Comments Thread For: Merchant Sees Canelo-Golovkin in 2017, Needs Time To Cook

[BoxingIsGreat]

That's what I thought all along, May or September 2017.

It does not need "time to cook." That's the worst excuse for it not to happen now.

Let it marinate

Of course it needs time to cook, it ain't "dark" enough for it to be rushed yet. That's always how Merchant felt.

cleverly said bro!!!...true!!

What a crock of shh..this fight has been cooking since rumors that Canelo got beaten up in sparring surfaced years ago. This is almost as bad as "he needs to grow into 160 regardless if he walks around weighing more than his opponent".

[mike1010011]

Yes,because the last time we let a fight "cook" it took 5 or 6 years to make,both fighters were past their prime,and the fight turned out to be one of the biggest disappointments in the history of the sport. But yeah,we need to let this fight cook too.

No. The fight needs to happen in 2016. Canelo is prime, Golovkin is prime...why wait that out?

Personally I don't care if the fight even gets made now. Too many hoops and bull**** already. Stuff like this always leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

The same thing happened when Floyd and Manny took forever to face each other. I lost interest. Then we got GGG vs Ward, another fight that got ruined by not happening when it should have. Walters vs Loma, Thurman vs Porter.

The fighters today, they always find a way to p|ss me off. All are guilty of it, some more blatant than others.

I should come up with a boxing based board game. As sad as that sounds, we would probably get more action from that than in the boxing reality.

Bullsquat...Canelo just 25 he's at least 2 yrs off before he hit's his prime. I'm all down for this fight to happen 18 months from now. There's no reason for Golden Boy to rush this fight in two yrs will be much bigger.
