Comments Thread For: Atlas Applauds WBC/WBA For Rejection of Garcia-Salka

Nice attempt at changing the conversation, but you'll have to do better than that.

The person I responded to was trying to suggest that Golovkin was too big for Canelo. I pointed out that as far as weights are concerned, Canelo is just as big as Golovkin, if not bigger. I didn't write anything about Trout and Angulo. Nobody is talking about them because they're not being marketed as elite fighters. Canelo is, unjustifiably in my opinion.

As for your comment, "If it where same day weighing all fighters would be fighting in a different weight class than the one their in", it is sadly true that lots of fighters play the weight game but if you look at the sport's most accomplished, skilled and dedicated fighters (think Mayweather, Rigondeaux, Hopkins, etc.), they aren't pulling this nonsense.

Hopkins, who is fast approaching 50, weighed in two and a half pounds under the 175 pound limit in his fight against Shumenov. And when Mayweather fought Canelo, he dropped a half between weigh-in and fight night. So please don't pretend that everybody is dehydrating themselves silly to make weight.

P.S. It's "Haters gonna hate", not "Hatters gonna hate", unless you have something against people who wear hats.

Lol. Your really reaching on this one. Those 3 are the exception. But keep on hating. Like I said before spelling police. "Haters Gonna hate"

So fight goes on but no sanction fees? How is this bad for Garcia

This is the worst card and fight of the year, I've told my wife that what we do is up to her that night, any ****t movie she wants to watch, any boring night out she wants. I'll do it because i am willing to miss a night of HBO/Showtime Boxing, a very rare treat for my wife.

Still can't believe Garcia chose to fight Salka. He should be fighting Peterson or Matthysse. Seems this might be Garcia's last fight at 140 though, than will move up to 147. I'm guessing Matthysse & Peterson will move up to 147 as well within the next year or so.

They will all get punked badly @ 147 by any of the Top Fighters.

Eh oh well. Danny is still getting paid and his undefeated record will continue to ruffle a lot of feathers.

He isn't undefeated, clear loss vs herrera (can't give Danny 6 rounds, 4 at most) casuals might think he is undefeated but real Boxing fans know Garcia has one loss.
