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

[bigjavi973]

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?

I mean I just don't get these dudes (fanboys).....

Everytime I bring it up they use the cotto stuff as an excuse, that they are in different weight classes (like if froch & chavez jr weren't) or... well they USED to be able to use the A/B side argument thing but now Mr.150K fans can't use that

[Deevel916]

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

I think 157 is a fair meeting point.

[MDPopescu]

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

... What was to difficult here?
... once Canelo said that he will fight GGG immediately at 155, negotiations are open... Now let them sort it out... (Canelo's statement also helps Cotto, right?)...

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.

same here.... good points on the floyd stuff but remember floyd had already previously moved up a couple of weight classes (even ward has moved up one 160 & 168) while g has moved up none.

[MDPopescu]

I think 157 is a fair meeting point.

... Why don't you let Canelo take the 155 catchweight? He will never make it again (in fact we don't even know if he can make it for Cotto at this point)...

[bigjavi973]

I think 157 is a fair meeting point.

nah I say no way... The lowest I've seen for ggg was I think 156 but a few 158 and 159 here & there.

[Jedi Vader]

33 year old Little G should be frothing his trousers at the prospect of fighting Canelo at this weight. He desperately needs some sort of decent notch on that woeful resume of his.

[The Big Dunn]

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?

This and their months long crusade about who the a-side is in a GGG/Ward fight, now they are whining that Canelo, the a side if they fight, has stipulations.

There are some decent GGG fans but so many of them are ex Manny slurperstars that just jumped on his bandwagon its easy to understand why so many of them are putrid hypocrites.

[Rip Chudd]

Your logic is flawed. GGG never fought at 154lbs. He's been a career MW. Ward on the other hand has spent his entire career up until now at SMW. Ward is now fighting in the LHW division. Maybe he could still make 168 and maybe he cant. Well have to see what weight he comes in at against his next journeyman opponent.

It's not my logic man, you're the one that said it. Then when I asked about it you threw in other variables.
