Why Do You Think Gustafsson Gets a Pass for Being so Inactive?

[Gabe]

I honestly hope this guy loses out on his title shot to Glover. Even though he beat Glover it's worrisome to see so many so called "fans" give him a pass for never fighting. He hasn't fought since May and feels that he is in a position to just sit out and wait for a title shot. Meanwhile Conor fought more recently and gets subjected to all kinds of criticism. Do people really think this guy should get the DC/Volkan winner when he just sits out for long periods of time for no reason? He should take a page out of Volkan and OSP's book and fight more often. He definitely isn't the top contender at this moment.

I could be wrong, but I thought he had surgery...

Yes and Conor suffered multiple headshots from one of the GOAT boxers. That deserves time off too.

 

[Typrune Goatley]

Got married. Got surgery. Before that he was in some wars and took a lot of damage.

He gets a pass in my book. Viking warrior. I can't wait to see him back when he is healthy and ready

 

[listrahtes]

Most of the time if a professional athlete has a long time out it is because of injuries. In a sport were you get paid by bouts nothing else makes sense if you dont have millions.

I would bet Alexander was injured.

Because he beat a roided jon jones

 

[mmaknight]

I don't think he gets a pass. At this point I would believe even he doesn't get a title shot after DC fights Volkan. And that's even if he is lobbying for a title shot, it's his job to do so.

 

[Just Creed]

Who honestly cares?

Inb4 I do for posting in the thread hurrr ....

Did he screw up a division and is he holding a title hostage? That bastard, lol.

 

[kflo]

Because he’s not the champ

One who is not known to have heavy hands at that. I say Conor vs GGG next, at least they would be closer in size.

 

[Franc Mittelo]

Right skin color, height and weight, and he can communicate in English. So, the fans find him more tolerable. Let us be honest here. LOL

 

[Gilday]

He was the first guy to give Jones a tough fight, and since everyone hates Jones, they like Gus by default.

Also to the people saying why he's not fought recently, in the last 6 years he's only fought 8 times.

 

[L.T.]

Because his heart was horribly broken after doing everything he could possibly do to win the belt, twice. Gustafsson Bless.

 

[Viking Power]

I don’t give him a pass. He should be more active and out there kicking ass and taking names if he wants that belt.

 

[mmacasualviewer]

He's probably on the run from Sweden's HR commission for breaking reverse-miscegenation laws.

 

[007]

He is hurt

 

[Megalodon]

Because the LHW division is shallow as fuck.

 

[laleggenda27]

1. Gus is holding up a division by refusing to defend a title.
2. Gus has been out because he had shoulder/collar bone surgery.
3. There are no other viable title contenders at LHW.
