Why has GGG's career been moved so slowly?

[SplitSecond]

Its 15 so 5 wins more to b-hop's record.

He has already beaten 8 top10, including 4 world champs, never even been down in 400 fights, Amateur legend 345-5, olympic silver medal, world amateur gold, AND finally ducked by almost everyone.

Boxers that ducked/ducking GGG

1---Felix sturm - wouldn't fight him for over 2 years when GGG was mandatory.

2---Peter quillin - said he will only fight for the may-pac kind of money, lol + he flew to Haymon to avoid GGG

3---Sergio martinez - "His promoter said that "no way I am putting him with this monster", GGG kept calling him out after his U.S. debut after every fight

4---Miguel cotto - ducked his mandatory(GGG) twice by fighting Geale and Canelo

5---Julio cesar chavez jr - Turned down 12mil offer by TR

6---Saul alvarez - Avoiding his mando(GGG). Thinks that he is fighting at the weight-class of 155, as there is no such thing as a "155 weight-class" ,he is pretending to be not in the MW division because of GGG.There are 17 divisions just pick one, if you can't make 154 then you are a MW, simple.

7---Carl froch - After calling GGG out then when GGG accepted ,he backed down and now he is retired after making all the fuss, + GGG was calling him for more than a year so no excuses for "retiring".

8---Andrea Ward. The diva of the 168lb division don't want to travel or meet the a-side GGG in a catchweight so he can become a good boy and get ktfo. Was willing to goto 160 for Floyd but when GGG said 164, Ward ducked + he was fine when Dawson came down a whole division for him but wont move half a division for GGG, smh

9---Hassaan ndam njikam -When Hassaan was WBO champ, he was ordered to a purse bid to face Golovkin no less than two times and he was a no show each time.

10---Darren Barker - When Barker defeated Geale to become IBF champ, his promoter openly said that Barker will fight any1 except GGG

We can add Billy Joe Saunders to this list. Although, maybe he's not good enough for one to even care.

Just ain't until Alvarez knocks out GGG. GGG's chin hasn't even been tested or the body. I don't blame GGG not wanting to move up to 168 to fight Ward. hell no! BOth Quillin and GGG took advantage of a Rosado fight, knowing full well he's not at 160 level. Rosado got destroyed by Angulo, far faster and more accurate than GGG, and that was at 154. Abel Sanchez's clownage has caught up, and GGG's ''just...just you know...I just...'' reign is over.

You can't be serious.

You can't be serious.

Compare round TKOs. Come back to Earth. Who finished who faster. Lol

You can't be serious.

What part of that statement isn't true?

[STAX ON DECK]

the saddest part is that he basically got gifted 90% of pacuqiao's "fans" and still only did 97k on PPV

not a good look

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

Golovkin holds the WBA and IBF titles (forget about Jacobs) and he has a hold of a portion of the WBC title, with Canelo unwilling to fight him.

He has beaten Murray, Macklin, Geale and Lemeux, all top 10 middleweights and legitimate title contenders, i.e. I'm going to dumb it down, he has beaten the best available middleweights out there.

What more do you want him to do? In fact, what more can he do? Cotto refused to fight him and right now, it doesn't seem likely that Canelo will fight him either. In fact, there is nothing those two have done that would make me think they are better than GGG, they are the challengers to GGGs crown, widely regarded by most in boxing as THE guy in the division.

The argument that GGG is being moved slowly may have been one 1 and a half or 2 years ago but now it's irrelevant. He has beaten and annihilated just about every one of note in the division.

[Lester Tutor]

What more do you want him to do?

lol

''for me...154, 168...tsss.. easy'' - GGG

in boxing there's no shame moving up in weights. It actually benefits your resume and technical achievements. Moving up in a weight class and getting another belt is better than searching for more belts in a division in which everybody says he has cleaned.

Simplest Logic most kids would agree with.

People will blame his early promotional issues but in the same breath criticize Ward for being inactive while going through his promotional issues. He and Ward fought in the same Olympics and Ward is younger. The MW division was filled with killers when GGG could've turned pro and fought in America. GGG is 33. Think of the MW division 10 years ago when he was 23.

His current problem is K2. If he were with Arum or Golden Boy he'd already be MW champ. Instead they've taken step aside after step aside in hopes of getting a shot. They were told before Canelo/Cotto that this would be the last time they'll have to step aside. The winner must fight GGG or vacate. And what happened? They stepped aside again. Another issue is K2 doesn't pay well. They want the Lee fight next if he wins but I guarantee they won't pay him more than he would get paid to fight -Jacobs. They aren't getting that fight.

There is a fairly large difference between being Ward, and having loads of momentum, and then sitting out for long periods of time fighting contracts, and having none, and doing it.

His career has de facto started in 2012, when he knocked Proksa out on HBO.

Before that he was with Universum, which no longer exists.

In 3 years he became a unified MW champion, one of the boxing biggest stars and just recently headlined his first PPV.

Compared to other fighters, he did and still is doing pretty good.

And currently has the 2nd most middleweight title defenses in boxing history behind only Bernard Hopkins.
