    My point is why is a member of the media writing articles to defend GGG? He did the same thing with Froch. Canelo is GGG's mando but Rafael isn't on Twitter arguing with Canelo about forcing a 155 CW or for saying he isn't sure if he'll fight his mando next. Why does Dan feel the need to write an article about BJS ducking GGG? IT seems like he's trying to downplay a fight between BJS & Jacobs, which is a good fight. It's weird

      He could make similar to that in � if he stays here and milk the belt. I thought K2 claimed they are offering more than that.

        First, it was from his blog, which often includes his personal opinions. Second, the topic was about the recent Jacobs-Saunders calling each other out. He stated a fact that Saunders turned down Golovkin and wanted no part in a Golovkin clash which was true. He goes on to say Jacobs vs Saunders is a good fight, but Canelo is still the lineal champ and Golovkin is the best middleweight (his opinion most wouldn't argue against).

          According to sources they did:




          It's hard to take Saunders seriously after being caught lying in the past. You have to take what he's saying with a grain of salt. What we do know, according to Saunders in his own words at the time, is that he was offered life changing money but he turned it down because of the risk involved and wanted more money than anyone would offer him, which was confirmed by both sides. All fighters have pride so he can say he wants Golovkin at some point in the future but until he acts on it it's all pretty meaningless.

            it's his personal blog, he can write whatever he wants. He is not passing his blog as BREAKING NEWs

              My point is he's going out of his way to degrade BJS for a fight that was talked about on Twitter. BJS nor Froch have an obligation to fight GGG. The only person with an obligation to fight GGG is Canelo but Rafael defends the Khan fight and never criticized Canelo for his constant insistence on 155. If you don't see his obvious bias and agenda I don't know what to tell you.

                Are you implying what, he works for K2?? He's not allowed to have opinions? Plus it's his blog, where opinion pieces are exactly what a blog is for. Of it was a main ESPN Sports piece that would be very unprofessional. I'm no fan of Fat Dan btw and I don't defend his work, I just don't see a problem in pointing out why Saunders didn't fight Golovkin and offering his opinions in a blog.

                  Saunders seems to be doing a pretty good job of doing that himself.


                  Don't think he needs much help on that front.

                    Reason #836 why Rafeal is a fat POS

                    The guy wrote a article sh.itting on a fight between the #3 & #4 in the division as a reporter on the biggest platform he should get people interested in this fight not slagging it. This is a good fight if it happen

                    Has he been critical of GG fighting Wade who is essentially a nobody, no he makes exuses

                    And as far as the 1.5 it's probably in GBP which is what BJS gets paid in, he'll probably make almost as much fighting Eubanks in a rematch. He's right it's not life changing $ for a life changing beat down especially when he has some negotiating leverage and easier options

                    If GGG team really wanted that belt so bad offer the same deal that they offered for Barkers belt,

                      His twitter picture is of him and Canelo. You really think he's an objective journalist? He's a boxing writer because in any other sport he'd be a hack. Only boxing tolerates unprofessionalism in journalism
