    Good! What a relief to hear? GGG needs to stop chasing this clown and start cementing his own legacy. He's the undefeated and undisputed Middleweight champion of the world. So whenever Golden Boy decides it wants to do business they know where he can be found.

      He is remembered for beating blown up WW and getting knocked out of the ring

        Blown up welterweight or guys who steadily moved up and campaigned at that weight? He himself moved up to weight classes and fought the best and continued to fight the best, win or lose

            They outgrew the division. Oscar was dead at welterweight when he fought Pacquiao.He fought Hopkins at a catchweight withing the middleweight limit. Tito had a couple fights below welterweight early in his career but was always a big welterweight and beat Joppy and Mayorga at middleweight.

              Basically an admission that chasing Canelo was all about the money. "All the helys doe...".

                and yet, they still need the WBO.

                In fact, again, Abel, doesn't EVER mention the WBO even though he represents his fighter. You'd think he'd like media to constantly know that they are truly after the WBO.

                But Abel is content with the defensive streak as it's something he wouldn't mind having under his own ''Training'' belt of merit, that he ''beat'' Bernard's record.
                Little bit of special shakes they can use over there in no man's land too!

                  LOL Hopkins is a weight Bully, it wasn't a surprise he beat a slow molasses in Tarver when he himself is 6'1. His work ethic and his discipline is what keeps him on making weight and catchweights.

                    GGG is looking to get 10m from his next fight. People still harping about how he needs canelo to escape poverty is hilarious. Dude's next fight is possibly the most prestigious fight of modern times where a unified mw champ will emerge.

                    Gbp and the haters wants to put a stop to that so he doesn't gain more leverage. Not happening. But imagine how popular GGG vs canelo fight will be for all the belts. Will easily beat 1m buys. Gbp just wants the upperhand in negotiations

                      what else does he have? No belts, only money. All boxers chase money, that's what boxing has been about since its inception.

                      It's good that GGG is chasing it after the belts and prestige. Now he can knock that ginger out
