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

[Jorgod]

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.

This GGG people and himself are full of bulshi.... This are the people that want everyone to move up and down for them but they don't want to move from their weigh class. This is the people that has been challenging fighter from the lower weight classes like Floyd (who comes from 130), Cotto (comes from 140) and Cenlo. But when Max Kellerman ask about Andre Ward, they start to look confuse and said "in the future" because wants a pay check. But coming from a guy that never been in a PPV, demand an Andre Ward fight with the condition that Ward get a PPV fight, when Ward beat in line all the competition in the Super Six (Bika, Abraham, Green, Kessler, Froch) and then Dawson and Rodriguez when he was only 20 professional fights. This is the quality GGG needs to face not the bums full of crap he is been fighting like the Monroe, Rubio, Murray, Stevenson, Gale.

If he can make 154 for Floyd then he can make 154 for Canelo. It would certainly be a big money fight that would make it worth his while.

unlike floyd, canelo is a middleweight. there's no need to pull a chavez jr, they're the same size.

[Bardock]

ggg is willing to rehydrate to 154 only for mayweather. canelo is the same size as golovkin, he's a mw and the mw limit is 160 (not 155).

and at ggg ducking canelo.

I said "team" GGG as in Abel and his management.

If they're the same size then why can't they meet in the middle? They both will have no trouble cutting to the same weight and will rehydrate the same right? since they're both the same size?

[jri9d0]

Why is Canelo even at 154(5)?

Canelo is 5'9
GGG is 5'10

Canelo should move already

Precisely what I would like to know.

Canelo doesn't want to compete at the Middleweight weight limit of 160 but still contends at the middleweight starting weight of 155.

because the mw limit is 160, not 155, not 157. it's 160.

just because canelo has created his own weight division it doesn't mean golovkin (who's the same size as canelo and fights at the 160 limit) has to fight in it too.

[Szef]

also, last time i checked gennady "ggg" golovkin was a part of team ggg. when did that change?

[ShoulderRoll]

We'll fight anybody from 154 to 168....unless you're name is:

1. Andre Ward (doesn't make financial sense.)
2. Erislandy Lara (he's with Haymon, doe.)
3. Canelo Alvarez (needs to be at 160 or no dice.)

Kirkland > Monroe

Triple Duck fans need to keep in mind all he did was maul a guy with 6 KOs..how is that impressive. It was Porter-Malignaggi all over again.

If Canelo lands the same shots Willie did, Triple Duck goes down...hard.

Stop begging to fight 40 year old, brittle hands Floyd at 154.. meet Canelo at 156 and let's see what happens.

I see right through Triple Duck and his fans. Beat up tomato cans, claim you're the most feared.. nice tactic.

[Bardock]

Well if team GGG wants the fight at 160 they have to wait til at least September of next year. And that's just being real. Even Abel said he wants the fight next year in May/September.

Dude, i'm saying "team" because Abel is speaking on Gennady's behalf. What don't you get about this? He's negotiating. Talking about weights and such.
