Comments Thread For: Virgil Hunter: Canelo Must Quit Hiding and Fight Golovkin

[FrankieBruno]

LOL okay. You believe the HBO GGG is just a cat playing with mice narrative. You are gonna be in shock when GGG gets outboxed by some Willie Monroe with pop random guy in the future or Canelo I imagine.

I'm not so bold in my take on GGG vs Canelo as you as I feel its an even fight where Canelo could come up short, but its not gonna be a one sided massacre for either guy I feel confident in saying. Hopefully we'll see in September who's right.

I believe Triple G is a sick man who gets enjoyment out of playing with his opponents

I don't watch his fights on HBO, i watch them on Boxnation.

G is the real deal, people need to stop denying him his dues.

Canelo knows G will pulverize him, the fight will not happen.

Alvarez and de la hoya will do anything to avoid the golovkin fight, that much is obvious. I cant belive the **** thats coming out of canelo mouth, golovkin doesnt deserve the fight LOLLLLLL, the ginger catchweight ducker needs a reality check and quick, get out of the middleweight division or make the fight you IDIOT!!!!!

Next he will "accept" the fight, demand a catchweight then walk away, mexicans should disown him, hes a disgrace

[The plunger man]

Classless move by Virgil. Show some grace in defeat. I think Canelo needs to move up or vacate but the in-ring interview is not the place to talk shyt about someone who just murked your guy. Save it for the backstage interviews.



Such seething hate for Ward you can't stop thinking about him.

needs to move up where to exactly.... he is in the same division as golovkin....lets say khan was 161 or 162 for the fight canelo was a good 10lbs above that...his back is huge and his legs are real solid....fight golovkin and defend your title against your mandatory or vacate and go back down to 154....which I think is nigh on impossible for canelo to do btw.
and people do need to these things if its wrong and tell what could be a better way than live with millions watching around the world....I like hunter for that

Boxing is a fading sport, only a Floyd v. Triple or Canelo or a Canelo v. Triple G can really even bring a positive net gain to the sport this year; otherwise, boxing will go an entire year without one major fight. This was not a major fight, and I predict the U.S. PPV sales to be much lower than expected.

...or a Triple G vs Ward. I always wondered why Trip G fans never mention that option.

We all know why triple G fans never mention that fight and instead send his big bro Krusher kov to attempt what he won't

Virgil is right. They took the fight for the challenge and the money against a guy who won't defend his title against Middleweights at Middleweight.
For the sake of the sport and integrity fight GGG, that's what he's getting at and he's right. No more concocted fights against little guys with no power. Virgil loves the sport and he's a fan too. All the fans, all of them feel the same way. Let's get it on! This year! There's no more concocted safe underweight opponents left.

This fight will be like Hops vs Trinidad. The boxing acumen of GGG will be too much for Canelo. I cant even see GGG dropping one single round to Khan.

That was definitely a weird ass post fight interview. It was like some you beat my ass now you gotta fight my daddy type **** loooooool.



I think people are WAYYYY overhyping GGG & WAYYYY underrating Canelo cuz of Canelo doing his BJS impression with fighting GGG (very likely with help of Oscar who didn't even want GGG to fight Lara not that long ago). This will be a competitive fight where Canelo, as always, will have an advantage with judges so any close round is probably going his way. Canelo may very well get lit up, but I think it may very well be that GGG gets lit up. Its a competitive fight.

I think you are right. Now that he's polished his 'faints' to make a fighter commit before he throws a punch.

Plus Alvarez will be fighting a fighter in GGG that he is faster than.

[Eff Pandas]

the fight will not happen.

I'd bet against that all day. It'll for sure happen. At worst its a matter of when.

Ward fans be like "Virgil stop... we're supposed to hate on golovkin,not support him..."

Honestly my first reaction when he was saying that was that I was really surprised he was defending Golovkin.

I guess I assumed he would have some bad feelings towards Golovkin because of the whole GGG/Ward situation.
