He doesn't want to lose, because without the title he loses money. I'm saying that he gives the impression that he doesn't really believe he can win. Apart from saying two years ago outright that he couldn't win, he now says he's banking on Golovkins age and might get knocked out. So no, since he's never talked that way about anyone else I think he has serious doubts that he can win. He probably would prefer Canelo or Eubank both, who would be good earners. But let's face it, if he really wants the fight, why is he talking like he's got one foot out the door, saying he ain't hanging around, tweeting he's moving on while he's own promoter says nothing has been decided. Whatever way you frame it he doesnt sound confident and he sounds negative about the fight happening. What I objected to was you telling me I think him or Jacobs was afraid because I've never said that. We all know what afraid means, it infers a fighters a coward. That word get dropped alot around here. Not by me. And I sure don't know where you got the idea of said anything negative about Jacobs, which you stated I did. I've never said he's ducking, and never said anything negative about him at all.

Setting deadlines is nothing new. GGG did it. Canelo did it. Pacquiao did it. Mayweather did it.
GGG did it recently for Canelo negotiations, stating they missed out on fighting 4 times last year because of it, and are not hanging around this time. Does that mean GGG doesn't really want to fight Canelo?
Of course not. They are trying to force his hand.
It's obvious GGG wants to collect the other belt but really, wants to fight Canelo on September. After what Oscar came out and said last week, they don't want any excuses.
I think GGG would fight them both, but Oscar is looking for a way out.
Saunders is trying to force the issue.
Why would he not want to fight him? Payday of a lifetime and no-one expects him to win! He can come back and have just as good a career as before.
It's a no-lose situation for Saunders. (Except obviously, he'd lose the fight)Comment

it kind of makes you wonder...this "deadline" stuff.....why didnt golovkin ever set a "deadline" to move on from eubank fight? they played this whole "well eubank wouldnt sign and we were left with no fight so we had to take brook its all we could do".....which anyone with a brain knew it was a crock of BS
at a certain point if nothing is signed you move on...to plan B......Comment

I think it's no lose too. But I don't like to hear someone sound so negative about the biggest opportunity of his career. And everything about him seems wrong. And no, I'm not saying it's fear. Maybe despite saying he's happy with the deal he don't think it's enough. But he sounded resigned to its not gonna happen to me. But we'll know more next week.Comment

He doesn't sound too keen,is that why he held a press conference to say that gggs ducking him? Or does ggg holding a press conference to announce that he doesn't care what fans think or want,that hes NEVER going to rematch jacobs or face charlo but will fight bob the builder instead sound like jacobs is ducking him? How about him wanting to unify the belts in kazakistan where if he loses hell still get the win for sure,after having gotten the win vs jacobs where many say he lost? That just reeks of confidence to you doesnt it?Comment

There's no way Saunders gets out of this without losing any of the face he has left in boxing. Billy Joe get ready for the pain because it's coming your way in June. Time to put your big boy pants on and get in there with Golovkin. Although it will be tough to keep them up when you hand over your belt

Has Golovkin gone on record saying he can't beat Saunders? Does he do interviews where he says "I might well get destroyed?". So the guy can't fight once on Kazakhstan? He fought Jacobs in the US, Brook in the UK. Why the double standards? When did Golovkin say he'd never fight Jacobs again. He said in the interview that he would. When did he say he'd never fight Charlo? I get you don't like the guy, but what's with making stuff up? Alot of people though Golovkin won too, including the three judges Btw. You can't just turn it into a loss because you don't like the result. Nobody credible, including Jacobs thinks it was a robbery. So, like I say. You gonna tell me where he said no Jacobs rematch ever? No Charlo ever?Comment

No argument or affiliation with the other poster, just took issue with you fabricating a post.
You avoided the first point where you could've quoted him saying that everyone or anyone was scared of Golovkin. Again you didn't do it. That's all mate.
Agree that his confidence most likely could've grown since ggg's less than stellar performances of late, but it doesn't change the fact he's on record saying GGG would beat him and Eubank on the same night. I can get the video for you if you want.Comment
