GGG avoided

[Robbie Barrett]

It's funny because canelo literally dropped a division so h can avoid ggg. Charlo announced he's having hard time at 154 and won't move because I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to be in ggg division. A lot of the 168 already said no to him. He basically have three division shooked.

Canelo dropped 1lb, 1 ***** lb.

Did Lil G try to make a fight with Lara, Charlo's, Degale, Jack? No he didn't stop the bull****.

We'll fight anyone from 154-168 as long as HBO approves, as long as we get the lions share of the money, as long as we dictate all terms, and as long as your name isn't Andre Ward.

Lil G targeted Canelo, Eubank, Brook. Obvious he was only interested in a pay day.

The term duck is wayyyyyy overused these days & there are issues that make virtually any proclaimed duck situation a arguable situation cuz there are about 8 sides to every boxing story between boxers, managers, promoters, networks, alphabet groups & etc & so on. But all that being the case I can't think of a guy during my time watching boxing that I feel has been more legit avoided by multiple high level guys than GGG.

And for full disclosure I say this as a guy who was a late arrival to the GGGfandom + thinks he'd lose to Canelo if they fought today so I'm hardly a GGG fanboy.

Idiotic, Paul Williams and Michael Moorer were avoided. They moved up.

so did mike mccallum, aaron pryor, sam landforde, charley burley, etc

It doesn't even make sense anymore. Golovkin is not a 1 punch KO artist, it's not THAT dangerous for your health. Worst case scenario he breaks you down and you get TKOd. He's still highly respected , a P4P fighter, and offers a damn good payday.

He's been steadily gaining popularity, and getting older I might add. The risk/reward of fighting Golovkin is getting more and more appealing.

Yes he is avoided without a doubt. That still is not a good reason to fight above his best fighting weight. That'a good way for a great fighter to lose.He makes 160 with ease and he would be a huge betting favorite to beat any middleweight. If a 168 or 175 pound boxer who is just as good pound for pound as GGG comes along and GGG fights him at that fighter's weight he will lose. It takes a hell of a fighter to be the best in the world at his proper weight. To ask a fighter to fight above his correct and best weight weight is unfair. That's why they have weight classes. If two fighters are equal pound for pound the bigger fighter wins.Some posters say GGG should just move up to 168 or 175 as if it's no big deal just a walk in the park. It is a big deal.

I believe his team offered Saunders good money to fight him and were turned down.Of course he targeted Canelo. Canelo had a title belt and GGG has clearly stated so many times his goal is to unify 160. A professional prize fighter only interested in a payday? That's shocking and disgraceful.

His fans should stop saying nobody wanted to fight him then shouldn't they? It's simply not true. He made no attempt to make fights with LMWs or SMWs.
