Comments Thread For: Canelo Not Impressed By Golovkin, 160 Options

[krazyn8tive]

He is going to be fighting Cotto in fairness. Not like he's cherry picking bums. It's a huge fight in it's own right and it makes sense to try and get both done.

I don't think you can criticise Alvarez for who he fights. Danny Garcia he is not.

That's a good point. If not GGG, then Cotto is fine. And vice versa. But then we get to here floydiots and everyone else blather on about GGG not fighting a legit foe again while Cotto and Canelo fight each other.

Not surprising. "Ill fight GGG if I have to", "in the future". The fight isn't happening unless GGG is literally Canelo's mandatory once that damn belated Cotto fight happens.

As easily as Golovkin has been getting hit, I have to wonder what happens when those punches aren't single pittypats, but heavy Canelo combinations. I used to favor Genady heavily in this one but I'm starting to think it's 50/50.

If Canelo vs Cotto doesn't get made Canelo should fight Andy Lee in the fall

Canelo isn't a big puncher though. He's more of a speed/flashy puncher rather than heavy handed.

You're an idiot. What in Canelo's career makes you think he'd duck GGG? And if Cotto/Canelo is to happen late this yeah how is Canelo hoping in six months GGG ages?

It would be great if he fights GGG in 6 months.

Doubt it will happen. I hope I am proven wrong.

Many get really ****** when it comes to this.

Canelo has a stellar resume. He is still rebuilding his star after the Floyd loss. He is fighting at a made up 155 division that is still not quite 160. So he wants to take his time. Fine. He faced Trout and Lara when nobody wanted. He is a good guy to have.

GGG is a monster. But if Canelo is ducking him, then GGG is ducking Ward, who himself is ducking Kovalev. None are likely true. But many of you just pick favorites.

All i know is that Canelo has faced everyone we wanted so far. Cotto is the 160 lineal champ who has no need to fight GGG (and thus should drop the farce). GGG has to beg Canelo and Cotto for a fight but wouldn't have to beg anyone at 168. And Ward doesn't fight nor wants to move to 172.

Sorry, Canelo is the last guy to dump on in this.

Wrong. Ward wants tune ups.

Maybe you haven't been watching... He's not a one-punch guy because he's more measured and cautious, but he certainly is heavy handed. That's something he's KNOWN for.

He's not a one punch guy because he simply doesn't have that kind of power. There's a reason why it's taken the shot chin of Kirkland to bring out another Baldomir type highlight KO. While he can punch, he doesn't belong on any respectable list for punchers..
