Mayweather ducked Margarito. Andre Ward retired to avoid Beterbiev. Why is it so hard for you people to believe that GGG is clearly ignoring Charlo, and that Loma's franchise title is to protect him from Haney?
Yeah, fair enough I guess, I think he couldn't have done much more whilst he was still being grown under HBO but the last maybe 4 years or so I think he was in a position to largely choose who he fought and there's definitely been a few fights in there that just weren't necessary at all.
Damn right
And I liked the GGG but can’t stand the fact that he’s waiting around for one guy
Hated Pac for doing that but at least he gave us great fights in between
avoid beterbiev?
lol bruh he was a nobody when ward was fighting. ward retired in 2017 and his last two fights were on pay per view. beterbiev didn't warrant that kind of fight in 2017, certainly not to the point where you'd say ward retired to avoid him. that's just nonsense and you should understand that.
Bad luck or bad politics , still equals wasted time imo
These guys can push harder , as proven when they want something , it’s as they wish
Can’t blame them when they’re still making a chit load of money fighting whoever

His best years were well behind him before Canelo was ever a possibility, man. Dude was near 34 years old before he got big enough for anyone worth money to care. Probably part of the reason he did waste so much time waiting on Canelo.
Main things he could have done different were fighting BJS and fighting Derevyanchenko instead of Vanes, but honestly it was too little to make much difference anyway. Oh. And not fighting Rolls. That ish was just a waste of time. GGGs just one of them 'what if' stories.
Rest of the criticisms levelled at him are mainly bad luck, and bad politics.

problem is floyd had many fights before that to fight margaritro and he didn't.
You're lying. Many means "a large number of." Floyd only had two welterweight fights before buying out his contract. Mitchell to test out the weight, having just won a 140 pound title in his last fight, and Judah, which was a much bigger fight than Margarito. Margarito didn't even have a recognized title at the time and Judah was a much bigger name and much bigger draw.
he accepted less money to fight sharmba mitchell and zab judah.
You're lying again. He fought for less money for those fights than Arum offered for Margarito LATER, but he was guaranteed a minimum of $6 million for Judah and Arum wasn't offering that much for Margarito at that point.
then demanded 20 million to fight hoya to fight marg and top rank said no we cant do that.
So he bought out his contract and got $25 million to fight De La Hoya instead of the $20 he asked Top Rank for. You're just a Floyd hater falling for the Top Rank propaganda. The facts clearly show he would have been an idiot to stay with Top Rank.
he then accepted 10 million shortly after to fight hoya so yeah he clearly wanted no part of him otherwise why would he do those things?
$10 million was the filed purse. $25 million is what he actually made. Get your facts straight.
These are really bad examples.
Mayweather wanted out of his Top Rank contract. Had nothing to do with Margarito. Arum just used Margarito to try to brainwash fans since Mayweather was leaving him.
Andre Ward retired because his insurance policy was going to pay more than any fight he was being offered.
GGG and Charlo are on different sides of the street and GGG is trying to get a rematch with Canelo.
If Haney wanted the Lomachenko fight, he should have signed with Lomachenko's promoter.

Anything.....these threads might as well be empty
so you want to start posting the court records? is that enough proof for you? or is it a kangaroo court? fake news? etc...ward would never duck according to you! should i believe fanboy curtis or the court records that show how he wouldn't fight these guys? how hbo and his own promoter said so. how he lost 3 times in court. hmmm

