    How about, I don't hate GGG...I hate that he fought Rolls when Andrade, Charlo, Jacobs and Saunders or even 168lb options are out there.

    I hate that he took 9 months off and decided to go for a showcase against a 36 year old bum and feels entitled to a rematch against the big money draw over Callum Smith, Charlo, Saunders, Andrade, etc.

    Instead of giving fans something with more substance, a challenge since he loves to run his mouth, he gave his blind followers a big drama show.

    That's flat out what I don't like. GGG, I don't mind him. His decisions on the final years of his career, I mind because I'm a boxing fan.
    Again, these are your personal feelings bro. The world doesn't fuel up or go on your personal feelings. What would happen if you went up to a movie theatre and said "i hate that the last gen x-men movie was about a chick" after buying a ticket? They wouldn't pay you any mind. So either you don't watch, watch what won't upset you or bother, or move on and don't partake. As a boxing fan there are literally a thousand fighters in the ranks, and a few thousand coming into the sport. The fact that so many people harp and create so many threads about this guy is laughable. You said your piece on him, move on. We ain't changing nothing, we aren't going to change the fact he fought rolls, we aren't going to dictate whom he fights next. It's all pointless complaining in the end. The only other sport I see this level of "my opinion is the most important thing in the world" is within football and it's still pointless. We are a consumer, just like everything else you either tune in or change the channel. Boxers put their lives on the line, ain't a single one of us going to change a diaper, spoon feed em, or go spend the night keeping vigil when they end up hurt or altered for life. After Magomed I stopped that shhh myself, the reality of this sport and what we demand versus the politics and the view from the inside don't align.

        the problem is Hearn's boss wants canelo vs ggg, so hearn had to put a bit of a roadblock there, he could even go as far as advising andrade not to take it that soon, but like you said if andrade wants this badly he should take it....
        Hearn's boss wanted GGG vs. Andrade too! That didn't happen! Maybe the boss isn't as powerful as we think?

          its clear he just wants to get paid, he won the first fight (imo) and lost the 2nd, nobody really wants to see a 3rd either fight a decent name or spare us with the canelo talk... its old news

            I think it's only a matter of when. Jacobs signed, and he got his shot! Andrade signed, so he should get his shot! A MW fight for all 4 belts is historic! DAZN asked GGG to fight Andrade and he declined! Are they going to let GGG do whatever he wants to do? That wouldn't be fair to Andrade!
            You thinking someone deserves a shot and them getting it are all cool and whatnot. Hell I thought back in 2012 Golovkin deserved his shot too..didn't get it for two years at least. That's what we as fans do, but DAZN is going to do what DAZN wants to do, if they want him to fight Andrade they will. It's not up to us and until DAZN itself says they wanted to make that fight it's just one said saying one thing.

              I'm sick of Canelo vs GGG.

              I want a new fight.

              So Canelo vs Charlo or Spence or whoever besides GGG.

              GGG, I want you to face someone that matters.

              No more ***ing Vanes, or Rolls, or Rubio.

              It's a damn fair request to have GGG fight a dangerous opponent besides Canelo.

              Quit focusing on Canelo as he's handling his business and just fought Jacobs.

              The question is who the hell is GGG consistently facing and why? He needs to step it up. PERIOD!

                Please explain why GGG needs to fight Andrade, but Canelo doesn't?

                Please explain why GGG is obligated to give Jacobs a rematch, but Canelo isn't?

                Please explain why GGG should have to fight Charlo, who is Canelo's mando, instead of Canelo?
                Please explain why GGG fought Vanes and Rolls???

                  Deserve has nothing to do with it or Whyte would be fighting Wilder. It's about risk reward and that's a risky list you have for less money and that's what GGG is counting on.

                    maybe not, but there is still a few tricks they can try, and andrade's date is one of those...

                      Exactly, it's not a GGG hate thing.

                      It's just that the fight is old news. Bring something like a belt or fight someone worthy.

                      GGG thinks we're still in 2017.
