Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo-Golovkin Needs Time To Marinate

[nielon]

People are going to b*tch about this, but I agree with Oscar this fight needs to build. As a GGG fan, I'd rather see Canelo establish himself at MW like Tito did prior to Hopkins. Tito running through Vargas, Reid, then Joppy created momentum to the point Bernard was an underdog. If Golovkin beats Alvarez now, he won't receive alot of credit like what happened with Lemeiux.

Vargas and Reid fights were 154

Joppy was his ONLY fight at 160 before Hopkins, so he didnt really stablished himself at 160 before Bhop

Add to the equation that Trinidad - Hopkins was postponed by 3 weeks after 09/11 terrorrist attack (Bhop went back to train in Philly, while Tito remained in NY helping, and trying to keep his peak condition on a threadmill) That affected his performance, hence the results. The fight would have been different without none of this factors.

.... Canelo has been fight at Middleweight for some years now (155 pounds) he is an pretty much an stablished MW already.... hehehe

Triple G vs. Chavez Jr. Is more likely than Canela or Toto..

Time to move up after Big G KOs Andy Lee..

[icha]

What's that the 155 undisputed championship of the world .....GTFOH you buffoon....if he beats cotto he will be without a title .....and sooner or later he will have to go above 155 and then go 156 lol...as for the ass whipping put ur money where your mouth is...middlweight title on the line 154 - 160 what ya say punk you braver than your ginger boy ?

you dont get it, canelo is not after that title, and when he moves up to 160 he will fight GGG with or without the title, and if it happens on a year or two it will only benefit canelo who is only getting stronger and more experienced, it will be wiser from their side to make it later...
if GGG wants it now he will have to call canelo at whatever weight canelo fights... before the kirkland fight canelo said the plan was to get a title fight at 154 in the near future, so if that happens 155 will be out of the question for GGG, he will have to make 154 for that fight...
and ill be honest if the fights happens tomorrow at 160 i will give GGG the edge, if it happens at 155 or 154 edge for canelo IMO, and if it happens late 2016 or early 2017 at 160 it will be a close fight...

Canelo can marinate all he wants, he has to vacate the title if he's not willing to fight Golovkin.

The tittle doesnt mean **** to either Canelo or Cotto....Vacating or getting stripped is irrelevant to them and makes GGG no better.... #fact

[MisanthropicNY]

It's obvious that neither Alvarez nor Cotto has the stomach to face GGG. Golovkin may as well focus on cleaning out the best middleweights who will face him. Heiland would be a good keep busy fight while waiting on the Lee-Saunders winner. If Lee wins, I think he is man enough to face GGG. Quillin is another coward who will duck him, so is Jacobs.

Interesting you say Jacobs and Quillin will duck.they've been ducking. The White boy Lee beat Quillin and got robbed and has the heart to fight anyone. Fan boys glorify cowards and duckers too much.. fk Quillin and Jacobs, I'm not supporting that garbage spar session.

Delahoya is gonna turn the potential Canelo/Golovkin finght into the never was Gamboa/Lopez fight.

This is why so many of us suggest GGG should move up.

Makes them look like cowards to everyone other than fan boys..

Other than Ward and he's at 175 now, there are no fights at 168 numbnuts, Name the fight at168 for Triple G...go...

[Bardock]

People are talking as if canelo beat cotto already

[Raonic]

As long as you vacate the title if you win, then do whatever you want.
