OMG I so ****ing called it


The only reason he was critical of his own performance was to justify the need for more weak opponents

NAh son, GGG has a date with Jacobs then you are up to bat. No excuses, no running, no hiding, it's time to be a man!

Good call. I love it when these dudes blame GGG for these fights not happening. It is so pathetic, I've never seen so many professional fighters afraid of fighting a man before. Come the frick on, GGG is just a man, Brook was able to touch him up so why couldn't others? These chumps need to go into another line of work because boxing isn't for them.

[Boxing Logic]

Everybody knows he's garbage. That's why GGG putting his career on hold to try and unify all the belts is a waste of time. Because even when BJS is ready to cash out and take a big fight. GGG won't be first on his wish list. It will be Canelo. And even if and when GGG finally does get BJS in the ring and beats him, he will have accomplished what? Absolutely nothing. He will have beaten a C class bum (and that's being generous) that does nothing for his resume. And will add to a long list of Who the F.uck is that opponents that litter GGG's legacy.

If you're so concerned about GGG's legacy, tell Danny Jacobs to stop ducking, tell Gilberto Ramirez to stop the "next year" ducking act, tell Eubank jr to stop ducking, tell Quillin he's a bum for ducking as long as he did, tell the boxing Gods they're *******s for letting Pirog get injured, tell Martinez it was weak of him to fight Murray and Cotto instead of GGG, and on and on and on.

I also want to see GGG move up and fight Gilberto Ramirez, the best 168 pounder, but Bob Arum didn't want it this year. He wanted it for next year. So what is GGG supposed to do? You guys keep blaming GGG for everyone else's reluctance to fight him. Who else? Degale and Jack were setting up their megafight all year. Degale already lost to a poor man's version of GGG at 168, even though he got the decision. Memo Heredia's version of Jack could be interesting for GGG, I mean slightly anyway, but again he planned on fighting Degale all year, don't think either of them wanted GGG yet. They want to unify, get the unification money at 168 against each other who aren't big punchers, wait for GGG to get older and even more known so they get a huge payday for the "risk" as they all say, admitting GGG is the riskiest opponent out there, and then maybe fight him in 2018 or whatever.

So what specifically is GGG supposed to do that he hasn't already done? Lara doesn't want to fight him either unless he gets paid more than GGG, it was all talk. HBO can't afford to pay Lara 3 million. So what exactly is GGG supposed to do? You keep letting the people ducking him off the hook, you keep allowing it to happen, because every time they duck him, you blame him, not them, for it, so why wouldn't they keep ducking him if they know they won't get blamed for it?

I mean just in 2016 alone GGG tried to fight two black fighters with ELITE SPEED and ELITE POWER, Jacobs and Eubank. For anyone else, those would be extremely dangerous fights! Then GGG tried to fight one of the biggest body punchers and stars in the sport, Canelo. So GGG already tried to fight THE THREE fastest, most powerful, or simply most powerful, fighters in his division, all in one year! He also still wants to fight Froch, who was the biggest puncher at 168 besides Ramirez, and Ramirez, THE biggest puncher who also has a huge reach advantage on Golovkin.

I mean what else is GGG supposed to do? He has tried to chase down and fight every single guy from 160 to 168 besides Ward, who walks around 30 pounds heavier, was a "scaled down light heavyweight" even when he was at 168 according to his own trainer, and who wasn't even willing to get in the ring with GGG without having two tuneups first even though GGG was the one moving up to Ward's weight class, and who GGG still wanted to fight but the truth is the money wasn't there yet for either of them, which is why Ward stalled talks just as much or more than GGG's side.

So once you actually understand what happened with GGG-Ward, that criticism is off the table, and you can literally say GGG has tried to fight every top guy from 160 to 168. So what else is he supposed to do? They keep refusing to sign to fight him. They don't want to fight him. Now he's almost 35 years old and fighters are seeing him slip, so it wouldn't surprise me if Jacobs fought him now, which is a great fight. But up until now he's been too dominant and all the top guys besides Lemieux and Murray have ducked him, and there's nothing he can do about it.

Canelo needs to move up and put an immediate end to this embarrassing 'title reign'.

Saunders is *****, he's holding a belt hostage and he really brings nothing to the sport.

[daggum]

isn't khurtsidize his mandatory? he would get destroyed by him so hes better off taking a big money fight and cashing out before he loses

[Clegg]

Not sure if these are the most up to date rankings but guessing Warren will try getting Langford moved to the top spot. Hope the WBO force Khurtsidze instead doe.


1. Avtandil Khurtsidze
2. Tommy Langford
3. Ryota Murata
4. David Lemieux
5. Hassam N’Dam N’Jikam

[kiaba360]

This guy is absolute garbage. Fortunately for him the WBO ranking list is a who's who of absolute nobodies. He could spend the rest of his life dishing up ****fest after ****fest and continue to call himself a world champ. What a f***** farce.

I'd pick several guys in the WBO rankings to beat the Saunders we saw yesterday.

[Bronx2245]

Now entering the ring, WHITE TYSON! I don't think BJS wants that work! Avtandil Khurtsidze is a beast!

[Flash13]

Is this official? This is what I'm rooting for. The WBO said mandatory next, so it better be him.
