Comments Thread For: Canelo Still Firm on 155-Pounds For Golovkin Showdown

[bigjer88]

155....90/10 split.

Canelo knows what he's doing. He's the one pulling 2.2 mil, 900k, etc.

Golovkin is the one doing 97k. Smart move by Canelo and his team. It's just common logic and math.

Agree with all of this, except the 97k figure. That's been debunked. Using it only shows unfair bias.

Lil G deserves this treatment for that Ward bullshit. I like the 90/10 split idea too since Lil G pulled that "isn't a draw" bullshit too. Canelo and Oscar are ****s but man this shit is too funny. I think it'd be hilarious if Canelo stays at 155lbs. no matter what(stripped or not) and forces Lil G to accept, move up, or never get a big name on his resume.

People like you pollute so many threads at this forum like the dregs you find floating around near the bottom of a keg of home-brewed booze.

Golovkin should just have Canelo stripped of the MW title. Canelo & Cotto shouldn't be allowed to pretend to be MW champions if they're unwilling to fight actual MW's.

GGG should focus on Jacobs and Lara. At some point Alvarez won't be able to cut those 20lbs to get to 155lbs and will need to move up to the full 160lbs. Also there are no bigger fights for Alvarez than Golovkin. Overtime he'll need Golovkin if he wants another major payday.

Lara would fight Gennady at 160.


Conelo is full of ****.

[Chrismart]

At the end of the day, he can fight at any weight he wants. But he shouldn't be allowed to hold belts in a division were he prohibits his opponents from weighing in at the standard/max limit.

How long is he going to fight in catchweight limbo for?

This ^

Nothing wrong with a catch-weight and the mega fight PPV revenue but...

Refusing to defend or challenge for a belt at Championship Weight is simply ridiculous and inexcusable.

Lil G said 164 for Ward doe

[Dean_Razorback]

GGG should accept, he destroys canelo even at 155. that fight will propel him to stardom, at least boxing stardom

[-PBP-]

Negotiation 101. Start high to meet in the middle. 157 lbs, 70/30 split and the fight will get done.

This is especially true when you factor in the hit that Canelo's drawing power will take if he is stripped of his title for refusing to defend at the MW limit.

I'm cool with that.
