Believe it or not,humans are the only animal that exhibit spite. Spite from an evolutionary point of view is when a animal puts themselves at a disadvantage,or hurts themselves,just to harm another animal. This serves no benefit towards humans,yet we still do it. In the case of canelo,he refuses to fight ggg a third time because he does not want to let ggg make money off of him. This is where the concept of spite comes into play.
1. He has gone against the wishes of skipper and dazn who wish to make the 3rd fight. This caused them to limit his opponent choice,and ultimately cost him a belt.
2. He is denying himself the huge payday that would come with the third fight against an older ggg.
3. Is denying the fans of a fight that many people would subscribe to dazn to see. As it stands the score is a draw,and a razor thing split decision. Rematches have happened for fights that were less close.
4. Is denying himself the chance to ko ggg and silence the naysayers. If he truly believed that he won both fights,why not run it back and end things once and for all.
Canelo has many things to gain from fighting Golovkin,but it is purely out of spite that he avoids the 3rd fight. Because of this he has made things far more complicated than they need to be,but hopefully he can put aside his spite,so that the world may see the third fight.
This right here....the 2nd ggg fight was by far the toughest of his career. Spite has nothing to do with it, that’s just an excuse put out there by fan boys. He’ll try to wait ggg out a bit longer to fight him if at all.
Yeah it's becoming increasingly obvious that he's afraid of Golovkin. He had to psych himself up to get in the ring the second time. I don't buy the 'He's a fighter so he's not scared.'
He's afraid of leaving a piece of himself on the ring that he will never get back if he fights Govkin again. Win or lose.
Canelo had to dig really really deep in 24 rounds to edge out a MD on the scorecards in Vegas. Think about that.
He doesn't want to go through that again, the 2 fights with GGG were damaging enough. He would rather fight someone else than have to give it his absolute all again to edge out a win or maybe even lose if he slips up this time.

I love Canelo as a boxer...love his style!
As a person.... as well as being spiteful, don’t forget he is a spoilt stubborn bytch.
Only wanted to fight Golovkin at 155 because he wasn’t ready for 160. Nek minute he fights Chavez Jr at 168 and wants Kovalev at 175.
"At this moment, my body isn't ready for 160 pounds. Maybe 1 or 2 more years I'll be ready for 160, I don't know“
The WBC has mandated that immediately after the fight, the winner will have 15 days to agree to face Golovkin next or they will be stripped of the title. Judging from Canelo's comments, it doesn't sound like he's too concerned about losing the middleweight title should he come out victorious.
Then he makes a big song and dance about the wbc cartel and throws their trinket in the bin. Now they treat him like a god.... the whole situation was pathetic.

DAZN screwed themselves over by telling GGG he’d get a third fight, when Canelo never agreed to anything.
yep
and offering Hypekin $100m wasn't too smart either
I don't think Canelo will ever fight G again, so DAZN will never recoup that money
punters used to say that Haymon was burning money, DAZN took it to a new level
I don't think he is not fighting GGG co keep GGG from making money because GGG has a deal for 100 million bucks for 6 fights. I think he gets that money even if Canelo doesn't fight him. I think Canelo is worried that he might lose a third fight especially if that fight happens in a neutral city rather than Vegas where Canelo gets such generous scoring.
When I first heard the ggg deal I assumed that it was much an NFL deal where it has a flashy headline number but when you go look at the actual guaranteed money it is much less. But, if there is a second thing besides how bad GBP is at their job I have learned in this entire saga it is just how extremely bad DAZN is at their job.
TLDR- DAZN is probably stupid enough to actually give ggg 100 million even if he does not fight Canelo.
Chances are those 2 fights with GGG have both shortened his career and caused brain damage that will be irreparable, and if you think I'm joking, those are very hard head shots to be taking from GGG for 24 rounds.
Golovkin isn't the only boxer in the world for Canelo to fight. Have already seen two of their fights and they were uninspiring to say the least. I had Canelo winning both fights, with the first being closer. I won't watch a 3rd fight, even for free.
I'm a Canelo fan and spite is good enough for me. Golovkin should forever move on from that fight.
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
Give the guy a break.
He's a typical poor kid who got rich and famous too fast.
No doubt he is the biggest diva in the sport.
But "exhibiting the worst characteristics...." is a bit over the top.

He's making the right decision to not fight GGG again, he just isn't good enough to beat Golovkin cleanly. Fighting Golovkin again and having another contentious decision only harms his reputation even more, the GGG saga has outed him as a steroid cheat and a guy who clearly must have the right people paid off to turn a blind eye to what is actually happening in the ring.
I think it’s hard to put yourself on Canelo’s shoes. Most of us don’t know what it’s like when so many people are making their money off your hard work in success.
GGG’s deal with DAZN only makes sense if he fights Canelo. He never agreed to fight him again and there is some bad blood between them. I think he feels he has nothing to prove to him and is done giving him career paydays off Canelo’s name.
Outside of GGG’s 12 groupies on NSB the public at large isn’t demanding that fight. The haters saying he has to beat him decisively won’t ever be convinced unless he KO’s him.
Canelo not fighting again this year hurts DAZN and their long term viability the most as investors will get antsy if their growth flatlines after giving out these big money deals to in proven draws like GGG.
Some Canelo "fans" were very excited to hear that he wouldn't be fighting anybody this Sept.
That's a strange kind of boxing fan.
Its difficult keeping a straight face trying when trying to call them boxing fans. Their simply Canelo groupies in my eyes, not true boxing fans.
lil g lives off network handouts
Curtis stevens is a c list fighter on a good night...yet hbo approved him as a headlining fight...they wouldn't have done that for anyone else
he whined when canelo fought khan and then turned around and did the same thing
the media never questions him as he plays the aw shucks foreigner
ward was right when he said if you flip flopped their careers and ward avoided golovkin the media would have killed ward...but lil g always gets a pass?
never seen a guy get so much praise for doing things so relatively unimpressive...guy is no longer the killer when he stepped up and struggled to win...meanwhile a guy like wilder is mocked constantly yet put down two top 5 hws down 5x in two fights
I wish lil g would just go away...people have the nerve to call canelo entitled...yeeesh...look at a guy who thinks fighting vanes and rolls and Curtis stevens...dom wade and kell brook means something
If he truly believed that he won both fights,why not run it back and end things once and for all.

make sure you go give this advice to Tyson fury who has put off a wilder rematch that we all wanted to see
Sounds like there is a few reasons to this.
1. And the most obvious one is that he doesnt want that hard work, he controversially scrapped by the first 2 fights when a lot of people had him losing both.
2.He has a very spiteful mentality and would shoot himself in the foot to avoid GGG earning money off of him.
Personally I still dont understand how people cant support that drugs cheat.

Maybe 24 rounds with GGG has left Canelo brain damaged. Irrational, spiteful behaviour is a symptom.
