Chris Mannix calling out Golovkin for ducking, says he should be stripped.

[Robbie Barrett]

But not a IBF mandatory.

He had permission to fight a WBC mandatory not a voluntary.

[SAINTSTEVE]

I'm don't think it's been determined yet that the IBF will allow Vanes fight as an optional defense. If the IBF strips him then GGG vs Saunders won't be for all the belts.

Bunch of fucking haters.

GGG promised he would fight anyone from 154-168, Ward didn't want that work so Vanes stepped up. Sure Vanes hasn't fought in 2 years and is getting this fight on 2 weeks notice and has never really been a top fighter but the point is GGG is going back to his roots. Fighting those top Middleweights is hard work, they also won't stay down or even drop when u hit them. GGG has been in a funk, Sanchez is lining up homeless men from Venice to Skid row for sparring, GGG is getting that mojo back.

Golovkin promoter, Tom Loeffler, saying Martirosyan—who has not fought in two years, lost his last fight and is not a draw in LA—is more marketable than mandatory challenger Derevyanchenko is laughable. They are ducking Derevyanchenko, pure and simple.

Golovkin deserves to be stripped of the IBF belt. For years we chided champs for dodging Golovkin. It goes both ways. Your mandatory is due, you fight. You don’t, you lose the belt.

Nice to see someone in the media saying how it is.

I'm too late as the gggroupies are already drooling for ****.

This is fact though. Gggirl is scared after drawing with Danny J and losing cleanly to Ca$hnelo.

So sad.

lmfaoooooo

So they strip him. He is still the best middleweight in the world and the one most fans think of as the true middleweight champ. Stripping him won't change that. Nobody will recognize their new champion until he beats GGG in the ring if he can.

Canelo already beat him and it can be argued Danny did too.

You cant be the best of anything fighting JMW Vanes, Stevens, WW Brook, MW Wade and Monroe.

Wow. What a resume. MW GOAT LMFAOOOOO

he's fought anyone from 147-160 only at 160

Ducking? Nah
Full of shyt? YES

[BlakBread904]

The IBF had already granted Golovkin a voluntary defense for May. Why would they strip him?...

this!

If the IBF had plans to strip GGG, they would have done so.

GGG/Vanes is a fine fight considering the circumstances. Boxing fans are some of the most irrational folk on earth.

That’s what am hearing.
