    Why wasn't 97k fighting Ward 8 years into his pro career?
    In 2014 GGG had only been fighting in US for 2 years. Before that he was stuck with Universum back in Germany who wouldn't let him fight Sturm even though he was Sturm's mandatory.

    Canelo was fighting on Mayweather's undercards because GBP was copromoting Floyd's fights plus he had a huge US based fanbase.

    Golovkin would've killed for opportunities like that.

    Lol at comparing him to Canelo who was getting the red carpet treatment from the get go.

      By 2015 he was already headling HBO events and getting called out by Ward.

      In 2018 he's fighting Vanes Martyrosian.

      Don't give me this BS that he couldn't get fights.

        GGG VS.

        Ousmanu Adama Feb 1, 2014, Salle des Etoiles, Monte Carlo, Monaco

        Daniel Geale July 26, 2014, Madison Square Garden, USA

        Marco Antonio October 18 2014, StubHub Center, California

        He was way past fighting in Kazakhstan at that point.


        AGAIN, after 8 years as a PRO, and having fought in the USA, headlining HBO events, why wasn't he fighting Ward?
        It seems you're not able to comprehend or weigh situations.

        You're listing Canelo's fight vs Mayweather as some step up by him? It's the #1 money in the sport. Both GGG & even Ward wanted that fight & both were willing to give up more weight than Saul did in order to get it. It's Canelo's Mexican backing that got him the opportunity & elevated his name exposure. Everyone in boxing wanted that fight, it's what you call fortunate! Not some badge of honor!

        The question you should be asking Saul is when he was the WBC MW champ why wasn't he fighting GGG? Why fight Khan, Smith & Chavez that all made him less money than Golovkin did? Why drop his MW belt?

        GGG made an offer to Ward, a 50/50 split & meet in the middle offer! What can't you understand about that? What fight offers has Canelo ever made that haven't worked out? 10% or Flat fee to GGG?

        Fought Adama because Quillin (WBO MW Champ) turned down offer & wouldn't unify.
        Fought Geale because he was a former 2x Champ that had even dropped the WBA in order to avoid GGG earlier. This was after JCC had turned down his offer for a big $ fight.
        Fought Rubio to force WBC Mandatory position. This was after the IBF Champ Soliman had turned down his offer to unify.

        3 Champs that turned him down in the same year! The reasons are pretty simple but you'd have to accept reality to understand the situations.

          So Andrade, Charlo and Derevyanchenko were also on Clenbuterol?

          8 Years in NO WARD

          12 years in FOUR champions and fighting Vanes

          PATHETIC
          Like I said, he made an offer.

          Those guys must not have been available when Canelo was fighting Khan and Liam Smith, either, huh?

            I'm comprehending everything just fine. G-string is a duck. Plain and simple. 4 world champions fought in a 12 year career. There is no excuse for that. No matter how hard you G-string cuckboys try to excuse it.

            "147-168 anyone can get it" were his quotes. Why ask for a catchweight? Why complain about Canelo's made up weights and then ask for a 164 non-existant weight limit with Ward?

            fuck outta here with that shit.

            He's the B-side, asking for 50-50 is ridiculous. Every b-side fighter has always conceded to the A-side demands. You hear people calling Ward "97k"?

              A ridiculous offer that he knew Ward wouldn't accept,

              50/50 split and a catchweight?

              If it quacks like a duck

              Khan, Smith > Vanes and 12 years of beating bums.

                In 2015 he was chasing Cotto and then Canelo who vacated to avoid him.

                Vanes was a pointless fight, i agree, but let's not forget why he fought him: Canelo getting caught on juicing.

                That he couldn't get fights isn't bs, it's a well documented fact. Sturm, Sergio Martinez, Cotto and Canelo all blatantly avoided him.

                As for Ward, he 'sent' the offer after signed GGG the Lemieux fight. Correction, Ward said he did, we never seen the actual offer.

                In 2013, at a meeting at hbo headquarters Golovkin said he wants to fight ward. Andre, who was at that meeting as well said no.

                  Read my previous post about Ward. G-string was scared.

                  Andrade, Charlo and Derevyanchenko called him out but he picked Vanes. But lets keep blaming Canelo for that.

                    No, GGG was & is the A side vs Ward, where's your name for his ppv sales in his biggest fight? But GGG still made a fair offer knowing Andre couldn't draw much interest himself, he still was willing to take on the challenge at middle ground. Much more fair than Canelo's to GGG! Switch the shoe on the foot. Why did Canelo want a made up weight vs GGG even though he was the MW Champ at the time & Golovkin was his mandatory? Not meet in the middle at 157.5, not split the proceeds more equitably. Why offer 10% even though Mandatory deserved much more? Yet you say GGG's offer wasn't fair to Andre? WTF?

                    You asked why GGG fought those 3 & I gave you the reasons. You keep changing the goal posts.

                    Btw, the quote was 154 to 168, not 147 but hey, why start getting your facts right now?
