but I'll be ready because he has earned my respect for trying to take all my belts.

Will the IBF and WBA even sanction it? WBC obviously will.

Don't be surprised Genady. Unlike you other fighters have balls to move up.

He's surprised cause the best 4 MW challengers ducked him openly just now, so who'd expect a welter to want it, right

Funny how the fighters like Andre coWard move up to avoid GGG and smaller fighters like Brook move up to fight him. Guess some guys are made for greatness and some are made to be actors in Rocky movies.

Earning Gannadys respect ..........

TRANSLATION:

You've agreed to fight him at an extreme weight disadvantage .

Moving forward, earning Gannady's respect should be avoided at ALL cost ☠☠☠

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Okay good just so we are all on the same page.

...and you've lost respect from a lot of your fans Gennady.

I understand taking a fight like this when you are winding down from your career and aren't as sharp as you used to be, but right now you still have a lot to prove if you want to be one of the greatest. This isn't the way to do it.
