Originally posted by Verus View PostGiven the age disparity, there is no way the Canelo and GGG could have fought each other at their peak prime. When GGG was 28 Canelo was 20. Now that Canelo is 28 GGG is 36, "c'est la vie" or in deference to GGG's affinity for Mexican Style, in Spanish it is: "asi es la vida."
But the reality is that GGG has been chasing money, not legacy from day 1. He has also been careful to minimize risk. He kept calling out a much smaller Mayweather and kept calling out Canelo when Canelo became a rainmaker, even to the point of saying the 5'8" Canelo was bigger than him. It is only after Canelo signed to fight him that GGG admitted that Canelo was much smaller. It is for that reason that GGG avoided Andre Ward and others.

All top contenders suddenly became bums in hindsight when GGG disposed of them with ease.

Originally posted by Andrij View PostI want to see a 3rd fight so that GGG cheerleaders can finally see how their man gets outclassed and stopped late. Btw GGG fought regional champs & tomato cans his entire career until 2017. Useless to do it again for peanuts and without World titles.

Originally posted by Andrij View PostThen why the "mighty" GGG refused to fight bigger guys at 168 like an Andre Ward ??? All Elite Champions moved up in weight (Floyd,Roy Jones,Hopkins etc.) but GGG strangely refused. Explain me why when he was apparently knocking out Light Heavyweights & Cruiserweights in sparring ?
GGG came into the pro game as a Middle Weight in his very late twenties, almost 30. A body doesn't grow after that age.
Why didn't you address the ducked at 160 part. GGG was THE MAN at 160 for so long, and he was ducked throughout his reign.

Originally posted by Andrij View Post"GGG came into the pro game as a Middle Weight in his very late twenties, almost 30." - GGG started his pro career at 24 !
I think his actual career started in 2012 when he started in the States...

Was he hyped a bit? Absolutely.
Does he deserve to be berated? Not at all. He's a damn good fighter. Just not ATG in my book though.
However...Does his fanboys deserve to be ridiculed? Absolutely lol
