Hay! Goldenboy put Canelo in fights like you do Garcia

They tried to get him in the ring with Williams and Kirkland obviously they arent afraid to put him in with tough guys just after the unfortunate events it threw a wrench in the plan. Man where the hell did that Sig come from

Got to protect the golden egg... Garcia is not a golden egg

Are you too stupid to realize that Khan was the draw and not Garcia?

Coming off of surgery or not, Kirkland is always credible. Williams is a tough fight for anyone, and Canelo would have seen an Ortiz who beat Berto, lost to Floyd (everyone does), and destroyed Lopez. Obviously Ortiz wasn't up to par, but that's not Goldenboy's fault. Why fight Kirkland, who was knocked out by a journeyman two fights ago and looked really bad in his last fight? Why fight Williams when he could fight one of the guys who beat Williams -- Lara or Martinez? Why fight a guy who has only two fights at 147 (Ortiz) -- one a disputed win and the other a KO loss? Why fight a guy who, two fights ago, was fighting journeymen two weight divisions below you (Lopez)? Why choose any of these guys when there are at least five credible opponents at your weight class who want the fight? The answer is simple. GBP knows that Alvarez is only a decent (not good and definitely not great) fighter who has a popular fan base. Putting him in the ring with anyone other than Lopez would risk exposing him and killing GBP annual profits report.

You're asking why a guy who can generate large amounts of money fighting soft competition is facing easier opponents than a guy who need to fight a name opponent to get network attention? I'm not saying it's ok or that I like it, but the reasons why they're doing are fairly simple. I agree. It is the take-as-few-risks-as-possible-for-the-most-money approach to boxing. It was Roy Jones philosophy throughout his career and it is also Bob Arum's approach to Pacquaio and Chavez's career and his approach to Cotto's career until Cotto fought Mosley. However, Bob refers to it as the control your fighter philosophy.

he should fight lara or vanes

I mean you look at there history, and record. You tell me why! They have Danny fighting the toughest in his division and now there talking fighters like Lucas M. Why don't they treat Canelo like this, let him fight people like Lara. Danny's got 24 fights, already fighting the best. Canelo has 40 fights against B-class fighters, and an over the hill Mosley, and now he's fighting a guy that just moved up to 146.5 to fight Ortiz. Come on Goldenboy thats not good enough! great post...green!!! :fing02:

Because of his hair, he is an automatic star in mexico, and he brings in ALOT of bread...So they let him fight bums to make easy money...none of gb's other fighters bring in the attention, and views Canelo does, but canelo is a bum...their other fighters, have SOME potential and they focus on being the best, while Canelo focuses on bringing in views, while being a mediocre fighter

Disagree....they tried to put him in with Kirkland, Williams, and Ortiz. You mean Kirkland coming off of surgery, Williams who's seen better days, and mental midget Ortiz? Those are the fighters you're talking about?

Besides I think Poppa Garcia means it when he says they're all about fighting the best.

Good Idea. However they won't do it, ginger is a protected commodity. Groomed strictly for the business of boxing, not the sport.
