Gennady Golovkin v Ryoto Murata

[Spicoli]

So you are pushing a narrative and want people to be outraged on something you do not believe yourself Tic.

Makes perfect sense.

i didn't push the narrative. you can find examples of it in threads on this forum. i'm ENCOURAGING double standards

There, fixed that for you.
Double standards my ass. Nobody is calling out Murata for fighting an old GGG, because nobody thinks Murata is P4P #1.
Consequently Murata isn’t getting paid what Canelo is.
It’s all about levels.

was canelo considered p4p number one when he fought ggg? the point you are missing is that the narrative by some was that canelo waited for ggg to get old before fighting him

I think you’re over egging the pudding to deflect away from the real Elephant in the room. (As usual)
There wasn’t massive indignation when Canelo and GGG fought the first time, I think the majority were just glad to see the fight get made.
However , the Elephant in the room is that NOW , Canelo has no need to mention GGG and give the idea oxygen. But you already know that’s the point , don’t you?
So , generally , people didn’t mind Canelo/GGG 1
People don’t mind GGG v Murata, because it’s competitive.
People DO mind talk of Canelo/GGG 3 . Because Canelo has moved on , has more relevant challenges, and there is absolutely no need for the fight.

Just my but that's the whole good side/bad side of this deal Canelo took. He's getting full praise for Bivol at full 175. No bs no catchweight and was just bragging about putting on 20 lbs of solid muscle. Fair enough. But the trilogy has the history glamour blinding the substance of the actual match now. Golovkin just turned 40 yesterday and the mere fact he will be going up to god knows what (168? 170.1?) just speaks to time having passed for III. And team Canelo just spent months talking about cleaning out 168 of all threats and trinkets yadda yadda. When it suits I suppose. I get it..it's a money maker. But not clamoring for it at this point.
