When one of those he didn't get up from and the other was at the cinderblock hands of Sergio Mora, red flags tend to go up.

To be fair, the ref waived the count in the Pirog fight. As soon as the ref stopped the fight, he had to literally hold/restrain Jacobs from getting up. It's a championship fight so I would've at least let the ref reach the count of 10. It was a bad stoppage IMO.

But they offer BJS a fight? A man who's told GGG to fuc off and said he needs at least 18 months to be ready?

He has a real belt. GGG is after whoever has that belt, could been Lee.

Why would ANYONE chase Gennady Golovkin?

He's high risk and zero reward. He did 97k PPV buys in his last fight.

I'm just asking the fans who think GGG is always being ducked when that's not the case. There are fights available for GGG, but his team at least have to try to negotiate.

Because he is the man at middleweight with most of the belts. If Jacobs and Lara had ambition, they would make a damn offer. They have a billion dollar organization behind them. GGG is their road to fame. What do they offer him? Nothing! They are simply looking for money they do not deserve. This is not rocket science here. Either you want it or you don't. They have nothing GGG would want. It has to be the other way around.

Most of these guys are trolls, they're trying to create an imaginary list of fighters GGG is ducking.

Exactly. Jacobs is a paper champ who can't even draw fans in his own backyard. GGG doesn't need to fight him it's the other way around. Unless your name is Canelo or GGG you are basically sitting at the kids table. The only fighter GGG needs to fight at 160 is Canelo.

Nothing because GGG can't keep Jacobs belt, GGG wants all 4 belts WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF

Tbf they can't make an offer, GGG would have to make one cause he's the one with a network contract and can't fight off HBO. What they need to do is, call Loeffler, with reasonable purse expectation, and ensure Haymon is onboard with them on HBO.

You just contradicted yourself.

You say "If Jacobs and Lara had ambition, they would make a damn offer".

Team Jacobs has made an offer, it's you and your buds that say Jacobs offer isn't worthy, NOT Team Golovkin themselves. Just because Jacobs offer isn't what YOU want it to be, doesn't negate the fact that Team Jacobs has already answered the bolded above.

Secondly, GGG did 97k PPV buys so why are you saying if people want fame they should seek out GGG? Obviously he's not that famous.

GGG has beaten 3 champions in his entire 10 year career tenure (i.e. Kasim Ouma, Geale and D. Lemieux). GGG needs a worthy MW on his resume, not Taureno Johnson and the like.

Are you interested in belts or the best of the division fighting the best?

[HeroBando]

$4 mil equals 6mil pounds

$6 mil equals 4 mil pounds

Which one is he saying they offered him?

@brendan_chubz may be but I'll be 6 mill heavy

Uh you might wanna redo those numbers. 6m lbs is like $9m. You'd think he's talking lbs, but $6m is already way implausible
