Idiot! GGG is 160 ward supposedly was 168 it wasn't for a title so why not meet in the middle. Fawking dumbass I swear. Keep hating beeotch. Stay salty

Uuhhh anyone from 154-168

This is gonna be like one of those Always Sunny in Philadelphia intros where someone says something, but then the title pops saying the gang does the opposite.

I can't help but say the Mayweather school of thought created this ****** situation.

I'm tired of this debacle.

Hopefully they make GGG-Jacobs next with it being NLT than fall of this year.

After I see GGG-Jacobs. If no canelo, I pray to God GGG fcuks off for life.

I'm tired of he and his team bragging about beating Kovalev, Cruiserweights and Heavyweights, but don't have the fcuking heart to go into any future bout at a disadvantage.

If you're kicking Cruiserweight, Heavyweight and Kovalev ass at 160, then damn it, the least you can do is fight a SMW or 175 lb Andre Ward while weighing 160

Fcuking prove it.

Like I said, Hopefully GGG-Jacobs is made next, then after that GGG and his "default belt" winning ass can eternally fcuk off

how did mayweather school of thought do this? Mayweather only fought 2 catchweight fights his entire career.

Thank DLH for following Arums blueprint. ODLH spent the better part of the 90s and his mid to early 20s fighting smaller former champions. Dude was a 5'10 junior lightweight/lightweight fighting little guys like troy dorsey(featherweight), Jorge Paez(featherweight titleholder) dwarfed Jesse James Leija and really wasnt fighting people his size until he got to welterweight in the late 90s

Does that mean GayLoveKin will fight someone above a b- level now? Will he now be ok with moving up and daring to be great?

Not so fast, GGG wants a piece of Artur Akavov for his WBF World Middleweight title. Don't you know how much him and his fans love belts?

[Don Pichardo]

Floyd started catch weights?

No. Catch weights have been going on forever. They were used to equalize fighters from different weight classes. Now they are used to gain advantages over other fighters (that's what Floyd may have started).

[buddyguns]

how ?

Winning a title from Marco Antonio Rubio makes everyone a star...don't you know? This is the proudest moment of every GGG fans life.

Lest not forget his two fights with Chavez sr. A smaller much older guy. That was pathetic. And when he fought real challenges he ran damn near half the fight(Trinidad) or faked a knock out(Hopkins). De la Hoya as the biggest scam of the 90s and should not be respected.

i respect him as a man, and a fighter. He was a great fighter, but he benefitted from having arum feeding him former titleholders from lower weight classes.

DLH at 130-140 was a monster. Miguel Angel Gonzalez was legit, and i dont think at any part of his career, could JCC beat DLH. His wins over Vargas and Quartey were impressive. He was the face of boxing but Roy Jones was the class of that era and had the most talent.

lol @ acting like this is a victory.

GGG will just go on and fight another Wade for the WBC strap. Canelo-GGG aint getting made, which is what fans wanted. Neither is GGG-Ward, which is also what fans wanted.

GGG will continue to fight cab drivers at 160 with his collection of trinkets. Canelo will probably go for Cotto 2 or whatever other meaningless money grab fight is out there.
