    GGG was the much bigger and natural middleweight against Canelo and should have knocked him out..shame that he couldn’t achieve this.

    He now has no belts and is just begging on the sidelines for a third fight..a guy like GGG should have never been in this situation.

    GGG I highly doubt is naturally bigger. Canelo is almost for sure bigger. I can’t imagine that Canelo doesn’t walk around at a higher weight.

    There were some good points raised and overall I liked the guys style of writing, but then it went a bit weird half way through and we fell though some sort of black hole on to an alternate time line. When we came out the other end, GGG is the greatest fighter that ever lived. Strange.

    There were better fights to be made for sure, some GGG was in no way at fault, some he was. It wasn't ever as desperate as Amir Khan following Floyd/Manny around for a hundred years begging for a fight, but he did tread a lot of water for the Canelo fights when there were plenty of options out there.

    I don't buy the narrative that if he takes those other options he still gets the big paydays. He either wins those other fights, in which case he pushes the big one further away, or he trips up and the big one either disappears entirely, bullet dodged stuff, or his bargaining position takes a sizeable hit.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    This has been the case all along.

    I heard GGG has signed with DAZN, I'd expect Canelo/ GGG III to be the next fight for both.

    It’s so disappointing that there are other great MWs that could take over the weight class but these two are holding it hostage.

    The other fuckers should fight one another then and stop waiting then.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
