Why has GGG's career been moved so slowly?

Research Universum and Sturm

[New England]

he's easily the most avoided fighter in boxing.

Yes he's not willingly accepting step aside fees at all.

if middleweights were afraid of me i'd take money to let them walk away .

cotto was blatantly avoiding golovkin. quillin. martinez. canelo made a new weight class. there are others. you get the idea.


you don't crap on a potential fight if you're willing to take it. if you want to figure out who is ducking who, listen to their promotors. if they build fights they're willing to take them. if they're crapping on them it's probably a duck.

NVM, this thread looks like a toxic wash

[OnePunch]

Broner has moved up 4 divisions man..GGG has the same opportunity in Ward

Broner???? lololol

The bum cherry picked his way across 4 divisions, only fighting the weakest link he could get. FOUR divisions, and only a SINGLE WIN (demarco) over a top 5 opponent in any division he was in.

Yeah, thats SOME resume he has lol

Which is fine.

But if you accept step aside money, you cannot complain if people find your resume weak. You cannot have it both ways.

And these step-aside fees is exactly what is slowing down GGG's carreer.
By hoping/waiting to get Cotto or Canelo, they got to a stall point, and as long as they have that mandatory spot, they won't risk a L at 168 either.
It is what it is.

He has been pro for 9 going on 10 years and is 33 almost 34

compare that to others and what they achieved in 10 years

Forget years Larry how about 9-10 fights!?
Look at rigo and Loma

They are going to duck him anyway, belts also have fee's. it's kind of difficult to pass up on 800k for free. He fights three times a year getting around a mil I assume and gets a 800k on top for free, that's a pretty good year compared to -200 or -300k to your total earnings.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong with anything here.

[PulpFriction]

passed over??? Lara,Ward Andrade,Degale all want to fight him

You are seriously considering JMW's Larry? "Are you serious?"
