Abel Sanchez insists GGG can make 154 for Floyd, but wont for Canelo and explains why

Its obvious, team GGG like everyone else plays the risk-reward ratio like majority of teams.

Some fighters are worth the risk and others are not


that nobody will fight him excuse is a little worn out considering they havent taken every fight offered to them and some fights just fall through


its about $$$ not legacy. If it was about legacy his team would accept the fight at 155, kick Canelito's butt and never have to make anything below 160 again.


wishful thinking

It's just common sense. Canelo has to fight him at 160 or lose his title to GGG so why on earth would GGG agree to go any lower than 160 when he doesn't have to???? The WBC belt Canelo has is what is important to GGG. He wants it and he will be glad to fight for it and equally glad to get it by default. Once GGG has that belt a fight with Canelo is only desirable to GGG if he likes the terms and the money he gets. He no longer needs the Canelo fight. Mayweather is a completely different situation. Mayweather has no obligation or reason to fight GGG at any weight. GGG has to agree to drop to 154 to have even a remote chance of getting a fight with Mayweather. Mayweather refused to go above 152 to fight Canelo so it's very unlikely he would ever agree to fight GGG at 154 but that is as low as GGG can go. Not only would a fight with Mayweather make GGG lots of money but a win over Mayweather would be a very big deal for his career and his legacy.

Dude, Canelo is middleweight champion and Golovkin is mandatory. It's very simple. He's not Floyd Mayweather (who fights at 147-154). Floyd Mayweather is the greatest in this era and obviously it would be a very special opportunity so if Golovkin has to kill himself to make 154, not many people would pass that opportunity. Canelo is fighting at middleweight, is the middleweight champion and has a mandatory due in Golovkin. It's just basic common sense. At worst, make it at 158 pounds. Absolutely no need for a mandatory to have to go to down to 155 it's absolutely absurd and you know it.

You don't make a MW legacy at 155. In any case that bluff is off the table, the latest from Canelo team is "some day, down the line"

He doesn't/hasn't needed to. Canelo has the WBC title because Lil G allowed him to have it. Go cry about Lil G wanting money instead of the title after claiming the titles are his main goal.

He'd rather win it in the ring, and Canelo said he'd be ready by Sept. But that's before he was exposed for a scared duck

[West Coast Bias]

It's very simple. Is anyone a fan of "caneloweight"? No, but in boxing the A-Side always dictates terms. Floyd went from 147 to 154 for his money fight. If he didn't, maybe he never becomes "Money Mayweather". To get the belt AND put the biggest name on your resume, GGG is going to have to bend over to Canelo. Plain and simple. Then maybe he becomes the biggest name and PPV sell in boxing.

It's been known to everyone that Canelo/Cotto weren't going to fight him at 160, you think Lil G didn't know this? He just wanted the money for doing nothing, instead of the title.
