yes lara avoided him, lara asked for millions for the fight when no ggg opponent was getting anywhere close to that much at the time so obviously that was never happening. he said he wanted as much as when he fought canelo, was ggg on canelo's level at that time? nope. empty rhetoric. simply calling someone out doesnt actually mean anything, in fact its often done just to boost a fighters own profile. if there is nothing behind it then it means nothing.
the "big dogs"
charlo turned down a dazn contract which probably would have gotten him the ggg fight. guess he became a businessman eh? why would you blame ggg for that? oh he could have become mandatory to canelo if he fought charlo...was he not mandatory to canelo already and he never fought him during that time so thats pointless. instead of fighting for a mandatory position he fought for a belt straight away. isnt that better? wanting fighters to do dumb things because you dont like them...also pbc isnt letting charlo go fight on dazn just like they arent letting wilder fight on dazn. they are trying to build stars on their platform. if ggg had chosen pbc then the fight probably happens but he took the better offer...hes so dumb!
yes he should have fought andrade. is andrade popular and has he fought anyone? no but its at least a better fight than some of his other fights but hes certainly not a "big dog" not the best look but definitely worthy of criticism. its not like ward ducking the #1 guy in the division in bute but andrade was a top 5 guy and ggg didnt take it. the other guys were not real possibilities given their actions, demands, network situation. it takes 2 to make a fight, not 1 guy making silly demands that he knows wont be met and then running to the press "he wont fight me!"
