Everything was Floyd's choice. And I approve or understand why things went down like they did in every case before the Berto fight. But the reality is the Berto fight was a complete garbage fight, that was just a victory lap fight. Just like GGG vs Vanes. Top fighters at the top of their game shouldn't have victory lap fights.
I'm more often called a Floyd fanboy then a hater/critic. Saw him win the Michigan GG at 118(?) at the Wyoming, MI National Guard Armory back in the day. A fan every since. Reality is reality doe. And its a small hit to his legacy to me, but a hit to his legacy all the same he didn't keep up his end of the career streak fighting top 3, top 5 guys like he had for several years up til Berto.
Can't fault him for the McGregor thing. That was a freak show that just had too much money involved in it to not do it so I get that one.
Sure, but they could save some of that audience by putting GGG in with a real guy. Show me GGG vs Derevyanchenko, show me GGG vs Charlo, show me GGG vs BJS, show me GGG vs Jacobs II. There might be a few more fights in there that are two or three levels above this one, but my main point is there were many much better choices for the #1 guy at MW to fight on this big date despite Canelo not being allowed to fight.
This is a wasted fight. Wasted time. Wasted brain cells.
Nobody will hold that against him except his critics.

And many people won't tune in to GG Vanes. That's expected because of the big let down of Canelo being caught.
