I swear it never fails... Going as far back to when he first won the WBC Light Middleweight championship. There was always a flavor of the month that Canelo "too much of a bitch to face."
First it was Angulo... yes believe or not new boxing fans there was a time where fans thought Canelo would never face Angulo and that Angulo would destroy him in 2 rounds. Hmm sounds familiar...
Then it was Kirkland after he destroyed Angulo in Cancun, it was the same thing. See above...
Then comes Austin Trout, I gotta give it up to the fans they got really creative with this one. That Canelo would never face him, Trout will make him look silly in the ring, Canelo should stay as far away as possible, bad style match up, etc.
Then comes Erislandy Lara... and same as above.
Here we are today with the new flavor of the month... GGG. And it's the same thing all over again.
So why after all these years are people still saying that Canelo will duck fighters?
You can't go life and death with Miura and expect to beat Uchiyama, sorry bro. If Miura/Vargas 2 happens, I wouldn't know who to pick.
I'm glad you found another boxer to be a fan of though pal, i'll watch his next fight definitely
But Uchiyama is getting old though. Bandido about to catch him on his way out :boxing:
Your boy Miura got fckng spanked by Vargas b1tch. Mexican Style. That bum killer Uchiyama is next :boxing:

Pretty sure at this point Canelo could face a loaded shotgun as his next opponent, get fatally wounded in the process, die, and still be declared the winner 119-109.
Uhhh I think you got the wrong thread buddy. But it did make me chuckle...
If that opponent is golovkin,then there's nothing after for Alvarez,because the ginger train gets brutally brought to a screeching stop.
Good for you and your precognitive abilities!
Um, I don't understand your point.
Weight classes have no minimum weight.... Canelo could ask for 105lb and itd still be in the middleweight division (as well as countless others)
So I take it you disagreed with Canelo being ranked no.1 at 154 for all the years he fought at 155, and that if he continues to fight 154lbers at 155 (middleweight, as you say), he's going to get some criticism from yourself?
Without a title on the line? Of course. With a title on the line, it has to be within the division.
Absolutely... because he was already fighting at middleweight. I think I wrote about this in another thread. But honestly who cares it's not like rankings are a legit thing, they are completely subjective.
If he has the title and makes people go up in weight class... No fucking way am I gonna support it. It would be Canelo/Josesito all over again. Which is a fight a completely shitted on.
^^^See what I mean? Thank you for proving my point. And if he does what next? On to the next flavor of the month.

He can't be seen as a great fighter until he actually beats a decent fighter who is as big as he is.

Are you gunning for another dildo to add to your trophy collection? Because I can make that dream a reality homie. You don't even have to ask. :blow:
It's Hanz "if he ain't black I'm not riding his D" Booger bro what do you expect ? Lol
I'm saying if Golovkin accepts 155, what's the problem? At the end of the day it's still the middleweight division... My problem is with people claiming that 155 isn't within the middleweight division.

Comes with the territory. Beat one on to the next.
Pretty sure at this point Canelo could face a loaded shotgun as his next opponent, get fatally wounded in the process, die, and still be declared the winner 119-109.

Well, all we're hearing from Alvarez's side is how the fight won't happen yet and if it does, it will be at 155. And Golovkin is certainly no Lara or Trout or Angulo or whoever.
I think he has enough pride that he could step up to this, though. He has been on a nonstop good run since the Trout fight, and has a history of taking the fights people want him to take.
That's the problem! He's not forcing GGG to do anything. Nothing has happened yet! If they both agree on the catch weight who the hell cares?! You're basically agreeing with me. My problem is with the people that are saying that 155 isn't within middleweight division. When it is. Besides Golovkin and K2 just said they are willing to negotiate at a lower weight.
From ESPN Deportes:
"Ahora es una pelea mandatoria, y si Canelo dice que quiere pelear en 155-156 libras, es algo que podemos negociar, pero ahora la pelea es mandatoria en 160 libras, entonces no habría razón por bajar."
"This fight is mandatory, and if Canelo wants to fight at 155-156 pounds, well that's something we can definitely negotiate, but for right now the fight is mandatory at 160, so really there's no reason to go down." - Loeffler
Yes weighing 155lbs for a MW fight is under the MW limit of 160lbs.
Canelo wants to fight at a limit of 155lbs. That is a catchweight.
That's what people see because it's what Canelo says.
The best thing he could do is when asked, just say that he will fight GGG and not say anything about the weight instead of negotiating in public.
Wants to face GGG but doesn't want to defend his MIDDLEWEIGHT title at the MIDDLEWEIGHT limit(160lbs)
Canelo will have to pay for that catchweight, if not or if K2/GGG doesn't agree to it then it's fight at the MIDDLEWEIGHT limit(160lbs) or be stripped of his MIDDLEWEIGHT(160lb LIMIT) title and duck his mandatory.
Again, if Canelo wants to weigh in at 155lbs the day before, that is under the MIDDLEWEIGHT limit(160lbs). No one is stopping him.
Golovkin will weigh in at or under the MIDDLEWEIGHT limit of 160lbs.
Canelo can't force Golovkin to a fight at 155lb limit.
He seems intent on fighting at a 155lb CATCHWEIGHT, not defending his MIDDLEWEIGHT title at the MIDDLEWEIGHT limit(160lbs)
That's the problem! He's not forcing GGG to do anything. Nothing has happened yet! If they both agree on the catch weight who the hell cares?! You're basically agreeing with me.
