Comments Thread For: GGG's Coach: Canelo Has No Leg To Stand On With 155!

[about.thousands]

Well I guess that would be the first time a boxer/team has said something to get publicity

The whole 154 was for Mayweather only.

No it wasn't. It was for a "big fight". With Mayweather retired Canelo is the biggest fight out there for GGG. And GGG can make 155 easier than Canelo so I don't see why he won't make the fight. It'll be an easier fight for GGG at 155 than 160 IMO because Canelo will gas as he always does because he's killing himself to make weight.

[aboutfkntime]

Im not his nutritionist or his strength & conditioning coach, so I have no idea what he would be like at 156.

The bottom line is that he simply doesnt have to. His position as mandatory challenger grants him certain rights. If he wants to ********** himself to Canelo for the money & exposure, then thats his decision to make. If I were him, and could comfortable make the weight, I'd make a deal, because it would be in the best interests of my career.

But I dont know his psyche. Maybe for him the principle is more important than the payday. Or maybe its all just posturing until actual negotiations begin. Neither one of us know whats in his head.....

Fair call, I'm guessing as well about the weight..... I wouldn't want to see Golovkin compromised even though they did say they could make 154. I cant see Canelo giving up much weight, so I hope you're right about the posturing.

[The Big Dunn]

precisely. I think it's fair to say that the differential in popularity and numbers are wider when you compare canelo to ggg and ggg to ward

canelo has the second highest ppv numbers in the history on a single event while ggg has 97-150k

Pretty much sums it up. Perhaps moving forward, GGG and his team's arrogance will match his accomplishments.

GGG is actually the g-side in that Floyd, Manny, cotto, Canelo, Froch, Chavez Jr. are all bigger earners than he.

155 is a ridiculous catch weight. It could be 158 or something, then fine. Canelo saying 155 basically means he doesn't want to fight.

That's all we can take from that.

" ridiculous " is one hell of a strong word to use considering they said this.....

" nobody at 154-160 lasts twelve with Golovkin "

You cant have forgotten, surely ?

[xpsm24]

one question to shut down these golovkin a.ss wipers. can golovkin beat cotto/canelo at 155?? if you answer yes, then this does not need to be debated any longer. 155 will not affect him, the boy said he can even make 154 to kick floyd's a.ss ... so what in the **** is the fuss about. "they're fighting for a 160 belt it needs to be exactly at 160 or else they are cowards" LOL, hopkins-delahoya wasn't at 160, bhop made SACRIFICES, got his biggest win, biggest payday and most exposure he's ever had. golovkin wants everything to be on his terms, mr. 97K got the game all ****ed up. people call cotto a diva, golovkin is the BIGGEST diva there is.

Thats it, they should post this mans question in every Boxing site!! CAN MR.97K BEAT COTTO/CANELO AT 155?? IF YES, THAN WHY THE EFFFF HE DOESNT SHUT AND FIGHT EM THERE!!! Cause the fanboys say he can beat anyone in the whole wide world, so why doesnt he and his team shut up Take the damn fight and supposedly wup Cotto/Canelo a$$!! Maybe just maybe he cant!!

" nobody at 154-160 lasts twelve with Golovkin "

You cant have forgotten, surely ?

and Oscar said "GGG-Canelo HAS to happen"

and Ward's people said "we want to fight the best", and then get rejected from NSAC for submitting a dummy as opponent

I dont know why you get so hung up about every single word that comes out about GGG. Ward said he would be heavyweight champ by 2016, yet I dont see you in 15 threads every day about that.

Whatever your issue is with GGG, you really need to come to terms with it. Im sure BigPoppa thanks you for the traffic, but man its getting tiring. You're like a broken record...... "BUT BUT BUT BUT ABEL SAID DOE BUT BUT BUT".......

because he doesnt have to. He can if he wants to, but he does not have to.

Not everyone is a thirsty as you are.

[Ray Corso]

Canelo & Cotto are GGG biggests fights no doubt.


After they fight GGG is THEIR biggest fight! At 160 the correct limit for the Middleweight Title GGG calls the shots as it should be. Thats why its about the titles first!
The kid only needs so much money he's already earned more than he ever thought possible in his life. Working and living in the Calif. hills and having a home in Germany isn't exactly starving.
Where he trains is easily one of the best places to work at in the world today.
Abel does a great job with his fighters business wise and boxing preparedness.

Including Canelo and Cotto.

The WBC is not going to strip Canelo with potential fights on Cinco de Mayo and Mexican Independence day next year so that GGG can defend them on HBO after those horrible PPV numbers. Sorry but if GGG wants the fight he will come down to 155.
Abel learned two weekends ago how little leverage they have and what a real draw GGG is.
I think after the fight on Nov. 21 Canelo will petition the WBC to let him have a few defenses at the full middleweight limit and it will be granted and there is nothing GGG can do about it. Sucks for him but boxing is a business at the end of the day.
