    Big names opponents like Canelo, Cotto, Mayweather he may never get a chance to fight, but the other top guys, he can.
    Andy Lee? You know Lee was gonna fight GGG but GGG pulled out cause his father died. Also Lee has said plenty of times that he wants GGG. Lee is a good testing the waters fight for JMW's coming up, not sure what it does for GGG. Jacobs may want to fight GGG and it won't matter.

      It seems this is the era that fighter don't fight the best out there because they don't "need" to.

        If GGG gets handed the belt he gets one step closer to all the belts... He will only need to hold up for Lee or Saunders. And after that his sights will be 168 and hopefully he isn't there for long... I want him to fight at 175... I believe he will be fine at that weight... He can fight ward kov etc. and show everyone he isn't some hype job.

            Put it this way. If Canelo vacates it's a loss for everybody.

              Simple Math.

              If GGG can get 6M for fighting Canelo, he can also earn the same fighting 3 separate opponents at 2M each with all the belts he is carrying.

              People should stop thinking like boxing is all about Canelo.

              When Mayweather retired for the first time, boxing moved on.

                  GGG/WBC should strip Canelo. GGG should then face Saunders in September to unify the division, then he should move up to 168 in 2017 and face someone like DeGale or Ramirez. That would be a great plan.

                  Canelo's made it very clear that he won't fight him.

                    unfortunately, yes. Its the worst possible manifestation of "fanboy mancrushes".

He still will not be Lineal champ not Ring champ. Canelo can just sit there and bring fighters up from 154 and make a killing..GGG is going to have to make a crucial decision here because Canelo honestly does not need him at all.
                      you summed it all up...every fighter on the come up had to play b-side...its his turn...if you believe in yourself....go for it...its only a one time thing

                      greatness is earned not given...proof is in the pudding and he hasnt proven much if anything on the top level


                      never thought I'd see the day whenso called boxing fans are excited about a fighter being stripped and another being given a title....smdh...fake fans
