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

[Pigeons]

Who knew that Sergio Martinez's lust for money was going to make the MW lineage such a joke.

If Canelo isn't careful he's going to end up with fewer fans than Lara when this shameful schit is over with.

His problem is that his team are a bunch of morons and his promoter is a coke-head.

Pretty much what Kafkod said.

Canelo's team is committing career suicide on him. He better wise up.

[Shadoww702]

I do think he should offer 158 as the final extension of the arm, right before walking away from the table. If Alvarez doesn't take it he'll be shamed.

If Canelo doesn't JUMP at that offer I'm DONE supporting him.

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

That's why Cotto vacated the belt before the Canelo fight. Cotto didn't want to pay sanctioning fees, so he said **** 'em! The belt was meaningless to Cotto. He's a Hall-Of-Fame fighter, who people pay to see, and that's all that mattered. Tyson Fury vacated a belt to fight a rematch with Klitschko. Will less people attend, or watch the fight because he vacated the belt? I think not!

He's a 154 pounder who hasn't fought at that weight in 3 yrs. The irony is, there are about 4 fighters at 154 that can potentially beat Canelo such as the charlo Bros, Andrade, j rock Williams and obviously Lara. I doubt those will be high on golden boys list of opponents though. They'd probably opt for a cintron or angulo rematch or maybe they'll call out Danny Garcia or Tim Bradley.

The attendance and PPV numbers from Canelo vs. Khan will tell us if Canelo is committing career suicide. I have a feeling Canelo will be OK.

This is embarrassing...

what about cotto's interview after de geale fight?

"my weight yesterday was 153.6 lbs, do you think i'm a MW? I'm not"

if you aren't why keep the belt, why don't you just move down to 154 lbs and fight canelo there?
