Comments Thread For: Golovkin Feels Good About Possibility of Canelo Bout Happening

[bigjavi973]

If lil'g doesn't have the WBC belt by the end of the year it is their own fault and no one else's.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Suliman is forcing Garcia to fight Khan but when it comes to Canelo fighting GGG, it needs to be prolonged? lol

I think GGG needs to move on. He'll get jerked around forever thinking he'll get a Canelo fight. That or he'll have to give up a significant advantage, which I don't think is worth. Canelo has had too many advantages without having to prove himself at full scale.

This fight will happen but not this year. I don't see either fighter backing down from their weight stances so looks like Canelo will be stripped. I don't blame GGG. If a guy wants my title I don't have to go down in weight, I would do the same thing.

If I thought I could beat him...... I would take that HUGE payday, and that HUGE exposure, and bank it..... just like lots of other fighters have done.

Canelo will get stripped anyway.

The only offers he made were to JMW's.

No wait.....

They actually made an offer to Saunders too, right ?

Did Canelo make an offer to Saunders, but refuse to fight Golovkin ?

I think he did, sure Hearn mentioned it, unless it was someone else I'm thinking of.

LMAO

If this fight doesnt happen this year, one of the fighter's stock will drop significantly. and if you think it's Golovkin, your dead wrong. Canelo's not Mayweather and Golovkin isn't Pacquiao. They need each other

[QballLobo]

Golovkin can't say anything else. WBC issued a ruling -- therefore just following it...

WBC didn't issue anything. GGG agrees to give Canelo a free defense. GGG was under no obligation to agree to this. He could have held Canelo's feet to the fire and forced him to fight him or vacate.
Fact is GGG has no leverage to force anything. Yeah he wants the belt but the bigger prize is his first major payday and them stripping that eliminates that opportunity.
