Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Eventually Canelo-Golovkin Happens, Needs To Build

Don't put pressure on nelo. When he's ready to face GGG without a cw, nelo will know that time. Maybe when GGG shows s little wear and tear?

Maybe when nelo becomes a top ten p4p fighter he will be ready?

GGG is 34 in April. He is past his absolute peak prime now for sure unless he is a freak like Hopkins. Canelo/ GBP just waiting out the 'monster' - cowardly.
DLH is wrong on this as I can see one or other getting beaten and then the marinating strategy blows back in his and Canelo's faces.

Y do I have a feeling the fight ain't happening in 2016 n that the wbc would come up with some kind of lame bs to stall the fight again...

Lol it must hurt boxing fans how ufc make any fight no matter what nobody is scared of no one. It sure does hurt me.

Hopkins' a con-artist.. He was winning due to smart match-making. Got beat every time he stepped up to real talent, or even decent talent.

ive been saying it all along that they don't want alvared to get killed.de la hoya and alvared both talk lots of **** about the fight happening and look at what boxing is getting in may.the cowardly circus continues

Canelo will get stripped if it don't happen in September ...simple it's already in writing so I'm not worried about it....want to see the middlweight title become a middleweight title again...and away from the 155 waffle....now really how must canelo feel inside knowing that he s purposely being protected and shielded away from a fighter who deserves his shot at the full title...it's shameful and honestly I really couldn't care less about canelo or Khan and I think personally they will struggle to sell out the arena in May ....people don't buy into mismatches and gimmicks and I cannot see it being a success....golden boy,k2 and the WBC have all signed that it must be agreed within 15 days....so I will watch the framptons&quiggs and the martins&joshuas play out in the meantime.....see what happens I reckon

Building is beneficial to everybody except the fans.

It allows father time to take some of the life out of GGG

It allows Canelo and,GGG to make big paydays vs subpar opposition during the "build up"

It allows more fans to familiarize themselves with both fighter

And what do we get? A 28 year old Canelo vs an old, shot GGG wondering how the fight would've happened if they fought today.

Canelo may come and fight GGG later, if ever... but first he has to vacate if he doesn't fight him in autumn.
