GGG has harsh words for Canelo
Collapse
-
Canelo has fought better competition than GGG P4P Wise (Cotto, Lara, Floyd).Ability to cut weight is a significant factor now. Sure, GGG can make 155 in theory. But Canelo can do it practice. He knows how to do it, how his body reacts, and how to limit the negative side effects.
The weight issue won't prevent this fight from happening through. I am sure of that. But both sides want to get paid for each of those pounds they give up.
he's a good fighter.
But asking for that 155 pounds catchweight is a bytch move.
He sould vacate that green belt.Comment

There is a 160 pound division (middleweight) in which Gennady runs and Canelo currently holds a belt in.
Ward use to fight at 168 (super middleweight), where he was the #1 guy. Now he moved up to 175 (light heavy)Comment

Yes. And what I'm saying is, G walks around 165-168 anyway. Go back to what Mike McCallum said: go up in weight and fight the best. G should have faced Ward at his natural weight rather than trying to get Floyd at a drain weight.
He's going after Canelo because Canelo's champ, I get it. But Canelo isn't going to budge on Caneloweight because he doesn't have to. Meanwhile, Ward's all-too-happy to come back down to G's natural weight (168) and fight him.
The reason that doesn't happen, is that Ward is one of three I can see beating G. And G doesn't want that.Comment

Ward is a SMW/LHW
That's their best weights, period. So...how to make equal concessions for each figher?
164. But Ward declined.Comment

GGG is a millionarie already. With contracts with Apple and Jordan, etc. Do you think he's that desperated? you would be desperated for a 4 millions dollars check, he wouldn't give his ass for it as you would. Of course he wants the fight and the money but if Canela insists on a ****** CW, he will vacate like a coward.Nice way to spin it there but GGG wouldn't be taking money from anybody but his own pocket.
If Canelo vacates who else is there for GGG to fight on PPV for a big payday? Nobody that I can see realistically. GGG is not a draw by himself as evidenced by the Lemieux fight numbers. All he would be doing is costing himself money by paying one more sanctioning fee without a career payday to make up for it.
Face it, GGG and K2 take those step aside fees because they have no choice. Khan is making more than GGG has made in his whole career as the B side in their fight.
In a few years, it will be canelo the one calling GGG out at 160... when GGG is 39 years old and canelo 30.Comment
