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

[Ray*]

Oscar has done a credible job of conning gullible fans. Cotto said from the beginning that he wasn't sure if he would fight Golovkin and if he did, the fight would be at a catchweight. Oscar and Alvarez reeled in gullible fans by initially saying that Alvarez would definitely fight Golovin at 160. Then, slowly but surely, they started backing off that claim until they have come to this point - the point where they are not willing to fight Golovin at any time or any weight. Brilliant!

I don't think anyone has been "Conned" here. Everyone knew they were not ready or willing to fight GGG... We all knew that from day 1.

Oscar is not doing Canelo vs GGG this year, I wouldn't be shocked if they waited all the way up until September 2017 to finally fight him and the WBC will allow it and GGG will allow it because he is desperate for a Payday.

I expect canelo to get a voluntarily defense

Basically Oscar is saying that the fight will happen on their terms only. Its up to GGG and K2 if they want to accept them this year or not.

Does Oscar have any other fighters in his stable?

Nothing like he used to. Canelo is without a doubt Oscar's golden boy.

The fight will happen when nelo can pluck up the courage to fight at 160, no cw. Nobody knows exactly when that would be. It may never come.

Basically you just made that up. He didn't mention any terms, he just doesn't want it any time soon

Sounds like he really went there to discuss Canelo fighting at the stadium, not necessarily against GGG.
