Comments Thread For: Derevyanchenko: GGG Wasn't Scared; Team Had Another Plan

[_original_]

This guy is being too humble.

[Andrij]

Thats Derevyanchenko´s first and last World title fight. He will lose on points to Jacobs and after this none of the Champs want to fight him. Because Derevyanchenko is a high risk, low reward fight. Similar to Luiz Ortiz at Heavyweight.

Give me a second, adding Derevyanchenko to list of pathetic GGG defenders

Derevyanchenko is definitely NOT a GGG defender. He said in this Interview that Canelo CLEARLY beat GGG in the rematch . Interview ---> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVB3JQZl0go

[ThunderFists]

GGG did have another plan: Vanes Martirosyan! Dervy is a good guy, but that was a "classic duck" and GGG rightfully lost his title for it! GGG got the fight and the money he wanted, and he caught an "L" for all his troubles! Now let's see if he fights Charlo, as ordered by the WBC, or does he SWERVE again?

Charlo is fighting a guy whose already was knocked out by ggg 5 years ago LMAO dont compare charlo to a GGG

[uppercut510]

there is no money in that fight!

lol at fans hiding behind politics and money as if it benefits them, id rather have saw that, than vanes.

[Diego Rodriguez]

GGG haters claimed that GGG was scared. LMAO!!!

They are morons.

I think if Derevy wins he could be Golovkin’s next opponent.

[TheCell8]

Golovkin was not going to jeopardize a $30M + payday by fighting a top fighter on short notice.

I don't begrudge him at all. Because anything can happen in a fight. He could've gotten injured, he could've gotten cut, or worst case scenario he could've lost. All these scenarios would've cost him the fight. It just wasn't worth it.

Obviously I would've rather seen this fight than a fight with Vanes, but knowing the situation he was in I can understand the decision he made.

[MisanthropicNY]

Only person GGG legit ducked was Ward at 164. He should have taken that fight. I think his team made him feel they didn't have confidence in him when they balked at that.

Charlo is fighting a guy whose already was knocked out by ggg 5 years ago LMAO dont compare charlo to a GGG

GGG just fought a guy (Vanes) that Jermell Charlo beat @ 154 in 2015! The WBC has ordered Charlo vs. GGG! Let's compare them once they meet in the ring! And if they don't meet in the ring, then for your sake (and the many like you), let's hope it's not GGG who SWERVES the fight!

Would have been better than seeing him dispose of Vanes with the quickness
