    I'm not sure who GGG has ducked at 160, but no one to my recollection.
    Whatever floats their boat. If it's a big money fight he wants he'll have to make some sacrifices. Like moving up or down. There's only so long you can whine for while collecting easy paydays against the dregs of the division.

      If it lands on UK PPV, then maybe. But even so, it won't do very well in the UK, guaranteed. Khan's last fight was not even shown in the UK.
      Common sense. Like it or not Khan is a more recognized name than g string. G strings poor PPV numbers tell you all you need to know. If it lands on UK ppv?

        Khan has never been on PPV in the US and GGG has. Plus GGG has pulled in solid solid numbers on HBO lately.

        Khan's last fight was on Spike TV.

        Has it been confirmed as PPV in the UK?

          I realize you have a huge hard on for Khan but he bring a helluva lot more $$$ to Canelo than g string can.

          Are you going to spend your day bashing Khan in multiple threads?

            I'm just asking what you base that on? Seems like you can't discuss boxing properly probably because you don't know shit about it.

              Alvarez isn't a real 160 champion by any stretch of imagination, Golovkin is. Alvarez doesn't intend to defend his 160 title at the full weight either. The WBC is behind this argumentation too, so yes, GGG is the A side.

                His popularity is so overrated it's crazy. Oscar always says: "the megadupersuperstar that is Canelo" as if he's the most popular guy anyone has ever seen.

                The dude could barely draw 300k to the table in a LMW championship fight,
                Mayweather is retired. Pacquiao had one fight left. Who's next in line? You've delusional bruh.

                  Canelo is easily the biggest star in boxing currently.

                  Mayweather is gone, Pacquiao is about to be gone, that leaves Canelo on his own.

                    What kind of weird logic is this? A 'casual' fan (presumably less informed, keeps up with boxing news less, watches less boxing features) could pronounce his name, but a 'hardcore' fan (presumably more informed, listens/watches/reads boxing news, YouTube videos, boxing features) couldn't pronounce his name?

                    How does that make any sense?

                    Honestly, there's a lot of ******ed reasoning amongst boxing fans (especially that lots of money = skill or greatness) which just isn't seen amongst other sports fans (ie, Leicester City's team = £23 mil, Man City's = £234 mil, LCFC just beat MCFC 3 - 1, but from the financials a boxing fan would say MCFC won).

                    I've also noticed boxing fans are less liable to read longer, wordier posts like this one, and ignore anyone who exposes their hypocrisy and idiocy. They seem to enjoy their bubbles.

                      Pretty much. And, it'll only seem worse the longer you spend here. If you're looking for well-reasoned debate this ain't the place.
