if i was GGG

[Randall Cunning]

I don't buy that for one second. Sure HBO offered a lower fee since it's not PPV but team GGG didn't even send an offer to Andrade or Derevyanchenko so we they can't say any of them is too pricey.

How much were they offering Vanes? When they get a fighter they truly want they will suddenly see the budget for it.

GGG don't just want either Andrade or Derevyanchenko and this is the perfect time to get them and crush them.

They wanted $1mil to fight each other, which HBO wouldnt pay for. Man I aint interested in the Vanes fight at all, Id sooner he ditched the date and negotiate with Saunders. But looks like were stuck with this because of the budget.

C'mon man. Why would you want to see that fight? Vanes has not fought in 2 damn years. On top of that, he is a junior middleweight and you are saying let's see if GGG the killer punching full middleweight beats him quicker?

"HBO won't pay much". Let's hear the offer first then we can judge. Derevyanchenko is his mandatory, that guy is going no where till he gets his fight or GGG is stripped.

I have no idea what the different offers to the different fighters were. I just read Breadman and Dryor or whatever his name is say Vanes was willing to fight for much less than the other guys. I also wish GGG was fighting Andrade or the Russian but I am not his manager and don't get to tell him who to fight. I am not thrilled about the Vanes fight but I enjoy watching GGG fight and Vanes is a fighter, not a runner. I find it interesting that Vanes's fights with Lara, Andrade and Jermell are a matter of record so GGG's results against Vanes can be compared with their results against Vanes.

If I'm GGG to hell with the backlash I would take a soft opponent on short notice to shake off any rust he may have after only fighting 1 time in a year for the first time ever in his career. After that then you can comeback next fight and take on your IBF Mandatory in Derevynchenko and/or Jermall Charlo your WBC Mandatory. I doubt Canelo will be allowed to fight in September so he can fight one of them next if no Canelo in September

Might not be the Popular Route but it would be the smartest! Once again it is NOT HIS FAULT that GGG vs Canelo is off and now he is trying to setup a new opponent. Or he could give up this date and agree to fight Derevynchenko at a later date

People love to bash PBC and Showtime but HBO doesn't seem to be willing to put up much money for quality match ups but that gets ignored

He never fought once a year.

He never fought once a year.

You Right I keep thinking that he fought Canelo Last May for some reason but that was in September but still this is a longer than usually layoff for him in between fights because he didn't take another fight in between the last fight vs Canelo thinking he was getting a rematch

"If I was GGG"

I couldn't get past this line..........what do you know about being a pro boxing champion of the world?

Ray

He's played a few Fight Night games so I think he knows what he is talking about.

Yes this is bad for him to be inactive for so long at this stage of his career.

GGG has become the new Floyd Mayweather, you all can't keep that G slong out of your mouth

Floyd called out Manny. Manny wouldn't take OSDT and needed an outdoor stadium and the split wasn't enough and Floyd isn't the commission.

Here gennady is running from those calling him out.

Floyd fought Hatton, Mosley, Ghost, Canelo, etc. The guys I mentioned aren't the greatest, but their "calls" got answered.

Gennady cant answer Andrade or Sergey???

Typical gggroupie

All I read is a whole bunch of slurping, please take the dxck outta your mouth.

It sounds like you have your mind firmly made up that GGG is in mortal terror of Andrade and Derevyanchenko, the 12 pro fight boogieman and you are trying to convince this forum to agree with you. You sound like another GGG hater who started this thread just to trash him. Those who already hate GGG will agree with you and those who respect him as a good champion will not agree with you. He is fighting Vanes next so take it or leave it. Say he is ducking these two scary middleweights all you want but it won't change anything. Sooner or Later Andrade and the Russian will fight a Jermall, a Jacobs, a Canelo or a GGG and we will find out how good they really are or aren't.

Just because GGG pisses me off doesn't mean I hate him. I dislike Stevenson, you don't see me making threads of him. But you are right, my mind is firmly made up that he doesn't want Andrade or Derevyanchenko before the Canelo rematch cuz he isn't too sure of himself winning or winning clean.

What I am saying is, if he is ducking cuz of the canelo rematch like i think he is, this was a golden opportunity to eliminate one of these guys and he blew that chance.
