Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: De La Hoya Can Marinate - And We Can Strip Canelo

[theocdog]

What are the chances of them actually stripping Canelo? I will believe it when I see it. But if they do strip Canelo, then what? The public will still want to see GGG vs Canelo. The way to get these 2 to fight is from public pressure. Not the belts. The belts are useless.

Fraudverez finds a way 2 delay til Jun '17 @,the earliest...he is a disgrace 2 this great sport & Sulaiman is caught w/ **** on his face . ..

Canela will be stripped, she cant dictate the weight

Clearly he can and has. As someone else said, the first rule of the WBC is there are no rules.This is why the belts are useless.

If Canelo Khan does 500k PPVs, expect the WBC to NOT follow through on their "threat". Bumlovkin will have to wait...

Bumlovkin? Come on Nay_Sayer even a great fighter like Roy Jones is saying this guy may be one of the best MW's ever, that is saying something in my book. If he treats Canelo and some of the SMW's that way we will know for sure.

Although you never know, Canelo & Golovkin could end up splitting two fights and then have a 3rd in a rubber match. We can hope right?

I'll believe it when I see it WBC....

I see Canelo and Pac fighting for WBC MW title next. Hefty pay day for the WBC when that bout takes place for sure. If that fight doesn't happen which is unlikely then maybe then they will. Plus the step aside money GGG would get for not fighting and letting Pac/Canelo fight happen would be his biggest payday w/o ever even throwing a punch. I'm sure GGG will be a little more patient then and go fight someone else in the interim.

I'm glad to see this.

Marinating is BS, period.

Canelo has a chance, but a slim one and DLH knows GGG can very well knock him out and the cards won't matter. As good as Khan can be, the fight should be close if it comes down to a decision and Canelo can still get the nod, if he doesn't knock Khan out which is very likely. It's win/win.

But Golovkin, whatever you think of his opposition, has bone crunching power and is dangerous from first bell to last. For a guy like Canelo who doesn't move a lot, this is a big concern.

Either way, take the fight or hand that belt over. I hope the WBC sticks to this.

i have a back forth conversation with them on FB.

A little ugly really.

floyd let the pacquiao fight marinate for 6 years..let oscar get his marinate on, whats the big deal, he wants this matchup to shatter numbers, at this point it wont even crack 1M homes.

... he may "marinate" as long as he wants to, but without that belt... they have a mandatory fight to comply with -- take the fight or give up the belt now... Oscar may come back in 1-2 years and call out GGG.

Have you seen said contract?

It isn't a "contract", it's a WBC ruling (which was made public).
