WBC 30 day weigh-ins

[buge]

Because Cotto had Oscar over a barrel and forgot the vaseline; Oscar lashes out to the press when things don't go his way, as is his nature. lol

Canelo, at 155, has fought Angulo, Lara, Kirkland, Cotto, and is due to fight Khan. With this Golovkin farce out of the way, Alvarez can look towards fights with Michael Soro, Demetrius Andrade, Gabriel Rosado, and WBO 154 champ Liam Smith; all at 154/155. (Heck, throw in Anthony Mundine as an option if you want).

It's not like Alvarez is facing a dearth of fights that he can sell.

Now, Golovkin, refusing to take the biggest fight of his career at 155 and simply be handed another belt, does what next?

The WBA has already said that they will call for Golovkin-Jacobs once the WBC situation is settled; with Showtime backing Jacobs, Golovkin and his camp would likely have a decision to make. Beyond that Team Golovkin would likely have to overpay to block Saunders-EubankJr II.

talk about a guy with egg on his face

every one of those guys listed would be KOd by GGG

If GGG gets handed the WBC belt from someone too scared to fight him, I assume he will continue being paid over a million dollars each fight to fight whoever his mandatorys are plus a voluntary here and there. He'll then eventually retire with $50M in the bank and go down as one of the best middleweights of all time. What a horrible life.

I don't know. Who is the guy with egg on his face? Could it be the guy whose most famous and accomplished countryman in boxing, the great Julio Chavez, Sr., has already denounced for taking the Khan fight, as reported today? I mean, that's your fellow Mexican, the great senatorial figure in boxing, saying come on already, fight Golovkin, man!

I doubt that, for the simple fact that the boxing public is growing tired of "The Golovkin Show", as made clear by the lack of attention given to the first PPV fight.

I sincerely doubt that the boxing public is going to come back to see Golovkin-Heiland or whatever other soft touch that they can scrounge up. good luck with that, though.

El Gran Campeon will say what he will say; if Alvarez follows up the Khan fight with a Cotto rematch, all will be forgiven. You add that he follows that up with Rosado/Liam Smith, before taking on a guy like Demetrius Andrade, and there's no real criticism to throw at Alvarez (Mayweather, Angulo, Lara, Kirkland, Cotto, Khan Cotto II, Liam Smith, and Andrade is a heck of a run).

Golovkin? He fights Dominic Wade, likely has to walk away from the Jacobs fight, fights JS Heiland, maybe fights Hassan N'Dam, and then goes back to feeding on bums.

The fight is there for Golovkin; only problem is that it's at 155. If he doesn't want the fight, his future is pretty straightforward. Doubt that Chavez Jr would cheer on Golovkin for not fighting at 155.
