All Canelo has to do is replace the 154 with 160 and it's the same thing.
From your link.....
" so we could make the fight, I said, 'If anything, I'll give up two pounds. I'll go up to 152. I agreed to that "

Canelo once said that he would NOT go down to 154 to fight Mayweather. Motnhs later, he did go down. Just pointing out what he's forcing GGG to do, he was completely against when it was forced on him.
I've been on record for saying I think GGG-Canelo gets made at a CW of 157-159 instead of 155, just like how Canelo-Mayweather was on 152 instead of 147/150 (like Mayweather originally demanded).
Where's the problem?

Despite the fact that he is happy to fight Brook at 157, despite the fact that he was willing to fight Mayweather at 154, and despite the fact that he has requested a catchweight previously and then justified that request by stating that he is the A-side.
If you are correct, then no problem..... but they were ordered to fight immediately after Cotto/Canelo and yet the fight did not happen because Golovkin refused to negotiate on the weight.

No, I don't remember you saying that, you said.....

Besides, how is that relevant ?
Golovkin sold 150k, wherever..... and Canelo sold 2.2mil, wherever.
2.2mil > 250k

And not sure what you are talking about there considering DLH has said that the fight needs time to marinate (he outright said 2017), so not sure why you are acting like the reason the fight hasn't happened is because of GGG alone.Last edited by Raonic; 03-16-2016, 09:43 PM.
