One thing I noticed about GGG....

[RadChang]

One thing I noticed about GGG- The guy is simply not willing to make ANY compromises or concessions to give the fans the fights they want. He has to have everything HIS way, or no fight.

For example:
At the 30 day weigh-in for a 160 fight he's only 164, yet flat out refuses to come a few pounds below 160 for the biggest fight of his life vs A-Side Canelo or Cotto.

Talks about 154-168, but every time he's asked about the guys at 168: Degale, Jack, Ramirez, etc, it's "my focus on one seexty righ now...."

Couldn't work out a deal with Eubank Jr who would have been his toughest challenge to date, so just blame everything on his Dad.

Refused 157 for Brook and made Brook go up to full 160.

Flat out refused Lara who is bigger than Brook.

Refused 168 for Ward, and wanted Ward at 164.

I can go on and on.

Now, does GGG HAVE to compromise? No. But throughout history EVERY fighter has had to make one concession or another to make big fights happen. Floyd, Pac, Cotto, Martinez, Marquez, Ward, etc have all made concessions in order to achieve greatness. Hell, even Canelo came down to 152 for Floyd.

Yet GGG has never been willing to make a SINGLE compromise. And at 34, his best opponent is a Welterweight. "I want fight!" No you don't Gennady, you want EASY fights where you have things your way. Fake nice guy who used to be a street bully in his native country. Dude is a bigger Diva than Cotto ever was.

GGG fanboys go ahead and flame me, I won't respond. You all know what I said is true.

Seriously, F#CK GGG.

What boxers give the fans what they want? Why do they give a damn about the fans?

He's really chasing the canelo fight, and for obvious reasons. I think he'll end up having to take a cw to get it done. 157 is fair if they do it next.

That post is winning.

GGG has a fan base than ADMITS they don't care who he fights,as long as he is active.

The bar is set low for certain fighters..they don't have prove anything...they don't have to take risks...they don't have to make concessions.

Why are there so many threads about GGG?

We all already know this, so lets move on..no need to keep stating the obvious over and over again

You noticed all wrong. He has no issues going to challengers hometown, gives up the most generous purse split for such an A sider, was willing to give 168 to bigger A siders Chavez and Froch. Canelo was offered Cw before he became lineal and Ggg his mando. It'd be a travesty if that unification was a Cw, nevermind laughable 155. But I bet they would have taken 157 if Canelo had bothered to negotiate before forfeiting

[deathofaclown]

You have a bizarre way of warping things.

Firstly Brook said he wanted the fight at 160 anyway.

Lara can't draw flies.

The deal with Eubank was done, the Eubank's wouldn't sign because they wanted to control the event, ticket prices, broadcasting etc. It's been confirmed by everyone involved that was the case. They were given a deadline by Hearn to sign and they didn't. It was nothing to do with GGG, everything was done on their side.

Why should fight a Middleweight unification fight with a fellow middleweight champion at the time (canelo) under the correct MW limit? it's just making a mockery of the belt if that's the case. I'm sure he would have happily taken a smaller cut of the money against Canelo if Canelo had the balls to fight.

He's getting less money than Brook and fighting in London. So he's compromising there.
