Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo-GGG Buildup Will Be Unbelievable, They Can't Stand Each Other

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Right. The only fuel would be if Canelo has real scare with Bivol and then GGG turns back the clock and looks devastating against Murat. The media may build on a situation like that but the fighters most likely wouldn’t. Too English as a second language fighters, known for their actions in the ring not out of it. If anything they’d play down any hate.
I liked the old days when on fight night there wasent six different commentators throwing their hot takes between them. We don’t need an hour of video promos recalling everything. I understand why they do it. It’s not my attention they are trying to garner.
I’m not a fan of elaborate entrances with dancers, rappers, fire and lasers. Four different songs sung. I hate it when one fighter has to stand in the ring for any prolonged period of time. Let’s just get it on.

Yeah man I was super into the the Canelo-GGG rivalry travelled over to Vegas from the UK for both fights, attended the weigh ins, watched all the build up shows, documentaries etc but at this point it’s so far past it’s sell by date.

GGG will be 40 years old by the time they get in the ring again, he hasn’t looked the force of old for years now. I think he beat Canelo twice but I give him little to no chance in this third fight. GGG was already on the slide by the time the first fight finally happened after all that “marination” BS from Oscar.

We wanted to the see the third fight in 2019. By 2022 it’s no longer an interesting matchup IMO. I’ve got Jones-Tarver 3 vibes.

Hopefully it happens. Canelo gotta get by this Japanese guy at 175

This man Canelo really waited 4 years to rematch GGG. He wanted to make sure he was nice and old. Canelo a great fighter, but the last three years he has been taking the safe path. Yall can say what yall want but if he was offered 75 million for one fight he wouldn't fight Benavidez. Now to GGG. Since 2018 he has fought nobody. He had Charlo and Andrade in his division with a title and of course he picks Murata. I love boxing but I hate this Era. GGG was so concerned about a Canelo fight, he fought nothing but after bum cause he was worried about losing.

GGG fought Bum after Bum?
GGG was worried about losing?

lol GGG has fought 2 world class opponents in his career. Kell Brook a career welterweight and canelo who started at junior middleweight. Next best opponent was dervychenko. And if u think GGG got robbed against canelo in their 1st fight then u must agree dervychenko was robbed vs GGG. He’s fought a career full of bums and his isn’t HOF worthy .

I want to see who won the negotiations...if GGG lost his next fight is DAZN still on hook to pay Canelo his money.. no matter who the replacement is. If Bivol win do GGG get a shot still... if Canelo get paid 160 million no matter who he fights he won the negotiations and DAZN is dumb... unless DAZN will makes sure they all win. WILL be hard to do that in Japan

[A.B Counterhooks]

Both canelo and GGG can lose their next fight..canelo specially fighting tough russian in bivol

[sofreshhh]

Neither guys speaks the others guy’s language so unbelievable can the build up be.

Awesome boxing experience bro! Always love hearing stories like that. My family had GGG winning the first fight also, but none of us were surprised that it was called a draw. Seen enough boxing. The maxim we like to say is “one wide, one close, and one even” as far as the judges go when we suspect a draw.
The second fight Canelo stood his ground more and improved more relatively. Based on the first fight outcome it makes sense he’d be judge the winner. Still I wouldn’t have scored it that way.
GGG blocks too many punches with his face now. Canelo has improved. I’d love to see GGG go for it and if he gets KO’d it be honourable. I don’t need to see another twelve rounds between these two.
Losing is a big deal in boxing. This isn’t the ufc. Timing of fights will always be carefully calculated by managers. They have us grass roots fans over a barrel sadly.
Props to you for travelling to a pair of huge fights. Nothing else like it.

Coincidentally they're both facing Japanese oppnentz before their trilogy fight
