But at the same time, I have to be consistent and say I don't like the idea of GGG fighting someone 2 weights below.
If the MW's haven't got the balls to step up to the plate, then now is probably the right time to consider his work done at the weight and challenge himself by moving up.
Be real..... 10 years as a professional with no key win or Marque opponent. 10 years without taking a risk beating all opponents in a weak ass division . This has you believing he has a leg to negotiate with vs. Canelo? This looks like a major cherry picking career!

Work done absolutely, time to fight top notch opponents one level up or one level down. Lara or Canelo at 155 now that you forfeited what was your only leverage point PG-GG rated champion
Ha. You ask me to be real? Do you honestly think GGG has cherry picked opponents?
You do know there is a difference between cherry picking and being avoided?
And then you say that perhaps he should go down in weight ? No doubt you would then accuse him of being a bully, he can't win with you.
And you ask me to be real?😂
I've already acknowledged that the time has come for him to move up because nobody in the division will fight him.

Agreed. Not only that... but the argument regarding "the right to negotiate with Canelo" is nothing but a B.S. excuse to justify Canelo's shameful avoiding of GGG. Bottom line... both are equally sized fighters perfectly suited to face off at 160. I'm sure GGG would accept any reasonable offer that was put on the table by Canelo's team. Unfortunately, hell will freeze over before that happens.
I agree with you but it's a business now more than ever and GGG is running a lemonade stand. Tell me why GGG will fight a welterweight but not a really skilled 154 fighter like Lara. While says everyone is ducking GGG but ggg fans. Where is there one shred of evidence ? All speculation and I still beg the question how and why GGG has managed to avoid a top notch fight for ten years with no Marque opponent.? I think catch weight is crap but for GGG to call out Canelo and then fight a welterweight at 160 is worse. It reinforces the fact he will not take risks his 10 year record of opponents is more factual than ggg , his fans and promoter saying everyone is avoiding him.
I ask that he destroy Canelos credentials by beating like opponents of Canlelo get your brain straight . Shred Canelo ability to fight at catchweight. Now fighting Brook with such a great advantage Canelo will never fight him at 160 . Simply because ggg is not man enough or popular enough to dictate the terms. GGG will now be forced to fight larger fighters for less pay. Ggg needs to realize he is not the man and needs to beat the man. (Any top notch champion). Like ggg wants to build a career on one win vs Canelo
You say "It's a business", then in the next breath you say he's not man enough to Dictate terms.
You say he shouldn't fight lighter guys like Brook (I agree), But you want him to fight Lara from the weight below. no doubt then , he would be accused of cherry picking lighter guys and Canelo's leftovers.
You say GGG needs to realize he's not the man. I think he does, when has he ever said he is "The Man"? It's haters like you that are putting that up there. GGG wants to prove he's the Man by cleaning up the division.
we all know, he's not going to get that opportunity because all the other MW's are swerving him (although you seem to even dispute this), so he might as well go up to SMW to fight Degale,Ramirez, etc.
However, don't be surprised if they dodge him as well. People think it's easy to make these fights , but it's not. look at the evidence . how many fights that the public want between the best either take years to make or don't Happen?
the Only one that gets fights made is/was Mayweather, and that's because he's the Golden goose. But even the Pac fight took forever.
