what's the point of moving to a division where he will not be at his best when there is only one opponent there for him, and that guy may be leaving the division now anyway? if he can unify the middleweight division then he will become a part of a great boxing tradition that includes the likes of hopkins, monzon and hagler. if he moves up now he will be remembered as just another middleweight titlist; the last few years of his career - prime years - will have been wasted.
May not end well for GGG...

Because he would have moved up a division, it's called having a SACK, it's that simple. Also, as I stated the MW division is **** compared to when those guys fought, he can have the same accomplishment it doesn't deserve nearly the same credit. Let's say Cotto gets stripped and GGG is the lineal MW champ, when your best names on your resume are Murray and Geale, it's an insult to mention the names you did. Move up if you want to prove yourself this isn't boxing from 30 years ago.
Seeing as how you are so willing to let Cotto fight GGG's leftovers with no criticism, you really are in no position to attack GGG for his decisions.Comment

You have the wrong idea, I don't have a hard on for GGG. I think he could be a great fighter, but I want him to prove it in the ring vs a A list opponent. I think that at his age and mileage (long amateur background) his window could slam shut at anytime. Before it does, I want to see if his talents are truly good enough to beat an A list opponent
What I don't like is for GGGs handlers to run their mouth about how they are willing to face anyone from 154-168 and it's 2plus years later and still no hoper after no hoperComment

You do realize that GGG has never said that no one will fight him? He has never accused another fighter of ducking him? He has never said that other fighters are afraid to fight him and in fact has stated that he does not believe that? Do you also realize that GGG has never called out Mayweather, he only answered a question that was asked of him?
Do you actually have any real comprehension of the English language and how to actually understand what people are saying or do you simply fill in your own meanings to suit your requirements?
I think that many people around here need to take a remedial reading course so that they can understand their own language properly.Comment

And the SMW division is worse than MW with no hope of improvement unless GGG moves up. How about giving GGG the time to unify the division and then move up when HE decides to do so? I'm sure if you wanted to finance a PPV fight between GGG and Ward to the tune of at least 10 million per fighter, they would be willing to talk. If not, why not STFU and let him run his career the way he wishes?

GGG is good... His resume is weak and there is nothing about beating a former 140lb champ named Miguel, that is going to make GGG an ATG. They better come up with another plan.Comment
