Comments Thread For: De La Hoya on Why Lemieux Shocks GGG, The World

and then he'll vacate the Lineal title, or lose it to GGG by KO

I think Canelo beating GGG is an underappreciated option that could be going down in the first half of 2016. I think Canelo will be the most intelligent & measured fighter GGG will have entered the ring with & Canelo gots power & GGG is there to be hit. It'll be GGG biggest challenge by far if it goes down (assuming both win their next fight, which I think happens & if it does I think they will fight in 2016).

I'm favoring GGG over Canelo myself, but outside of Ward I think Canelo has the best chance of taking GGG's 0.

Canelo/GGG sparred, word is GGG lit him up

Hes been fighting at 155. Its a ****ing pound. He will make it.

1 more pound, added to the 20 he already takes off. It's getting harder, which is why he gasses out.

By the way, He'll be the 160 champ. He vacates that, fine.

But he won't flourish at 154 for much longer. He already gases out because taking 20 pounds off and putting it on takes its toll.

Suppose you're right, Canelo wins and refuses to fight GGG. Canelo will get criticized as he should but where does that leave GGG in terms of credible opponents at 160lb?

Seems as though his only choice would be to move up to 168lbs for better challenges and paydays. How do you see things playing out for GGG at 160lb if Canelo ducks him?

GGG will get the vacated title, go for Lee.

Once he is unified MW champ, he'll be able to get many fighters to take a chance.

I bet Lara and Andrade move up. Eubanks may finally agree. He has Johnson.

I don't know. Canelo is decent, but he has never faced a guy his size and has the skills GGG has.

Lara ran all night.

Many people have said when GGG and Canelo sparred, GGG really schooled him.

But that's a rumor, and it's sparring.

However, I think GGG hurts Canelo early, and takes him out by ten.

I wish Oscar had said nothing. He is always on the wrong side of the table. Everyone has a chance, but something tells me DL is going to get hurt. Other than GGG running from Ward and others, I think Canelo is the next best person to test him. Canelo can really box and he has speed. He match Mayweather and the fight was closer to me than most thought.

I like Cotto. He has a lot of heart, but GGG would retire him. I wish him the best with Canelo.
