GGG is playing with the cards he's been dealt. As long as he stays at MW he controls his destiny, like it or not. He has what fans want to see. Devastating power with a seek and destroy style. I think he will clean out the division and do so with such flair that others will be forced to come to him. Kid Chocolate, perhaps Arthur Abraham, will be entertaining.
Keep in mind that the masses are not hard core fight fans. They just want a little escape from their lives on the weekend with their families/friends. They are what keeps the world turning around. Marketing to this audience pays all the bills. As long as guys like GGG knock out everyone they face fans will tune in. That is the power.
Ward needs to be exciting but he's not. He hits then holds, effective but boring. He has pressure to move up and face Adonis Stevenson and Kovalev. He's trying to get GGG to move up. But GGG is betting that his crowd pleasing style will be enough for the masses to soon put pressure on Ward to come down to him. GGG would go down for the right fights, Floyd will not be drawn in at 154.
I'm not suggesting that GGG is going to be arguably the best ever at middleweight, someday perhaps. I'm suggesting that he has a master plan and as long is he knocks out everyone put before him people will watch. He needs only to unify the titles and fighter will soon come to him. That's smart business, when you have the power to dictate terms. Look at Floyd. GGG knows what he's doing. A year or two from now everyone will be eyeing him for big money. The hype machine coupled with actual talent and knockout finishes will make everyone rich.... They just need to keep focus and not let things go to their head. Just one man's opinion..... "Rome is the mob" please them...... Feed the Golden Goose.....
