Quit stalling Golovchicken!
CANELO is clearly the A-Side & the Lineal WBC Diamond Belt Champion , and has a better resume then GGG so Golovkin needs to agree to the terms or get stripped of his interim status. No risk no reward , no guts no glory!

You guys needs to STFU with that Ward non sense.
Ward isn't a 160 pounders.
So now on BS you can duck fighters who aren't in your own division?
If Ward desperately wants to fight GGG, he should go down to 160...just like Dawson did from 175 to 168 in order to face him.
GGG didn't fight Ward at 168 and was smart to do so.
Dude has to clear is own division before moving up to fight a TOP3 P4P fighter.
GGG isn't a big middleweight and will probably struggle once if he reaches 175 even maybe 168 facing elite opponents (not talking about Ramirez or Badou Jack).
Guys in those divisions are at least 6 footers.
Canelo is 155, so he needs to fight people from 154 to 160 OR GO DOWN TO 154.
He's clearly ducking the true middleweights, fighting others blown up welterweights.Comment

So why do they need a catchweight?
You don't have to agree to a catchweight, especially 155 pounds, it's not like if it was a "fair catchweight" like 158 pounds.
5 pounds would probably drain GGG bad.
The guy was fighting at 75 Kg/165 pounds as an amateur.
Canelo should vacate his belt and ask the WBC to create the Caneloweight division at 155, he will his tiny belt in his tiny division from 154 to 155.
Fat Ginger can't do 154 anymore and needs to fully compete in the middleweight division.Comment

April 18, 2016:
Golovkin is considered the most lethal fighter in the middleweight division, a division that has historically been one of the deepest and most competitive in professional boxing. It's routinely stacked with outstanding contenders with the biggest alpha among them holding the title. Golovkin is surely the alpha fighter at 160 today, and if there's a fighter in the division who can match-up with his physicality, I haven't seen or heard of him. The only fighter in the division who slightly excites fans as far as being an opponent for Gennady is Saul "Canelo" Alvarez 46-1-1 (32), who is the lineal champ. And for the past four or five months it's been floated via the media that if Golovkin beats Domenic Wade 18-0 (12) this Saturday night and Alvarez beats Amir Khan 31-3 (19) next month, the two will fight later this year for the undisputed middleweight title -- something I don't think many hold out much hope in happening, but for argument sake, let’s suppose they do meet and Golovkin wins.
Then what?
The sad truth is after Alvarez, there's really not an exceptional middleweight (and I'm not even sure Alvarez is one) around whom one can imagine pushing Golovkin or giving him much of a fight. And that hurts Gennady's chance to make millions of dollars and maybe even worse, it'll be more difficult for him to build a legacy that rivals recent greats the likes of Carlos Monzon, Marvin Hagler and Bernard Hopkins...
Unfortunately, there isn't another middleweight in the world qualified to fight him that's an outstanding fighter, let alone a near great. Monzon, Hagler and Hopkins had the same problem after they cleaned out the division. With the difference being, the big names for those three to fight were welterweights and junior middleweights that moved up to 160. Monzon had great welters the likes of Emile Griffith and Jose Napoles who moved up to fight him. Hagler benefited from Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard all moving up to partake in super-fights with him, as did Hopkins when Oscar De La Hoya and Felix Trinidad packed on a few more pounds to challenge him for the middleweight title.
Golovkin isn't as fortunate. The marque welterweights of today....Manny Pacquiao, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Kell Brook and Timothy Bradley aren't seen as a legitimate threat to GGG who one day, due to his fight altering power, may be seen as a near equal to Monzon, Hagler and Hopkins.....and the current elite welterweights aren't near the fighters Griffith, Napoles, Duran, Hearns, Leonard, De La Hoya and Trinidad were. Only Mayweather offers Golovkin, in terms of stature and ability, what the aforementioned greats did for Monzon, Hagler and Hopkins.

Just another example of why Canelo is so important for GGG, and why if he has to go to 155, it's worth it!Comment
