Canelo fans, can you explain why he won't fight Golovkin?

[creekrat77]

Because there were no full world titles at 154 for him to vie for. With no real reason to need to be at 154, and the star power to make whatever fight he wants (pretty much), Alvarez has chosen to give himself that extra pound.

Yes, Alvarez does rehydrate to the 170's; at all of 25 years old, that type of boil down is still manageable. (note: Erislandy Lara, a fighter who has been at junior middleweight his entire professional career, walked into the ring at 170 for his fight with Canelo also).

Lastly, Amir Khan fights at 147, and is coming up to 155 to fight Alvarez. We're talking about 8 pounds.

Golovkin dragged up Gabriel Rosado 6 pounds, and nobody had any issue with that.

"No real reason to be at 154"
Yea you're right.

Fighting as a true light middleweight doesn't look manageable when you have to give yourself an extra pound to be able to compete. Erislandy Lara from what we are supposed to believe has pushed heavily and called out Golovkin for a chance to fight him. Lara also will go up to 160 and fight people.

Yea were talking about 8lbs. Khan is already considered a small welterweight fighting at close to his natural weight. Far removed from his best competing weight which would be 140 or 136ish if he was Canelo. Here we have Canelo, a guy who obviously has outgrown 154, and is pulling up smaller guys

Simply not true. Like most of the junk you post here.

Name a middleweight fighter that K2 has talked about fighting.

Canelo, Saunders, Jacobs, Eubank, Quillin back when he was relevant. Still clueless eh. Are you working on it at least? Hard to tell

you've been schooled bro, you asked a question, it was answered now you find a different angle... but its typical from a poster like yourself.

you also forget to mention that the individuals you have mentioned were the first ones to call out GGG (except Mayweather)

you also didn't mention Degale, Ramirez, Froch and Chavez... probably because it doesn't suite your agenda.

Golovkin called out all sorts of names at 168, yet when the 168 king sad he wanted to fight, Golovkin went on national ****ing TV to say that he'd only take that fight at 164, lol.

The WBA will soon mandate that Golovkin fights Daniel Jacobs; the world will soon see how Golovkin and his camp react when he actually has to fight someone.

right and when Golovkin asked the king to fight back in 2013 and the king said not right now that was cool. But when golovkin had plans lined up like Lemiux ppv and Cotto vs. Canelo winner then he would have to accept the Ward's challenge because everyone is Ward's servant.

anyways Daniel Jacobs is the best middleweight next to GGG so that fight will be good and i guarantee you, in fact lets make a bet that GGG will take that fight and if anyone backs out it will be jacobs.

how about that, put your money where your mouth is.

[PeasantCrusha]

Because war Nelo tho.

[Nubia]

No explanation needed really.

Canelo will fight him, but under his terms. So 155 lbs or nothing.

The ball is in Golovkin's court.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

ummmmm

Canelo has never once officially turned down the fight.
