    We all know that GGG has an amazing chin, and outstanding power. We're all still in the dark though because he's never taken a serious challenge. Until then, we don't know how deep this man can dig.

    Tyson was on top of the world once to, and when forced to dig deep his mental shovel broke every time.
    What's a serious challenge? GGG is not a big MW, so you want him to go up in weight and abandon his goals and dreams of being undisputed for Zurdo and Degale? Zurdo is injured, and Degale has a fight lined up with Jack btw. What does he haev to do?

    Literally no one will fight this guy at 160, Canelo vacated, Jacobs wants no part of him, Saunders wants a bigger payday than GGG, when is the last time a fighter has been this ducked even though they bring huge money?

      You say it would be his first "big test", whose fault is that? Literally no one will fight this guy, Danny Jacobs is terrified of him, and so was Quillin and unlike Rigo, his opponents actually get a good payday.
      Any time you sign a contract to fight someone, you're choosing to fight them regardless of the ****ing order. You might want to get your logic straight.

          Context is key. You were acting like GGG was the one who offered the fight to Brook. Brook was a last minute alternative, Eubank did not sign by the deadline, and he was obligated to fight on HBO in september. Tell me what would have been your alternative solutions. Would you decline a huge PPV payday in the UK and fight Tureano Johnson? I have a feeling you're going to say something ******ed like "how about not fighting a WW".

              Of course they give Floyd credit. Opinions change with the majority here when it's a boxer of their race or/and flag.

                It seems like the main demographic that are having a mental breakdown over criticizing this fight are Floyd nuthuggers that always bring up Floyd schooling Marquez as some kind of great win. I'm just wondering why they give Floyd so much credit for doing the exact same thing and even cheating on the scales, but won't give GGG a tiny speck of credit.

                  No excuse! A guy coming up in weight is a guy coming up in weight. Especially two weight classes.

                    Larry who da Fawk cares about jmm being lineal at 135! It just makes Floyd look like a bigger poosey by saying that. Brook is top 3 WW who cares! Both were sham fights and this one is too!
                    It's amazing how flo mos like Larry and others make up these bullsh it excuses for floyd. It's embarrassing!

                      Lemieux got paid 1.5m for fighting GGG, Canelo is the biggest draw in boxing right now, and Khan got paid 2million. GGG clearly offers his opponents some of the biggest paydays in boxing right now.
