    Who else is there for these people other than GGG and Canelo? They won't fight one another. Eubank vs Charlo was supposed to happen last year. It was never made. Charlo ignored him, which is typical for someone calling himself a lion. Too much barking, not enough bite.

      It's funny, the haters call him a bum, say he only fights bums, but they all want him as an opponent for their fighter. He's a bum--but goes life and death with Canelo...so what does that make Canelo? If he were such a bum that would have been an easy fight for Canelo, but he lost both fights in the eyes of many a sports writer, fighter and fan. Canelo fans cite his Jacobs win while downplaying GGG's win over Danny. Charlo fans cite his win over D-Chenko as his best, while downplaying GGG's win over a fresher version of D-Chenko. Clown ass casuals do the same thing with Floyd. Praise his as TBE but call all of his opponents bums and C-rate fighters.

        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.
        Well said man.
        I think that is the sad but true situation that's going on really.

          Yeah, I think he can't hang at the top anymore really.
          The guy hasn't fought in such a long time.
          But I guess he will still fight this Myrota (however you spell the name) guy next.

            He hasn’t officially retired and he’s still the #1 ranked Middleweight in the world. He is also just a highly recognizable name in the world of boxing.

              Well said!!
              As of late I have gotten tired of Jermall. However, apparently Canelo and Jermall is ready to go now, announcement should be coming soon from what I hear

                this hes almost 40 now and they saw that gift win over Derevyanchenko that was almost 3 years ago. GGG is ripe for the picking for one of these guys to pad on their record

                  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's still ''a name'' and he's still boxing.

                    The good thing about GGG's age is he's been well preserved. Not too many wars and a ton of KOs vs weak comp.

                      He's not lost badly so why not. People wanted to fight former flyweight Pac at 42
