IBF strips Gennady Golovkin of belt for failure to fight challenger

[Alpha]

Looked like it would go this way, GGG's quest for all the belts just hit another wall.

Who does that leave to fill the title? Sergiy Derevyanchenko was the mandatory, Jacobs, Charlo and Andrade are 3, 4 and 5.

GGG is recognised as the undisputed champion and does not need the belts to show that at this stage of his career. Pick one belt and sell the rest to the highest bidder as Lennox did after he became the champion and let the youngsters fight for his scraps whilst GGG makes the biggest matches he can.

"GGG is recognised as the undisputed champion and does not need the belts to show that at this stage of his career."

no disrespect, but what a load of bollocks that is. He's fucked about for years now banging on about unifying the belts, blah blah. If he really wanted to do that , why :
a. Fight Canelo in the first place seeing as Canelo doesn't have any of the said belts?
b. Why wait for him and chase and beg for a rematch despite the fact that not only does he not have a belt, but he's fucking banned for cheating!
GGG has only had one serious challenge in recent times from a relevant MW (Jacobs) and it's debatable whether he actually won that , so no, he's not recognized as undisputed any more.

" Pick one belt and sell the rest to the highest bidder as Lennox did after he became the champion and let the youngsters fight for his scraps whilst GGG makes the biggest matches he can."

another priceless soundbite. He's not having much luck making these "Big Matches" is he?
This all serves GGG right . He's either made some stupid decisions or been badly mismanaged. either way, he's made a very good job of MINIMIZING his earning potential in the twilight of his career when he would really want to cash out.

at the risk of repeating myself, in the last 2 years, He could've beat BJS , he beat (?) Jacobs , he could've took on Charlo, maybe even gone up to SMW , and all the time his stock would be rising and he would be earning more.
This isn't just aimed at him, everywhere you look , you see guys who want to earn mega bucks and not fight the best because of the risk factor. But the big bucks only really come when you beat the best of the best. they all want a short cut unfortunately.

GGG has been avoided for many years before he became champion and he has beat every available threat put in front of him.

Stop re-writing history to make out triple G has avoided anyone.

He didn't avoid anyone he just chased the money

When no one better was available.

Who said he avoided anyone? He just backed th wrong horse. Went down the wrong route. You live and die by your decisions. And he hasn’t learnt a fucking thing. Latest is negotiations are back on as he’s prepared to take 45%. STOP FUCKING BEGGING!!!
And anyway, you haven’t explained that if he wanted to unify the belts, why was he wasting his time with Canelo? Canelo doesn’t have a belt??
