Comments Thread For: Canelo is Proud of His Resume, Says Golovkin Fight Will Happen

[-Kev-]

Well he's is pretty accurate, he's not fabricating anything. He actually has fought the best fighters of his era in Mayweather and Cotto. The Pac fight can't happen but that's not on Canelo. He's a 25 year old who's fought the best already, and the second best, like Lara and Trout and he will add Golovkin to that as well.

Fight your WBC MIDDLEWEIGHT mandatory next, you freckled bag of ****

[gmc_rfc_06]

Canelo fighting Amir Khan says it all.Khan would be considered a weak opponent for most welterweights'.....joke of a fight.against a joke of a fighter.
Canelo struggled against a 40 year old Moseley so I guess this fight makes sense as a -c fight....never as some try to make put it a super fight...for that you need superfighers.

Canelo was 21 when he fought Mosley and it wasn't a struggle.

By age 25 he has wins over Lara, Cotto, Trout, Angulo, Kirkland, Mosley and also dropped in weight to fight Mayweather.

His resume looks pretty damn good.

If Canelo beats him now at 155; "Golovkin was drained." If Canelo waits a year or two and beats him at whatever weight, "Golovkin was old." Just take your time Canelo, either way the excuses are preconceived notions.

So by your logic, he should fight him now at 160, no? That way, there is no excuses?

It took over five years for the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao super-fight to take place and while the action in the ring may have left a lot to be desired, the decision to let the fight marinate made it bigger and more lucrative for all involved.

Using that example, I asked Canelo if he felt a GGG showdown would be a bigger event if it was pushed back a year or two. "Exactly," Canelo said in agreement. All of us feel that in one or two years that the fight will be even bigger. But - we are here to fight and the day that they say the fight is made we will be ready to step in the ring."

The boxing media is afraid to grill these dudes, man. The interviewer literally gave Canelo the excuse to marinate the fight for one to two years in his question. No wonder fights don't get made when they are supposed to.

How come nobody is asking him, as the WBC middleweight champion of the world, do you plan on defending your title against a middleweight?

Why are you holding on to the title if you don't plan on campaigning at middleweight?

Are you going to fulfill your mandatory obligation as a middleweight champion?

I can only imagine if Lebron James, Cam Newton or somebody else was pulling this type of **** in another more reputable sport. SMH

i know people love to pile on canelo in the ggg stuff but lets be honest here. Canelo has always fought who the public wanted him to fight and there is no reason for me to think he wont fight ggg. both sides agreed that it was best to milk it a little longer this wasnt just gbp who thought this team ggg also agreed it was more profitable to do it a year later.

When you really get down to it canelo has fought those the public said he wouldnt using hindsight is pointless but there was trout, lara, mayweather all of which the public said he would avoid and not fight. Canelo fought lara and trout at a time when he could of used the same excuse ggg used with ward cause there were fights where canelo could of taken an easier route and made more money or just fought a manditory. Instead canelo has vacated titles to avoid his mandos so that he could fight the tough fights.

its getting kinda old hearing the canelo is scared of ggg narrative when its canelo not ggg who has been willing to go the extra mile to make the tough fights. no reason for me to think canelo wont fight ggg and ggg fan boys are not going to convince me otherwise. People used same narrative with trout and lara only to have canelo take less money to fight them

Pac and bradley are way to small for canelo pac barely made 144 for floyd ,bradley would have to come in and out and clinch the whole fight he barely makes 147 not happening

I was being sarcastic, I think Khan/Canelo is a disgusting joke of a fight. If Canelo claims he's too small for GGG (despite weighing heavier than GGG on fight nights), then he should be fighting top guys around his weight like J-Rock, Jermall Charlo, and Demetrius Andrade.

I would 100% rather see Canelo fighting J-Rock instead of Amir Khan who just struggled at 147 vs Chris Algeri.

So by your logic, he should fight him now at 160, no? That way, there is no excuses?

I wouldn't mind that. I'd prefer no excuses. However, is the alleged monster Golovkin the first guy you are supposed to fight at 160, when you've never fought there, by your logic?

[OnePunch]

Yeah Canelo has some bigger fights to make after Khan like the winner of Pacquiao/Bradley.

or maybe the winner of Gonzalez-Arroyo...... smh........

Are you serious? First off he fought Mosley a lifetime ago when he was 21. Second he didn't struggle he won basically every single round.

Canelo crushes Mosley in decision

That's the ESPN article title after the fight.

"Alvarez was happy to take advantage, cleaning Mosley's clock with numerous clean right hands and left hooks. Both fighters worked hard to the body, but Alvarez seemed to win that battle, too, on his way to winning by scores of 119-109, 119-109 and 118-110. ESPN.com had it for Alvarez, 118-110."

Punch stats
Alvarez (40-0-1, 29 KOs) repeatedly rocked Mosley (46-8-1, 39 KOs) with shots, landing 348 of 673 punches (52 percent).

Mosley managed to land 183 of 745 punches (25 percent), according to CompuBox.

Doubled up the landed punches and winning virtually every round is struggling? Stop trying to rewrite history with your Canelo hate. He's already fought 10 plus world champs more then double that of GGG, faced multiple HOFers, multiple fighters who were top 10 p4p ranked at the time they faced him and he's only 25. Nobody in his age bracket has half the resume as him. GGG is 34 and his resume isn't close to Canelo's. GGG has fought by far the inferiour level of competition. Want to talk about C class fights look at GGG because that's basically all he's ever fought.
