Why doesn't GGG want to fight his mandatory, derevyanchenko?????

[Graz]

Apart from Saunders if Deveryanchenko is the mandatory that’s who Golovkin should fight. Andrade or Charlo next. Jacobs or Canelo nope.

[ThomasJK]

Be an interesting fight but Dev just fought last month or so. Andraide or Charlo would be my picks.

He's available

He isn't a southpaw like Andrade, so you can't make that excuse

Why are they overlooking him?

Because Derevyanchenko fought on March 3rd, and will probably want a full 10-12 week camp if he was to face GGG, who was intensely training for the Canelo rematch, so will be in top shape come May 5th...

Why don't you make topics about the other fighters ducking GGG. We hear GGG ducked this and that guy, but did he actually duck? Or did they duck when offered the fight for real...

He said he wanted to fight GGG on may 5th


So did andrade but they would rather face some 21 year old mexican who hasn't even fought at 160

The other mexican guy prospect they wanted to fight had fought ten days ago I believe...

I'd like to see GGG fight Derev.

I would like to see them fight as well, but him saying he wants to fight GGG does not mean that his team did any moves to make it happen, and sign the actual paperwork... Hearn and Joshua saying they want Wilder but make every b*tch move possible to avoid him...

[soul_survivor]

is this Dev fella any good? At the moment I havent seen anything that suggests he is any better than Spike. Honestly, as long as GGG doesn't sc**** the barrel and fight some nonsense, I don't fault who he fights. He has been in camp to prepare for his biggest ever fight and then the guy pulls out, I wouldnt expect him to come back and fight a truly top class name.

[TonyGe]

He should. In my book Derevyanchenko should be #1 priority with Saunders and Charlo unavailable right now. Andrade would be a good opponent too, possibly trickier, but the mandatory should take precedence. Also it shouldn't be too difficult to negotiate unless Sergei wanted higher than his mandated split of the purse... we'll see though, it ain't long to negotiate a fight and they may be wary about getting into negotiations which may drag out and risk losing the date altogether (a la Jacobs).

Yeah can they negotiate the fight in time for the set date? This gives his opponents a lot of leverage.

[Derranged]

Cuz he scurred a dem slick Ukrainians mayne!

[NEETzsche]

The only reasons I can think of is that he's unmarketable and too risky. It should 100% be him though, even if in an ideal world he'd get one last win against the likes of Andrade before his title shot
