Comments Thread For: Canelo's Trainer To Golovkin: Come To 155, We'll Fight!

[BucaRican]

This fight does not happen until September of next year. Canelo will fight in May at around 157. Maybe a rematch with Cotto, or someone with a name such as Peter Quillin or Jacobs winner. The most money is against Cotto. I don't think Cotto takes the fight but it makes the most financial sense for both camps.

GGG gets his shot just not when he wants or how he wants. GGG problem is he is not willing to budge or take any risk by moving up or down.

If GGG was a belt holder and lineal champion at 168, and he told his mandatory challenger to "come and fight me at 161" then you would have a point.

Fucking dumbass.

you are expecting these idiots to understand anything? lol

All you need to know is the whiter guy is always wrong. Facts, context, details, none of that matters. The lightest guy is always in the wrong.

That should help you understand debating here at NSB.......

No I CLEARLY compared it to PePE Lemuix/GGG fight.

It was a mismatch from the start. GGG was a HUGE -2200 favorite and it was on PPV. I'll be t you anything that Bradley/Canelo would have more PPV buys than that fight did.

Actually he was -2000 to -1600, but Lemieux was a legit MW with a big punch coming off two wins over decent MW fighters in N'Dam & Rosado. And yes, the Golovkin/Lemieux ppv failed to be a success.



And yes again, Bradley/Alvarez will probably do between 300-400k buys, which way more, but then again Alvarez is now the sport's premiere attraction. This fight only hurts his image afterwards. I've already laid out how ineffective Bradley would be at 155lbs.

No, don't you get it? GGG is always in the wrong. No matter what the situation the most important thing is to determine what side of the argument GGG is on. Then once you've done that you can rest safe in the knowledge that this must be the wrong side and so can spend your time arguing against it.

Respectfully, no one is saying GGG is wrong. Most people agree that a CW for a title fight is BS.

We are just pointing out that you have Canelo, a guy who was forced down in weight when he took his big payday, who is managed by ODH, a man who made 3 ATG's concede to his wishes if they wanted the big payday. Knowing this, it's hard to think Canelo will move off 155, especially considering what GGG and his team have said.

GGG isn't wrong, he is just in the position where he is forced to make a very difficult, very unfair choice-a choice that others before him have had to make as well.

Disgusting to see you post this. GGG is faced with the same choice a number of other fighters have been faced with before him.

They dealt with the disadvantage and overcame it and were rewarded because of it. Those that chose not to fight dealt with that decision as well.

Why should GGG be treated differently then fighters before him in the same relative position?

Oh damn...155lb is the new weight class (Canelo' Class). This will be Manny's biggest legacy. This catchweight nonsense.

Is that so? Then I challenge you to point out ONE instance where a mandatory challenger was forced to accept his mandatory challenge at a weight only 1 pound over the division below the one he is fighting in?


Just ONE example.


I'll wait.......


And where exactly do you draw the line as to what the "higher draw" should be able to demand from a lesser known mandatory challenger? Should he be able to limit the number of punches the other guy throws? Should he be allowed 15 seconds instead of 10 if he's knocked down? Should the lesser known guy have to offer 3 "free shots" per round?


Nobody is saying the bigger draw shouldnt demand concessions in optional fights. But when that also extends to mandatories, then this sport has finally lost whatever shred of credibility it had left....

[turnedup]

oh now canelo the diva right he calls all the shots stop being a hypocrite you little ***** canelo talked all this **** he will fight anyone he couldn't hurt cotto and cotto got screwed on the cards if I was you don't be so sold on that performance ggg will **** up canelo its obvious he cannot hurt elite fighters he couldn't hurt Floyd he couldn't hurt cotto and sure wont hurt the bigger guy in ggg cotto called the shots because he earned it you Mexicans want this kid to be the nect big thing because he doesn't even look Mexican and looks white just like Oscar face it he is a ***** and will dodge ggg when he has no other options to make big money Floyd gone cotto going back down in weight pac retiring who else will bring in big money only ggg right now who by the wbc should automatically get the belt if canelo doesn't defend it oh wait the wbc screwed cotto to give the belt to a Mexican and will protect his ***** ass canelo only made 5 million he brings in decent money not big money cotto made close to 20mill why should ggg follow canelo demands when ggg probably making a few mill for his fights now

Don't be a hypocrite like Cotto wouldn't have been saying/trying the same thing today had he won Saturday.

Canelo is like a kid with glasses nagging a bully in front of the teacher : "c'mon, i dare you"...
