You're dumb as hell. Canelo never wanted that belt. It was mere coincidence he had it. Him and Cotto were supposed to fight long before Cotto won that belt. It was Cotto that put the canelo fight on hold because he wanted to campaign at MW.
Whether Cotto had the belt or not canelo was still scheduled to fight him. GGG was trying to use that circumstances to force canelo into a AAA fight but canelo pulled his card and reminded him he hasn't done Jack ****.
Canelo fought Cotto, Floyd, trout, and Lara, and made record paydays all before he was 25. GGG has done .........nothing. absolutely nothing, now instead of moving up to fight guys at 168 that want him, he's fighting a we, who consistently has beat no one of note....lol!!!! At least Khan has faced the best in the division.
The top middles don't want to fight GGG. And that's what canelo fans use against him.
Yeah, Khan fought the best in his division (I guess..) and got his ass kicked. Canelo did almost all the talking early on. And now it seems he's just trying to justify the BS. Thanks boxing
Well according to Khan he loves being the underdog, is "going to make history", is giong to be pound for pound #1, and shock the world, etc...etc...etc...all from this fight.
Then his trainer says that? Kinda wierd how much these guys talk and talk and talk. Thats how Khan "earned" a shot at Canelo.
Not buying. No thanks. I can wait a week.
ward is over rated but GGG is not?
We dont need to start the GGG/Ward/Canelo ducking debate......I think he was just saying that to put down Hunter m9re than anything. Ward is not overated. GGG probably is a little but Ward is at 175 now so whatever.
Khan is more over rated than all of them, including Canelo. I would like to see GGG fight Ward but him moving up made it even more unlikely, maybe in the future I hope.
Canelo v GGG needs to happen first. After all, they both are holding a belt in the same division and are both bigger draws/names than Ward IMO. Plus the fans do and should want it.
Lmfao at "paid his dues". I agree with what you said about Brook needing to fight a higher tier of opposition, but it shouldn't have been nearly as difficult to make the fight between the two. Also, Khan stopped paying any kind of dues the moment he started his crusade to fight Floyd Mayweather after that loss to Garcia seemed to shake/diminish his belief in his ability. Instead of going back to the gym, identifying and working on improving his flaws and becoming a better fighter, he employed a strategy to fight second tier fighters and look good/blow them out so as to look good enough that people would push and pressure Floyd into fighting him, but he failed. He then tried to do the same with Manny and failed. Then Saul's team saw that he didn't care WHO he fought, so long as it was against a "big name" and swooped in, orchestrating a GGG duck.
I've rambled on and I apologise for that, but the point I was trying to make was that the dues he paid in my opinion were wasted in the years he spent begging for a fight that he could use to cash out on his career and rep his hand speed built for him, which bums me out. He didn't build any skills around his hand speed to create an all round package, he just hoped fast hands would be enough for his entire career. Waste of talent in my opinion.
Very well said. His mouth and stanky leg dance made him a "name". Way to step up Canelo!!!
True but it'll definitely be more detrimental to Brook. Khan is getting paid around $8 million for the Canelo fight which still makes him one of the sports top earners.
I guess earnings can define a fighter's career from that fighter's perspective. But for the fans, a career SHOULD be defined by how that fighter fought and his best wins. But then again, boxing fans are a rare breed.
Going up 2 divisions to beat the linear champ and p4p no1 in his prime would be a pretty big acheivement.
He's basically going up 1 division and lineal champ means **** all these days. Since when did Canelo become King Kong?
but acording to some ggg fans a canelo win will elevate ggg to ATG levels...
Only to the freak GGG fans. Most ggg fans just know he's better and want to see Canelo exposed and fight someone that he's not naturally bigger than.
What do you expect from California? Full of ****.
Nobody with a North Korea flag logo should be saying a god dammed thing about ANY state over here. GTFOH troll
"My name is up in lights in Vegas" is all I had to hear. Wow. Does Khan get that his claim to fame is being put to sleep and/or the chicken dance??
He's bitter cause Floyd f#cked with him so he needed someone to take it out on. He's a turd.........
It's not cool it's deluded , a lot of people started out supporting him in what was a shock match up but Amir Khan always spoils what little sympathy and support people may have for the underdog.According to Khan it should be a surprise if Canelo turns up for the fight as according to Khan it's a virtual mismatch in his favour ....Khan is a clown and is by far the most disliked fighter in the uk......Haye is hanging not that far behind.
