Comments Thread For: Team Golovkin: No Negotiating Weight With Canelo, 160 or Vacate

[Eastcoast]

Good on Loeffler, Canelo can't be happy about forcing himself down to 155lbs only to blow up to 175lbs on fight night. Let Canelo become the challenger as he should be. He's never beaten a fighter at 160lbs to legitimize himself as the MW champion.

Canelo vacate? I wanna see the WBC actually strip their Mexican star.

I have a hard time believing they would strip the #1 star in boxing right now as well. Add to that he is Mexican and well, I'll believe it when I see it.

When he fights DeGale at 168 and beats him, there will be no one willing to face him at SM. The Canelo types will be hoping to drain him to 155, the SW will want to come in heavy. Ward will be happy to come down to CW (cruiserweight) to fight him. Floyd will talk about how he could beat him at 154 but won't be signing up for the beating. He's the best and they are all scared.

Floyd Mayweather isn't an active fighter. So I don't see the relevance of bringing him up in this conversation.

As for folks being "scared" to fight. I think we outta cross that bridge when we get there. As of right now, no one at super middleweight has shown any signs of not wanting to fight Gennady. So until they do, its nothing but mindless assumptions from way too emotionally invested fanboys.

The problem with your post is DeGale is advised by Haymon, HBO doesn't do business with Haymon. So DeGale won't be fighting GGG, and Dominic Wade (also advised by Haymon) will not be fighting GGG either. GGG's only shot at a mega-fight is with Canelo...and that's going to be @ 155!

GGG is a hype job who has easy fights against bums

Come on! Lemieux and Murray were GGG's toughest fights tow journey men and weak who lose big fights. GGG has yet to face a true tough fight. Jacobs is a tough fight. as is Canelo yellow. Even Saunders maybe? But GGG is mostly comie propaganda and a fraud. More hammer and Pickle and brain washing the dimwits who follow boxing. Golovkin might be the most mid managed fighter in boxing history with terrible promoters in K2 which is P U.

You're a moron, if Lemieux and Murray are journeymen then Jacobs is one too. Jacobs got sparked in 4 rounds against Pirog with one punch therefore hes a bum according to you.

If Canelo won't defend the belt at 160 then he needs to vacate the title. I'd prefer to see them fight obviously, but I don't want to see anyone parading as MW champion while not fighting at the designated weight. It was only barely a little tolerable with Cotto because he's close to the end of his career and is just too small. Canelo is not too small to campaign at 160.

Alvarez shouldn't be allowed to be the Super-Junior Middleweight Champion of the world no matter how big of a draw he is. Sorry GBP.

Just saying commie GGG is not great just some Russian who has fought mostly bums and has been given greatness status because GGG is white. Average probably but still a hype job who is mismanaged and makes little at 33yrs old.
