Hey Mexican Canelo fans

[M Bison]

They should lose respect for Canelo If he doesn't have the balls to fight him, Canelo has done everything in his power to avoid this one like the ginger coward he is.

[ShoulderRoll]

Golovkin should agree to 155 and see what happens. If Canelo still doesn't fight him after that then he deserves to lose respect.

[Tomjas]

I'm not Mexican or a Nelo fan but I think he should stay at 155 and GGG, being the B side, needs to cut 5lbs if he wants some of that star money. The ugly thing is Canelo holding that 160 belt. He needs to drop that sucker as it looks bad to hold a belt outside your weight class. There is nothing wrong with Canelo staying at 155. That is his weight class and he's the star. Golovkin can fritter away his remaining few boxing year crushing cans if he's afraid to seek greater things.

As a mandatory, GGG's % of the total purse is set in stone so there is no "star money."

Im Mexican, born in Guadalajara, Mexico. In spanish for proof, soy mexicano nacido en Guadalajara, Mexico. And I'm ashamed of Canelo, he is a goddamn coward. People here locally make fun of him and are calling him a low life chicken, everybody here in Mexico recognizes he is scared of Gennady. Uorale!

War Golovkin! The sometimes Mexican, sometimes Puerto Rican native who isn't scared to call out all his coward countrymen

No. The agreement is they both have a fight and their next fight is against each other. If they can't negotiate they go to purse bid. Nothing is stopping this fight. If an injury happens that'll stop the fight. All that stuff you talking about is irrelevant because a purse bid will rectify those issues.

How can those issues be "irrelevant" when they stopped MayPac from happening for years. They are as big of issues as the fighters let them be.

[goodvibes]

Well this is dumb, considering its Team Canelo saying 155 or no fight.

It's called posturing. People do it when they're negotiating.

They're just throwing a number out there knowing that GGG probably won't accept while trying to feel him out.

I say GGG/Canelo happens at 156 or 157. Thats just me though.

Historically, Mexican fighters are under a lot more scrutiny from their fans. I don't think he's "lost" any respect from his fans. But talking boxing with some of my uncles in Tijuana this weekend, they were quick to hate on Alvarez-Khan.

Granted, my uncles are way too Mexican for their own good and they only follow Canelo. As such, they're really expected GGG-Canelo to go down after listening to Alvarez' post-fight comments after the Cotto fight. Raza can definitely be demanding.

All that catchweight talk doesn't help much (IMO). This title at stake represents one of boxing's glamour divisions. Requiring a catchweight only cheapens this bout's significance. It's not as if GGG holds any significant physical advantage over Canelo.

I'm not out of line in holding Canelo to a higher standard. As a Mexican fighter it's what's expected of you. Make the fight at 160. Screw the catchweight. If Chavez-Whitaker taught us anything, it's that catchweights can come back and bite you in the ass.

No. I don't think you know how super-fights are made.

[JJRod]

Do you lose respect for Canelo if he doesn't fight GGG in September? We know Canelo has taken tough fights with Mayweather,Trout,Lara when he didn't have to but what's your feeling if he stalls out on the GGG fight?

Mexican fans seem to be the most loyal and passionate fans in the sport so I wanna get you guys and gals opinions.

Canelo has taken on the toughest fights and the guy should be getting respect from anyone not just Mexican fans.
He's gonna fight GGG in September. Until proven wrong, lets not ask hypothetical questions.
