Win, lose or draw at the tender age of 26 Canelo has already shared the ring with guys like Mayweather, Cotto, Mosley, Trout & Lara. You saw it last night how the kid was able to gather over 40k people at the stadium. Wheter you like it or not the kid is boxing biggest Superstar today.
There's plenty of interesting fights for him at 154 or 160. He could really well continue to make his way without GGG. Canelo/ Charlo's. Canelo/ Andrade. Canelo/ Quillin. Canelo/ Jacobs. Canelo/ Saunders. Those are all big events waiting to happen.
It's Gennady Golovkin who should prove himself and move up to 168 already. Enough of staying at 160 to feast on 154ers and 147ers.
If i was Canelo i would just outright sht on GGG. Treat him like a btch and tell him to bend over if he wants the fight.
Mayweather completely bend over for the De La Hoya fight and it paid off really well...why can't GGG do the same?
Do your thing Canelo! :boxing:
Maybe nothing to prove to GGG, but if he wants to prove to himself as the best as he says, then he should fight the guy everyone wants him to.
But why would anybody not want the fight to happen. As a boxing fan, everyone should want to these fights to happen if we watch it for entertainment. We don't gain anything from a fighter showing their muscle in the contract stage and not fighting guys because he has nothing to prove. As a fan, we gain when we get the best fights. So instead of willing one fighter to make another fighter bend over in the negotiations, i'd rather see the fighters come to a decent agreement and get it on.
It seems some fans want a moral victory in the contract negotiations than seeing an actual fight. Absolutely bizarre considering you won't earn a penny from it. If anything it's going to cost you.
Where did i say i don't want the fight to happen? of course i would to love to see them fight. It would be a huge event all over the world. It's just that i don't buy into the MEDIA BULLSHT that EVERYONELSE does. Canelo is at a position where he doesn't have to listen to any critics, let alone internet forums lol. He can do whatever the fck he wants. The media wants to make it look like Canelo is running scared of GGG. They want to make it look like as if Canelo NEEDS GGG when that isn't the case at all. I just listed several other matchups that would be great for Canelo & boxing. He doesn't need Gennady AT ALL.
How come the media is not asking for GGG to move up?...they just always on their agenda/progaganda bullsht and you guys always fall for it. It takes a real one to see right through the bullsht.
I agree with OP.
Canelo has nothing to prove.
Canelo doesn't have to have Golovkin on his resume to be great because he is already well on his way to that without that fight.
That being said, he should fight Lil g.
Here's the thing though...Lil g has more of the blame for the fight not happening IMO.
If I'd never heard Golovkin and his peeps rolling out the "anyone from 3 or 4 weight classes" I might be completely understanding of their position concerning Canelo.
If I'd never heard him say he could get down to 154 for Mayweather, I might understand him refusing to do 155 for Canelo, a guy Floyd beat easily.
If I'd never heard him try to dictate as an A-side- to Ward, who was really the A-side anyway and probably hadn't seen 164 since the amateurs- to do a catchweight, I might understand him refusing to be dictated to by an A-side who demanded a catchweight.
And then there is history. The great ones always do what they must to make the fight.
Someone already posted about Floyd. DLH went up to face BHop. Cotto went down to face Pac. Maravilla and PWill made a way twice and gave us two distinctly different fights we still talk about.
Canelo is the A-side here. Golovkin will never be that when standing next to Kid Cinnammon.
Golovkin needs to go to where the greatness is.
He needs to do whatever, wherever to fight elite guys his own size.
canelo got himself into all this, if he had fought lara for lara's wba belt he wouldn't be in this position. he would be a 154 lbs champion. but no, he had to fight him at 155 lbs (MW) because he wasn't interested in that belt. the cotto fight should've been at 154 as well. the fight wasn't gonna be bigger than it was because of the belt anyways
canelo the most protected fighter of this era. "he aint got nothing to prove, he fought floyd and lost" thats good enough already lol.
LOL
Canelo did what Hagler and Bhop never did. He beat Beefy.
Haters gon hate
Nelo said that he would fight GGG that very same night when he KO Khan n when he beat Cotto, how the hell does he not have a lot to prove lol
" a que dejarnos de mamadas" lol que wey mas culo
:lol1: :lol1: At the TENDER age... Canela fans have lost all dignity and bravado lol. Look at that vocabulary lol, their attitude changed real quick with Gennady around.
Funny... When Cotto won the MW belt he somehow had a lot to "prove" by fighting GGG. Canelo...not so much because he lost to Floyd, beat senior junior welterweights named Miguel and Shane...
Canelo fans are funny.
War Nelo doe. :fingersx:
The nickname p*ssyrican is fitting. The light heavyweight ginger is the 160 lineal champion, so your saying just because ginger is p*ssy golovkins going to get denied the chance to be lineal at the weight class he dominates?
Maybe nothing to prove to GGG, but if he wants to prove to himself as the best as he says, then he should fight the guy everyone wants him to.
But why would anybody not want the fight to happen. As a boxing fan, everyone should want to these fights to happen if we watch it for entertainment. We don't gain anything from a fighter showing their muscle in the contract stage and not fighting guys because he has nothing to prove. As a fan, we gain when we get the best fights.

Truth is GGG is the one who needs to step his game up cause his resume is below average and time is not on his side..but if Canelo fights at 160 he has to fight GGG and there is no reason he shouldnt
