        Yeah.... cause Canelo's boss put it on the cover.
        It's ironclad.

          I take it as a sign they're serious. If they're going to duck Golovkin they're not going to make that duck as high profile as possible.

          On a side note, it's pretty damn sad that Tyson Fury just dethroned the long reigning heavyweight champ and he doesn't even get the cover of Ring magazine.

            You have to read the "fine print". It has to do with the weight. Team Canelo will try to pressure and bully GGG to 155, and make it seem Golovkin's scared unless he goes there.

            I think so too. But then it's Ring Magazine. Canelo will be a fixture unless something totally Earth-shattering happens.

              What won't they like? Everyone already knows they will fight other opponents first then make the fight. What's the issue?

                    Well I don't think GGG would ever go that far down anyway...I thought 157 would be a good compromise and GGG team shouldn't have any problem coming down if he really wants the fight.

And if that’s true, good for him. There was nothing for him to gain in the eyes of the fans if he beat a weakened and dehydrated Golovkin at 155. Now if he beats Golovkin it will be authentic and no one can question or taint the accomplishment."



                      If this is indeed true, then Canelo's next fight may well be at 160.
                      Wow. If this is true Canelo moves into my top 3 favorite fighters.

                      War Canelo!!
