However, just like Terence Crawford. Gennady was avoided and ducked a lot by opponents in his career.
    Any links to support the "avoided" claims ?

      GGG is OLDER than Nelo.....If GGG was the goods, HE'D be the face of boxing. Far from it.

        Beating Janibek would equal beating Derevyanchenko so no he is not greater.

          - - U best win was getting dropped on U thick noggin.

          Craw can't draw flies, but GGG was so popular in the US that he had several lucrative endorsements and now the boxing czar of Kazakhstan. Canelo is so popular he's worth more than U mugs can count.

            All the top guys at 154 avoided GGG. including: Cotto, Canelo and Mayweather. Cotto wanted a 155 lbs catchweight. While Mayweather wouldn’t so much as fancy the opportunity of fighting him because he didn’t have to.

                    No he wasn't. It was a 6-6 fight and Derevyachenko got dropped, so he lost.

                    No different than Thurman vs Pacquiao. 6-6 fight, but the guy who hit the deck took the L and rightfully so.
