Comments Thread For: Canelo Has No Intention of Avoiding Golovkin Clash

[Heavyfist]

Complete BS.

Yea, he won't duck him, if GGG is still fighting in 5 years, when he is starting to fade. Like how Chavez bravely faced a Sergio right when he started to look fragile.

Canelo is proud and arrogant, of course he is going to claim he will fight GGG. But that is nonsense. GGG would slaughter him as easily as slaughtering a chicken for dinner.

Of course he's been avoiding Triple G..he's been fighting at "155" since the Floyd-zombie-like-drainage...

Nobody calls him the "catch weight" king though... dude fought Floyd, El Perro and Lara at catch weights...

Why not just move up to Middleweight... Oh wait.. Triple G is there... (I'll be ready to fight Triple G in 2016 when I'm comfortable at Middleweight..." BS

Khan is the best money alternative for Mayweather on Cinco de Mayo.

I hope that you are right, but I also hope that Cannel's definition of fight is not what transpired in the ring against Mayweather.

This.

You have to actually try to win the fight.

Any "word" on how their sparring sessions went?

Usually somebody gets the better of the other...

Go to ring notes from Doug Fischer in there he said GGG got the slite upper hand whit Canelo holding his own and conecting his own combos. He mentions how GGG connects Canelo to the body and stung him and Canelo rather than baking out he went on trowing more combos. Of course this was done with bigger 12 ounce gloves i think.

Also you have to take in consideration Canelo was 19 or 20 back in that time

Sparing is sparing, but GGG owned Canelo and did so effortlessly. Has anybody told Canelo that boxing is, "Hit and don't be hit?" I was quickly reminded of the Black Knight fight scene from Monty Python (and Canelo is the Black Knight):
King Arthur: [after Arthur's cut off both of the Black Knight's arms] Look, you ****** bastard, you've got no arms left!
Black Knight: Yes I have.
King Arthur: Look!
Black Knight: It's just a flesh wound.

[the Black Knight continues to threaten Arthur despite getting both his arms and one of his legs cut off]
Black Knight: Right, I'll do you for that!
King Arthur: You'll what?
Black Knight: Come here!
King Arthur: What are you gonna do, bleed on me?
Black Knight: I'm invincible!
King Arthur: ...You're a loony.

King Arthur: You fight with the strength of many men, Sir Knight.
[the Black Knight doesn't respond]
King Arthur: I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
[no response]
King Arthur: I seek the bravest and the finest knights in the land who will join me in my court at Camelot.
[no response]
King Arthur: You have proved yourself worthy. Will you join me?
[no response]
King Arthur: You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy!
[attempts to get around the Black Knight]
Black Knight: None shall pass.
King Arthur: What?
Black Knight: None shall pass!
King Arthur: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir Knight. But I must cross this bridge.
Black Knight: Then you shall die.
King Arthur: I command you, as King of the Britons, to stand aside!
Black Knight: I move for no man.
King Arthur: So be it!
[they fight until Arthur cuts off Black Knight's left arm]
King Arthur: Now, stand aside, worthy adversary!
Black Knight: 'Tis but a scratch!
King Arthur: A scratch? Your arm's off!
Black Knight: No, it isn't!
King Arthur: Well, what's that then?
King Arthur: I've had worse.
King Arthur: You liar!
Black Knight: Come on, you pansy!
[they fight again. Arthur cuts off the Knight's right arm]
King Arthur: Victory is mine!
[kneels to pray]
King Arthur: We thank thee, Lord, that in thy mercy -
[cut off by the Knight kicking him]
Black Knight: Come on, then.
King Arthur: What?
Black Knight: Have at you!
King Arthur: You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine!
Black Knight: Oh, had enough, eh?
King Arthur: Look, you ****** bastard. You've got no arms left!
[King Arthur has just cut the Black Knight's last leg off]
Black Knight: All right, we'll call it a draw.
King Arthur: [Preparing to leave] Come, Patsy.
[King Arthur and Patsy ride off]
Black Knight: [calling after King Arthur] Oh, oh, I see! Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!

Look casual fan go read Ring notes from Doug Fischer Ring Magazine) he was there and in the Chavez vs Golovking. ever since he has praise Canelo for his efforts in the ring.

What does GGG sparring Chavez have anything to do with Canelo?

And to those asking about how sparring went between them, it's easy to find a round by round analysis. I would say it sounded like GGG got the better of it but by no means were either of them beating the **** out of each other. If you know how Golovkin spars, that's not his intention-he's not James Kirkland.

My mistake, mate -- I've checked on the YouTube for the Canelo-Golovkin sparring and I posted this immediately and didn't even read the vid's title... I'll delete that post.

Khan is the best money alternative for Mayweather on Cinco de Mayo.

... but not the best fighting style alternative, I guess.

If Canelo beats Cotto I believe he would fight GGG.

I don't think Roach would let Cotto fight him though.

See how easy that is folks. I like Cotto he's one of my favorites but that doesn't blind me. Even though he hasn't had a chance to defend his newly acquired hardware. I just don't believe Roach or Cotto would want that fight at this stage in his career.

I wish all the groupies on NSB could be the same. Just because you like or love a fighter doesn't mean you have to make yourself look like a blind fool on NSB.

Im a Cotto fan and I like to keep it real but in order to be fair I have to say that:

1. Openly, Roach has stated that Cotto would fight GGG. Now, he may have been blowing smoke or what not but he did say that.

2. Cotto has NOT said that he would NOT fight GGG.

The reality of things is that we will only find out a few weeks/months after the Cotto vs Canelo fight. Anything other than that, and we are just speculating and/or blowing smoke.

I got full faith Canelo will fight, and beat GGG. Mexican style.
