Comments Thread For: Canelo Vacates WBC Title! Says Golovkin Talks Continue

[Code Red]

He's dropping it but told GBP to make the fight. He just doesn't want the WBC involved because of their deadlines. Well as far the fight happens this year, no one would give a **** that he did this.

And he is right, he has fought the guys no one else wanted to fight, and Golovkin is another one on that list

Hope the fight happens for Sept

Dropping the belt is just step 1 to not fighting at all

he says that he invited lil G to the ring to show that he's not afraid and mexican don't **** around. and look. ha ha

no doubt this idea that canelo is scared of ggg is laughable and its boxing fans falling for the K2 narrative. K2 has done great job getting fans on their side and they are obviously trying to use it to their benefit in negotiations the problem is canelo just called their bluff

It seems like you are making your own story line of how the negotiations went, and have come to a conclusion based off your own imagination of what went down. Back to the facts, WBC ordered the GGG fight, Canelo then drops the belt. hmmmmmmmmm doesnt take a genius to figure it out.

[MDPopescu]

Wow. I guess this means GGG is elevated to WBC champ. If I were GGG I'd chase down BJS and try to collect that IBF, then move up.

Golovkin HAS the IBF belt... Saunders is the WBO champ...

Canelo fans defending this are ****ing pathetic.

Step 2 would be Golovkin/K2 not wanting to meet at a cw

Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, tastes like chicken. Go back to fighting little guys until GGG goes up or retires. Knocks out a big light weight and thinks he's a tank!

K2 could make bank in the negotiations if they market this right. Who knows what's really happening behind closed doors?, but perception is reality.
And being the most popular, active Mexican fighter, and instead of defending the belt you just won, you find a cushion between two weight divisions?
This was a bad move by GBP on the chess board.
K2 could turn a red head into a yellow belly real quick if they have the resources.

If the fight doesn't happen he's going to take the majority of the blame.

[RetroSpeed05]

Canelo right now

[Dean_Razorback]

this is the moment for chavez Jr to step up and take the fight with GGG in september. steal the date from canelo and leave him looking like a clown.
