Comments Thread For: Abel Sanchez: The Catch-Weight Era is Over at Middleweight!

[SilverMiles]

Whatever you say.

He needs to fcuking go away.

And if you think that cleaning out a division that was already cleaned out several times before GGG even stepped on the throne, is accomplishing greatness, then good for you.

Let him keep winning his belts by default if that's what floats his boat.

All I know is come fall of this year, if he steps in with Jacobs, he's going to be in for a fight.

If he prevails, cong**** to him. And cong**** to all the Dominic Wade's he fights thereafter. Good riddance

I'm pretty sure all the divisions in boxing have been cleaned out several times before. Should we just shut the sport down and forced all fighters to retire?

How did Mayweather create this? Look at roach and Manny, they were all over the place with this catchweight stuff, roach's fighters all fight at cws

"I've set the model of showing fighters how they should conduct their business".

Back to the business of having a true MW champion in the line of Martinez, Pavlik, Taylor, and Hopkins.


Glad to see Golovkin's prepared to move on.

Loeffler said to me he has been instructed by Golovkin to get him 2 more fights this year #boxing

Thanks for keeping us updated!

I guess GGG has the WBC now then to add to his WBA, IBF & IBO belts. Just Billy Joe's WBO belt left and he has completely unified.

Does he get a gold star sticker for that? Nobody cares he beat nobody. All it means is he refused to challenge himself at 154 or 168 where all the better fighters were. He acknowledged how trash this division was over 2 years ago where he begged bigger names outside of 160 to fight him and said he would even go to 154 or 168 to get those big fights against better fighters. Too bad he lied because he's killed fights at both above and below 160 so he could stay at 160 and fight guys like Wade.

Damn!!! GGG must be kicking himself in the @SS that he just didn't over pay that BUM Saunders!!! *** he would have ALL 4 BELTS right now... I know $4 million was WAY too MUCH but then no one could run and hide their belts from him.

[Drunk Punch]

No doubt Canelo's people will be use the inability to secure a fight at a catchweight as the reason to walk away from negotiations with GGG. It us fans that will lose out.

[Scipio2009]

why keep negotiating with Alvarez, a non-middleweight, for a fight that he's already said he won't be taking at middleweight? lol, gtfoh

He had a chance but Saunders wanted $2.5 million more than what Loeffler offered.

Saunders wanted $4 Million

Loerffler offered $1.5 Million same as Lemuix.

Ain't saying he was worth even $1.5 Million but now he has to wait longer for the belt and Saunders probably will lose it before then. Then GGG has to wait even longer.

[CaneloMaidana]

You see the whole blame of catchweight didn't start with Canelo, but prior Fighters like Floyd and queen Cotto!

Floyd started catch weights?
