    History shows us GGG would refuse to fight Floyd until he "got his dollars up" then he'd willingly fight him for the payday, you know like he was willing to fight chavez or froch but not ward.

    Floyd would ask him to take PED tests. I think GGG would willingly because he doesn't seem like a cheater.

      That can be countered, it's done so with track and field and running backs (who usually also partake in T&F). It requires year round management though and it doesn't seem to me like Canelo is an athlete that does any year round conditioning work.

        That G went the distance with Jacobs and Canelo after brutalizing so many others is a bit suspect doe.

            These are two of the best boxers on this f**king earth. Either of them losing or struggling with the other isn't sad at all.

                He wasn't willing to stand and trade because he knew he would eventually get beaten down trading. He felt the punches and he decided he would lose playing that game..

                  It's pretty sad that people think being 35 is supposed to doom your chances of ever beating a younger, worthwhile opponent.

                    This has to be a joke. GGG would never avoid a fight with Floyd in any matter.

                      After watching a couple video's of Canelo's road work there is room for major improvements. He looks like he is going through the paces more so then he is actually pushing himself past any limits.
