
Lol, don't even, don't fkcn even start questioning Canelos resume.
His shîts all over g-string's, all day everyday.
If you think that old fighters, smaller fighters, inactive fighters makes a good resume, probably.
How much quality opposition has G-string fought this decade?
Less than Canelo's catchweights, I guarantee that.
How many quality opponents who were active, in their prime, in the same division and not at a catchweight has Canelo fought?
Both canelo and ggg are good fighters but how good is up for debate, both of them. If you are an unbiased fight fan you know and admit that by their own choices or not or by circumstance they both have alot to prove. What ever happens in this fight they should both move on and fight other top competition if not and they start with a trilogy nonsense its obvious they both are scamming naive fans.
How much quality opposition has G-string fought this decade?
Less than Canelo's catchweights, I guarantee that.
Who has Canelo fought that wasnt at a catch? Liam Smith, and who else?
164 is a bitch move.
I'm sorry were all other worthy challengers also on PED suspension?
I'm glad you feel that way about catchweight. So, if we take away all the catchweight fights, how many fight a has Canelo has this decade? 2? 3?
Ward was the champ, he was A-side.
Demanding the fight at 164 was a bitch move, especially after all the crying he did at Canelo's 155 weight.
Ward was the champ of what exactly? He fought Paul Smith on June 20th @ 171¾lbs. He wasn't even a SMW champ at that time. GGG made his offer 2 weeks after that fight, yet it took Andre a month to respond after GGG moved on & was finalizing the Lemieux fight. There was no belt on the line so yes, a catch-weight was in order.
Canelo held the MW belt & GGG was his mandatory. You can't demand a CW for either. Golovkin got 30% split & then 45% split for the fights vs Canelo & also made them at 160. Guess it worked out for him?
He's the B-side, asking for 50-50 is ridiculous. Every b-side fighter has always conceded to the A-side demands. You hear people calling Ward "97k"?
A ridiculous offer that he knew Ward wouldn't accept,
50/50 split and a catchweight?
50/50 isn't a legit offer?! :rofl:
Only idiots call him that, get #'s from the same sources & seems his ppv/gate sales matched up pretty evenly with Ward even though Andre fought in Vegas in what should of been a much more demanded fight.
Kov v Ward 1 -- 165k ppv - 10,066 tix sold - $3.3M gate
Kov v Ward 2 -- 130k ppv -- 6,366 tix sold - $2.2M gate
GGG v Lemieux - 153k ppv - 20,568 tix sold - $2M gate
GGG v Jacobs --- 170k ppv - 19,939 tix sold - $3.7M gate
GGG v Canelo 1 - 1.3M ppv - 17,318 tix sold - $27.1M gate
GGG v Canelo 2 - ???
So then why didn't Bumlovkin fight Kell Brook @ 154? That would have been fair, right?
Brook asked for the fight, no? Why leave that part out? He wasn't chasing guys from lower divisions other than the two that held one of his MW belts hostage. Perhaps Floyd, but who wasn't? He was trying to garner big fights, guess it worked!
Please remind us of how many 168lb'ers Bumlovkin has faced...
I can tell you how many offers to 168 pounders that were turned down.
Edwin Rodriguez
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr
Carl Froch
Fedor Chudinov
Andre Ward
Read my previous post about Ward. G-string was scared.
Andrade, Charlo and Derevyanchenko called him out but he picked Vanes. But lets keep blaming Canelo for that.
So a 50/50 at a catchweight is a ridiculous offer, but an offer made when you already have a signed fight isn't? :lol1:
Andrade and Derev called him out, Charlo didn't. Not at that time (surprise, surprise).
You really think GGG ducked them? Andrade has a history of calling out fighters and then not fighting them. Derevyanchenko I'm pretty sure you hadn't heard of until May but now he's the guy GGG ducked. :lol1:
Call him G-string as much as you want. It won't change the fight that Golovkin been pulling Canelo's hoe card since 2015 both inside and outside the ring.
He made your Mexican hero look like a straight up b#tch. Thus your insecurity that's showing in this thread.
A ridiculous offer that he knew Ward wouldn't accept,
50/50 split and a catchweight?
If it quacks like a duck
Khan, Smith > Vanes and 12 years of beating bums.
50/50 isn't a legit offer?! :rofl:
Vanes> serving a PED suspension
I'm comprehending everything just fine. G-string is a duck. Plain and simple. 4 world champions fought in a 12 year career. There is no excuse for that. No matter how hard you G-string cuckboys try to excuse it.
"147-168 anyone can get it" were his quotes. Why ask for a catchweight? Why complain about Canelo's made up weights and then ask for a 164 non-existant weight limit with Ward?
fuck outta here with that shit.
He's the B-side, asking for 50-50 is ridiculous. Every b-side fighter has always conceded to the A-side demands. You hear people calling Ward "97k"?
