          If that's it for Gennady, that was a memorable career. Thanks for the memories, and enjoy the hard earned fruits.

            You are pointing out an issue with 90% of boxers in the last decade. The best often don't want to fight the best. GGG offered Canelo a fight and Canelo threw a belt in the trash, said he was too small, etc etc, for years. Then when he had finally aged GGG a bit, he tried, and got beat, twice. GGG was legitimately robbed of two wins. And Canelo rode that fraudulent wave with Oscar paying the way, to superstardom.

            No one wanted to fight GGG in his prime. Those guys you make fun of on his resume were mostly good fighters, and many of them were badly damaged by GGG. Not sure if you actually watched him fight, but he demolished tough guys, many of whom had never been hurt and whose future career trajectory was almost certainly changed by GGG's beating. He could not be hurt and he just demolished guys. And he didn't play weight games.

            Compare that to Canelo. He always had the advantage, be it chemicals or weight games or paid judges. Cherry picked. Lost to the guys who were really good.....Floyd, GGG, and a good but not great fighter in Bivol beat the crap out of him. His career and greatness is mostly hype. Good not great fighter, great chin....resume full of weak belt holders, old guys and cherry picking. He is manly smoke and mirrors.

            And again, NO one wanted to fight GGG in his prime, that is a fact.

              It was fun when he was around. After the Murata and Canelo fights there were no real big fights for him especially taking the last as a loss.

              Still in his last fight against Canelo he made it competitive down the stretch.

                  Was a pleasure to watch him in his prime it’s outrageous he was robbed of that awesome victory in the first Canelo fight just the typical bs that boxing spews out but the real ones out there know GGG beat Canelo at least once. Funny how he went from avoided to the most targeted name in the business once he turned 36 and started to decline. There are plenty of haters out there and moronic boxing fans can say whatever they like but GGG was and is a HOF worthy fighter. At least he got that sweet final payday.

                    Except it is the truth. You obviously have a personal dislike of GGG and that is totally fine, you are entitled to your opinion. You have spent multiple lengthy posts belittling GGG as a fighter. GGG smashed good fighters. Canelo ducked him for years. Canelo's resume is mainly smoke and mirrors. He lost to Floyd, GGG, Bivol, along with a few other questionable decisions. Oscar paid well.

                    No one wanted to fight GGG in his prime. That isn't "concocting" anything. That actually happened.

                    This is all widely known stuff.

                      Name an active fighter with a better resume
                      I can see you're deflecting yet again for the millionth time but lets break that resume down none the less

                      GGG - 40 years old (unofficially lost to him in the first 2 fights)
                      Baldomir - 40 years old
                      Mosley - 40 years old
                      Kovalev - 36 year old drunk with contracted rehydration clause, out of ring legal issues and 6 weeks turnaround from previous fight
                      Khan - a welterweight
                      Jacobs - contracted rehydration clause in a 160lbs unification fight??
                      Trout - a fighter who went on to have 5 losses
                      Cotto - already lost 4 times when they fought and outweighed in the ring by approx 15-20lbs
                      Chavez Jr - absolute bum
                      Callum Smith - beat a shadow of Groves (just coming back from major shoulder surgery) for the title and was fortunate Eddie Hearn robbed Ryder from winning it
                      BJS - Didn't live the life of an athlete between fights and would routinely balloon up to over 200lbs
                      Plant - Fringe world level at best
                      Charlo - a career junior middleweight
                      Lara - lost against and slow heavy feet exposed
                      Mayweather - absolutely took him to school
                      Bivol - Emasculated and took Canelo's soul

                      Yeah, some resume that is...
