Comments Thread For: Source: Canelo, Golovkin Clash Not in Play For May

[Fetta]

a victory lap fight for Canelo. Became the face of this sport.

I see maybe a clottey

Knew GGG would have no pull against Canelo.

GGG better get a name opponent

You sure? Didn't he win a vacant interim title the fight before Tapia then was promoted to regular champ. Tapia was his 1st "defense".

Dude, the truth must be on the side of milk cartons in your house.

you are actually correct. I forgot about the sturm thing. bottom line though is he still WON a wba title, and only got moved up because of WBA nonsense. You cant blame him for wba politcs of not enforcing mandos and elevating people to sell more belts.

Oscar is shook. Gotta milk that cash cow before he's offered up for slaughter. Smh. This is EXACTLY what is wrong with this sport.

yet both seems to go to extraordinary lengths to keep them. Go figure.......

lol, do you actually believe canelo is afraid of being stripped??
believe me, he sells the same amount of ppvs with or without the title...

Ok, you forgot. Just like you forgot your pick in the poll.

As I said, the mother-cker DID NOT win his title in the ring, he was awarded it, unlike Jacobs who won it in the ring.

It's bad enough you called me out in a post when I am not involved in your debate. At least have your facts straight FFS. Were you even watching GGG then or because he wasn't on HBO you had no idea who he was?

Son, no one is hating on GGG. I'm posting facts and that seems to piss you off because the facts show that he isn't the guy you so desperately want him to be.

it doesnt matter who made who promises. The ONLY thing that matters right now is that the WBC is telling Canelo to either fight GGG next or make a step-aside deal. Nothing else matters......

im not even debating that, read the entire post and the ones before...

I did not see the Nunez fight. I had known of GGG since the olympics, but really didnt get to see his live fights until Proska. When I was in Moscow 5 or 6 years ago Yury Federov gave me a VHS tape with 3 or 4 GGG fights from Germany, but the tape quality was somewhat poor. Even so I could still see that this kid was the real deal.

But to my overall point. GGG did win the WBA interim title. We can debate the process until the cows come home, but you are dismissing it because Sturm wouldnt fight him and the WBA gave Sturm an escape route.

I concede the point that I forgot about the Nunez fight. I thought the Tapia fight was his first WBA title fight. I dont look at boxrec every 15 seconds to back up my posts. But if you want to dismiss ggg's wba title because Sturm was still champ above him, then you must dismiss jacobs title, because ggg is champ above him.

like it or not some fighters are bigger than the titles, yes they will welcome the titles and pay the sanctioning fees just like everyone else, but they dont depend on titles... for example pac could be looking for a title in his next fight, but he seems to not care... canelo had the chance to get a title from lara but showed the wba his middle finger instead...

Canelo actually showed some integrity with that decision. He wouldnt do it because it was for a regular title and Floyd was still super champion. I agreed 100% with his decision.
