    Saunders one of the last guys I like but he was right about ggg.

    Don't forget Jacobs fight was delayed and almost canceled over $500K.

    Heck Canelo 2 was almost canceled because Diva GGG wanted another 3%...
    Saunders vs GGG was a done deal going into the Jacobs fight. After the fight GGG elected to sit out and wait for the Canelo fight instead of fighting Saunders like they'd agreed to

        That's not ducking though...

        The fight was agreed upon, which suggested it would've taken place...

        Canelo just happened to pop up and he took the more lucrative fight.

        Ducking would be if Saunders consistently called him and they never even got to negotiation phase. The fact that it was all agreed upon pretty much puts water on that.

          His original plan was Jacobs, grab the WBO, then Canelo. After the Jacobs fight he scrapped plans to fight an agreed upon fight with BJS and elected to take time off & fight Canelo next. If you agree to a fight & pull out that's a duck

            I didn't know that? Makes sense then to pass on Saunders then. That's not a duck. That's smart business101

            Suks for Saunders. But he's the King of missed/cancelled fights.

              Yup. BJS posted the conversation between him & Loeffler. They had agreed to a fight.

                It has all to do with intentions. BJS was a backup plan if they didn't get Canelo. Once they realized Canelo was available, they pursued that fight.

                    anyone good until he turned 35 and knew he couldnt guarantee marketing himself as unbeaten.
                    Still had solid chin and punch though, no arguing that.

                      Canelo never gave Trout or Lara a rematch.
                      Jacobs never gave Derev a rematch.
                      Golovkin never gave Derev or Jacobs a rematch.

                      Are you/were you as vocal in each of these instances?
