Have you noticed how excuses are ''the thing'' when a guy doesn't perform well ????

It's an epidemic

Of course, but it always has been but there's credence to the claim when it's pointed out before hand, is there not?

I don't have much faith in Banks personally. At this stage and with GGG's obvious decline, the only thing that would help him is to be more defensive and try and counter punch more and I saw little to none of that in the two fights with Banks. GGG will need to try and box more if he can.

That sounds **** on to me. Less is more at this age. Even if he works on a single counter shot, like a step back hook, it would be something. I don’t see his head movement or slipping getting any better. That’s one of the hardest things in boxing. Plus u need an arsenal of counters to make the most of it. But if he just kept his hands up more maybe he wouldn’t get countered so much, which always looks dramatic when it happens. Id always love to see more jabbing to the body, like Floyd would do. Even just a single hard shot at a time can be used as defense. Force ur opponent to reset. Slow the fight down. I mean I don’t see any of this happening truthfully. Still I think just working on two punches that can be used to check the opponents offence is the best he can do.

Ggg fans trying to make looking old an illness. dude is 37-38soon. accept it cowards he is old

Im pretty sure his fans are saying he is old and he was sick.

If a product is ''damaged'' and inferior, you either accept that poor performance or postpone it and let the world know why.

Excuses are too convenient....everyone has one.

Yeah, with GGG's power and a counter punching style, it would be lights out. The issue is that I really don't think he can pull the trigger anymore. I feel really bad about saying that too but I've felt that way since the 2nd Canelo fight.

Lol Ok ....... I'm sure you would honor that same process if it weren't a fighter that you don't hate as well..........NOT!

Whatever dude. We are all aware that you are a hardcore GGG detractor for whatever reason so go speak nonsense to a sucker because that isn't me.

If a fighter, ANY FIGHTER, enters the ring with some pre existing condition, fu ck his post loss excuses.

[TRTboy]

Lol nobody wants to hear that ****! Stfu

[Curtis Harper]

When promoters charge full price for a fight with a sick guy in it, that promoter should be sued.

''We knew well in advance but thought we let EVERYONE know after the fight .''

You're lying and have been called out for it.

There's more people relying on these fights than just the fighters. It's honorable to go through a fight even not at your best. And for the record, GGG is yet to complain about being sick whatsoever.

End of our discussion.
