    I don't have the mental fortitude or maturity of a sausage, so I don't take offence with people disagree with my opinion. In fact, I agree with you. I want to see GGG fight people who will actually test his ability and character. Fighting Floyd does nothing for Gennady other than get him paid.

    I just don't think he's having a career that his talent/ability suggest he should be having.

      The fact they have to push the boundaries, create new measuring sticks to just to try and discredit him speaks volumes to how they actually rate him. The fact that they don't see it makes it all the more funny to me.
      Problem is, they don't know how to disagree without hating. You can't disagree with a statement on here without being labelled. Don't like GGG? Then obviously Ward is your "hero" and you hate him because you're black and he's white. Dislike Canelo? Then GGG is your "hero" and you hate him because he's Mexican and you're white. Like black fighters, you're a black supremacist and hate white people. Like GGG? You're some kind of racist. Etc. I love Floyd, not because I'm black, but because of how skillful a boxer he is and how high his ring IQ was. I'm not a fan of GGG, not because he's white, but because of how carefully constructed his image domination have been. He has the skills that make me want to get behind him, but lacks the resume/level of comp for that to happen. I thought Deontay Wilder was a sack of **** before the Stiverne fight, and I was actually rooting for Bermaine. Wilder made a fan outta me that night.

      Everybody thinks in such black and white absolutes that its difficult to have a barb and hatred free boxing discussion/thread.

        I salute your optimism.

          me either...too much talent to be wasted on welterweights and middleweight no names.

          Its like his handlers want the most notoriety and money for the least risk....if you want the glory you take the risks for it.

              thats exactly where i stand with GGG....its not exciting for me to see some one so talented blitz unranked guys and no names

              Tyson was doing the same thing, but his string of no names lasted only 2 years....GGG has been a pro a decade

              his team is going to have to realize that in order for people to believe in his ability, or greatness(he may be great) we have to actually see it.

              I dont have much tolerance for watching out and out mismatches.

                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.

                  Thank you kindly. Why don't you join me on this side of the fence? Endless Optimists such as myself get disappointed a lot, and don't have any b*tches, but we get free doughnuts.

                      I personally have a low opinion of GGG's insistence on fighting part time dock workers and cab drivers who supplement their income by boxing. But I believe that if he truly wants to fight Floyd and get the massive payday that it would bring, then he will stop with the posturing, the hypocrisy and double standards and just fight and defeat Andre Ward.
                      If he fights and defeats Ward, it will mean two things:
                      1) This win in itself is 5 times more valuable than over Floyd - legacy wise
                      2) He will be too big for Floyd. Because in order to beat Ward he will have to gain muscle.
