Derevyanchenko should tell ggg. "Hey max I don't care, just give me my belt"

Avoiding him makes sense. For that fight you need to prepare for him. Not just jump in. Also, preseve that canelo pay day. Folks might hate that. But its a business and a job. Who would really risk their money and work for just “respect.” Lets be real. We all work to get paid.

GGG has established himself as one of the finest in this era, haters can say whatever, he's technically good but also has a bit of 'step up and trade' beast in him. He's exciting to watch and not an a-hole outside the ring. If only he wasn't too big for Mayweather that would have been an awesome match up (Mayweather would never have wanted it though).

ggg always says he's not a businessman. Yet he avoids mandatories for a Canelo pay day that he may not even get.

Tom Loeffler, Golovkin’s promoter, told BoxingScene.com for a story posted Friday that, “Derevyanchenko wasn’t up to fighting May 5.”

DiBella and Connolly contend that is the furthest thing from the truth.

“That’s a complete lie,” DiBella told BoxingScene.com. “Sergiy was available the whole way. Tom knows that.”

Derevyanchenko’s team made it clear publicly after the suspended Alvarez withdrew April 3 that Derevyanchenko was willing to take that difficult fight against Golovkin on short notice. DiBella, Connolly, Derevyanchenko and an attorney representing the undefeated contender will attend Tuesday’s hearing, as will Golovkin, Loeffler and an attorney for Golovkin.

“As far as Loeffler coming out and saying recently Sergiy wasn’t ready to fight May 5, so it really didn’t push him back, that’s a flat-out lie,” Connolly told BoxingScene.com. “Tom knows damn well Sergiy was ready and willing to fight Golovkin on May 5th. We publicly said we were willing to fight May 5th. There are also several letters that were sent to Tom and the IBF, stating we were ready to take the fight on that date.

“The truth is they negotiated with several other fighters, but never even offered $1 for us to fight Triple-G on that date. They clearly avoided Sergiy and they know it. We are looking forward to Tuesday’s hearing and the IBF upholding the decision that Golovkin has to fight Sergiy next.”

Didn't I say this the other day _Maxi? Tom was spouting some alternative facts

All on board the Deverychenko train!!!!
Just fought an 8 ROUNDER against 22-22-3 opponent and only x-champ he fought was 56 year old Sam Soliman.

Golovkin last fought a 10 rounder in 2009 ffs. That is over 20 fights ago.

GGG vs Dervychenko is no different to GGG vs Wade.


Also, Keif Con is a pos imo. Already forgotten how team G generously compensated and missed a date in Dec to get Jacobs (his client) in the ring.
Now he wants to bring his attorney and steal the belt from him due to a technicality. Please don't use the biggest fight in boxing as leverage against GGG for a guy fighting 8 rounders.
Talk about biting off the hand that feeds you.
