A middleweight who has never actually fought at the full 160 lbs right?
If Canelo makes 154 vs Smith than it makes sense for him to take it slow.
Why dosent GGG chase him and go down? He said 154-168 no problem??????
exactly.
you want to be a PPV star, then fight on the terms offered. Don't try and call the shots when your fights are showing for free on hbo.
i never post here but i read all the comments.
2 things i have to comment on.
1. with all due respect to Smith, he may be a champ and undefeated, but he has never even fought a B level fighter before. he doesn't have anything for Canelo in this fight, it will be a boxing lesson for as long as it lasts.
2. the Canelo-GGG debate doesn't make much sense to me, especially when people say Canelo is ducking GGG. I like both fighters and rate both as A level fighters, but GGG needs this fight more than Canelo.
Canelo is already a PPV star
Canelo fought Mayweather when he was 23 years old and on Mayweather's terms. Knowing he couldnt make 152 and knowing it was too soon in his career. Why because he knew it was his chance to become a star.
Logically you cannot come into the game and call out a PPV star on your terms, and expect a PPV split.
If GGG was that desperate for the fight, he should have done what PAC eventually did to get the Mayweather fighter and accept that he was not the A team. Take whats on offer if your only motive is the fight, and take your chances to become a PPV star.
I like GGG he is a warrior and a good fighter, but he knows the only way he is gonna make serious money and become a PPV star is by beating the star.
So he needs Canelo. simple as that
as I said before if you can't understand the logic of business then I can't help you.
this isn't the streets where you fight every person that calls you out to be known as the best in town. this is prize fighting...
the offer De La Hoya publicly mentioned. and he never denied.
Yes GGG will be the undisputed MW champ, with no money.
He Waited for Ward to move to LH.
Sept 2016 nice alt
wow chuck you are a champion because your status says so.
you think you are the authority on boxing because you are an expert at typing on a forum.
shows how ignorant you are and how you hide in a world of make believe.
yo are not a champ. you are not even a contender since you are not even a fighter. please wake up.
not for a while, meaning no competition in the MW division. and now 2 divisions away from GGG.
GGG good fighter, unfortunate no names in the division at the moment.
GGG should have moved up to SM before Ward moved out.
What terms, why do you keep peddling this lie? No terms were offered
heron and you must be a champ too I assume.
you didn't know that ggg refused the fight below the 160 mw limit?
please don't call me a liar.
let's be real here.
Canelo only won the MW belt by default, because Cotto had the belt and chose to fight at 155 because he is far from being a MW himself.
Canelo is a JMW and that's where he is a PPV star.
I don't think you are ducking if you choose not to fight in a higher division
i don't think a man who turned pro at 16 and fought grown men can be called a chicken.
He has the aces and he has the cash. He can retire today.
GGG still looking for his opportunity at 34, in a MW division without Ward counts for nothing.
