Comments Thread For: Canelo To Golovkin: Earn Your Shot, Work Your Way Up!

[rasdun]

I'm officially rooting for Khan now. I was supporting Canelo when he was saying the fight has to be at 155. Now he's talking about 'Earn your shot' WTF? He's the mando challenger. He has earned his shot. I can't support Canelo if he doesn't even offer him the fight at 155. This dude is starting to sound scared. smh

it was never 155. Canelo knows the deal. and now he's starting to sound like Floyd did with Manny - a different excuse every day (take the test, solve your Marquez problems first, sign with Mayweather promotions 1st, etc.). but now its come down to 155, work your way up, or Oscar saying the fight needs to marinate. LMAO!

Somehow Floyd vs Garcia would outdraw Canelo vs GGG war. If Peterson, Guerrero, and Herrera gave Garcia tremendous difficulty Herrera winning , and maybe Peterson do you doubt Floyd stays away from left hook uses his foot speed boring UD

Well let me resolve a false narrative in boxing, that Canelo has faced all hard opponents, so he never ducks anyone.

Canelo, Delahoya, Schafer, all knew Canelo was in no risk of being stopped by Trout, Lara, Mayweather, and even Angulo and Kirkland.

So it's easy to take tough fights when all you gotta do is show up and your 4 rounds up already, and lets also be honest that some people till this day dispute he beat Trout and Lara.

With that being said, with GGG there will be no robbery or disputed score cards, Canelo is getting Knocked out!! So there is no chance of him getting a gift decision, it's as simple as that.

How can Canelo fans defend this bu11****?

Canelo and his team are scared of getting in the ring with Golovkin.

[PETUFF]

He already did he is your mandatory coward!!!

[Triple Genius]

Cotto, Martinez, Kid Chocolate, Saunders and now Canelo

A few thing to be said here.

First, people acting like this thread pushed then over the top, or is the reason all the sudden they despise Canelo. No ****ers, that hates been real and strong from you guys for years. Don't front now.

Second, he says a lot more than just what title says. Two paragraphs more. Good patch job by TS for well, controversy sake.

Third, this is the most spineless thing Canelo had said thus far. He gave Lara a shot who accomplished just as little as Golovkin. And I'm not defending this ****** ****. Man up and fight Golovkin, it's the right thing to do. And sooner than later, period.

Did he earn his shot against Mayweather?

I didn't see Lara fight. I don't recall exactly how I scored Trout fight but remember the scores were WAAAY off. That's a good point. I think Canelo has faced good opposition over the past few years, BUT, if he continues to duck GGG, that won't mean anything. If he's a 154 lb champ, fine. but don't call yourself the middleweight champ and make excuse after excuse as to why you won't fight the other best middleweight in the world. If he gets a fight with Pac or a rematch with maywetaher next, then I understand putting off the GGG fight for 6 more months. Otherwise, it's a duck

He did earn it. He is your mandatory you dummy.


You have an obligation to defend your title and it happens to be a unification


Man up. 160 pound title/160 pound opponent .

No excuses
