GGG didn't want it with Ward! He chose to pursue Cotto and Canelo, who fought each other @ 155. I don't blame him, because they're both bigger PPV draws, but don't change history. The 164 CW request was worse than Canelo's 165 request to Chavez Jr. Ward moved up and became the LHW Champion! GGG fought Dominic Wade and Kell Brook. It is what it is!
Yes, Ward became the LHW champion. But there is something that is really relevant and needs to be clear: Ward was given the decision, he actually LOST.
he doesnt need to. he beat jacobs, which is a better/bigger version of lara.
I like canelo and i like ggg even more so im happy i will finally see this great fight.
Having said that, saying Jacobs is a better versión of Lara just shows you dont understand the sport at all. Are you a troll or just a racist? was Mayweather a smaller versión of Mike Tyson also? Please explain
An Olympic gold medal puts him above Wilder (who got a bronze medal).
His record speaks about AJ´s power and the medale speaks about his boxing skills. I´m not excited by the HW division anyway and i think every "top" fighter in the division needs to prove something because apart from Wladimir, they all need to prove themselves. And Wladimir should retire already.
I actually think Brook would beat Jacobs. Brook showed he has a great ouch resistance and he is a far better boxer than Jacobs.
I really like Jacobs the guy, great person, but he is getting stoped. I just hope he doesnt get really hurt.
Don't be tough on yourself.
I'm a native English speaker, and I have to ask my share of questions about the language.
I see you're new here. Enjoy the site.
Thanks bro, i´ve been reading the site for a long time but i just created my account. It´s nice to be able to discuss about this sport with people since it´s not nearly as popular as soccer or tenis in Argentina. It´s a shame that so many people are so fundamentalists with their opinions and which fighters they like instead of apreciating the sport. It´s like music, you can enjoy reggae, rock, funk, jazz etc. Also it saddens me to read people arguing about PPV numbers, purses and money, the fans should make it about legacy and sport and they are contributing to the idea that "boxing is a business", let that to the souless promoters, fans should take the sport back instead of letting it die.
All in all, massive respect to Brook.
He has hearth and he has brains. Its stupid to go blind to please stupid people. Only haters want that to happen. A true fan dislikes those kind of stories a la Paul williams.
Whoever doesnt agree it was a robbery is just biased. Im not that much of a Pac fan but he got robbed. Any other top welter destroys Horn. Even Algieri. Pac needs to KO him in a rematch and retire
STERNLY bro, it's a word, look it up!
Keep hating while I'm out in the cold of night giving hot tomato soup to peaceful eastern-European refugees.
Maybe you can finally get laid that way.
If you give the real numbers for those fights in the order they happened, this what you get: 900k, 500k, 260k.
That's not good for Canelo, not good at all.
That´s exactly how it must be seen. His numbers are decreasing.
Everybody is talking about the Canelo-GGG fight, and Canelo´s image is getting worse each day. He needs GGG.
Some stupid people say GGG is ducking Canelo because he does not sign the contract.
To those people: Canelo offered GGG 10M for a fight at 155 pounds a year from the day they did the offer. GGG said NO.
now, a few months from that, he is being offered 15M and the fight at 160. ¿Duck or inteligent answer to the first offer?.
Canelo is clearly the A side, but GGG deserves a decent cut of the PPV. In my opinion, GGG should take the 15M and a 35% of the PPV.
He can then ask for whatever he wants after he breakes Canelo´s souls.
Chavez is going to literally end up paying and owing canelo just to fight him because he won't make weight lol.
Isn't it a million dollars for every pound he is overweight? His training camp really is going to be a weight loss program.
Jr is going to fat camp for this one.
PAULIES FACE GOT BEAT UP ACTUALLY AND HIS LIP WAS BUSTED.... BUT REGARDLESS EVEN IN HIS PRIME PAULIE WAS A BUM COMPARED TO MAYWEATHER.... EVEN AT 40 MAYWEATHER IS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN WHAT PAULIE WAS IN HIS BUM ASS PRIME....

How horny do you get with Mayweather? Sharing your TMT P*rn colection and stuff. Also write properly, you might sound less stupid if you stop writting in caps.
Canelo is done fighting top threats. Why would he when he has an endless supply of mediocre UK fighters that he can feast on and his fans boys will spend their money to watch the mismatches.
Because Canelo´s rep and stock goes down as each crappy fight goes by.
His time of milking his status is running out, fans are getting tired.
a fight that everyone agrees could've gone either way is a "robbery"?
When a fighter wins a fight and the judges give the desicion to the other fighter, then that´s a robbery.
It´s not about what people said could happen, it´s about what happens, but then again, it´s Kovalev´s fault for being a Russian fighting a guy from USA in his soil.
USA: *****ng things up since always
Roy Jones Jr is an all time great. I think we should judge fighters by how good they were in their prime and around their prime. Roy Jones should have retired a long time ago, love the guy and hate to see him get hurt. There is nothing to win by fighting, stick to the comentator gig and enjoy life.
Canelo, the idea of being the best by fighting the best is fighting them in their prime. Thats why if horn KOs Manny it wont mean the same than when Márquez KOed him. But i am happy the fight finally got made even tough i think we are seing GGGs demise, he can still beat Canelo. Golovkin should spar 1000 rounds beetwen now and september t keep active
The core boxing community doesn't care for this fight. The core MMA community doesn't care for this fight. The only ones who want to see this fight are the idiots on both sides of the fence who don't know s hit about boxing or MMA.
Not much more than that needed yo he said but ill finish your sentence with this: those idiots are many and they have money
Ortiz has the skills and Rios has the balls. I think we will see how balls beat skills in this fight. I hope so, i would love to see the smile on Rios face after stopping the man he hates. Rios may suck as a fighter but is fun to watch and listen.
Hearthless Ortiz going down!
Anything would have been better than quiting, except from taking an ovbious dive. He knew he could not handle anything that Lomachenko brought to the table and that´s logical as Loma is a future HOF with insaine skills. He quit before taking unecesary damage, wich was smart but fans dont like that. In boxing, your fans "love you" but want to see you get hurt... I hope he bounces back with some good wins, the sport needs exiting fighters.
Forget about Broner. He has finally been exposed as the fringe contender he is. Everyone with a belt @140 or 147 beats him.
He will never be at the top again.
Floyd Mayweather becoming a promoter is the worst thing that can happen to boxing. Mark my words, Old ass Arum will pass away and we wont feel the difference.
