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

Once Canelo takes back over Cinco de Mayo from Floyd (LOL, Floyd MAD about that too!!!), he'll be our generation's Oscar - fighting everybody, and will take a few L's along the way most likely, but will have so much more respect than taking the route of a Mayweather.

... I believe him when he says he wants GGG, but I don't think it's happening in 2015. Too high of a risk with too small of a reward. He will wait until GGG builds up his fan base more for a PPV event.

Yes, sure...
... Canelo won't shy away from a GRANDPA Golovkin... Canelo is waiting for a "low risk low reward" fight, right?

I believe him.

If Canelo gets past Cotto I fully expect him to fight Gennady.

it should be either that or chavez jr who is also another big blockbuster....

HBO wants GGG to be a star so they will surely push the Canelo fight.

are u kidding you really think hbo would want ggg to win over canelo? are u crazy ?

ya i never knew if it was possible with the weight but chavez canelo would probably be the biggest fight in mexican history by far and it would also be huge just in the usa alone among boxing fans

I've always thought Canelo faced Floyd too soon (Saul could have done better if he was the last fighter in Mayweather's career). However, Oscar had a plan which required Canelo to fight Floyd last year. Oscar moved him from Showtime and reached an agreement with HBO. Oscar probably knows who and when to fight in order to optimize earnings and popularity. We may not agree but boxing has become a big business and whatever they do is always to maximize profits. Money is what really commands the boxing events.

Good for you! What better way to get back 5 de mayo and sept 16 holiday wknds than with this kind of fights!!! Cotto can get it 5 de mayo than ggg would be mega huge!!! Make it happen

[Bardock]

That's the way to do it before entering the Cotto negotiations - start throwing Golovkin's name. Basically ignoring Cotto's diva attitude.

This right here.

Lol yah canelo has at least 10 years in the sport compared to ggg at 3 or 4. Maybe 5.
