Fans are generally harsh on fighters. What fighter has genuinely wanted to fight the best their whole career. Certainly none of the elites and the non-elites only want to so they can make as much money as possible.
If Im Thurman Im thinking if I stay undefeated and Spence or Crawford also do for another couple of years theres a chance the 3 have fights in seriously big money fights. Right now they probably only make a fraction of that.
Do I like it? No! But its the same in most business', if you have a product that you think is worth a certain amount and you are being offered a fraction for it you probably wouldnt accept the offer, even if the offer is a large amount.
Multiple people. But a simple way to find people doing similar things is to look in similar situations. In 1996(13 years earlier than 2009 mind you) Oscar fought twice, also in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2008 Yes this is not every year, a couple times in between Oscar fought more than 2 times 1997,1999 the other times less 2002, 2005, 2006, 2007. So clearly if Floyd was fighting 2 teams a year since 2009 he was following Oscars lead.
But, Floyd wasn't fighting 2 times a year since 2009. In his career he fought twice in 1996, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2013, 2014, 2015. He did it more before 2009 than after.
Or you could consider since the timeframes are similar perhaps there is a different common factor when Oscar and Floyd were fighting times a year, and there is, Too Rank. Let's look at Manny Pacquiao to consider this, twice in 1998, 2002, 2004(that 1998-2004 timeframe again hmmm) 2005, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2016. It seems like if anyone has fought 2 times a year since 2009 it would be Manny, not Floyd.
But maybe it isn't TR, maybe it is boxing at the time, let's look at Shane Mosley. Twice in 1995, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2015. Consistent 2 times a year fighter right there.
But rather than get to the truth it's probably easier to just incorrectly say Floyd fought twice a year since 2009.

I like GGG, but if somebody fucks up, you have to say it how it is. If he doesn't beg, how come he isn't fighting 4 times a year like HE Says he likes to?
He's fighting WHEN GBP and Canelo want and WHERE they want. He didn't try to arrange a fight while he was waiting for them, because they said they wouldn't like it.
He turned himself into the "B" side!

GGG could do with a rest and recuperate. Get ready for Canelo and smash him and GBP to bits.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
In May it will be 8 months since GGG last fight and he will be 36 years old.
He could have easily have had a fight between then but he's a pawn in all of this...and he's the champ in the division?!
Dumb.
He could learn a lot from mayweather.
