Comments Thread For: Canelo Rejects Fighting Golovkin, Unless at 155-Pounds

[bigjavi973]

Catchweights are for 2 fighters 1 weightclass apart in order to even the playing field for BOTH fighters.

Ok and yes I understand that.....

Froch 168
Chavez jr 168



Ward 164


All three are from a HIGHER weight class... but for Ward its ok for the 164 lbs catchweight?

Man ya GGGroupies (generalizing) are a bunch of fucking hypocrites just like ggg's team are full of shit.

How can ya honestly defend fighting the BIGGER Froch & Chavez Jr at 168 but Ward, who's froch's daddy, at 164 lbs?

[MDPopescu]

word.... i still say that cotto-ggg happens at 160 lbs.

... What if GGG goes down at 155 with Cotto if needed?

[bigjavi973]

I'm still at those GGGroupies that say "GGG a small mw doe"



but then go and say that floyd is ducking lil' g or that floyd don't want none of g so that's when they ignore a size difference

now watch them use lil g's height etc.... forgetting that diego corrales & ggg are the same height

[SchoolTheseCats]

... yes: anything else but fighting GGG even at 155, right?

If he decide to go against his word of only fight for belt at 160 limit then yes they will fight him at 155 other then that they have better options that will bring in more money then he will

that would be all on him..... imo if I was him I go no lower than 158 if he were to accept a catchweight

Froch at 168 - OK
Chavez Jr. at 168 - OK
Ward at 168 - NO K
Ward at 164 - OK
Canelo at 160 - OK
Cotto at 160 - OK
Cotto at 155 - NO K
Canelo at 155 - NO K

These guys make no damn sense What the hell do they want?

This shouldn't surprise anyone. I remember when Canelo said on Twitter that he didn't see any competition at MW, yet he's been fighting slightly above LMW for the past 3 fights and now he'll face Cotto @155 as well. He wants the $$$ and glory of being MW champ without actually facing the most threatening competition. Cotto is a great opportunity, but this fight wouldn't be happening over LMW if Cotto wasn't a titlist. If Canelo wins the belt, is he gonna try to drain every MW all the way down to 155? Not even Cotto did that ****.

[NEETzsche]

they will probably be able to negotiate it up to 157 lbs, which i don't think would harm golovkin too much. hell, canelo just weighed more for his 30 day weigh in than golovkin did for his; he might need an extra lb or two as wiggle room in his next fight anyway

Look. I'd like to see GGG face Ward at 168 just so there's no excuses.

At the end of the day it was all preliminary talk. The same way Floyd tried to get Canelo to face him at 147 before settling at 152. If Ward was serious he should have offered a counter offer of some sort. Instead what he said was he can sign on to fight GGG sometime next year after he takes on 3 tuneups.

Let GGG see what the outcome is after the Cotto/Canelo fight. If he fights either one then cool. After I'd like to see him face Ward at 168 so long as Ward can still make 168.

[turnedup]

Then why even let Cotto put the belts on the line in this match? Seriously...
