The difference between "ducking" GGG & ducking Spence

[Motorcity Cobra]

You said what I was thinking plus some. Great post

And you didn't see my post showing Loeffler saying Martinez never ducked GGG? Amd 154-168 was never realistic. Ward pulled GGG hoe card. He wouldn't fight Brook at a catchweight. And when he became mandatory for Canelo it was 160 only

Thurman is coming off a potentially career altering injury.

He's also got unfinished business with Porter, who most thought won 7 rds.
All three make great money just fighting. Porter because he's in with top 5 after top 5.
Garcia because of his vocal East Coast and boriqua fanbase.
Thurman because he's been on top of the division since Floyd and Manny were making arrangements.

Just wanted to ask if Showtime has signed Spence to a multi fight multi mil contract, and how it stacks up to GGGs.

Have you seen any of the 3 fighters i named complain about money for the fight?

Can't speak for Danny or Porter but Thurman said he isn't going anywhere neither is Spence.. Just wait till the dude recovers and you'll have the fight.. stop being a b1tch and keep fighting till then..

Y'all act like y'all forgot BJS agreed to fight him after the Jacobs fight. The fight was agreed to before the Jacobs fight. Loeffler saw they got lucky & shut it down cuz he didn't wanna risk a Canelo payday. Like Hunter said. Everybody they paid has fought them

Ggg is trying to duck charlo

You gotta hate when a great fighter is coming up while the top dog is bout to split.

GGG has Alvarez May
BJS in late Aug-early Oct.
Could he squeeze one more record extending defense in v Mallo? I'm sure he would.

But an early 2019 fight with the WBSS winner would be far more lucrative and legacy defining.

First of all that dropping down to 154 for Floyd and going up to 168 for anybody except Ward was nothing but a marketing ploy.

Secondly Martinez didn't duck him. Tom Loeffler said it himself.

GGG was willing to go to 154 for Floyd. Mr. 50-0 didn't want it. Ward was willing to go to 160 for Floyd but not GGG.

Wat? Porter won 7 rounds? no majority thinks that.

**** off you're just trolling. And Andre Ward was not a big fight for Golovkin. Golovkin was a big fight for Ward. You don't move up or down divisions just because.

how convenient right. doesn't look like his regular self against jacobs, here comes alvarez. doesn't get the W against alvarez, here comes people wanting to fight now.

and yet Golovkin won both fights.
The Jacobs fight he won easy. Just watch it and pay attention.

Golovkin does many subtle things that people do not notice because they have never been in a ring before.

When fighters were "ducking" GGG they all had the same excuse: MONEY!

Remember, these are the guys who paid Monroe Jr $100k to headline an HBO show in front of a sold out arena. Like Virgil Hunter said, everybody they paid has fought him.

Garcia, Porter, & Thurman know they're gonna get paid well to fight Spence. More than any GGG B-side opponent has ever made. The reward will be worth the risk but they still wont fight him. That's fear.

I think both guys were ducked. The difference is that Errol Spence is a fellow American. They can't say who is that euro guy.
