Comments Thread For: Canelo: Golovkin in My Future Plans, Not Sure When Though

[danceswithfire]

People seem to forget that Pac has 9 more wins than Floyd has total fights.

I see that " but Floyd is older tho" argument all the time by the simple minded Floyd f@gs, its funny

How many times has the WBC MW belt been defended at the weight limit in the last 2 years?

Easy to call Canelo a punk for wanting the catchweight. But, he has never weighed in at more than 155 and he also has never fought a full fledged middleweight. Couple this with the fact that the other guy has been running around for years saying he'll fight in 4 weight classes and STILL wants a fight at one pound LESS than what Canelo is asking against the guy that beat Canelo...and Saul's position starts to make at least a little sense.

How is this GGG's problem? If Canelo isn't prepared to defend his belt against middleweights then he should probably drop his middleweight belt. The same way Pacquiao dropped his LMW belt when he knew he was never going to fight above WW again.

Future plans, i.e. If he's still around in 3 years.

Yeah, it makes sense to suppose if he wont defend the belt at the full 160 he should get stripped. But, take into account what I have already said then factor this next in also- the WBC is allowing the fight between him and Khan be for the belt at 155. The winner has 15 days to decide if he wants to fight the mandatory. What is to stop the winner from saying "yes, I want the fight and I will defend at 155...JUST LIKE I DID MY LAST FIGHT. The WBC has already set the precedent. All Canelo has to say is that he is willing to defend. To my knowledge, nothing in writing says that defence cannot be a catchweight.

If you win the MIDDLEWEIGHT title, you should be willing to fight any MIDDLEWEIGHT, period! And if you cant hang with MIDDLEWEIGHTS, give up the damn title and fight fighters you can hang with!!

True. I don't even think the WBC would strip Canelo's belt if GGG doesn't agree to a catchweight. They'd let Canelo keep the belt and fight other people. I don't see why they wouldn't. Canelo is a moneymaker.

What? You think the WBC will operate on principle???? Ha, no way.

Well, there is what one thinks should happen and what is most likely to happen.

I am talking about what is most likely to happen.

And I don't see the WBC choosing against Canelo.

And i don't see a court case working either.

Just my opinion.

Like the one I had right after the Cotto-Canelo fight when I predicted the WBC would find a way not to strip Saul then.

And they wont now either.

Sorry.

Not sure when your testicles will grow Mr Canelo? Newsflash, if they haven't by now they never will. Biggest Fraud in the sport. At least when Floyd lied and came up with excuses there was doubt and you could make a case for him. With Canelo it's just shameless ducking.

It's ridiculous comments like this that make boxers and promoters not give a damn about what hardcore fans want. I mean why would they?

Canelo didn't have the balls to fight Austin Trout, then he did.
He didn't have the balls to fight Lara, then he did.
He fought Mayweather and Cotto, but he's a coward an a fraud according this is guy?
