Or Kell Brook

G never went after Kell though the way Canelo did with those fighters he listed. G was meant to take on Eubank with a date set in London. But then Eubank messed him around and walked away from the fight. So Eddie Hearn offered Kell the fight because he was frustrated himself due to being ducked by the top Welter's. G didn't want to lose the fight date and money and have to spend more time out of the ring looking for a replacement that would have been awful anyway because of how badly ducked he was at that point. So he took the Kell fight. Which is fair enough.

the info is out ther, canelos promoter made it public, the other side still remains quiet....

so go on and provide a valid link with info about what this offer entailed. Specifically money involved. Because Oscar was vague and never provided any dollar amount. He said lucrative but he’s said that about several other offers that turned out to be low ball offers which is why it took so long to land canelo an opponent.

The IBF leaves the #1 and #2 spot blank most of the time. So these guys don't even really earn the #1 spot.

Again a MW with 5 ko's??? Fight won't last past round 4 and he probably gets violently KO'd. He can't even keep GGG honest.

Who said anything about earning it or not? I know the IBF can have some lousy mandatories, trust me. But what i said was fact.

Why is GGG fighting these boxers?
Is it just to fulfill his contractual obligations?

5KO in 21 fights...

He has to fight this guy. It's a mandatory. So he's not to blame here.

[Robi13]

does that have anything to do with the fact that charlo was the mandatory to both at 1 time and neither wanted to fight him? Try keeping up with the topic being discussed.

No it doesn’t I never said it did. But what I said is a fact

[Robi13]

You mean DAZN went out to sign him? Yeah, G can't just walk up and demand they sign him with lots of money on the line. The same way Canelo couldn't. DAZN had to have wanted them in the first place and approached them.

G, DAZN and his management will decide his fight dates. It isn't up to him. But to think G is fighting before Canelo is due to choice and it being all about Canelo, is nothing but fantasy on your part. Projecting isn't going to make those defeats for Canelo go away. The only ones obsessed are Canelo fanatics.

Right, he followed canelo like o said and continues to do so

[Robi13]

G has Canelo x2, Jacobs, Murray, Chenko, Geale, Lemieux and Macklin. There's also a few decent wins in there too.

Canelo has Kovalev (Old, ropey, and intentionally brought back so soon after his fight in Russia to make sure he wasn't at his best, even though he was already very much past it)

Jacobs (Who he tried to weight drain like others)

Trout (Who beat no one his own weight that was fresh whether they were good or decent. A smaller past his prime Cotto is as good as it gets for him)

Canelo doesn't come close to G's accomplishments. He never will either.

Enjoy a Canelo special next time out with Smith only allowed 4 weeks (Yes, you read that right) to prepare with proper sparring and getting over to the US to acclimatise. We don't yet know if Canelo has his usual cowardly weight restriction for this fight, but it probably does. Canelo also knows that Smith wouldn't have really started with the weight making process due to Canelo leaving him in the dark on purpose to give his usual advantages he likes. And we both know how big Smith is at the weight. Canelo and team knew exactly what they were doing here. Don't even try and pretend with this clown any more. He's an embarrassment. Have some dignity and give him the old heave ho.

What I stated is a fact no dispute

GGG fighting nobodies...

....Rollins was not a mandatory and was a nobosy and fought him...typical GGG lover and Canelo hater here...
