Comments Thread For: Golden Boy VP: GGG Wants Canelo at 160, Refused Ward at 168!

[mathed]

Eric Gomez, Vice President of Golden Boy Promotions, says IBO/WBA/IBF middleweight champion Genandy 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) is pushing for Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez to face him at the middleweight limit of 160-pounds - but GGG refused to fight Andre Ward at the full super middleweight limit of 168-pounds.

Listen to this dude, lol. Lil g had never done anything at 168, not one thing. Candela has the 160 WBC belt in his possession!! You got the belt then you are a middleweight son! Now quit it with the nonsensical justifications. Either tuck your tail and run away, giving lil g the belt or you honor your obligation as the 160 pound champ and you face him in the ring.

I'm glad Gomez noticed this, it will serve as good ammunition in the public relations war.

He should also bring up the fact that Golovkin was willing to go to 168 for Chavez Jr and Froch but not for Ward.

"Team Golovkin is asking Canelo to move up to another weight class to face him"

OMG I cannot believe GGG and his team are so mean. They are gonna make Canelo give up his "Super Jr Middleweight" belt.

You mean how Ward was willing to drop to 160 for Floyd but not 164 for "lil g"?

You're very special... everyone also here are dismissing Gomez's silly statement while you find it to be "good ammunition".

Such ******ity. I'd have likes to see Ward vs Golovkin as much as the next boxing fan but Golovkin is a middleweight. He'd have to move up in weight to get the fight done; Canela simply has to defend his belt at the limit of their actual weight division.

Can you remember when GBP's pitch was making the fights people want to see? I didn't want to see Canela fight Khan but I would pay to see him fight GGG.

Team Canelo using Ellerbe's trick on GGG now.

They have a ton of ammunition:

1. Willing to fight anyone from 154-168?
2. Will go to 154 for Floyd but not Canelo?
3. Want us to go up to 160 but refused Ward at 168?
4. Your a fighter. We're businessmen. Yet we fought Lara and he's not a big enough name for you?


Boxing sucks. It's no longer as simple as hook, straight, uppercut, feint, slip, roll, parry.

Facts w/ Link:

By fight night, Alvarez weighed 174 pounds on Showtime's scale and Angulo was 170 -- light heavyweights. But Alvarez looked sharp, fast and powerful as he abused Angulo, even though the crowd was not happy with the stoppage and booed throughout Alvarez's postfight in-ring interview.
