Comments Thread For: WBC Formally Orders Canelo-Golovkin With 15-Day Deadline

He actually fought up to Super Middleweight... vs RJJ is I remember.

And Camacho, once a junior lightweight fought welterweights and never once demanded a catchweight. Those were the days when we had serious ATG's like Camacho, Duran, Arguello, Benitez, and a whole bunch more.

**** it, I changed my mind: To K2:



ACCEPT ANY TERMS. 155, 154, hell 153. Do what you gotta do. BEND the *** over and kneel and accept ANYTHING from Canelo. Open scoring, cartoon characters as judges, etc. JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN. This is your absolute one and only chance.... ACCEPT.

I was joking, imo this fight should be 70-30 at 160, or 5% for every pound ggg goes down..

That's PERFECT!!! And give GGG the option of MONEY or WEIGHT!!!

[stefl14]

he shouldnt have to fight lower than 160 since hes mando, true.. BUT he gains so much from beating canelo hed be an idiot to turn down 157 or 158

That's true, but to me it's been an avoidance tactic from Canelo. So if he does fight him and therefore is not avoiding I don't see why he'd try to force 157 since it hurts him just as much if not more than GGG rehydrating all that way.

Good thing former lightweights like Duran had the balls to fight middleweights and even higher and former featherweights like Arguello had the balls to fight junior welterweights and even Vinnie Pazienza came from lightweight to fight middleweights. Guess it takes a special pair of balls for a middleweight champion to fight a 160 pound fighter!

Time for GBP and canelo to put their money where their mouth is.

[HanzGruber]

What the hell are people talking about when they say 157 etc is an acceptable compromise. The only acceptable weight is 160. First of all, Canelo is the champion at middle and therefore should fight at middle. Second of all, it's ****** because Canelo if anything comes in a little heavier on fight nigth than GGG.

Finally

Now that the wbc stepped up hopefully an agreement could be reached on weight maybe 158 canelo will not fight at 160 but will claim the 160 title lol

[The Big Dunn]

GGG going from the $2 mil he made for Lemuiex and Wade to a guaranteed $5 mil plus ppv revenue seems fair. a reasonable split of the ppv is 75/25 or 70/30 given Canelo's worst PPV has doubled GGG's only one (using 150k and not 97k).

Get the fight signed!

So it's going to happen. Just when everyone thought it won't happen this year.

Biggest fight of 2016 and I'm looking forward to it.

HBO wins again!
