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

[The Big Dunn]

Why do you think Canelo wants it at 155 if not to drain him and get an advantage? Making 154 for Floyd is irrelevant cause Floyd is smaller and worth more money and is not for a 160 belt. Seriously, why do you he wants 155? Shouldn't he want him at his best and at the mandated weight for the division?

Chaos, again respectfully, you can't keep saying its draining him when GGG and his team said they could make the weight without issue.

Best you can argue is its a weight his team says he can make, but you would have to see if it affects him when they fight.

You can't just throw out what he and his team said about 154 relative to Floyd and act like it didn't happen.

Obviously Canelo wants 155 because he thinks it gives him an advantage, I am not saying otherwise.

Again, no disrespect, but GGG and his team all but said they would be at their best at 154 so for you to say he wouldn't be at 155 makes no sense.

I understand the point you are making, but I think instead of putting it on Canelo, you should be outing it on GGG. He said some things that may come back to haunt him at the negotiating table for the Canelo fight.

Fight at 160 or give up the belt.

HBO seems willing to do Canelo v Bradley. Think about that for a second. That is an absolute abomination given all the fighters from 154-160 Canelo could fight.

HBO is losing Manny and lost Floyd. They will NOT lose Canelo, especially after getting him back from SHowtime.

Its really just simple economics as I see it.

I would definitely buy a Canelo/Bradley fight!!! Two P4P TOP#10 fighters!!!


GGG/LEE"peeleft:

I like Canelo but this is a ***** move.
Champions at different weights might have CWs. If both are 'middleweight' then fight at middleweight.
If Canelo wants to fight at 155lbs he should do so but GGG should have no obligation. The weight limits are there to equalize fights and take away advantages. Middleweight is 160lb limit.
If he still feels GGG has a huge advantage just make it a 'Ginger Mexican' fight in which the only winner can be be Geiger and Mexican.
A-side doe!
That's what mandatory positions are there for. To stop champions sitting on belts and avoiding fights.
Come on Canelo. Box in the ring, not on the scales. You can win if you sort out your stamina.

It's unfortunate that too many people in power want Alvarez/Bradley and they'll use a shot Brandon Rios as justification that it'll be an exciting fight.

He'll still remain the Caneloweight champion of the world.

Seriously though, why hasn't anyone called him out on insisting on 155? It's not just a CW. It's Canelo literally saying "I want to always have an advantage". He'll either fight guys his size who are drained or fight guys who are smaller than him.

And 164 is??? Ward is asking.

[Cinci Champ]

honestly i dont care what the ggg fans say. canelo has every right to ask for a catch weight the same way ggg did for ward. canelo did it for mayweather i mean it is what it is. ggg can finally put his money where his mouth is and agree to 155 or he can say no get the title and still have no big wins. the balls in ggg corner hes not the one calling the shots against canelo. I mean i can see why ggg fans would get upset but the reality is canelo didnt even want to fight for the belt he will let it go and if ggg only cares about the belt hell get it but if he wants to fight canelo 155 it is.

Why wouldn't it be?

You're not very bright, are you. Coming down for Floyd doesn't mean he won't be drained, but he has to make an exception cause that's Floyd's weight class and it's a once in a lifetime payday. Canelo's weight class is 160, so there's no excuse for 155.

Chavez Jr. practically MURDERED Andy Lee and GGG fans are hyping Lee up to be some GREAT boxer.
