Why is GGG still in fighters' mouths???

[RENE JUNIOR]

He is so old that is not perceived as a threat anymore, but he is still a big name. And a world champion still even if I don't agree that he beat Deveryanchenko.

Well said man.
Yeah more than anything it must be for the sake of his name because you are right, he really isn't a threat anymore for any of the top guys.

[RENE JUNIOR]

If he chooses to hang around then fair play to them. He's obviously not as dangerous as he once was, but getting in the ring with him even at his age is invaluable experience.

Good point.
I can see that definitely.

as old as he is, i will still favor him over the likes of andrade and munguia..
charlo 50-50 maybe..

Chris Eubank Jr recently mentioned that GGG is number 1 on his list.
Jaime Munguia team has expressed interest in fighting him not to mention Canelo for a trilogy.
The list goes on.

My question is, Why do these guys want to fight him?

He has been out the ring for VERY LONG, he is hitting 40 years old if not older. He is WAY out of his prime etc.

I definitely respect what GGG has done in the ring, but I humbly think he loses against the champs in his respective division.

Your thoughts.

he is a current active champion who happens to bring good cash... i will still favor him over most at 160 tbh..

I wouldn't even favor him over Andrade at this point, MAYBE over Munguia.

And GGG knows he can't fair against these guys which is why he has been very low key and quiet.
He knows he is not close to in his prime and wants to play it safe imho.

Jake Paul showed you the formula. It's about clout.

The fight with GGG was within Eubank's grasp, but forgot where he put his pen when signing time came. Turned out he and his father wanted $5 million, five times more than what Golovkin was getting per fight at that time.

[Clegg]

Because he's unlikely to fight them. They know that if they had spent the last 2 years pushing for Andrade or Charlo, they might have got a title shot and lost. Instead they call out the unavailable guy while waiting for Andrade/Charlo to move up and leave them a vacant belt to target.

I think Munguia is hungry and wants tough fights, but his team don't believe in him, especially since that Hogan fight. Eubank Jr has never wanted to fight the best, I'm surprised he's even facing Williams who is legit top 10.

Easy. Dudes vulnerable and he has a name. AND he has a belt. He’s almost 40. His punch resistance is going to start going away. He won’t be able to hang at the top for that much longer.

Yep, he's been inactive for well over a year I think and probably hasn't fought a live dog since that russian guy or wherever he was from back in 2019. Thing is GGG is the only money man left in the division and so anyone fighting him will be making a career high payday.

The Canelo trilogy fight is exactly that and still the biggest money fight Nelo can make at this time. It's an odd situation but one where GGG is still a name...which actually shows how poor the divisions 154-168 are these days.
