I don't really give a fuc how many PFVs it sells. The two best middleweights in the world are fighting each other. Jacobs has KOed every one of his last 12 opponents. GGG has KOed every one of his last 24 opponents. If Jacobs and GGG are bums then every boxer in the world are all bums. I am more excited about this fight than any other fight. Do you think it will go the distance with no knockdowns like Thurman vs Garcia did? I don't think so.Comment

GGG has tons of paper belts that were given outside the ring and guess what none of that helped him in negotiations with cotto, or canelo. Floyd had every belt and boxing accolade possible was the unanimous number 1 p4p fighter in the world and Oscar was at the end of his career no longer on anyone's p4p lists and yet still Oscar was the cash cow biggest draw in the sport. So he had all the leverage and had his way in the negotiations and Floyd had little say in the matter could either take the deal on oscars terms and make at the time a career payday or continue being the best fighter that casual fans didn't know or care about.
GGG could win every belt he will still be the B side to Canelo and if he flops he has no leg to stand on to kill the fight over more money that he clearly doesn't deserve.
"GGG had PAPER belts."
Even though they're the same organizations' belts. Interesting how that language changes for certain fighters.Comment

Are you ****** or do you not see the difference between winning belts in the ring and being awarded paper belts OUTSIDE the ring? Floyd was lineal champ, beat the main man in MULTIPLE weight classes. GGG didn't beat the man, and only won 1 belt in the ring which was a vacant belt that lemieux won the fight before he faced GGG. I'm not even a fan of Floyd but to compare his belts he won and achievements to GGG is disrespectful to floyd. All belts are NOT equal how you got it and who you had to beat for it matters.Comment

Why do you have to disrespect?
He won some version of the WBA title and just because the WBA has a screwed up system, that's not his fault. It's also not his fault that Canelo would rather hand the belt over than fight him. That's pretty impressive to me. The guy has so little faith in himself to win that he hands the belt over. And of course, he dismantled Lemieux without losing a single round. In fact, when does GGG ever lose a round or get behind at all or not knock his opponent out? The belts can easily all be called paper belts since there are so many out there now, but GGG has walked through most of the division. He finally got Jacobs in the ring and after that, more names will follow. He wasn't brought up with daddy and uncle heavily involved in the sport. He did just as well as Mayweather in the amateurs. He's had a longer road because he had no name, but he's finally getting there. Give the guy a break. Geez. His style of fighting is much harder to be defensive minded while scoring KOs but he manages to do it unlike Mayweather who used a damn near "Only defense/got to kill him to beat him" style that put fans to sleep. And you clearly called the same belts paper for GGG and left that out for Mayweather. Don't expect that there aren't people on here who read the fine print.Comment

Like I said floyd had real belts, a real resume and all the accolades and it did NOTHING for him at the negotiation table with Oscar because he was the bigger star. There is no belt that he can grab that will help him bargain with canelo. He's the B side and needs to accept that and sign the offer he was given.Comment

You asked why they were paper belts and not the same as floyd I stated facts why. Only an idiot would put these belts in the same category. Either your an idiot or a newbie to boxing if you don't understand. Big difference beating the man, winning lineal titles in weight classes and having a punk as Jr wba title that don't mean nothing and not beating the champ just having it promoted to super wba ect. There are too many belts that don't mean shyt for me to give 2 phuks about GGG grabbing a couple of them. And if he wants to keep wasting his career because his promoter keeps turning down career fights then go cry to k2 not me about where he is. Until he man's up and signs the paper to fight canelo most people will continue to ignore him as you see with his terrible ppv buys and struggling ticket sales.
