Comments Thread For: Canelo: I'm Open To Fighting Golovkin After Unifying, But It Would Be At 168 Pounds

What does any of that have to do with a rematch, imposed different style, or the FACT that there’s open invitation for GGG at 168?

youre not really a boxing fan. Even if you cited fights you grew up, acknowledging what fighters did past, none of that is paralleled to one scorecard dude… how many times did LaMotta and SRR run it back? Leonard vs Duran, how many times?

Boxing is based on damage. Falling back on ONE scorecard is a copout for your love to GGG

I made statement about the first fight between Canelo and GGG and you want to change the subject!

Lol. Changing the subject? Look your post… look at the thread title…they fought twice doe. One scorecard doe. If Byrd had it a DRAW it’s still be a Draw.

Somehow his haters will try to say he's trying to cherry pick. Lol.

He is. Lil G is old and slow. Pretty much the usual punching bag opponent except that he can take a punch. You know good and dam well that's true. If you are a knowledgeable fan of the sport then can't be that ****** to think not.

Canelo moved up 2 weight classes and stopped the same Kovalev that just beat undefeated Eleider Alvarez in a rematch and STOPPED undefeated Yarde. Those were good wins for Kovalev.

Canelo fought a good fight and so did Kovalev but Sergei gassed. I had bet Kovalev UD and hedged it with Canelo TKO 9-12.

Canelo beating Kovalev was a much better fruit than Szermeta or anyone GGG has fought since Canelo 2

I’m not comparing it to anyone ggg fought, I’m comparing the Kovalev canelo fought to the Kovalev we all knew was dangerous, and it was not even close to the same guy. He was already knocked out in back to back years, was early stopped by Yarde who’s basically a novice and had to jump immediately into another training camp to fight canelo just 10 weeks later at 36 years old. On the other hand, canelo who was still in his 20s was coming off a 6 month break. Kovalev was clearly compromised and that’s the only reason canelo took the fight. His immediate dropping of the belt and statement that he’ll never go back to that weight class only proves that he saw that title as low hanging fruit.

Lmao and just yesterday people were saying "golovkin waiting for the nelo payday" where golovkin hasnt even mentioned canelo at all and thru the whole promotion canelo cant stop mentioning him and begging for the rubber match
Ticket sales are good but ppv and app buys are low. Keep begging ginger

He's not just bringing it up. The media is asking si he answers. You canelo haters just come up with any reason to hate

Well said. People always say "Canelo cherry picled Kovalev. Why didn't he face Bivol or Artur?" But the truth is, Kovalev was the much more deserving and dangerous fighter after his wins over Alvarez and Yarde. Bivol or Artur had beaten obviously no one at the time.

Why can't canelo make 160 at 30 yrs old but GGG can make it at 40?

Why can't Joshua make welterweight in his 20s but Mayweather did it in his 30s? LOL Canelo haters really look for any reason to hate.

Ggg scared to move up

But anyone from 154 to 168 can get it!!!!!!!

Golovkin is too busy fighting:

Steve Rolls
Kamil Szeremeta
Esquiva Falcao

Gave me a chuckle. I would consider myself a fan of boxing, but im a fairly new fan. Only been following the sport actively since Wilder won his world title. Before that I only watched Robert Helenius' fights (A finnish fighter, also not very known but you may know him from his KO loss to Washington and his KO win over Adam Kownacki)
But I had to legit look up this Esquiva Falcao guy, why is triple G fighting these no names? I realize one of them was the mandatory but this isn't... come on now. Fight someone proper instead of waiting for the Canelo payday

[GucciGod]

not sure i understand what you mean. this has nothing to do with canelo or ggg. take emotion out of it. this is a guy saying he doesnt want to fight a guy again, then years later saying i would fight him. now has ggg looked good or better since the second canelo fight? thats opinion but no he has not. he has looked older and worse. maybe thats just a coincidence to canelo? either way it gives the percepti9no that he's just cherry picking. maybe your filter is broken if you think different? this is why you dont delay fights

He has most certainly looked worse. His decline has been commented on a LOT in his last 3 or so fights.
