Comments Thread For: Garcia: If Golovkin Will Face Floyd at 154, Then Face Canelo at 155

[b00g13man]

Couldn't agree more. He'll get a better percentage split fighting Canelo than he will Floyd. He's highly unlikely to make more money in the end vs Floyd.

Mayweather is a 147 pounders, and not a big one, so it makes more sense to me and I give GGG a bigger shot.

Depending on how he can be competitive at 154 and we'll probably never know.

If Golovkin is not 100%, he loses to Mayweather.

The point is not about the opponent, it is about the weight.

Immediately following the Lemieux fight, Team Golovkin stated that they can beat anyone at 154.

So can Golovkin make 154, or not ?

Because, if Team Golovkin are full-of-****, then GGG loses to both.

If they are not full-of-****, then it looks like GGG is avoiding Canelo.

You can't have it both ways.

sadly there is not a rule against CWs on title fights, if both fighters agree the WBC will sanction the fight...

Why agree to it? Canelo is either getting stripped and called a coward or fighting GGG at 160 like a normal ****ing middleweight. Everyone is obsessed with money and fame in this day and age it's ******ed, dream > money

Fighters sign the contracts. The contract is the contract. They know Arum's and Top Rank's history and that doesn't keep them from signing with them. At that point, either fight it out or buy it out but you don't sit out two years.

So, you admit that the contract was likely dodgy..... right ?

They said a lot of things they never did, I will just add this to the list.

What it comes down to is risk/reward, and it appears they don't want nothing to do with Canelo at 155.

Just a point regarding this.....
" 155 isn't a catchweight, it's Caneloweight ".

So, when considering Mayweather, a catchweight is acceptable..... but not a HIGHER catchweight, simply because of the opponent..... not sure if I can swing with that one...... if Golovkin can make 154, then he can make 154.

That is kinda like Golovkin fighting Froch at 168, but then demanding 164 for Ward..... which was basically Golovkin-weight.

Also, to Canelo..... 160 is Golovkin-weight.

If Golovkin can make 154 and be healthy, then whats the problem ?

If he can't make 154 and be healthy..... then he sure as hell wasn't gonna beat Mayweather.

He probably can't make 154 healthy.

He wanted to make 154 for a guy who is 147.

Doesn't mean he has to make 155 for a guy who is 155, should ask 157 or 158.

That's pretty much easy to understand.

1) to make a mega-fight
2) to earn your biggest payday BY FAR
3) to gain some desperately needed exposure
4) to get the critics of his back


Do you understand what fighters actually do ?

you have to respect gggs decision if he doesnt agree, he doesnt have to, but again lets not act like the wbc is the one preventing this fight from happening at a CW...

Weak argument, B HOP is B HOP, GGG is GGG.

B HOP is ranked top 5 in a division at 50 years old, doesn't mean, others fighters should/can do that.

And Canelo has been fighting at 155 his last 4 fights, this farce needs to end ASAP for the sake of boxing.
This guy needs pick a division, 154 or 160.

I think you're too invested in belts and divisions, when you need to be invested in money! B-hop did it for the money. Oscar did it for the money. Cotto did it for the money. Canelo did it for the money. Your family can't eat belts!

the most important

5) to go from network fighter to ppv fighter...

lets not act like GGG and his team dont want that...

the biggest prize on this fight is not what you get for fighting canelo, is what you get if you beat canelo, he wont get anything close even if he manages to get all the titles(including the lineal)...

It's about the weight and the opponent.
Oscar agreed to 155 for Pacquiao, wouldn't have for another fighter.



So your point is GGG ducking Nelo at 155, I get it.

I think Nelo is ducking him at 160, we don't agree end of

I'm not Golovkin's promoter or lawyer, he asked ward a 164 CW, that's full of shlt IMO (fight him at 168 or stay at 160), but it's better than asking a 161 CW, basically what Nelo is doing with his 155 CW demand.


Boxing is full of it by now, and you guys are actually backing those bltch/DIVA's moves.

I just can't believe it.

F@ck Ginger and his 155 CW.
