Sorry bro, you are wrong in all aspects. You don't know if GBP had offered a 70-30 split and on the listed fighters you had 3 168 lbers. With Ward, he just wanted to call out big names just like he used Floyd's name. When it came down to reality and the fight was really going to happen he asked for a catchweight with K2 stating they are the "a" side. So for ppv money, he was willing to jump up to 168 a year or 2 ago but now he's staying at 160 and praying he gets that Canelo money. And the fighters you listed none of them are big risks. NONE exept the 168ers
..
Golovkin was Sturm's mandatory from 2010-2012 during Sturm's peak and when Golovkin himself was fairly unproven, but yeah 0 risk there.
Pirog was such a non risk that he flattened Jacobs in 5 and is the only person to date to beat him.
Saying Sergio Martinez is not a risky fight is just fucking stupid.
I think he'd eat Quillin up but when that fight was being talked about they were both undefeated champions in the division, who'd want to see that?
The N'dam fight was talked about when they were both coming up in around 2010 and it would've been a solid fight at the time.
Cotto/Canelo are/were the fucking lineal champions in the division (same as Martinez). To say that would've been a bad fight/not risky is just fucking stupid.

Before fighting on HBO, out of many bad predictions I've made I nailed that one.

That fucker was ordered to fight Golovkin on two separate occasions, each time his side didn't even turn up for the purse bid and lost whatever eliminator/mandatory position he held at the time.
I like how battle even tries to downplay all the guys that ducked him as non risks but earlier complains about not putting in the work lol. So even if Golovkin fought and beat all these guys still not good enough for battle. Maybe he should take a page out of Canelos book and fight Josito Lopez, Khan and the likes.

You're not selling me on this at all. The only ppv chances GGG had was vs Martinez,(non risk), Cotto(153 lbs), Canelo(non risk) and 168 lbers (high risks). Just that alone 1/2 the fighters are 168 lbers or smaller guys. With the smaller guys he took that step aside money and the bigger guys his demands were pretty high or GGG was just using their names. Now, with Canelo it will be a ppv fight and GBP has said it would be a 90-10 split. GGG has to do something dramatic in order to bring his value up. The only way he can do that is by saying fuck Canelo and move up in weight class, or fight Canelo at a catchweight. What is wrong with what I'm saying?
You're an idiot if you don't think Dmitry Pirog was a risk. Undefeated fighter with an unreal style of fighting (switched from Orthodox to Southpaw 50 times per round, the dude would smoothly transition between punches).
Felix Sturm at his peak when Golovkin had fought literally no one worth a damn was a risk.
Sergio Martinez before his legs got destroyed was obviously a big risk and better than anyone else at 160.
Not really sure why Golovkin being favored against guys is a bad thing, it just means he's that good. How many times has Canelo been the underdog? Floyd that's it.

That's your fault for not knowing that all PPV main events are risks, and every other fight not a PPV main event is a scrub fight.
Also another thing I learned from reading battle's great wisdom is that people should fight their mandatories except when it comes to fighters he likes AND when he wants to discredit other guys competition, i.e. GGG Vs. Wade who you know was a mandatory..

What are you trying to prove by posting this, that K2 would like to fight Canelo next? This is shocking how exactly? They had agreed to fight each other, in contract that after their fights (Wade/Khan) they would fight. The entire boxing world wants the fight to happen (besides you apparently).
K2 have said if Canelo is a no, then the top priority is Saunders who owns the last belt, Danny Jacobs who is WBA "regular champ" (although he has a fight scheduled vs TBA July 30th) after that it's anyone's guess, Lara or 168.

If this is the case, then this means Canelo's next fight might not be a ppv fight. He might fight somewhere in LA or even NY. If this fight is not a ppv then just imagine how much money he will get from Azteca, Tecate, or other countries for showing it live and free? The ratings will be high as fuck and will make a GGG fight even harder to negotiate.
Canelo is still lineal champion. Dropping his WBC belt doesn't change that fact. Plus, why the fuck wouldn't Golovkin want to fight Canelo and prove he's better then him? "Winning" a belt without fighting is lame but of course they will move on with or without Canela
