[OnePunch]

my problem with GGG is that when someobody of note has something to say even remotely close to sounding like fighting words...HE DOESNT CALL ANY OF THEIR BLUFFS
CANELO 155 OR NOTHING...ggg "anything from 154-168"...NOW HE SAYS NO 155
WARD "I'LL FIGHT YOU"....GGG "154-168"....NOW HE SAYS 164 OR NOTHING..AND STARTS ACTING ALL DIVA'ISH ABOUT MONEY JUST TO DO 90K PPV'S AND GET A TOP GUYS AT HBO FIRED LOL

LARA "I'LL FIGHT YOU"....GGG"WILLIE MONROE IS AB IGGER STAR"


I JUST CANT DO IT NO MORE IM LOSING INTEREST

I wish you WOULD lose interest. Seeing your whining posts crying about GGG day after day after day is really tiresome.......

The reality is, GGG is putting his career on hold to do something he's already accomplished. You say he wants to be undisputed champ. Guess what, he already is in the mind of every semi-knowledgeable fight fan. And beating a B class paper beltholder like Billy Joe and a Canelo, who's never even beaten a legitimate middleweight isn't gonna enhance anything.

Beating Canelo doesn't enhance anything? It would expose him to a legion of fans who have never even heard of this wanna be mexican. Then again Canelo would kick his ass so he wants to avoid this fight at all costs and continue hunting the Billy Joe Saunders type fighters or guys And Lee has knocked out already.

First off, you can't compare BJ to Alvarez. One has a lineal belt...and Alvarez has fought elites.

GGG is all hype. I have more respect for Conor McGregor for the simple fact that he trash talks his way through divisions, FIGHTS the undisputed, and then beats him. The point Conor uses ''I want to fight the best'' and look at now he's moving up a division to fight the Champion dos Anjos. Maybe GGG could learn something from Conor.

You don't seem to understand how the UFC works compared to boxing? The difference is that in the UFC there is one guy making the matchups. Not Dana White but Joe Silva and Sean Shelby choose what fights happen. There is little room for ducking. In boxing, no one enforces the good matches to happen. It's all about the money. If Conor was in the boxing business, he would be a loud version of Golovkin. Cause no would want to lose to him and he wouldn't be given the opportunities.

I don't think GGG beating Canelo is near the lock his fans seem to think it is. Nelo is by far the best fighter GGG will have fought. Same can't be said in reverse.

SO TIRED OF GGG FANS THAT TELL ME NOT TO DEMAND THE BEST FIGHTS...smh
U TIRED OF ME EXPOSING THAT HE FIGHTS NOBODIES??
the fact is that he is fine with fight bums for 6 to 8 million a year..you guys made him popular and toward the top of the sport withouth doing a thing..he has no doubters like others who are at the top which means they stay hungry...
and the doubters that he does have...well lets just say ppl like you protect him from those doubters

[turnedup]

speak volumes how? canelo can do cotto 2: huge numbers...lara2 well respected..andrade, charlo, man the list just goes on and on for guys he can fight...he does not need ggg for legacy or respect that is just how deep at 154 division is and all guys are moving up to fight him if he says so..they wont be like GGG and not listen to what the aside has to say..
and tghe sad thing is i thnk ggg would murder him at 155..ggg is just a diva and wont do it..i cant rock with him anymore im sick of it..everytime he gets a fight coming his way he pulls some dumb stuff like his team is ******ed

I get it Tilli you don't like the guy...it's become pretty evidenced. He's a diva that has called out the last three lineal champions and they've all but jumped from a building to avoid him. That accounts for absolutely nothing at all..amazing how that works.

I'm sorry bro but Canelo has nothing for Golovkin and Oscar has practically made that point pretty clear as of late. Canelo will not fight Golovkin unless he is absolutely forced to and I doubt Sulaiman is going to force it to happen. Demanding 155 and 90% at least to my logical thinking indicates I don't want this to happen so i'm not willing to budge at all and let it be what it will be.

Pacquaio is not fighting Canelo, plain and simple that's not happening. I'll even bet money on the chances of that being zero. Lemieux had less of a following than Angulo, at least Angulo had some history of being in competitive fights, Lemieux was virtually unknown to casuals and after five minutes on this website and most other forums would not have been motivated to buy a ppv bough featuring him. It is what it is we'll just disagree on this too i'm cool with that.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. With Floyd gone, Pac-Nelo is the biggest fight in boxing. If Pac's gonna hang around, its gonna be fpr big checks. Plus he has a Floyd obsession. Manny ain't the sharpest knife in the drawer. Arum might be able to convince him that winning the "middleweight title" is a way to lure Floyd outta retirement.

Thats true but if he does KO Canelo there is a lot of casual fans that watch Nelo that will suddenly think this guy is the best thing ever. The type of people that became Pacman fans because he was beating Barrera, Morales & JMM. It gets him over to a certain extent. If you look at what actual trainers in the boxing community are saying as opposed to opinions of boxing fans that don't actually fight then you see a lot of the experts actually favor Canelo. If GGG and his team thought Canelo was a sure win they would have jumped at the chance to fight at 155. They know Canelo is a real talent and that's why they have taken such a hard stance at the negotiating table. The GGG fanboys are at this point somehow trying to sway the reality of things but Golovkin at this point needs credibility and he's running out of time.

Why should he fight him at 155 when he doesn't have to? To appease you and only you? C'mon that's just ridiculous, why would you concede five pounds to a fighter who can't make you do that but still has to fight you or look like a chump by vacating a belt? Canelo walks around heavier than him. I could understand if this was him fighting a 147 pound fighter who was coming up and asking him to come down some but a guy who literally is dropping close to 30 pounds to make 155 is nothing but an excuse and one that you personally would be destroy at every turn if it was coming from many other fighters. If Alvarez vacates its worse than alvarez being ktfo...but that's just me.