I've spoken with 3 fight fans from the UK. All 3 LOVED Hatton, and all 3 can't stand Khan. Their words were, "he is so annoying". He is surely annoying. His mouth and all that Mayweather stalking is what did it. His skills are decent and he looks great at times but his chin is just too weak and it's not like nobody can outbox him. He is nowhere near Mayweather skill-wise.
Who knows though, his chin may toughen up with the added weight. Cotto's chin seemed to get better when he left 140. I doubt it though, we may get his best chicken dance version May 7.
King Khan is back. After facing the P4P Kingnelo, the invaluable experience will allow Khan to dominate the WW division.
Danny gets busted up, and stopped on cuts.
"King Khan"? Lmao you have to beat somebody to be called that I think.
But I do admire him for wanting to get back in there at a weight class he belongs in. I hope Danny takes it, it will be a good fight in my opinion.
Khan talks too much and he is vastly overrated but if he can come back and get a couple quality wins, good for him. The arrogance he has inot the way he talks. If he gets a win it will be him calling out Mayweather again....
No, you failed to grasp the point entirely. He said that if Golovkin is OK fishing 2 divisions below, he should be OK looking in the other direction as well and doing the same he expected Brook to do. Actually he was more generous, recommending a catch weight to make it easier for Golovkin. He's using Golovkin's own standards to make a point.
I don't personally agree with it all but it doesn't change what he said.
I see him point also, but it's telling of how many fighters are really avoiding GGG
Broner is going to take over boxing Reality-star style, talking crazy and actin' a fool. Awesome! He will bring boxing that much closer to being the new WWE. WTF happened to this sport? The word "champion" and 'title" mean absolutely NOTHING in this sport anymore. How sad.
Kells Brooks career is a begging bowl

Khan's nose up Mayweather's a$$ was waaaaaay worse. Let's see what feather-fisted fighter Khan can comeback with this time......
Saunders can go fight Canelo and make more than what team g-string is offering :fingersx:
Yup. Canelo can take on the weakest beltholder in the division and then call himself a champion. Sounds about par for the course.....
I seriously think dude gets off on having guys bend over, professionally and in his personal life.
Lmao!
I'm a Cotto fan so I'm gonna pretend he's straight lol.
But you're right, he's a Diva. He and Mayweather are most likely the reason Canelo turned Diva as well. Those 2 probably irked the sh#t out of him.
I don't know I'm at work? Your home so why don't you ask her for me :)
Working as well buddy. Ive been watching boxing for about 20 years now. And yes, I get emotional when such a great sport is soiled by so much BS. I want to see good fights. That's all.
Yet Canelo is still outselling Golovkin. Golovkin vs Brook is not an HBO PPV but Canelo vs Smith is, so no matter how poorly Canelo vs Smith does, it will still have more HBO PPV's than Golovkin vs Brook. :)
LMAO at people who think Canelo is something special. More PPVs or not, Canelo still gets his ass kicked by GGG.
Everyone here just talks about A-side B-side, PPV numbers and resumes. NO ONE talks about the dynamics of a potential fight between them and we know EXACTLY why - because no one denies that GGG will whoop that ginger. They just trash GGG and defend Canelo ducking him. Great fans.....
How many times did Khan say something in the lines of letting the fight marinate and getting 80,000 in Wembley, but its Brook who didn't want it? Gtfoh.
I refuse to purchase the sideshow fight that these guys are putting on, but I dislike GB and Khan so much that I'm happy that one of them will take a loss.
I won't buy it either. I want to see it, but I can wait a week to see Khan do the stanky leg
Heart doe.
Wow. That is some funny *****.
Lets not forget this MFer bet large $$ in bowling, lost, then got his boys and came back to the alley with a gun, then knocked out and robbed the guy he lost the bets too. Total piece of shEEET this guy is.
That fight will establish who the new no.1 in the sport is.
Agreed. But neither will be the #1 PPV star. I'm hoping GGG will throw himself in there at 168 and possibly fight Ward. Although I think Kov and Ward are too big for GGG but waiting around for Canelo to grow a pair is doing him no good.
