GGG Can Have The Canelo Fight Right Now If He Just Accepts The Terms!

[icha]

my personal opinion, and I have not spoken to anyone at GBP about it yet, is that Oscar/Gomez knowing that Canelo-GGG is the biggest fight that can be made, wanted a little more time to build the fight, and a little more time to allow Canelo to better acclimate to facing bigger guys. Thats just my opinion. I do not believe GBP had any interest in doing the fight in May. If they did, and K2 refused, we would have heard about it, as GBP would have moved to have GGG stripped of the interim title.

As for getting rid of the catchweight, I hope this story is true. Getting that nonsense out of the way removes a HUGE potential issue in the coming negotiations in May. Then it will simply come down to money, and I have virtually no doubt they will be able to work that out......

now this is something i can fully respect..
still i dont think that the wbc can strip ggg for not taking the fight at 155, if anything that leads to canelo being stripped if im not mistaken...

you are absolutely correct that ggg could not be stripped for refusing a catchweight. I just think we are getting in the weeds when it comes to the May 7 date. I dont think it had anything to do with weight. From the moment canelo beat cotto industry people were saying that IF the fight was going to happen, it wouldnt happen next. So it was about GBP/Canelo pocketing some money from an interim fight, building up the ggg fight, and letting canelo acclimate. Or it could all be a big ruse and Canelo will vacate in may lol


we'll see come May I guess.......

Cinco de Mayo is the obvious selling point. Plenty of time. But that time Canelo would have ages to 160 naturally and GGG about 40 still trying to unify all the belts. Cinco de Mayo. Wait 4 it!
