Comments Thread For: Warren Confirms Offer For Liam Smith To Face Canelo

[techliam]

1) Two words..... Floyd Mayweather
WBC Welterweight, AND WBC Super Welterweight Champion

2) They have ignored their own rules on numerous occasions

Can't you read?

The WBO requested Floyd Mayweather (those special two words) vacate his 154 titles in order to keep the belt. Which he didn't do.

Usually, any article to do with potential Golovkin opponents brings out the tards and really gets them whining.

But very little whining so far in this thread ?

I don't know why, because for once there should be.

The only reason why a Canelo fight with Golovkin should be deferred is because Canelo is not a genuine middleweight, and 2-3 fights will allow him to adapt to 160 before facing the beast Golovkin.....

..... well, 2-3 fights will not enable Canelo to adapt to 160 IF he is fighting a JMW at 154

So, you may now proceed to whine.

I told you all that Canelo's next opponent will indicate his intentions.

Well, it aint looking good for Golovkin

The WBC are going to end up looking real ****** here.

Like I said yesterday, they should have obtained a commitment from Canelo that he will defend at 160 BEFORE they deferred his mandatory Golovkin.

Really, Canelo simply told the WBC that "we will get back to you later, once we have decided upon our future", and yet they still seem to be focused on 154.

Makes sort of sense

However, Canelo's intentions aren't at all clear - if the weight of a potential Canelo-Smith fight isn't clear either... it's not at all certain it'd be at 154. Warren hasn't said anything about the weight at all.

GGG just asked Canelo:

Why wait?

Canelo shud reply

Because 97K , that's why

[MDPopescu]

Canelo may fight at 135 next if he pleases. WBC ruling reads that, at the end of May, Canelo and GGG must start negotiations or the one who fails gets stripped.

Well, that is true, but you would have to assume that it is 154.

Or 155, in Canelo's case.

Either way..... IF Canelo is preparing for GGG, then there is no point in fighting Smith, at any weight.

The indications are pretty clear to me.

Not good news for Golovkin.

The WBC are gonna look real dumb on this one.

[HanzGruber]

wonder what canelo fans will say if canelo offer ggg 155

Makes No Sense

There are a few reasons why offering Smith makes no sense

1. While Liam Smith is super talented and is progressing each fight. He's not known in the states. He has never fought on any networks that are broadcasted in the U.S. to my knowledge. So that's a very tough Pay Per View sell.

2. He fights at Junior Middleweight. But my question is why wouldn't he go for the vacate WBC title that is about to be determined through some tournament?

3. If he's trying to hold titles in 2 different weight classes that's fine. But doesn't he have to fight at Middleweight in May for a voluntary defense? Isn't that what him and GGG agreed too?

All I know is he better hold his word on fighting GGG in September or fans will riot and Canelo will start to lose his fan base.

Why?!?!?

Don't like what this could mean for the fight we all actually want later this year.

[MisanthropicNY]

LOL I remember the Mayweather haters would cry about his opponents, but sheesh... Headlining Cinco De Mayo with a total cab driver... boxing is really winning

[MisanthropicNY]

So they are going to sell hundreds of thousands of drunk Mexicans..on an excuse to get drunk to watch Canelo beat an "undefeated" gringo..and then after the fight call out Triple G and then still hide behind the catch weight..
