Comments Thread For: WBA President Gives His Stance on Canelo vs. Golovkin

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It didn't take long for news of Saul Canelo' Alvarez (47-1-1, 33KOs) vacating his World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight crown to make the rounds. The move made by the 25-year old superstar from Mexico has dominated discussion on social media, while further fueling speculation as to whether or not a dream fight with Gennady Golovkin will come to fruition.

OMG there would be a revolt against GGG if he had to fight Blanco next b/c Jacobs was busy...

How the HELL is Blanco rated soo high?? He only has like 12 fight TOTAL!

And Jacobs is fighting in July.

this looks problematic - WBC will probably feel sour about Canelo relinquishing and may order GGG to fight his new mandatory (who is that ?) and WBA may order GGG to fight Blanco - I hope I am wrong. Just need the IBF to chime in too.

Why isn't Jacobs being mandated to fight Blanco if the WBA wants to put Blanco on a pedestal?

I don't think the WBA will order GGG-Blanco. I believe they would only do that when all options have gone dry, i.e. Canelo fight and Jacobs fight falling through. Because K2 would pursue BJS and the WBA would be more than happy to take a slice out of that. Then potentially that fight get ordered, and who knows if GG fights Saunders instead by then Jacobs maybe ready for the fight.... its all speculation so take it with a grain of salt.

Well having 4 major belts and wanting to keep them means fighting a mandatory every fight. Unless all belts have the same guy as their mandatory which now days is unheard of. While ******* like Wilder have one belt there for only one Mando a year. Alot of bums in-between but not ggg, he has to fight a real fighter Everytime he fights and then bone heads say he doesn't fight anybody while at the same time saying Wilder is such a great champion for beating non ranked BUMS like Molina. I rest on your face

The WBA will get percentage of the Canelo vs GGG fight why would they interfere with the fight.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I see Jacobs fighting blanco on some Pbc card.. Ggg will fight lee, Saunders or Eubanks..

Jacobs vs Ggg will be enforced early next year

Canelo will keep bringing undersized guys to 155

[285Kid]

Waste of time for GGG he doesn't get to keep those belts, but the WBO belt he can keep if he wins

Blanco went into WBA eliminators in just his 10th fight. Bivol is fighting in Moscow for the same belt at 175 in just his 7th fight.
