Abel Sanchez says GGG can easily make 154

[jri9d0]

Sure. What happens when Golovkin says ok to 155, is Canelo going to fight him next?

I seriously doubt it. Canelo (and DLH ) will come up with a new stipulation and you'd get Bradley /Cenelo instead.

[OnePunch]

Come on man your saying that you wouldn't want to watch this fight if the wbc wasn't at stake ?

of course I'd like to see the fight, title or no title. What does that have to do with the debate at hand regarding catchweights in mandatory defenses?

[AKAcronym]

It doesn't make sense for someone to go down in weight to face a guy who just going to outweigh you fight night anyway. At least with Mayweather, he'd still weigh more than Floyd. But Canelo's most likely not going to budge, so I don't know what Golovkin should do.

doesnt matter if he can make it

doesnt matter if ggg and and golovkin both think 155 if a great weight

why are we having middleweight title fights not at middleweight

I don't think Golovkin gets all that much credit for beating Alvarez yet, the crops aren't ready to be harvest. When Nard beat Tito, Tito was riding monster momentum to the point where Hopkins was a big underdog. Pretty much the same when Hagler beat Hearns.

What comes after Golovkin beats Canelo? He won't be a instant ppv star for it. HBO needs to cut a deal that lets Golovkin fight the Quillin/Jacobs winner and even Lara & Eubank. That buys Alvarez time to develop more and give us a true super fight.

Golovkin will never be a PPV star. A fighter who becomes a PPV star must have great boxing skills, personality, a willingness to fight and the ability to beat the best fighters around. There are very few boxers who have had these combined qualities and become PPV stars.

Golovkin possesses none of these qualities. He has not fought any high quality fighters, has not demonstrated the willingness to fight any high quality fighters and does not have the personality to be a PPV star. He may appear on a few PPV shows if he is fighting an opponent who is worthy of a PPV, just like Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones, but he will always be the b-side of the PPV.

Canelo Alvarez has only appeared in two successful PPV events and he was the b-side to both of them. Alavarez does not have what it takes to become a PPV star and if Alvarez doesn't have it, Golovkin will definitely never be one.

Congratulations. I thought I had read alot of ignorant comments in the other thread, but you my friend have taken it to staggering new heights.

Well done!!

The "big deal" is that as the mandatory challenger, he doesnt have to negotiate weight.

Sure, Canelo may get out his checkbook and make GGG an offer that makes it worthwhile, but in the end, if GGG doesnt want to do 155, he doesnt have to. He can force Canelo to unbuckle the belt and hand it over

These type of rules only apply when it comes to fighters who don't make a large purse and don't pay large sanctioning fees. With a sanctioning fee of several hundred thousand dollars on the line, the WBC will tell Golovkin to do whatever the hell Alvarez wants.

Thank you for proving something that I already knew, but didn't want to say, which is that you DKSAB!. If you can prove that my comments are wrong, please provide some examples of PPV stars who don't fall in the category I mentioned.

However, If you can't provide legitimate examples, keep you emotion-laden BS to yourself!

I will check again tomorrow to see if you can provide anything other BS opinions!

And that does what for GGG?? wont make him a big star...wont get him huge paydays...wont do anything for his legacy...just another "GIMME" title...

[Real King Kong]

So there's no excuse to not fight canelo at 155. Can't wait.
