Canelo said that "we don't fight for belts we fight for honor" which looks like he may rather vacate the WBC MW belt instead of giving up his 155 weight.
GGG should wait until Canelo vacates or WBC strips him and then offer him a fight at 154...
As Canelo will still hold Oscar's Ring "lineal" belt, they may fight for that belt -- the same Floyd did at 147 with that strap at 154... :)
Therefore Canelo would be able to fight both for honor and for belts... :)
**** it GGG should just move on ... try and land a fight with saunders again, BJS ain't keen but probably got more balls than canelo
That's what Loeffler was quoted by The ring as saying on Wednesday. "I think the fight will definitely happen — it’s just a question of when"(...) "So we’re going to work toward that. Again, I don’t think (vacating the title) diminishes the value of the fight at all. If we can make the fight now, we’ll do it. If we can’t, then we’ll make it as soon as possible."
... "as soon as possible" means that they are moving on...
its early yet
just wait
it's late...
If in "good faith", Team Canelo should have started negotiations on November 2015... and not tell the people that Sulaiman is pressing to date... Sulaiman also had to somehow save his face as the WBC head... WTF?
Let's see what makes sense. Keep the belt and fight at the mandated wbc purse split which I think is 55-45 or drop the belt and make the fight at 70-30 and win the belt back after he whoops lil Gs azz? Hmmmm that's an easy one.
... or drop the belt and make the fight at 70-30 at 155, sometime in 2017-2018?
... fixed it for you. :)
70-30 Canelo
158
Make the fight!
Do you really think that Oscar will let Canelo to risk his career at 158 against Golovkin? They could have received an "yes" in about 5 minutes for such an offer.
Oscar doesn't let Canelo to fight GGG for the time being. Oscar didn't even let Canelo fight a legit middleweight two weeks ago.
They'll say "well, we'll fight him of course, but sometime down the line" and then wait until GGG gets involved in another big title fight and they will call him out at that moment -- like Ward did when GGG was chasing Cotto/Canelo in 2015... Then Oscar will call GGG a bluff... a.s.o. :)

I saw this coming... :)
Now it's time for team GGG to call out Canelo at 154... :)
I'd apply for a job at Golden Boy Promotions if I was you.
I'm too old for that and I don't live in the U.S.
... and this PR suggestion was for GGG, not for Oscar.
If Khan believed in his ability enough to take on Canelo then Canelo should do the same, his lack of faith is disturbing. The only difference is Canelo is pretending to be the middleweight champ without fighting any ****ing middleweights.
If Canelo would give up the belt rather than fight at 154, why would he give up the belt THEN fight at 154?
The WBC isn't stripping anyone, they're riding Canelo's jock strap as much as his one-eyed fans.
You didn't get it...

Golovkin will do no such thing. That big dicked red head mother ****er better move the **** up to 160 or hes gonna lose a lot of fans
GGG must do that -- he was ready to do it for a big money fight with Floyd...
GGG would make the same amount by fighting Canelo at 154...
Plus: GGG would shut up all his detractors. For good.