No, GGG was & is the A side vs Ward, where's your name for his ppv sales in his biggest fight? But GGG still made a fair offer knowing Andre couldn't draw much interest himself, he still was willing to take on the challenge at middle ground. Much more fair than Canelo's to GGG! Switch the shoe on the foot. Why did Canelo want a made up weight vs GGG even though he was the MW Champ at the time & Golovkin was his mandatory? Not meet in the middle at 157.5, not split the proceeds more equitably. Why offer 10% even though Mandatory deserved much more? Yet you say GGG's offer wasn't fair to Andre? WTF?
You asked why GGG fought those 3 & I gave you the reasons. You keep changing the goal posts.
Btw, the quote was 154 to 168, not 147 but hey, why start getting your facts right now?
By 2015 he was already headling HBO events and getting called out by Ward.
In 2018 he's fighting Vanes Martyrosian.
Don't give me this BS that he couldn't get fights.
In 2015 he was chasing Cotto and then Canelo who vacated to avoid him.
Vanes was a pointless fight, i agree, but let's not forget why he fought him: Canelo getting caught on juicing.
That he couldn't get fights isn't bs, it's a well documented fact. Sturm, Sergio Martinez, Cotto and Canelo all blatantly avoided him.
As for Ward, he 'sent' the offer after signed GGG the Lemieux fight. Correction, Ward said he did, we never seen the actual offer.
In 2013, at a meeting at hbo headquarters Golovkin said he wants to fight ward. Andre, who was at that meeting as well said no.
Bullshit. He was scared of Ward. 147-168 my ass
So Andrade, Charlo and Derevyanchenko were also on Clenbuterol?
8 Years in NO WARD
12 years in FOUR champions and fighting Vanes
PATHETIC
Like I said, he made an offer.
Those guys must not have been available when Canelo was fighting Khan and Liam Smith, either, huh?
GGG's first fight in the United States was in 2012
GGG VS.
Ousmanu Adama Feb 1, 2014, Salle des Etoiles, Monte Carlo, Monaco
Daniel Geale July 26, 2014, Madison Square Garden, USA
Marco Antonio October 18 2014, StubHub Center, California
He was way past fighting in Kazakhstan at that point.
AGAIN, after 8 years as a PRO, and having fought in the USA, headlining HBO events, why wasn't he fighting Ward?
It seems you're not able to comprehend or weigh situations.
You're listing Canelo's fight vs Mayweather as some step up by him? It's the #1 money in the sport. Both GGG & even Ward wanted that fight & both were willing to give up more weight than Saul did in order to get it. It's Canelo's Mexican backing that got him the opportunity & elevated his name exposure. Everyone in boxing wanted that fight, it's what you call fortunate! Not some badge of honor!
The question you should be asking Saul is when he was the WBC MW champ why wasn't he fighting GGG? Why fight Khan, Smith & Chavez that all made him less money than Golovkin did? Why drop his MW belt?
GGG made an offer to Ward, a 50/50 split & meet in the middle offer! What can't you understand about that? What fight offers has Canelo ever made that haven't worked out? 10% or Flat fee to GGG?
Fought Adama because Quillin (WBO MW Champ) turned down offer & wouldn't unify.
Fought Geale because he was a former 2x Champ that had even dropped the WBA in order to avoid GGG earlier. This was after JCC had turned down his offer for a big $ fight.
Fought Rubio to force WBC Mandatory position. This was after the IBF Champ Soliman had turned down his offer to unify.
3 Champs that turned him down in the same year! The reasons are pretty simple but you'd have to accept reality to understand the situations.
Canelo, 8 years into his pro career, at the age of 23 was fighting Mayweather.
Who was 97k fighting in 2014, 8 years into his pro career? Andre Ward? NOPE. Ousmanu Adama, Daniel Geale , Marco Antonio
Why wasn't 97k fighting Ward 8 years into his pro career?
In 2014 GGG had only been fighting in US for 2 years. Before that he was stuck with Universum back in Germany who wouldn't let him fight Sturm even though he was Sturm's mandatory.
Canelo was fighting on Mayweather's undercards because GBP was copromoting Floyd's fights plus he had a huge US based fanbase.
Golovkin would've killed for opportunities like that.
Lol at comparing him to Canelo who was getting the red carpet treatment from the get go.
LOL, I'm the one that doesn't get it? I'm not talking about the fight, there's another thread dedicated to that.
I'm talking about how terrible, how weak and how shitty goat-fucker's resume has been.
AGAIN, EIGHT 8 years into his pro career, why wasn't he fighting Ward.
12 years into his pro career why was he fighting Vanes instead of a worthy challenger?
He made an offer to Ward. Can't make him agree.
Why was he fighting Vanes...? One word...
