Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Coach: We're Not Going To 154 For Canelo

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (33-0, 30KOs) is looking for fights with Miguel Cotto and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez - but he has not intention of meeting them at junior middleweight or a catch-weight.

Golovkin is willing to come down to 154-pounds for a dream fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. - but he holds the mandatory position under the WBC and that entitles him to get a direct shot at a Cotto-Canelo winner.

Cotto defends against Daniel Geale on June 6th. If he wins, it is expected that he will face Canelo in the fall.

Easy to say that now. Maybe not 154, but I'm sure he'll come down to 155 when the money gets shown to him.

Come on up to 160 the water is fine.

Canelo can't go to 154 for Canelo.

Canelo can't go to 154 for Canelo.

Im sure he can shed half a pound his last fight he came in at 154.5... Whats GGG SCARED OF

[theocdog]

Maybe they can meet at the middle. that would be a reasonable compromise.

Maybe they agree to 158? Seriously, Abel should think about it or GGG will never be in a big fight. They said GGG can make 154 so why not? 156 maybe?

That's right Stay at 160 and stand your ground. Canelo rehydrates over 170+ lbs he's big enough to fight at the MW Limit.

Eventually the top guys will no longer be able to run from ggg. I agree ggg shouldn't have to go down to 154 for canelo or cotto. If cotto and canelo dint want to go up to 160 they should drop to 154 where they belong
