Canelo easily beats both the fighters in the ring yesterday. GGG will have to really shape up to be competitive with him. Think he really struggled to make weight as well, a catch weight may suit him more with Canelo.
Haven't seen the fight yet, but read his comments after. He was saying "I need to be a little more focused" i.e. he didn't put anywhere near 100% into camp was probably not training regularly prior to camp.Has he lost his love for the game? All the politics over the years and then the 2 canelo fights must have made him feel his 37 years.
When he signed with Dazn, it wasn't just for him. It was a GGG promotional deal too where he would put fights on.
Perhaps he is done, but needs to kick off his promotional company.

Not sure how easy he is finding the promotional game, bearing in mind he recently decided to needed to sign with Hearn....Perhaps he is done, but needs to kick off his promotional company.

Dazn are under contract to put on 2 cards a year in 2020 & 2021 under GGG promotions, so a low start. But a start, as this TV deal/or undercard of a Matchroom televised event will allow him convince fighters to sign up.Edited by hyphen on Sunday 6th October 21:41

Not keeping busy, doing essential work.He sold barely any tickets for his last fight, Toprank ended up giving out loads for free. He needs to raise his profile

In other news, Usyk needs a new opponent after Spong (no, I've never heard of him either) after Eddie Hearn revealed that Spong’s VADA test came up with adverse finding.
The Heavyweight division can't seem to get out of its own way at the moment...
Is it wrong that there’s so much crap going on I’m actually finding it hilarious now. The Heavyweight division can't seem to get out of its own way at the moment...

Tyrone Spong was a kickboxer, a very good one, until he broke his leg and if you want to see something to turn your stomach you can Google that... (vs Gohkan Sakhi)The Heavyweight division can't seem to get out of its own way at the moment...
He's teak tough and really bangs, first 3 rounds would have been a riot, but I'm not surprised hes pissing fire, most of those guys would under VADA.
k but Chisora is a nightmare for him. kubrat pulev won nearly every minute of every round against chisora last year by controlling the fight behind a million jabs... if pricey brushes up on his best-of-wladimir videos he could pull this off... take the centre of the ring and just jab chisora to death... with the power he carries he could well bust him up and stop him late..the only worry is his chin and the fact that chisora himself has got a big dig on him...if pricey stay switched on and doesn't but up a load of nervous energy he could surprise a lot of people....

I'd love to see him do it, struggling to think of a more likeable heavyweight than him! He's just seems that bit more susceptible to a big shot landing than most, and with Chisora being a big hitter AND being capable of walking through a few shots to land his own I can see it being a very tough night for him. Having said that, whilst Allen isn't at the same level Price did look very good against him, he fought well behind the jab and was quick to capitalise on any openings that appeared, and of course at heavyweight especially it can only take one good punch to end the fight. I think the odds are against him but will certainly be rooting for him

Was interesting.Evander Holyfield on Joe Rogan.
Holyfield mentioned how he sparred Andy Ruiz just before he retired, and how he thought 'glad I won't have to fight him'
Makes you feel worried for AJ being outclassed again.
