The more he avoids it the more doubts I have. I used to think like you, now I think more like Golovkin and see Charlo as a potential nightmare.
Yes, GGG owes us a rematch after Jacobs was unjustly given an L. 2 years we waited and 2 years we got no closer to it. GGG only has eyes for Canelo.
Truth is GGG is at the end of his career now and it is a couple of fights at best. I am sure he would like one more crack at Canelo, but he is only going to be closer to 40 with a style not built for an older fighter. He is no Hopkins. Best against best he is a match for Hopkins, but his style cannot last as long as Hopkins and even Hopkins took lots of rounds off against the likes of Taylor and was selective up in weight making a mistake thinking Calzaghe was too white and British. Went the distance with Kov of course which was a brave fight to take, but way over the hill and lost most of it.
The average Kazak makes a little over 5k a year(USD), pretty sure GGG’s family is eating. It seems I should put a “/s” at the end of GGG comments because they are mostly sarcastic. I don’t expect GGG to suddenly search challenges. He has 1 memorable win on his CV. If that’s enough for him it’s his career. I gave up on expecting him to make the fights I want years ago even if I still ask. Bring on whoever is just bad enough for just enough money, and bring on the arguments supporting that.
Just seriously, don’t say he will beat a guy you recognize he won’t fight. It’s insulting to the sport.
I'll say who I think beats who anytime I please. Be insulted all you want.
His family may eat, but as we saw with Stevenson, terrible sh-t can happen anytime. Why risk everything for pennies at this stage of his career. He already probably gets into the hof.
GGG would fight and beat Jermall tomorrow if it made sense financially.
They live, We sleep
Pennies? Feed his family? All hyperbole, because the truth shines bright. GGG will get into the HOF, he is a HOF fighter. My ONLY gripe with him is his absolutely trash opposition and the support of it. And outright contempt for the idea he should ever fight anyone good.
Do you want me to list all his trash “world title opponents”? It’s long. No, I think you know the names. Not from anything noteworthy they did, but because they fought the HOFer GGG. Hell you yourself just called one of GGGs former world title challengers a showcase opponent minutes ago in another thread. And truth is that guy you call a showcase opponent is better than most of GGGs title defenses.
GGG is at the point in his career he can pick opponents. If he doesn’t pick good ones he walks away a guy famous for weak opposition AND weak choices when he has choices.
How on earth could anyone say they know what GGG would do anyway? The dude changes his story constantly. Remember how for years he said he wanted to clean out 160? Remember how when he had the chance he didn’t choose that?
No, people just know what’s in his heart because they want to believe what they want to believe. And that is so clear.
