I've been a fan of Canelo's since he went on a run of Floyd, Trout, Lara, with guys like kirkland and angulo thrown in. I like his fighting spirit and he has a certain skill level but I guarantee you, he will not fight GGG, not at mw anyway.
Canelo knows he has a brand to protect and getting KOd inside 8 rounds won't help that.
This is why I kinda want Canelo's cherrypick to backfire
The worst thing that happened to this division was Martinez losing to Cotto
The worst thing to happen was Martinez's age and injuries which led to the Cotto fight, otherwise Martinez v GGG would have happened at some stage but after the Murray fight, Martinez realised he had very little time left and he'd take a fight with the least possible risk for the best possible reward.
If only GGG had come onto the scene 18 months earlier and Martinez had been 2 years younger. Oh man, what a fight!

If only Murray was reward with that second knockdown.
Actually never mind looking at the scorecards he would lost anyway.

They really made a mess out of MW. Cotto and Cameltoe
Sometimes a fight has to wade through the crap and put himself in position where no one can duck him any longer. It looks like that's what Golovkin has to do. Picking up the WBC belt against some crap fighter is better than not picking it up at all. Grab all those belts and anyone who wants one has to go through you.
I second this.
No one is going to say "Oh look, Canelo got stripped is the only reason GGG got the belt", they will say "Oh look, Canelo didn't want to fight GGG, who went onto become the champion at the weight.
No one ****s on Lewis for not being able to get Bowe in the ring.
It sounds like you want Canelo to win but not very confident he will. So instead. You would prefer if the fight never happens and you pretend Canelo is better by default because he beat James Kirkland.
Also if the fight does happen and Canelo wins you can say you were right all along. But if Canelo loses you can still say you were right all along.
So in other words, yes it's a contradictory.
lol exactly, i just wanted to put imdazed in his place. that guy is one of the worse posters ive seen on here.
The moment he got pressured into giving reasons as to why caneloa can win, he resorted to "well, im not saying he can win"
Honestly the best move might be force the WBC to be stripped, but then don't fight for it (or drop it) letting someone else to come up. Letting someone else build up a bit of steam before hopefully being able to take them out.

I don't even like talking about it because it is dumb, but I have long felt that Golovkin and his team have been hoodwinked and bamboozled while waiting for something good to happen for them. They have not gone out and taken things by the scruff of the neck, which allows them to easily be passed over and messed with.
Even if he grabs all the belts he ends up kind of screwed because it leaves no room for growth in the division. One will eventually be stripped away because that is how it goes but it would take a lot of work for that guy to get established as any sort of threat.
I don't have a real good solution for him though other than he just needs to do his own thing and not be dependent on Martinez, or Cotto, or Canelo giving him a shot.
Captain Obvious sort of stuff, everybody in the world knows how this is going to go down and has known how it was going to play out for years.
So the question to ask is not the obvious one, but rather what does Golovkin do because picking a belt out of a trashcan is not taking him to a higher level, even if he has to fight some schlep from the WBC middleweight rankings it really does nothing for Golovkin.

It's time for fans to put the same pressure on Alvarez to fight Golovkin that was put on Golovkin to fight Ward. More, actually. Alvarez wants to call himself the middleweight champion? Prove it.
I want to give him the benefit of the doubt because he typically has fought the fighters he should, but it's not looking good right now.
His power is average, it looks better than it is because of how he throws. Even his ko clip isn't that impressive considering how many garbage cans he's fought coming up. He hit cotto clean a million times and couldn't even stagger him and cotto is a guy who is hurt in almost every fight.
I think it's his hand speed. GingerCunt does have quick hands but now I'm thinking of the Angulo fight. He didn't really hurt him either and he is literally a walking Everlast bag.
I've been wondering this. Where is this "Canelo Power" ?
He couldn't drop or really hurt Cotto who he outweighed by like 400lbs
Where is this myth that Canelo has crazy power? Average power is more like it.

Canelo is a boiler who has made his career picking on smaller guys. His power is nothing special and his team knows that. He'd get worked bad by golovkin who would walk right through him.

sadly, they know what's waiting for them if they do move up.
Btw, I wanted to ask you, if I said "I think Canelo will win" and then I said "I'm not convinced Canelo can beat him", what do you think my stance is on the situation? And do you think I have contradicted myself.
