    Stop with the exaggerated bull****. It's one fight that has been made on less than a month's notice since Canelo was suspended.

    I don't care for it, but don't make it out to be more than it is. Using a plural is outright lying.

      So GGG has 3 paper belts mandos? Cool, those multi organization doesn't make sense especially when you have a unified champion like GGG.

      He will probably fight BJS and Nelo next for the WBO and ring belt.


      I know you will try to put this on GGG, your agenda is pretty much obvious.
      GGG can't fight 3 mandos on the same night.

      The sad thing is most of those 7 elite guys I mentioned will never fight each others.
      They will fight each other, not just now when there is a big fish holding multiple belts sitting idle in the pond.

      This is what GGG and most boxing fans hated a few years ago, keeping a man waiting when he is the mando for a belt. "Strip him", " drop the belt" they said.

      If Canelo comes off a year of not fighting along with the knee surgery and fights GGG, that will be amazing but I doubt that happens so GGG better start figuring out who he will fight among those mandos or Saunders.

        1. You have the bigger star at 160 Nelo suspended

        2. You have the champ GGG fighting bums and waiting after a Nelo paycheck instead of fighting other elite 160 pounders.


        3. Then you have the others elite 160 pounders Andrade, Charlo, BJS, Derev, Jacobs fighting bums too and begging for a GGG showdown instead of fighting each others.

        160 isn't going nowhere at this point.
        It wouldn’t be a mess if Clenelo hadn’t cheated. Fck him.
        See. That’s what’s wrong with your post. You blame GGG, but Clenelo is the crook. Don’t forget that.

          It's a mess because Lil g is neck deep in Canelos ass sniffing around for a payday.

          Only solution is to strip him of every belt and let other fighters eat too.

          Lil g and his minions loved mandatories until those mandos became mofos with a pulse. How convenient.

              Perfect time for a Super Six at !60. Of course it ain't gonna happen cause guys like Junkmail, Boo Boo, Miracle Man and Double Wide would rather talk trash and fight cans than fight each other.
              I give Golovkin a pass cause Alvarez forced a short notice opponent and Golovkin's last 2 fights were against top guys.

                Agreed except for Derev, Andrade, and Jacobs being "elite" I don't know how many more fights GGG has left in them (hoping a decent amount, as he's always entertaining) but he wants Canelo and BJS while having 3 mandos coming up too...

                  Derev is elite? No one heard of him until a month ago. lol.

                  Jacobs is fine but we already had that fight.

                  GGG vs Saunders is what is needed.

                  And of course, all of this is Canelo's fault... drug cheat AND only fights twice a year.

                      thats a problem and not an argument.

                      it's too easy to get a mandatory shot against a unified champ and just wait until you get the call.

                      you have three different routes to become mandatory to golovkin and none requires to take risks.

                      charlo: beat heiland and centeno. both around top20 guys.

                      murata: beat hassan. that's it. everyone beats Hassan, even quillin.

                      derevyanchenko: beat johnson and soliman. one top20 dude one way past prime former champ.

                      that's what is required nowadays to get a shot against the #1?


                      solution?

                      either back to one belt, so it's much more difficult to get a mandatory shot.

                      or

                      requiring mandatories of the different sanctioning bodies to fight against each other for the mandatory. one top guy vs another top guy for the right to fight against the top guy.
