Khan has more balls than the Ginger...so I question this comment.. because Khan would move up to 160 before the Ginger would... I'd bet my life on that.. but bruhhh

Golvkin's Coach: No Catch-Weight for Chocolatito Gonzalez

^^^

I think you should bet your life on a whole lot of things, randomly.

Exactly. He's still willing to do it for the right fight and exposure/money. Just as it should be. He doesn't have to respond to newbies calling for him to fight all over the map, he looks for good fights and the good fights are ducking him. Canelo needs a catchweight, Cotto wouldn't fight him, Floyd's dad said Floyd would be crazy to fight him after Floyd said he could beat him at 154, then Floyd retired and his BS posse continues to downplay GGG because Floyd retired with a huge GGG fight available that would have actually proved some greatness on his part and that will be glaringly ovbious in the near future, Lara always wants to fight him when the fight isn't available, Billy Saunders waits until he signs and then says he's willing, same thing, Danny Jacobs is nowhere to be found, Andy Lee would have fought him but lost to Saunders, you don't see Trout looking to fight him and Cotto was easy for Trout. Your turn...

Is that Hypekin dribble for...... promised us that he could beat everyone from 154-168, and yet not only has he completely failed to even try, now he wants to cherry-pick winnable fights against static opponents?

Is that what you meant ?

Canelo lost his one leg to stand on in arguing he doesn't have to do what the commission wants. This is the third time in 2 1/2 years a fighter with zero fights at 160 gets a shot at that title meanwhile the mandatory has to watch it happen. Sulaiman is going to have to deliver or watch the other belts become more relevant.

He did offer Ward, Froch...fights..they said "NO" as much as I detest getting into the bickering over this nonsense those are the facts..they said NO including Chavez Jr.

I don't think Abel gets any of this. If they want the fight the gotta take it on the A side terms, GGG ain't draw here, the best they can hope for is 156 I reckon or they can forget about lineage. I'm sure the WBC won't mind creating another belt for Canelo to contest they could call it something fancy like the 'Canelo WBC 155 belt' to win it you gotta be called Saul Alvarez and have a shyt ton of fans who don't care who you fight or even regardless of if you win, they just love drinking beer and eating taco yet are prepared to spend a hundred bucks watching you crush cans.

[The Gambler1981]

If by some chance Khan wins, then wins the rematch (perhaps loses close) and then wants to fight Golovkin, I would reckon that his team would have to listen to those terms. Might be too much to do and a reasonable counter offer might not be enough to make the fight but that is an opportunity that should not be passed over lightly.

[GaryMSchneider]

Abel Sanchez, trainer for IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, says his fighter will not entertain a catch-weight bout for Amir Khan - should he secure an upset victory over Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez on May 7th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The GGG haters are always on this site....spouting off nothing that makes any sense....but then haters don't operate on logic and reason.....the only knock against GGG is his level opposition.....but only a hater would knock that....I know when a fighter is being ducked....and GGG is being ducked....

No, that is not what happened, and you know it.

[ironmike2012]

If Khan pulls the upset (don't hold your breath), GGG should do some catchweight to get the fight (157-8).
He could get the easiest KO of his career, even weight drained.

As much as hate catchweights, I can see doing it to make a fight, but it should not be forced. If some one is moving up, they are at a disadvantage.
Khan would need GGG at 150, that would make it a 50/50 fight, isn't that the whole point of handicapping?

Either way GGG needs to break thru, he should bend a little or the divas will never fight him.

[ShoulderRoll]

Team Golovkin just doesn't get it. They don't dictate terms to fighters like Khan or Canelo who have big fanbases and plenty of options.

If they feel like it they'll tell Golovkin to kick rocks, vacate the belt, and then go make money against someone else.
