Comments Thread For: Canelo Explains Why He Won't Budge on The Weight For Golovkin

Easy, it's called bitchmade. Candela is a scurred punk biatch.

[REYESdelBOXEO]

GGG is such a coward hypejob. First he calls everyone out from 154-168 then ducks all the best fighters and only fights bums, that's why his career has gone no where. He's simply to scared to take risks and challenge himself. Back to his fights not even being televised for being such a scared lil girly man. That's the life of a scared ducking pampered protected diva hypejob.

What a coward. As if fighting Khan wasn't bad enough.

[UNBIASED BOXING]

The way I see it, here's the possible fights at 160 breakdown:

Possible fights:
GGG vs Chris Eubank Jr.
GGG vs Andy Lee
GGG vs Peter Quillin (possible now that Quillin has lost?)
GGG vs Daniel Jacobs
GGG vs Tureano Johnson (should happen eventually)


May be too soon for these upcoming talents:
GGG vs Ryota Murata
GGG vs Ievgen Khytrov
GGG vs Arif Magomedov


Probably not going to happen:
GGG vs Billy Joe Saunders
GGG vs Canelo

he weighs more than ggg in the 30 day weigh ins. hes just draining himself to prevent a ko loss. nothing more. its the reason he barely throws any punches. he wants ggg to be as weak as him that way its a more fair fight. a terrible fight but oh well.

I see it like this. Canelo does deserve to have advantages. He is the A side. He should get a 70/30 split of the purse. It stops there however.

When you got 2 middleweights fighting for the Middleweight title, the idea of a catchweight is preposterous. It is not doing anything to equalize the playing field, and instead Canelo is gearing it to harm another fighter. That is not what catchweights are supposed to be for. It is supposed to be for 2 guys from different weight classes splitting the difference.

no perfect example of me understanding reality...i cant help that canelo is stuntin on him...ggg was trying to stunt on ward as well. in this game u have to take your lumps..this is GGG's lump...canelo just has too many fights that people will pay for whereas ggg just has one...
not saying i'll pay for the canelo fights..but i know people who will
if he fights andrade, lara, charlo, thruman, brook, porter, bradley
I'M PAYING...I LIKE THOSE FIGHTS I'D BUY GGG VS CANELO AS WELL

I'd pay for Lara, Charlo and Thurman.

That's just it. If you're too small, you give up the belt and wait till you fill out.

Canelos got a little credibility problem there though, cause unlike most CW abusers he's not too small. And none of those midgets insisted on max CW either.

GGG fights 3-4 times per year; wants the best opposition at 160 lbs, and is one of the best in the game. Also, he has said he'd fight out of his weight class for big money fights like Mayweather at 154 or Chavez at 168, which is understandable.

If you can't support a fighter like that, then I don't know what type of fighter you're looking to support

A fighter who is a man of his word, and who doesn't lie to his fans.

One who is prepared to do whatever he has to do to make a mega-fight.

And wow, I didn't think that referring to Gennady as Hypekin, and calling him a liar and a hypocrite, would make you mad enough to redK me

What does calling Pac an over-rated steroid cheat make you do ?

[aboutfkntime]

GGG doesn't say much at all dude. He is right to insist that if three of the 160 titles will be up for grabs, it be at 160. Canelo will just be another can after ggg is done with him anyways.

If GGG sucks so bad, wtf is canelo so afraid of.

You make crap up. Direll gave him fits, did you watch the fight, I dont think ggg was down once, and it was a long time ago. GGG is not the same fighter. And at that time, Ward was fighting as a 178 pounder. Ward calling out ggg isnt that beast anyways. You have to go to LHW to find someone who can challenge GGG.

For Canelo, you have to go to 147 to find mismatches. Kirkland is the only guy above 147 Canelo has KO'd, and he was half dead.

Then why was he too chicken to fight Ward at 168 ?
