What is even worse is Canelo is being called a punk and little b**** by his fellow fighter's and even many trainers.Boxing fans for the most part have known this all along. He should walk around with a pink diaper on and a GGG's B**** tattoo on his chest...How can he even face the public?

$10 million for a unification fight in your home country trumps anything the duck has to offerComment

I'm fairly certain that you "submit" to your employer daily. And you do so for a lot less money than GGG would make fighting Canelo. Unless of course you're one of those living-in-ya-mammy's-basement types.Comment

Why not talk A-side/B-side and the business of boxing? GGG didn't mind talking about it when it came to fighting Ward.
As for Canelo giving up the belt, then fighting the bigger Chavez Jr. Its very similar to how GGG was willing to fight Jr and Froch at 168. But would only fight Ward at 164. Chavez Jr is a bigger name and bigger fight than GGG. So Canelo was willing to make concessions.
But nobody gave up a belt except Canelo, that was the topic.Comment

Ggg: Give me my belt !
Con-elo: Yes, my king

Fighters give up belts all the time. The lineal middleweight title that Canelo is currently the holder of at one time had all four ABC belts attached to it in the immediate aftermath of the Hopkins-DLH fight. That title eventually reached a point where it had no ABC belts attached to it when Sergio Martinez was stripped of his lone remaining ABC belt, the WBC, when HBO refused to televise his WBC mandatory. Basically forcing him to drop the belt and fight another opponent.
Just a little history lesson for you. See, there was a point in time where fighters were applauded for dropping meaningless ABC belts. There was also a time where fighters were criticized for doing what GGG is doing. Roy Jones was routinely criticized for belt collecting and fulfilling the requirements it took to keep those belts.
I miss those days. I know you, and most of GGG's fanboys weren't following boxing back then. But it was a much better time.Comment

And secondly, Canelo isnt GGGs "employer". In a business sense, he is a colleague that GGG wants to make a deal with. Nothing more, nothing less. Canelo isnt his master, boss, daddy, or anything else. The deal either makes sense for both sides, or it doesnt get done.
You simply have the mentality of a person who is used to other people telling him what to do, when to do it, and who to do it with. Perhaps you should expand your horizons and discover that there are other ways of looking at the world, and that there is no rule that says you must submit just because the "a-side doe" says so. Sure, the chances of me ever becoming a billionaire are about zero. But the thing about money is that once you get past what you really need, the rest is just numbers on a bank statement every month. It has no real impact on your life.......Comment
