How is Canelo to blame??? He had time to fight Vanes, why not get his mando out the way instead?

HE should’ve thanked canelo, for withdrawing and giving ggg a chance to get that out the way... but vanes happened

[JohnCastellanos]

IKR!!! These guys are always playing the victim!!!

[Boxing Goat]

?????

wtf are you talking about?

both team ggg and ggg himself are being hypocrites....

this is all on them and somehow thats equates to me "not liking" him so then you go and say I only like black fighters and what not?

"all the while erislandy lara had to prove himself in order to get a fight with ggg but i guess vanes didnt

anyone 154-168 doe
no one wants to fight doe"

Sound familiar?

Anyone who follows boxing knows the situation with Canelo. GGG already beat him and is the legit champ. He should now hold all the belts except BJS belt and should be making his mando defense in Aug.

This is on Canelo and those who dispute it should explain why you think GGG should be degraded over it. It's because you don't like him personally because there sure isn't anything to dislike about his boxing style or ability, that's for d@mn sure.

Explain yourself my man. Be honest.

True. But can't hold the titles hostage. For guys like Sergiy & Danny those titles matter and give them negotiating leverage. GGG used them th get to where he is. Others want to do the same

Idk that GGG was holding the belts "hostage". I legit think he thought he had the power to step on "Canelo's date" PLUS get the ABC Group to give him some leeway as they've given others.

I mean we all can name a dozen or more situations worse then the one GGG got stripped for that others didn't if you woke us out of a sudden sleep at 3:24am thats how mundane & w/e the corrupt is with these ABC Groups. The main mistake GGG & his team made here was thinking the IBF was the ABC Group that'd give them leeway.

All ya'll had to do was fight your damn Mandatory on May 5th..How hard is that to understand?

And its not like May 5 was the deadline. To me Vanes is fine on May 5 cuz he's not much of a challenge for GGG, but if I'm fighting Derevyanchenko I think Imma want a lil more time. But I think the IBF would have easily given him more time to schedule a fight for late May to early July to fight Derevyanchenko & clear the mandatory situation w/o all this drama.

I think GGG was trying to be slick here. He wanted to step on Canelo's date, he didn't wanna take a risk for a guy as good as Derevyanchenko on short notice & he thought the IBF would give him more leeway then they did for some dumbass reason. And hell maybe the IBF was being cooler with him then normal cuz this stripping situation was the one most clearly defined before the fact that I think I can recall in a long ass time. So the IBF seemed like they were trying to guide GGG through this situation w/o losing the belt, but GGG's ego & desire to try to get over on Canelo f#cked up his sh^t.

6 months would of been fair and then do a written statement you want to be considered for their rankings again.

When you are the WBA number one, you don't have to fight for all of the belts. He didn't do anything wrong by choosing not to fight for the IBF.

It's just like anytime a champ gets stripped the org goes down the list to try to make the best fight from the highest fighter in their ranks. If 1 vs 2 cant be made, then 3 says no , they move to 4 and so on and so on. That's not equal or close to failing a drug test and being suspended.

GGG made a mistake by not defending his belt...it's not Jacobs fault he was stripped.

You know why....do you really just want me to say it on here........again?

[_Rexy_]

In fairness anyone with a brain in or around 160lbs is chasing Canelo. Why wouldn't everyone be chasing the guy who'll give them their best payday & potentially alter their life from then on?

Not a great look for the guy most perceive as the #1 guy in the division, but being the #1 guy in the money is important too lets not bs about it.

not to mention that Canelo is lineal MW champ. I don't understand the people who in the same damn paragraph will call out GGG for wanting to unify the division and then call him a hypocrite for wanting to beat Canelo.
