Maybe the hate is because he cries about fighters ducking him, then he ducks Ward. Oh, and fought a smaller fighter after talking trash about Canelo doing so. People don't like hypocrites. Not even a little bit.
wow what a crappy ppv! feel sorry for anybody who bought that. they need to stop BSing and make this fight happen. canelo trying to say they offered GGG the fight but they turned it down LOL but this is the first we heard of it. whatever. this is starting to become mayweather-pacquiao with canelo playing floyd's role of the "A-Side". Needs to happen in 2017, I don't see this fighting getting any bigger. they are running out of people to fight.
To me, and this is just me, the best fight that can be made and would hold my interest is a fight that is already scheduled: Tyson Fury vs. Wladimir Klitschko II. This is probably the best boxing match in decades in the heavyweight division. It has the potential to be a barn burner. It's certainly more interesting that GGG vs the red head.
not his fault there isn't any notable names for him to fight. Outside of Canelo who is a big ass red headed duck there isn't anyone else for him to fight.
since his comeback, virgil hunter maintained they'll do 3 warm up fights for ward before getting in the ring with a live body... 3 warm up fights later aka 2 years later he's finally fighting in a real boxing match. also ward hasn't fought at 168 for several years. i think that's why they wanted those warm up fights, to see if he could get back down there. ward can't stop name dropping ggg because that's the only time the media gives him any attention. look at all the interviews online, it's ward dissing ggg. he can sell fights using his own name.
Here's the post fight conference. De La Hoya says that they offered GGG 8 figures to fight a month prior but he turned it down. He then says that the fight will happen in September of 2017. Max Kellerman said in the HBO broadcast that both fighters plan on fighting one more time in 2016. Canelo listed at 5'9" 165 which is super middleweight, but he just won the 154 lb belt (light middleweight) GGG listed at 5'10" 159 and is the unified middleweight champ What weight class would they fight at?
LOL well so much for the Fight of the Century. Fury already pulled out twice, no showed the press conference, got busted for coke and then quit boxing. Their first fight wasn't even competitive or compelling. Fury is a clown
