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

[IMDAZED]

Did you see the comment I replied to??

btw I was trying to tell whats right and wrong, not predicting the future.

Yeah I did. And I was saying that the whole "enforcing" thing is not relevant, for lack of a better term. I understand you were dealing with right and wrong but this boxing, it's not that black and white.

But is it ok for ggg to do it?

Cuz I've only seen like 2 ggg fans call bullshiiit on the 164 lbs catchweight for ward.

Asking for a catchweight from a fighter in a higher division is ok. Turning down a catchweight is also ok.

Refusing to defend a title without a catchweight is definitely not ok.

Your boy hasn't done that to GGG. Not yet anyway!

If he beat Canelo then defended against Golovkin at 160 he would get enormous respect from the fans, even if he got KTFO in the first round.

"Enforcing" thing is relevant when there is a catchweight involved, get it through your skull. Is GGG wrong for asking full 160 for his shot at the Lineal MW Championship?

Its always black and white in boxing concerning boxers themselves, mainly because there are always two parties involved so its either one's fault or the other's. Whats the point in forums then if we are just discussing grey?

That's why they'll have to do it. Canelo and GBP I mean, not Cotto. GGG is too big to be ignored now and it'll get embarrassing fast.

Oh I'm sure they'll do it. But they will do it on their own terms. Ppl won't like it but it was clear from jump thar Golovkin is gonna get bent over in negotiationsfor this fight.

... We should understand Canelo's approach here...
... Golovkin should take that 155 catchweight, because Canelo will not be able to make 155 for that fight.

Yeah GBP paying money to GGG for a CW so Canelo can drain himself.
They'll really have Golovkin over a barrel

It was never about weight. Neither Cotto, nor Canelo can compete with GGG. And Middleweight titlist need not fight at 1lb over 160. Cotto, Canelo and Floyd should have all just kept it real. They don't wanna fight him cause none of them wanted that work, period.

GGG is not wrong, he's just not going to get it. And Canelo won't care about the belt. So you take the belt away and you have the A-side asking for a catchweight. Is he wrong? No. There's a compromise to be had in there.

Damn,canelo has been hanging out with cotto a bit to much,because it seems like he caught the diva virus. Well ggg,you're gunna get the full wbc belt,and you won't even need to swing a fist to do it.

GGG should take the fight but anything under 160 and he gets the title regardless..he still needs the name on his record and I'm sure the money will be at least double the $2 million he just made vs Lemeiux.
