    So how did Canelo earn a Middle weight title and make a defense without fighting a middle weight?

    This is a duck and you can try to spin this however way you like. But don't say you are a fan of boxing while defending this garbage. Canelo loses and the fans lose. GGG's legend grows without even fighting. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

      So I'm guessing your answer to my question is zero then.

        He earned his belts by beating the opponents in front of him to earn interim champ status. It's not his fault the regular champs decided to give up their belts quietly instead of getting an ass whooping and losing the belts regardless. There is no scenario where the duckers look better than Golovkin.

          He earned them all. He scared the **** out of Canelo to the point that he gave him the belt. I'd say his reputation earned him the belt. ****** people like you are looking at this the wrong way. You crucify golovkin because people are handing him belts but say nothing about the cowards handing them over to him. I guess pu$$ies stick together.

            Golovkin isn't looking so good. He's about three years from retirement and hasn't fought anyone.

              You WISH he retires in 3 years. This guy could fight till he's 40 easy. His fights last an average of 3 rounds and he takes no damage. Canelo's best wins are trout and lara, GGG beats both inside 5. Which welterweight will the great Canelo fight next?

                Golovkin can't KO Lara in 5

                  Yep. An A-side not allowed to make their own weight division and control everything is detrimental to the sport.

                    No s*it. Lara would have a good chance of beating Golovkin. By far that would be golovkins best opponent. The haters who say Lara beat Canelo would say Golovkin won if Golovkin vs Lara played out the same way punch by punch.

                      I don't see how vacating is the right choice. Canelo didn't meet sales expectations in the Khan fight. Now he vacates and might take on another terrible opponent in September. I think that is just going to alienate fans even more.

                      I think he damaged his brand considerably. He may get a bigger split now that he vacated but I think that decision will likely shrink the pie considerably because people see Cwhat Canelo and ODH did and are appalled by it.

                      Seeing GGG win the title on a PPV was a big incentive for alot of people to purchase the fight. Most already think he is the best MW in the world. This act only confirms that.

                      I dont see how doing this makes the fight more interesting or bigger. Maybe time will prove me wrong.
