too many of you guys expect every fight to have the pomp and circumstance of a canelo fight.....and you should know that doesnt happen.....and because a fight doesnt have that appeal doesnt mean it shouldnt be made.....ggg/ward was a huge fight in the world of boxing...it was relevant and feasible....and golovkin flat out wanted no part of it
