Comments Thread For: Golden Boy VP: Canelo is 154-Pounder, No 160 For Golovkin

[aboutfkntime]

Hey Oscar, no problem. Just call the WBC and tell them you are turning in Canelo's title tomorrow since he will not fight 160 pound fighters. Problem solved!

It was Gomez, but good point.....

[HughJass]

hahhahaha.Give up the MIDDLEWEIGHT belt then ffs!

How embarrassing from the Mexican

[Redd Foxx]

I'd rather see golovkin tell canelo to **** off,rather than see him bend a knee to his diva demands. Sometimes your self respect is worth more than money.

As someone who left a good job for the same reason, I agree. BUT, that's a lot of scratch... Sometimes you stand up for your pride, and sometimes you play ball because it benefits you more in the long run. I'm critical of a lot of Golovkin's career choices but I honestly wouldn't disrespect Genady for either choice here.

Canelo is 154-Pounder, No 160 For Golovkin

As previously reported, IBO/WBA/IBF middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (34-0, 31KOs) is placing a target on the back of WBC champion Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (46-1-1, 32KOs) and now he's baiting the Mexican superstar to face him.

... OK, OK... I said it many times here: if he's 154, then vacate the titles at 160... it's consistent with that statement...

[Beercules]

I guess it comes down to opponents.

When is the last time he fought a middleweight ?





How many of those opponents were middleweights ?

155 is MW homie.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

who cares about the middleweight belt bro i just want to see ggg in a big fight. canelo has had a few big fights already ggg has not lets quit pretending anyone actually gives a **** who holds which alphabet belt enough with that bs

Judging by all those wanting title fights, everyone cares. Canelo walks into ring far too heavy to demand CW from another MW.

[thack]

So Canelo is actually moving up for this fight too! This whole affair is pathetic , in this 'fight' with ole glass jaw I am now just in hope for a double knockout!!

Khan actually says (sometimes) that the real weight for him is light middleweight , so with Canelo being 'really a light middleweight' this fight is no longer unfair.......just a mismatch.

Oscar is such a twat when he says if GGG should give up weight to defend his middleweight crown but in the same breath admits that Canelo walks in as a light heavyweight...sums the whole situation up......PATHETIC!

Oscar go and put the kettle on!

[HIGHNESS]

This reminds me of Mortal Kombat for some reason lol

[El Malo.]

Haha 3G not getting that payday till 2017 if they get lucky enough. Fck both this dudes

[Travycat]

You just sort of hope they know how ****** they sound when they say things like, "Gennady isn't the first guy to try to goad Canelo into a fight" lol. He has a 160 belt. You fight at 160. It would be like Wlad "goading" Stevenson into a fight. This is like Emanuel Steward saying "David Haye can beat a lot of heavyweights, but he can't beat a super heavyweight in Wladimir". GGG is middle not super welter--as is the title. We've become such a PC p**sy culture that we're even protecting the fighters now!
