    New Found Respect For Canelo

    I was on the fence with the whole Canelo-GGG weight controversy, but I have to admit I respect Canelo's decision to fight Khan. Some argue that it's a mismatch, but having thought long about it you have to give props to the guy for giving Khan the fight after Mayweather snubbed Khan for so long. It's a good victory to have on his resume and doesn't give Khan the opportunity to claim in the future that Canelo was afraid of him, like he's doing now with Mayweather. I also think GGG is to blame, Canelo laid out his conditions and if GGG wanted it he'd agree, what's a few pounds matter anyway. In boxing,you have to take a risk sometimes if you want the glory, Canelo has the title GGG needs...not the other way round.

      Niga you ******ed. Maybe Tyson Fury should fight Canelo so Canelo can't say he ducked him.

          Khan's done nothing to earn that kind of payday and canelo doesn't need to be fighting welter weights.

            I was shock that Canelo took on such a daring fight, actually amazed. Mayweather and pacquaio both refused to face khan out of fear of his hand speed.

            Canelo gonna have to be firing on all pistons.

                  Double dumb comment.

                  First, Canelo doesn't have the right to lay out conditions for a mandatory defence. He has to follow the rules of the sport, the same as any other boxer or any athlete in any other sport.

                  Second, if a couple of pounds don't matter, why can't he fight Golovkin at the official sanctioned weight for a MW title fight... 160lbs?

                    yea ggg really shouldnt be knocking everybody out, he should make himself more approachable so the fight would be made. maybe start doing 12 rd decisions instead of ktfo everybody.
