Comments Thread For: Golovkin Reminds Canelo - Fight Will Be at 160-Pounds

Whats unclear? You make a weight concession for the smaller guy if you want the fight and there's no mandate. Nobody makes a weight concession as mando to fellow champ who weighs more fight night. Like, its probably never happened before.

So we got another "fan" supporting 155 for 3 belts + lineal, cong****.

You do when your last PPV bout TANKED!!!

I'm not supporting the catch weight. All I'm saying is he's getting the same treatment that he gave to other fighters. It's all about $. They'll fight Alvarez with or without a belt In a heart beat. Hell, they'll even fight De La Hoya if he wanted to fight them. And to be honest even if you're a mado or have a belt, it doesn't carry much weight like it did back then. Money carries the weight now and Alvarez brings the money to the table. Sad but true

I've never heard of this. I bet it's never happened before, a champ demanding max possible cw to unify belts. I challenge you to find a precedent. And then find one as above but CW champ heavier than challenger fight night lol

Nope Ggg has never demanded a CW in his division, not many have. But I don't think the weight is the main issue. If Canelo wants it, they'll do it at 157-8. It's still bad form for all those belts, but its not a joke like 155. The real hitch is, Canelo people don't want him in the ring with Ggg under any circumstance but dropping that belt would be most unmexican

Well it looks like Golovkin will have to wait til 2017 then. Canelo is not desperate, he can wait until he grows into 160. There is absolutely no rush for him to do so. He is the superstar of the sport now.

If so they should have him stripped in may, then he can challenge whenever his body is ready

Who cares what Mr. 97k PPV says. Mr. 2.5 Mil PPV's calls the shots. You don't want it, who cares!? You're nobody. Canelo is Thee New face of boxing.

Fight GGG at the 160 limit or give up the belt you fraud champ!

No one cares about Ducklovkin.

I've said it before. I'll say it again.

It was a b**** move when Golovkin asked for a catchweight against Ward despite being willing to fight others at 168.

It is a b**** move when Alvarez asked for a catchweight against Golovkin despite holding middleweight belts.

And I don't care which fighter you support if you support these catchweights or are celebrating when these b**** moves prevent good fights from happening then you are a b****. Simple as.
