Why did GGG turn down these fights?

[UNBIASED BOXING]

No. He agreed to fight BJS before the Jacobs fight & before negotiations with Canelo. After the Jacobs fight he nope'd outta the "all the belts" fight and swerved BJS

You're literally trying to imply he's ducking fighters in the OP, but then you go on and state the obvious truth: he went and fought the better fighter with a fatass payday. Yeah, "all the belts" was obviously just marketing BS, but who cares? We're boxing fans (at least, I am) and we want to see the best fights (at least, some of us do, apparently).

Imagine, calling yourself a boxing fan and critiquing a fighter for fighting the better fighter/bigger payday. Normally, fans would be excited to see the best matchups, instead of complaining about it. If he had fought Saunders instead of Canelo, you would have been bashing him for that.


This **** is just sad.

Every single fighter I named he turned down fights against. Instead he fought Vanes & Rolls. Except for BJS. He fought Canelo after swerving BJS

This is inaccurate. Not sure if you're trolling, or bored at work looking to unnerve some posters.

Saunders:

He skipped Saunders to face Canelo. The Saunders fight was discussed for June-ish, but again, why are you throwing shade at him for passing this fight to take on Canelo in September?

Vanes:

He fought Vanes as a replacement because he didn't want to take a tough fight that could risk the rematch against Canelo. Derev was a high risk-low reward type opponent for the Canelo rematch everyone wanted to see. Plus, what if he needed extended time off to recover from the fight? Canelo was definitely fighting either in September, and I'm sure team GGG didn't want to push it back another 8 months. I don't see how anyone can critique this of him, considering he was signed to face Canelo initially before Canelo failed a PED test.

Andrade:

He fought Rolls after a 9 months vacation. He's 37 years old, not some 25 year old younger guy in their prime. His last four fights were literally Jacobs, 2xCanelo, and Vanes as a tune-up. Again, not seeing how any rational "boxing fan" could critique him for taking a tune-up after an extensive vacation. I'm pretty certain you weren't bashing Canelo for facing Rocky Fielding? Sure, if he fought a Rolls after this tune-up, go ahead and bash him all you want--- but I don't see a problem if that isn't what happens next.

Jermall:

Jermall debuted in the middleweight division on June 2017. Golovkin faced Canelo in September 2017. After Canelo-GGG, it was quite obvious a rematch was going to be made right away. That rematch was clearly going to be done May 2018. That didn't happen, so it was moved to September 2018. That fight happened, and GGG took time off for vacationing/spend time with his family.


You can feel free to throw flack if he doesn't face a top 10 MW next, but it really doesn't matter since you have a personal bias against him (obviously enough).
