Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: I Won't Over-Martinate Canelo-Golovkin, It Will Happen

[turnedup]

Bullshhh..you can't afford to have Canelo lose bad and there is a very very high chance he can and will if he faces Golovkin. I really wish they had won the belt and said "we plan on sticking to 154" and vacating. This here is looking worse and worse by the day. You are fighting an unproven guy at 147 who just moved up 8 pounds to challenge for a middle weight belt he shouldn't have an opportunity to win at all.

Golden Boy is going to turn this marinating process into a rotting process. We're starting to smell the stench already.

What would the weight limit be for the Lemieux fight?
Caneloweight or 160 ?

Should be 160. Whether it will be is another issue. If he wants to fight smaller fighters than he needs to fight them in their weight class.

the fact that the best alternative they could find was AMIR KHAN tells me that the fight is fully ripe right now. there is no better option. it's the best fight in boxing

[skinnystev]

this fight is long past due golovkin has been the mandatory since "maravilla" held the belt canola needs to go to fishnets and say MAKE THE FIGHT

[skinnystev]

lemieux has had trouble making 160 in the recent past no way he go's to canolaweight

Lol at some that think it will happen in a timely manner.

This fight happens no later than 2018 at best.
Canelo also ain't getting strapped

[Deevel916]

It's not difficult and this fight doesn't need much buildup.

If Canelo gets past khan, they go into immediate negotiations for purse split. 70/30 on canelos favor. Canelo can weight in a 155 if he likes and come in the ring at his usual 175, while GGG weighs in up to 160 and enters the ring around 171 like he did in his last fight.

Canelo gets top billing and enters the ring 2nd.

3 months of promotion and this fight is huge!

Oscar is all about making the best fights
