Comments Thread For: Golovkin on Canelo: Show Me Who's Number 1, Who's The Best

[Reloaded]

OK, i'll say it! Canelo is scared because he wants a catch-weight. Oscar was scared because he wanted a catch-weight (Hopkins). Floyd was scared because he wanted a catch-weight (he didn't ask Cotto). Pacquiao was scared because he wanted a catch-weight (Cotto). Cotto was scared because he wanted a catch-weight (Martinez). Oscar, Mayweather, Pacquiao, and Cotto will all be scared little very rich b*tches in the Hall of Fame. Meanwhile GGG is still fighting Dominic Wade tomorrow! He's the best! Lol!

You forgot to add GGG is scared because he wants a CW against Ward .

[doom_specialist]

His team is trying to act like they just want the belt, and could care less about the Canelo fight. However they know that if GGG doesn't fight Canelo, chances are he won't become a superstar on the level of Canelo, Cotto, Mayweather, and Pacquiao. Maybe he (GGG) fights B-Hop @ 168 this fall.

I'd lose respect for him if he fought Hopkins. After that Kovalev drubbing (for me it was Dawson soundly outboxing him) B-Hop doesn't need to be in the ring anymore.

GGG could become a superstar by simply taking legit challenges, and a 50 year old man isn't one of them. There's no one at middleweight that looks remotely close to him in terms of class, so 168 should be the natural next move. Ward isn't there anymore so nothing should be stopping him.

lil g has done nothing but caused problems every since HBO decided to hype him up.
Good thing the old man will be retiring soon.

Yes. It's also a question of who holds the belts when they meet. My money is on GGG and that this fight will happen in late 2017. Canelo will vacate for sure. The excuse for doing so will be hollow and fun.

Get a grip.

Canelo will say..... this has been fun, but I am not a middleweight, cya.

What will be hollow and fun, will be Hypekin's excuse for walking away from that MASSIVE payday to kick rocks while sporting a belt that he didn't earn.

It will just be another lame, underwhelming, accolade..... in the career of Gennady "move along, nothing to see here" Golovkin.

[aboutfkntime]

They will 100% give up pounds. But they're not going to give them up before they get to the negotiating table. They want to get paid for them. Same goes for Canelo.

Team Golovkin totally refused to negotiate on the weight.

[aboutfkntime]

So it's Golovkin moving up or down, nobody coming at his weight??


Not really fair...

" fair " ?

Was it " fair " when Team Golovkin lied to us for 3+ years ?

What happened to that " anyone from 154-168 " bull**** ?

Was the 164lb catchweight demand for Ward..... " fair " ?

Right, now " fair " is important.

[aboutfkntime]

Making 155 would hurt more his body than his pride.

Asking GGG to come down to 155 is just a ridiculous demande.

At least they should say 157, a between 154 and 160...
That's what Hopkins and DH did.

GGG was fighting at 75 Kg /165.4 pounds as an amateur.
If they never tried 154 as a pro or 153/69 Kg as a young amateur, that's for a reason.

Just like Ward probably couldn't make 160 being competitive.

He called out Mayweather at 154..... YESTERDAY !

[aboutfkntime]

I'm not saying GGG has to go to 154, but given the choice for a big fight, do you think those guys would go up to 155 to fight Canelo, or to 160 for GGG? My point is that since GGG has very limited options, and an already weak resume, going to 155 for Canelo makes a lot of sense!

They were willing to drop to 154 for Mayweather, and to 157 for Brook.

Refusing to negotiate with Canelo makes no sense at all.

They clearly want nothing to do with the lil red kid.

It makes A LOT of sense if he feels good at 155.

Does GGG keep his level loosing 5 pounds from his confort weight?

It mades sense for Dawson to fight Ward at 168...
It ruined his career.

Floyd is a 147 fighter, so is Brook, so 154 or 157 are CATCHWEIGHTS between 147 and 160.

Canelo is a 155 fighter, with a 160 green belt, so 155 is not a catchweight, this is CANELOWEIGHT.

I don't know what is so difficult out there to understand.

They clearly don't want to give Canelo ALL the advantages.