Fights that should logically happen but don't, then one or the other must be ducking. Or it may be both, like when no offers are made from either camp.
Why is it so hard for you people to believe that GGG is clearly ignoring Charlo
Probably because Charlo is 10 levels below GGG? He got schooled by Korobov
records showed ward had fought guys like froch and kessler amongst others....went through the super 6
while bute sat on the sideline and fought bums...
ward said "go beat someone worth a damn and prove something to us and you can get a fight"
first time he stepped up he got knocked out by froch...end of your dreamland fairytale...goodbye fgt
oh then there was ward contacting team lil g for a fight and turned down within minutes...not even a "maybe"..."lets talk later"....or "weve got this lemiuex fight but maybe after that we can talk"...it was "no we not interested have fun at 175 goodbye please"
stfu u fgt clown...nobody buys your BS except the same group of sad gggroupies
daggum cries every time one of his hypejobs gets KTFO or spanked
Well again Vanes was only there because of Canelo testing positive...how do people get on GGG for that and not Canelo lol..it's crazy honestly...really is.
what a excuse-making idiot, seriously...
the very second Billy-Joe Saunders said that he would be available in June, there was no other fight to make..... that was an OBVIOUS no-brainer
Munguia Spike and Vanes..... should never have been mentioned
Saunders was running around with Golovkin's " dream "..... calling him Pvssy-Borat..... and presenting Golovkin with pens at his pressers, to replace the ones he kept losing
that was a 100% duck :lol1:
Golovkin talked about becoming the middleweight king for 12 years
Canelo did it in 12 months LMAO
#excusemakingmuppet
I addressed the 154-168 comment in another post...I don't really see the pushback there against it...again, all it is really saying is 'hey we will fight anyone from these weights'...guys say stuff like that all the time...that doesn't mean that if you don't fight some random guy from those weights, that you are full of sh.it? Lol idk just makes no sense to me bro.
I would add that I think a lot of the 'hate' on GGG on this site (and some others) that I've seen makes very little sense to me...maybe some of his fans went overboard on him and that bothered those who don't like him...but yeah most of the critiques GGG gets on here are just way emotional and over the top really...imho anyway.
Since the first Nelo fight...he fought Vanes (because Nelo got popped), then Nelo, then Rolls, then SD...I don't really see how anyone can really hate on that run man.
I don't also really see specifically where else he could have gone in the time he was waiting on Canelo, to get the big legacy fight.
Who was out there for him that he missed out on while waiting on Canelo? Even now, what would be his biggest legacy fight? I want to see him mix it up with guys at 168 and 160...but SD could be better than Andrade and Charlo...and he fought him.
And the point there is to say that for it to be a legacy fight...it has to be a really proven guy...as talented in many ways as they are, Andrade and Charlo aren't themselves proven enough to be 'legacy' fights right now.
Best thing legacy wise for GGG would probably be going to 168 and maybe 175 if he could...Charlo and/or Andrade could be good options too...but that would depend on how well those guys do after that fight.
lil-G's fukwit fanbase... making ridiculous childish excuses for him since... well, forever :lol1:
you mean like court records proving ward didn't want to fight the guys hbo wanted him to fight such as bute and ggg? records that show he prefered to make a fight with dmitri sartison? :nana:

Canelo would make a mess of GGG right now
I’d lay money on Canelo ko’ing GGG by the 10th round
GGG unfortunately has wasted his best years waiting around like a fool

Rest of the criticisms levelled at him are mainly bad luck, and bad politics.
ward made like 7 mil for the 2nd kov fight....at that point he isnt going to take less money for challenging fights....the kov fights both sort of bombed from a sales perspective...i dont think anyone was in a rush to push his pay to 8-10 mil a fight, for big/challenging fights, which beterbiev would have been from a pure fight perspective....but beterbiev didnt even have the name or exposure of kovalev at that point...if someone had said "weve got a 10 mil paycheck for you to fight beterbiev" im willing to bet ward would have likely done it....but that was highly unlikely....beterbiev wasnt big enough to warrant that....wards ppv hadnt done well...and ward wasnt taking a pay cut unless you were giving him an easy opponent......retirement made sense....
Why are there never any corroborative unbiased links to support such banalities ?????
Haters thinking their words mean anything when unaccompanied by proof.
you mean like court records proving ward didn't want to fight the guys hbo wanted him to fight such as bute and ggg? records that show he prefered to make a fight with dmitri sartison? :nana:
Thanks man good posts...nice chatting with you some...I think Ward ended up facing Chad Dawson next after the Dirrell stuff...so not a bad fight there...I think the weight stuff in that fight was unfortunate but it is what it is...felt bad for Dawson but he signed the contract.
I thought Chad for both the titles and shortly after he dropped it and fought la Bomba but that's my shotty memory telling me that haha . Good chatting with u too

Yeah I mean Canelo got an impressive KO of Kov...but even in that fight, he just showed again that he is never really active enough...I didn't score that fight but watching it live, there were no obvious clear rounds for Nelo...he seemed to be getting outworked almost every round.
Nelo's shots appeared to be stronger than Kov's in that fight though too, which was surprising/impressive....GGG is getting older and appears on the decline, while Canelo appears to be improving...so yeah all that bodes well for Nelo, net/net.
I disagree there in general with your comments...but those are your opinions, and we are all entitled to an opinion.
