GGG is not being ducked. Stop the B.S.

[boliodogs]

If they aren't ducking him then why are they paying him not to fight them??????? Bribing a guy near a million bucks not to fight you sure sounds like ducking to me. If they aren't ducking him why don't they just fight him???? They clearly are never going to fight him no matter how you spin it. Cotto was never going to fight GGG and that is just as sure as death and taxes. GGG would rather win a title in the ring than have the vacated title given to him. GGG took the "I don't want to fight you" bribe money because it beat the hell out of getting nothing and still no fight.

[OnePunch]

He's taking step aside money because he isn't getting the fight regardless.

Again he wasn't getting Cotto no matter what the WBC would have mandated he wouldn't have gotten Cotto. It took Canelo damn near 2 years to get Cotto and Nelo is a much bigger name than GGG. Ggg knew his only chance to get Cotto was to play ball and remain the mandatory. Had he declined the step aside, all Cotto would have done was drop the belt.

Same thing is happening with Canelo here. After the weak PPV's by GGG in against Lemieux, Oscar who was already hesitant to make a Canelo vs GGG fight probably told GGGs team they can either take a tune up or go F themselves.

exactly, but these ******s are incapable of understanding that.

2 choices: Dont get the fight right now and pocket zero, or dont get the fight right now and pocket $800,000.

derrrrrrrrrrrrrr which one should I choose?? derrrrrrrrr

They're in denial about GGG. Just give it time.

Do you see Matthysse being talked about anymore?

Remember, we had to endure all the Matthysse talk for 3 years. He was like the hottest thing in the planet from 2010 to 2013. Golovkin blew up 2012 and has lasted 3 years fighting bums. But give it time, after 2016 Golovkin will be an afterthought. And the irony of it all is that the person who will make him an afterthought is probably a fighter who's accused of ducking him.

[kafkod]

Me: Do you want to fight me?

GGG: Yes

Me: Will you accept $800,000 to avoid fighting me?

What you mean is: "Will you accept $800,000 so I can avoid fighting you?"

He was supposed to get Cotto in June 2015, he didn't get it

He was supposed to get Cotto next fight after the June 2015 fight, he didn't get it

He was supposed to get Canelo after he beat Cotto, he didn't get it.

Is he really stepping aside to get the fight? Or is he taking money to avoid the fight?

Lol ... if he was avoiding the fight, why would they need to give him money?

Uhhh difference is Glolovkin actually has real skills and good pedigree. Matthysse was knocking ppl out strictly on his power. Matty can't cut a ring off for crap and lacks a jab which 2 are things GGG does very well. I get a lot of the GGG hate is more based towards his sometimes rabid fans but damn dude..even on chirstmas y'all don't let up. Why not pull up one of his fights on youtube and watch a good scrap instead of being sour?
Oh and no s**t GGG is gonna fade in a few years. He's 33. His reflexes and mobility aren't ever gonna improve.

Irrelevant nonsense. Tell Ward to step up.

So, how much is canelo paying ???

this time around I do not believe there is any step aside money being paid. Or at least I dont know of any.

What Canelo is dangling right now is the possibility of the Sept fight. So in reality GGG has no reason to say no, because at this moment, what difference does it make? He can still force Canelo to vacate at the end of May if no deal is reached, and in the meantime he can still do either his IBF mando or take a shot at Jacobs or Saunders (doubtful he could get either one, but doesnt cost anything to try).

So odds are he gets the IBF mando out of the way in March/April, and if Canelo wont negotiate in May then he forces a strippage. GGG gains nothing by doing that now. He would be in the same position, only with instead of a 50-50 chance he gets Canelo in Sept, its a zero chance
