Comments Thread For: Sanchez: Canelo Can Be 155, But Golovkin Will Weigh 160!

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

you either bow down to canelo or you dont get the fight lil G, and your old ass carry on being irrelevant.

His feet are ok, he cuts the ring off with the best. Good footwork gets you into position to attack or out of trouble. All that dancing around the ring is called keep away. Some times, like when Collazo hurt Thurman, it comes in handy, but it can boor me to sleep all the time.

cutting off the ring vs who tho? monroe who is really not a ring general just a guy that postures as if he can really box...im not worried about being bored in big competitive fights..at that point it just intrigues me to see who the best is..canelolara was great to me..but lara vs rodriguez was a pure bore

he leaps into head shots, not body shots...LARA HAS GREAT HEAD MOVEMENT, REFLEXES, AND VISION...can ggg make the adjustment to leap into body shots like canelo did? WE DONT KNOW YET...AND WILL HIS POWER STILL BE THE SAME..
WELL PLACED/PLANTED BODY SHOTS WONT WORK ON LARA UNLESS U FIGHT IN THE ANGULO CHEST TO CHEST STYLE, AND GGG DOES NOT..HE LIKES SPACE TO EXPLODE...but his explosion usually start with head shots..canelo lead with body shots..GGG never really does

[tiliheels]

Say what you want about GGG but he literally has some of the best footwork out of any boxer alive, that is not an overstatement.

He is always centres and balanced with that ruski style which enables him to throwf hurtful punches EVERYTIME- even moving forward throwing combinations. He's also very conservative with his movement which keeps more in the tank, whilst cutting off the ring again better than any other pro in the game. He'll slowly stalk you "plodding" whilst you waste energy trying to circle and still find yourself trapped in a corner.

His footwork is unreal man.

but he hasnt fought great ring generals like lara...monroe doesnt compare..angulo cuts the ring well, but he also doesnt need the space to operate that GGG prefers...if GGG leads with a head shot all of his efforts are usless vs lara..he'll duck and spin right out...and out of all the ggg tapes i see i never see him leading with hooks to the body like canelo did to slow lara...

if u throw one to the head of lara the rest of your puches are a waist bc he's busy getting away from that one...then we have to see if ggg is confident enough to keep up the chase while lara can pick him apart

i finally agree with you on something..he has to challenge himself or he'll keep getting fights that we dont care about no matter how many belts are involved

[MAWUEL]

K2/Abel/GGG are in no position to negotiate

It's about big fights not belts. If Nelo insists on 155 then that's what it is or sit back fight cans and continue to run through a weak as f.uck MW division but doing that won't raise his profile any higher with or without all the belts.

I completely agree with you.

[tiliheels]

for people arguin me that ggg is not a head hunter

explain this without saying "he carried him":
after the first knockdown of willie monroe why didnt GGG attempt any body shot after missing about 10 head shots in a row? the only body shot that landed was monroes...
i study film bro and this lara fight is inching closer and closer the more is study, but i will never rule out a GGG beat down bc he has one shot changing **** in his gloves

[SUBZER0ED]

Near as I can tell, the issue seems to be that Canelo is the "A" side and should be able to choose the weight AND keep the belt. It just works better for him, and he has a bigger fanbase, so he should be able to set the rules.

Last I heard, boxers don't make the rules, sanctioning bodies do. Canelo can state what weight he wants to fight at, but neither the WBA nor Golovkin are obligated to grant him his wish. What's the point of even having weight classes, if bitch ass fighters will make up their own? It's pretty obvious that the only reason a fighter demands a CW is because he doesn't have what it takes to win at the sanctioned weight. Therefore, he wants to weaken his opponent by making him starve himself down to an unnatural lower weight. Golovkin relies heavily on his power and ability to take a punch. Why would he compromise that? If he agrees to to a CW and struggles or even loses to Canelo, his career and rep will take a huge hit.

sure i totally believe everything team ggg says i mean they have only told us they will not take any step aside money only to do it 3 times now why would they lie

"to force him down to a certain weight, that's unacceptable."

but it was acceptable when you wanted to force andre ward down to 164. Isn't that right, abel sanchez?
