top 5 middleweight doesnt mean shit nowadays.
GGG is too old to be slowly cleaning out his dead division.
Too bad he isn't from the hood....he'd be required to "challenge himself" and "take more risks"...but since he's a foreigner and so many of ya'll are thirsty for any king of a hero...he gets a pass.
You contradict yourself, my friend, or maybe I'm having difficulty following you. You state that (1) GGG should challenge himself and take more risks (2) but it's wrong to want fighters from the hood to challenge themselves and take more risks. Are you suggesting no fighter should be expected to challenge themselves and take more risks or all fighters should be expected to challenge themselves and take more risks?
There are some people on this board, @
Ron Swanson , for example, that wants GGG to move up to 168 now, and thinks there is no point to fighting the boxers at 160 because he's above their level. @
Ron Swanson - correct me if I'm wrong on describing your opinion.
@
Ron Swanson and I have respectfully disagreed in the past on this point. In my opinion, GGG only recently became more of an A-side (if he is one yet), and he should take 2013 to try to clean out the middleweight division before moving up. Frankly, if he beats Geale, and the Martinez/Cotto winner ducks him, there's no one really left at 160 to fight. So, he should move up (unless a top junior middleweight moves up) if he is trying to improve his legacy.
By the way, please leave me out of the foreigner versus American debate.
