Thats the thing I don't think he got jobbed & my scorecard has GGG up 1-0-1 vs Canelo (6-6 in 2017 & 7-5 in 2018). Those fights were both close as f#ck & it didn't go GGG's way. I personally believe both of those fights coulda went any way (Canelo's way, GGG's way or both draws) & it been within the margin of error with the scoring.
I get people being cynical about both decisions going more Canelo's way to how most scored it, but that doesn't change the fact both fights were close enough to have been able to go any direction.
And GGG being in the losing the coin flip position equals him having less ability to decide factors to make the fight with things like location.
Hell man if I'm Canelo I'm saying I'll 100% fight GGG....in Vegas, but I'll never fight him outside of Vegas just to get in GGG's head more & to let him know who's running sh^t. Most fans are gonna think what they think about Canelo or GGG either way & will circle there logic around those original stances they have for either guy so nothing or at best little is changing.
2nd fight yes. i had golovkin winning but could see 7-5 canelo, a draw would of been fair as well. but the first fight close? not at all. it was clear as day golovkin won the fight.
A boxingscene article early on.

To me it sounds like Canelo tried to make the fight, but didn't wanna fight GGG outside of Vegas. GGG doesn't wanna fight in Vegas. Hence no agreement cuz neither side will bend. At that point DAZN give Canelo a acceptable opponent list with two names, but it was really a one name list cuz the other situation was already at a stalemate.
I suspect May will be a stalemate again if Canelo wants the fight in Vegas & isn't already making plans to fight elsewhere.
Again thats assuming this is a legit story which you neve can 100% know since its all rumors at this level for us with behind the scenes sh^t.
Didnt see that, seems fair enough, dude has been jobbed badly once, and arguiably twice in vegas so im not sure you can blame the dude.
Lol.
GGG cheerleaders at an uproar that their he-man didn’t get his Canelo money! Gay accountants are a serious threat 2 da game mayne!GGG has a contract for 6 fights at about 16 million a fight for a total of 100 million. He gets the exact same money for fighting anybody else as he does for fighting Canelo. Canelo is not costing GGG any money by not fighting him and as a DAZN expert you know this mayne. Canelo and some of his fans don't want the third fight with GGG because they think he might lose. GGG and his fans do want a third fight with Canelo in a neutral city because they think GGG will win it. All the stuff about GGG getting a belt to earn the fight is BS. Canelo would not fight GGG even if he had defeated Andrade. Canelo is not trying to unify 160 like he said he wanted to do. He lied and doesn't give a damn about unifying 160. Canelo is not fighting Andrade like he told GGG to do. He is not fighting at all and giving up his IBF middleweight title instead. Kovalev may be old and well past prime but I still think he will beat Canelo even in Vegas.
You cant be 24 rounds deep and duck someone. No where is it written that Canelo is obligated to fight GGG every calendar year. GGG has outlived his usefulness to Canelo and more fans would like to see Canelo fight a guy like Andrade for example than another GGG fight. Its just business GGG is still incredibly dangerous and takes tread off a boxers tires that in combination with Canelo frankly wanting to move on is why GGG will never get another Canelo fight. Need to see Canelo and GGG fight YouTube it.
If the stories behind the scenes are true it sounds like the fight not happening is more on GGG than Canelo. But thats assuming the GGG didn't want the fight in Vegas stuff is true. GGG is in a beggars can't be choosers situation cuz he's 0-1-1 vs Canelo officially even if many fans have GGG up 2-0 vs Canelo. GGG feeling too entitled with that bs to push it so hard.
But apparently DAZN is supporting that by putting GGG on the shortlist with a mfer with a mando up next as Canelo's only options.
Neither mferr is scared of the other. I think both got emotions about the other guy is main thing stopping the fight.
eh?
Canelo turned down the golovkin fight. where exactly are you getting that from?
This is why boxing is dying and networks are pulling it. Im sick of all the BS. Champs need to fight the best. That includes EVERYONE. Im not picking on anyone.
That fake ginger Mexican is straight ducking his daddy triple g.
No duck!
Alvarez is making a shrewd business move by trying to bankrupt the people who pay him.
Canelo is showing he's a better fighter than GGG by not fighting him.
The redhead is taking a few months off from VADA to bulk up and challenge Ruiz, VIVA MEXICO!
