    That's where Oscar and GBP have been superior to K2. Canelo is JUST as manufactured as GGG is, but his resume includes the scalps of fighters such as Mosely, Cotto, Angulo, Lara, Trout. Regardless of gifts, conditions and such, against those fighters, he has ticks in the win column. GGG's best wins are Murray and Geale. "Real Deal" Geale, lmfao.



    The problem here friend, is that regardless of how long this run goes, GGG still has an immensely loyal fan base that will ride and die with him. Just like Manny's supporters burned Nike apparel in a parking lot in a voodoo-esque ritual, GGG's supporters will do the same. That's why Manny can say whatever the hell he wants to about ****sexuals, and GGG could fight that Lazslo guy Paulie fought in Italy and likely get more fans after blowing through him and tossing him aside like used toilet paper.
    You got it as far as CANELO...he was fed jr welters and welters at 154 but at least he has some very good top shelf opponents from 154

    How long can people ride that " they ducking him doe" horse. Its past old.

      No, you said it Floyd loves money, and the fight makes little sense. GGG has yet to add an elite fighter on his resume. Floyd beating him would be a notch better than beating Guerrero, Ortiz, Berto level fighters, but lower than Pac, Cotto, Canelo, Mosley, De La Hoya. Even Hatton, because at least Hatton had beaten Tszyu to gain his reputation and killer image, while GGG has no one of that level at 160, but maybe could have gained that rep by beating Lara.

      no fight on the planet makes more money than this one would.
      That's not true. Pacquiao, Canelo, Cotto rematches all make more money than this one would for starters. Because it would be an 'in-house' fight, Mayweather makes more money off of fighting DSG than he would from GGG. If Khan manages to pull off the upset vs Canelo, that's also a fight that Floyd could take that would make more money than a fight with GGG. After those 5 names, then I would put GGG's name in there.

          I didn't really mean now but you're totally right as of right now.

            It will never happen. A small WW at the tail end of his career at age 40 is not going to fight a full fledged MW.
