    They said it through their own LIPS


    "I ain't fighting GGG at 164!" - Andre Ward


    "I ain't fighting GGG at 168" - Andre Ward
    Links FOR ANY OF THESE please (especially Ward)

    Ward would have killed GGG
    GGG made no effort whatsoever to move up.
    NONE.

    He was chasing money
    That's why he spent so long staying in a dead div
    Keep on winning and eventually he would land a payday off of some other fighters name (Nelo).

      Not really a good luck or claim.

      But he's definitely a HOF guy and might be top 3 all time for MW but if he is an ATG he's probably on the way far end of just barely qualifying and a lot of barely qualifying is down to his amateur career being incredible.
      His prime years were spent fighting guys no one ever heard of.
      Had he kept his promise, he would have more L's.
      An ''incredible'' AMATEUR career
      Who chases that kind of dream

        And he did it 3 times when he waited for the 3rd pay pay then did not even show up to fight. Should be a huge stain on his legacy.

            He is tied for all-time middleweight title defenses. That says a lot. In addition he was thoroughly avoided in his prime. Nevertheless he was robbed in at least one of the Canelo fights. The problem with him is that after the Canelo rematch he took a lot of useless fights when he signed up with dazn.

                This is one of your best fughin posts
                Tip my hat to you
                I was a fan of GGG but that was long ago
                When I realized he had become a puppy , a puppy follows the person who feeds them
                He wasted away like a fool chasing Canelo like a puppy chases his master
                Instead of making his own way , securing his own legacy
                That was enough for me
                I thought he won the first encounter and was robbed but ffs life goes on but not with GGG
                He continued chasing just like that cute little puppy
                Boo Boo comes to mind and a few others
                Securing your own legacy is where it’s at , not chasing someone and hoping for the best

                  ggg is overrated trash. His resume sucks, as does his skills and his desire to be an ATG. He just wants a payday and lies a lot to his fanbase.

                    I applaud the bold

                    Just know, I never ''attack'' a fan of a guy unless I'm ''attacked''
                    I may ''attack'' what a fan claims (to be expected if a person if a true fight fan)

                    That 1st fight was......strange
                    Nelo gave GGG way too much respect (while flaunting some high level ring generalship)
                    GGG was dictating the pace but was just headhunting
                    (I would not have been disappointed it it were a draw)

                    Clearly I'm not a GGG fan and I am a Nelo fan
                    I can still call it like I saw it
                    GGG's right hand not really being a factor
                    His jab was a legit fcking weapon, though.
                    Nelo wasn't trying to take control of the fight, which, IMHO, made it look as if he didn't want to win ?

                    It was strange
