    If you remember, ggg pretended to be about legacy until his cash out opportunities presented himself. Now he's about the money. Pretty much a phony. His fans could start demanding he make these fights. Why are they scared for him? He already has an official loss on his record, what is there to protect? Boggles my mind unless even his fans know he's a fraud.

      A massive shakeup has been occurring around boxing in regards to network implications with especially influential consequences in the middleweight division. We’re about two weeks removed since Canelo Alvarez rocked the sporting world that reached more than just casual fans – it made international financial headlines. The new streaming service DAZN offered to American audiences (as well as Canada, Japan, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria) had finally made a splash with a record shattering deal that genuinely could alter how boxing contracts are negotiated, both on an individual level for fighters and with their promoters, should they have one at the time of signing.


      The saunders figure was agreed to BEFORE the first Canelo fight when GGG was still saying he wanted all the belts



      And there is no justification for turning down Derevyanchenko and picking an inactive JMW in Vanes. No justification at all.

      Canelo had a longer layoff than GGG and he fought GGG right away.
      That's not turning down a fight is it? That is just a comment by Golovkins promoter. Means nothing. Charlo never made an offer, end of story.
      Canelo wasn't coming off a loss was he? Everything was excusable. With Derevyanchenko they needed a short notice replacement because Canelo failed a drug test.

      What Is inexcusable is if Golovkin doesn't get the Canelo trilogy and doesn't accept the Andrade fight next. He would have no reason not to take that fight if the trilogy isn't happening

            So tell me the reason he turned down these fights:

            Andrade
            Charlo
            Saunders
            Derevynchenko

            (I'm not even gonna put Ward in there because we all know why he didn't want that smoke)

            He went from nobody wants to fight me to I only want to fight nobodies and Canelo
            You are really a big time GGG hater. GGG chased Saunders for years so knock off he BS that he turned down Sanders. Saunders turned down good money offers to fight GGG time after time. You did put Ward in there and that's more BS. Ward never made him a real offer to' fight. Ward just called him out in he media when he already had a fight with Lemieux. When he was through with Lemieux Ward was fighting at 175. He didn't take fights with those four high risk low reward guys because he had a fight coming with Canelo. Why the hell does GGG have to fight all those guys????? None of them ever fought each other.Why not???? Nobody has ever fought any two of them but GGG is supposed to have fought all four of them. That is just unreasonable BS on your part, hater.

              The WBC mandated the fight and Loefller came right out and said that fight isn't happening. WTF are u talking about sending offers.

                I'd say he wanted the most **** for his buck. If he is going to accept a huge risk, why not do it against the guy who comes with the highest reward (Canelo)? Charlo brings nothing to the table, he hasn't even sniffed $2M yet. Andrade?? He finally has a title, but who cares about Andrade, he's an unknown. Saunders has his own problems to sort out and would anyone really give him credit for beating D-chenko? It didn't do shyt for Jacobs.

                Meanwhile, guys like Martinez, Cotto, and Canelo avoided GGG for as long as they could. Ward was willing to come down to 160 for Mayweather but not GGG. So why is ok for Ward to come down to 160 for the big money, but it's not ok for GGG to hold out for Canelo for the money? GGG also offered to come down to 154 for Floyd and we all know that wasn't going to happen.

                  I also doubt GGG would actually avoid any of those fights.

                  I mainly blame Loeffler, but since he's the main part of the team, I can't help but blame him, too.
                  that excuse of "I doubt these guys beat him" doesn't fly....

                  I heard that same stuff back when he was avoiding lara "omg g would murder lara"...ok..maybe...but there was a time, for awhile, that lara would have been the best name on his resume.....who you think wins and how easily doesn't mean a fight shouldn't be made when it makes sense

                      easy to look "dominant" when youre fighting guys like Curtis stevens who lost to jesse Brinkley and marcos primera....those types'

                      fact of the matter is when he stepped up he didn't look dominant

                      before ward went full 175 he fought paul smith and weighed in at 171 to keep himself between divisions in case lil g grew a pair and accepted a fight at 168....lil g ran to fight kell brook and dom wade
