Kambosos fought Mickey Bey on the road, Lee Selby on the road, Teofimo Lopez on the road, Devin Haney twice in a row, and Lomachenko.
You can clown him for his losses (or his gift win over Hughes) if you want but it's silly to question his willingness to fight the best.
George is like an Aussie Khan, a high profile loser, seems to get all this status of his fluke win against Teo which was because of Teo being off not Kambosis, fighters at this level are always up for big fights.

He had to beat Mickey Bey in the US and Lee Selby in the UK just to get the Lopez fight in the first place.
Kambosos beat two former world titlists in their home countries and then beat the unified lineal lightweight champion of the world. You can try to nitpick it all you want and you can laugh at what happened afterwards, but it's a far greater accomplishment than the overwhelming majority of champions ever achieve. The man has earned his respect and he has earned the right to take an easy fight at 140 if he wants. He took seven tough fights in a row.
