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

[ThatDude44]

I can guarantee you if GGG opponent was Garcia or brook for a title it be the most scrutinize talk on boxing.

I think that's because of the fighters that he has no interest in fighting that some people would like to see because of contrasting styles. Canelo hasn't said no to anyone.

Chavez and Froch ducked him at 168 while Ward ducke at 164. Just wait for 1-2 years, until all belts are unified

Chavez didn't duck him you fkn gtard! That biatch added a $1,000,000 per lb catch weight!!! After everything was agreed upon and then arum tried fkn with him after that.

Ggg gonna be close like close to forty in a few years so... Yeah he gonna be wrong side of 35 and he's gonna move up???? But hey u still got those memories of his ppv flop.

Did u even buy that pos fight???

And he'll probably be ranked ahead of EVERY other MW outside of GGG! The division is GARBAGE!!! At least he's makes MOST P4P top #20 lists unlike the Wal-mart workers GGG has fought! Not 1 even makes top #50!!! Fk maybe not even top #100 p4P.

mw isnt hot garb..well yes it is, but their are some big punchers there, but that is about it...i do think danny jacobs could get in ggg's chest and give him a good fight, but all he wants to do is get paid..and ggg doesnt want to do that..haymon has those boys getting money and they wont take a back burner to ggg i guess..

Canelo can be whatever the F he wants to. He's fighting Khan in a huge fight worth tons and tons of money and exposure.

GGG will fight some bum whose name I can't even remember. For chump change at that.

Stay delusional Sanchez.

The main reason why Floyd got somewhat of a pass on the catchweight with Canelo is because Nelo had previously said he'd come down to 150. Plus, the manner in which Floyd won left little doubt as to whether the fight would have been different at the full 154 limit.

Same with the Nelo-GGG situation. GGG is on record saying he'd come down to 154 to fight Floyd. So logic says that if you'll do 154 for Floyd, why not 155 for Canelo? Plus, he asked Ward to come down to 164. So unless you're a completely irrational fanboy. There's quite a bit of hypocrisy coming from GGG's camp on weight issues.

Let me explain golovkin going down to 154 for floyd has far different reasons than going down for canelo....
1 Floyd Probably weighs no more than 154lbs maximum come fight time and yet canelo will come into the ring at least 175lbs when he steps in the ring and probably more than golovkin !
2 Floyd mayweather has none or very low power in his punches at welterweight and would not trouble golovkin if he dropped down in weight... so Floyd poses less of a threat if golovkin was weight weakened ...however canelo has shown good power and punches far harder at the weight and if golovkin was weight weakened it might cause more damage.
3 Floyd mayweather was the P4P King of boxing...he is unbeaten and when he faced canelo he literally took him to school so beating canelo represents a far less achievement than beating Floyd mayweather
4 financially a Floyd mayweather vs Gennady golovkin would smash a canelo vs golovkin out the park in terms of purse and PPV revenue so it's common sense that you would go that little bit further in terms weight if the rewards and acclaim are much better....risk & reward yeah ?
4 the bottom line is canelo poses much more of a risk physically than Floyd mayweather if golovkin was to drain down to a lower weight.....common sense
5 it's a mandatory and golovkin has every right to weigh what he wants especially if canelo is pretending to a middlweight champion.

GGG called the bluff of Ward by making 164 offer- right in the middle of 160 and 168. That was a fair deal from all standpoints. They compromised and made consessions. Did Ward made a step forward to finalize the deal? That's a clear duck

Why is GGG willing to fight DeGale at 168? Also Froch and Chavez Jr?

But with Ward...Sanchez said it had to be 164 or no fight. It's clear as day that they saw Andre as a real threat so they sought the advantage of making him come down in weight.

Now that Canelo is seeking that same advantage I have no sympathy for Team Golovkin.

U haters like to justify one's actions by the financial sense. So why can't you accept the same argument for GGG?
In any case GGG wasn't taking any weight advantage. He made a fair offer to meet at the middle. Do u get the difference?

Chavez was offered a huge payday and an extension of the contract, and on top of that the weight concession of 168. He ducked, lost to Fonfara, and where is he now?

[junior gong]

The MW division is 160lbs not 155. Nobody can call themselves the mw champ and insist on fighting for that title at 155lbs without looking like a complete coward. It simply isnt possible, and its even worse when you have decided to fight a ww with a chin made of rice paper for that title. It's an embarrassment.

[Sledgeweather17]

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.

Vacating the belt won't give Canelo any goodwill either, coz that's the only way he can force a catchweight, otherwise he will get stripped by the wbc for avoiding his mandatory.
