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

[BestPR]

What a shame! I always thought that the green belt was the ultimate prize for the Mexican boxers...and this punk doesn't even defend it...this red-head freckled-face charlatan is not a real Mexican, he has no huevos!!

It's in Canelo's interest to get the fight signed ASAP as he's taking a lot of flak to his public image right now.

Definitely.

He may be boxing's cash cow at the moment but his back is certainly to the wall and he's losing respect and credibility by the second.

I love NSB almost all the time. I've absolutely hated NSB the last few days as I watch posters blaming GGG and Wilder for the problems we've seen.

I like clowning GGG as much as anyone. His resume still sucks. That said, Canelo dropping the belt and putting this fight in jeopardy of not happening is shameful. Hopefully, they are actually negotiating for a fight in Sept. but its hard to believe anyone involved.

ODH talked a big game but when it came time to he chose protecting his asset over giving fans the fights they want. Maybe next time fans will know better than to believe a cross dressing coke fiend.

GGG still says he can make 154 for Floyd

he tried to impose a 164 cw on Ward

He's the reason this fight is not happening for trying to nitpick his catchweights

by trying to to do it against a bigger star in Canelo. he blew his chance for a mega fight

Canelo's message to GGG is clear, the fight will be on my terms or you can **** off

Dude, you've convinced me. A MW asking the lineal MW champion and MW belt holder to come in at 160 for a triple belt unification is completely unreasonable. Clearly, GGG who comes in at 170 on fight nights against MW opponents is being unfair to the fighter who comes in at 175+ on fight nights against chinny welterweights.

Canelo just looks like a coward. He dropped his belt and vacates because he was scared of his mandatory. He can insist on a 155 cw all he likes now, but if Golovkin doesn't fight him, he's just going to be remembered as being so scared of Golovkin he vacated.

Not a lineal MW champ. They would not vacate. The lone is dead, only GGG unifying ca reestablish it. GGG v BJS Sept 2016, GGG v Heiland Dec 2016, GGG v Jacobs Mar 2017. Let's go for it.

So I assume that GGG's belts wouldn't be on the line if the fight takes place at a catchweight.

GGG may fight at 154 for that "belt", right?

Do you think Nelo needs that title? I don't even like him. He makes his money without the belt.

if canelo doesn't fight golovkin next and remains at 155lbs there's no way he comes away from this situation with any credibility....he's already alienated so many boxing fans...Mexican,english,american and almost the whole world , no one likes a coward and basically him dragging up a chinny welterweight and nearly decapitating him with a 15lb weight advantage and yet he wont face a fighter his own weight class....that's a coward and a fighter that don't believe in his own ability and you defending is just as bad...world titles make a fighter and tell me who the hell can they drag up from a lower division when there's not even a world title on the line ..nobody that's who and canelo has little options to save face on this other that face golovkin and take your licks...there is no defending this zaroku

I don't like Canelo. I think he needs to fight GGG. But, it is his career, the marketing machine is gonna have a tough time convincing Mexican's like me to like him. I want his youth, and cash. I don't buy his fights, and give him no credit for Kirkland & Khan.
