Comments Thread For: Canelo Claims He Won't Shy Away From Golovkin

[TLC8]

Canelo Beats Cotto; Can't Beat GGG But Gotta Love He'll Fight Anyone

Canelo will fight anyone. Cotto is going into hand picking mode, and fans justify by saying he's earned the right. That statement is such a crock. If you get to the point of hand picking, get out of the sport. If you can't continue to beat the best, then don't stick around to collect belts and a safe payday. Cotto can't beat Canelo. He also will never fight Gennady; he knows better. I love the fact Canelo will fight anybody. If Cotto wants to carefully pick out opponents at this point of his career, stay home then.

Canelo has earned the right to be taken at his word on this.

I agree.

And if not him, then no one worth a damn will fight Golovkin. He's really GGG's only chance at a worthwhile middleweight fight.

Canelo don't give a crap if he loses or not, he just wants to put on the best fight for the fans. Win or lose he's still going to get a million time slots on HBO like Arturo Gatti did cuz of his fan base and willingness to fight the best.

imo i think canelo does want to fight the best and test himself.
its his promoter and manager who selects the opposition and gives canelo the options of opponents. who can give the largest payday vs risk.
i would like to see ggg and canelo but at this point in time. i dont see hbo putting both fighters in the same ring. they will milk this and get more ratings if these two fighters fought seperate dates and showcase each fighter than have only one date with the fighters facing each other.if this fight happens it will be 2016 at the earliest. i hope not but only time will tell.

The Middle weight division is no doubt the glamour division. Growing up we read all about Zale and Graciano, SRR vs Lamotta, what 5 times ? and Nino Benvenuti vs Carlos Monzon , Hagler vs the world, like em or hate em and many more

and

Now we have a WBA undefeated 30 fights with 27 KO's , can't get a fight that makes him a star because ALLLLLLLLLLLL the STARS won't fight him ?

I am glad for Canelo to come out and say they will fight one day. I respect Cotto since his last two fights were from the results of getting back on track with Roach but since Cotto Won the Lineal from Martinez, then the natural RIGHT thing to do is to gather all the so called belts.

We ought to be seeing COTTO vs GGG for the lineal MiddleWeight Champeenship of da Worll!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I really want to see Cotto vs Canelo. BOTH made bad fights in the past. Both fought the wrong fights against a common opponent. Both had sick game plans against that opponent. Both had it in their hand to lose and lose they did. Cotto is resurrected , I hope Canelo is, I want to see star studded fights !

The dad burned winner needs to fight GGG in the Fall and I know GGG has to win against Rubio and possibly another fighter, but its only fair and right to elevate GGG after he KO's the winner of the Cotto Canelo fight.

GGG is on a QUEST to CONQUER the MW division. Ward can come to MW if he wants him now or he can wait until GGG is done. Now I know people will jump on that and hollar duck but we know that fight will be a super fight, its got to Brew, its not been in the brewing stage, it would be like a back yard fight, Ward is NOT has NOT BEEN PPV,,,,,,,,,HE ought to be but he is NOT, why NOT ????????????? He is STAR Studded , whupped them all, so why isn't he ? Answer his style sucks !!!!!

Sorry for digressing,,,,,,,,,Canelo needs COTTO and vice versa and then GGG needs the WINNER,,,,,,,GGG will then be a PPV star

we need the glamour fights

Canelo said a while back that he fights for legacy and the fans. He has been showing that he was telling the truth. Much respect.

Canelo don't give a crap if he loses or not, he just wants to put on the best fight for the fans. Win or lose he's still going to get a million time slots on HBO like Arturo Gatti did cuz of his fan base and willingness to fight the best.

obviously he cares, it's more his belief in himself that he'll win than anything else

[MisanthropicNY]

Not buying it... when was the last time Canelo made 154? He's still pretending he's not a MW in order to get smaller guys to move up to fight him at catch weights... Canelo = new catch weight king right after Mayweather...

[MisanthropicNY]

Canelo is hiding behind catch weight fights rather than just moving up to 160...if you're too big for 154, you're a Middleweight... where are all of the hypocrites who criticized Pacquiao...

true dat true dat, the kid wants to be great, he doesn't want to take the easy road to get there either.
