      The fact you’re making this thread means he doesn’t.

        Canela ducked Derevyanchenko and dropped the IBF belt, so Golovkin fought him for the vacant title, since it was vacant GGG had to make a straight defence which was about to happen sometime in February of 2020, Szeremeta was a mandatory challenger who won a final eliminator on the same card as Golovkin-Derevyanchenko

          I'm talking about the media and the MAGA boxing community. Why aren't they holding their darling to the same standards ?


          Dan Rafael sh** all over this fight too.

            It's the same reason Manny hasn't fought or defended his belt in almost 2 years and most people don't really care.

            Personally, I have a lot of respect for GGG & Manny, but they gotta either defend those belts against top competition or let them go.
            That isn't an excuse, GGG didn't step up and have tough fights until he was 35.

            Real ATG's like Floyd, Manny, etc have been fighting tough opposition since they were in there early 20's.

              GGG fought who'd fight him at 160.

              It's not his fault, Canelo, Cotto, Martinez, Jacobs, Quillin, and all the other 160 players ducked him and it took Kell Brook to step up and prove he was human before they wanted it.

              Floyd wasn't a huge puncher, he was a boxer, and spent the 2nd half of his career cherrypicking his opponents.

              Manny was lucky to have willing dance partners like Morales, Marquez, & Barrera and was lucky that Oscar cherry picked him.

              And even still, it took 6 years for him to get Floyd in the ring.

              Some guys, especially insane punchers like GGG, Deontay Wilder, Luis Ortiz, or guys who are really slick like Erislandy Lara & Demetrius Andrade will always have trouble making big fights, especially if they're foreigners.

              If GGG was American or Mexican, guys wouldn't have been able to avoid him as long as they did.
