What's the Difference Between GGG vs Wade and...

Difference is that GGG is trying to fight all other beltholders and that they are avoiding him like the plague. Wade is his mandatory, he has to fight him, otherwise the IBF could strip him off his title. Also Wade is undefeated, bigger than GGG etc. People hold GGG to such extreme standards that 99% of his possible opponents are trash and 1:100 underdogs.
Ward for example tried to fight opponents that were so bad they would get rejected by the commission while GGG keeps calling out the best fighters in his division.

And Glen Johnson is a puzzle piece on a picture that has Tito Trinidad, Antonio Tarver, Keith Holmes, Kelly Pavlik, William Joppy, Jean Pascal and Winky Wright. If Hopkins never went on to beat those fighters, he would be forgotten and not cared about.
Were you alive in 1997? Nobody gave a damn about Hopkins back then. He was seen as a fighter who emerged in a weak division after Roy Jones, Bodysnstcher McCallum, James Toney, Sumbu Kalambay, Julian Jackson and Gerald McClellan left the division. It wasn't until the late 90s/early 2000s until people started to take notice and he got bigger and better fights.
In a nutshell, GGG today is on a bigger platform and further into his career than B-Hop was in 1997.
That and the fact that no reasonable boxing fan puts Dominic Wade on the same level as Glen Johnson. That's insane.
