Damn! GGG has 3 mandatories in a year!

Enter Vanes.

Vanes fight doesn't pay that much!

[MulaKO]

I've said this before too.

GGG should forget about legacy and all that stuff at this point. If it hasn't happened to this point, it will never happen. Too old and too late in boxing years.

Instead, be honest with yourself and the fans, and take whatever fight makes you the most money, and get out.

Screw the critics!

Now I can agree with that
Don’t care what anybody thinks
Make the coin
Come out of it normal ( lol )
Retire baby
That’s a fughin winner to me
Because even if you wanna be politically correct in this sport
Sorry but it just don’t work that way
One thing or another will sway you
So fugh it

Your words remind me of this Floyd expression: "I won't let boxing retire me, I'll retire from boxing." Now, that's a smart man!

Good post.

Gotcha! Nothing like Canelo money.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Yup and War Canelo!

to GGG getting KTFO by Canelo on El Grito!

[Eff Pandas]

I honestly don't expect either GGG or Canelo to get through Jacobs, Derevyanchenko & Charlo (or BJS if we counting the other title holder). Massive respect if either does.

Mandatories everywhere and Vanes isn't one of them. What a waste of time. The StubHub will be empty if they don't give out free tickets. Even Chocolatito said fucc that.

He will fight Canelo for the huge payday. GGG fears nobody but he fights for a living and is old for a boxer and slowing down. He had a goal of winning all the belts and he gave it a mighty try. He also has an obligation to himself to make as much money as possible while he still can. The Canelo fight is a must if he is to do this. Even if he fights 3 times a year he can possibly fight Canelo and 3 bad ass mandatories in time to make everybody happy. He is going to be stripped of 1 or more of his titles but as long as he beats Canelo and fights only top middleweights(no Vanes type guys) after that and beats them most fans will still consider him the true middleweight champion. The majority opinion of boxing fans means more than any belt.

Good perspective. The reality is this is a business first and "sport" second!

[A.K]

This is a interesting situation I think he retires or moves up after beating the cheat.
