Canelo is a chicken or not??

[boliodogs]

I think he is avoiding a fight with GGG. That makes him exactly as much a chicken as Martinez, Cotto, Jacobs, Quillen and Saunders who all avoided or are currently avoiding a fight with GGG. Canelo is no more of a chicken and no less of a chicken than they are. All of them would benefit greatly from a win over GGG but they are all afraid of losing and getting KOed. Ducking GGG is ducking GGG. Don't single out Canelo only.

Chicken, no excusing it.

He is massive for his own weight division (155lbs)
He'd make 160 with sheer ease he just is afraid of facing guys who he won't have a massive advantage over.

All there is too it. Nothing else need be said.

He even gave up his belt just so he could have an excuse to demand the weight cut. He actually surrendered a belt to his number one challenge JUST so he can attempt to save face on emphasising the weight cut. How is that not fear of facing something real...

Saul Alvarez is a manufactured 'star', a by-product of the fascination that this generation has with the business side of things.

I think he personally is not scared of ggg, but his team is, *****less. Thing is boxing is a business, not a sport, and his team will make a whole lot more money by matching canelo with tomato cans and winning easy fights than by getting mauled by ggg. Sad but true.

Canelo’s vacancy of the title has been accepted by the WBC and has informed Golovkin that he is now the new middleweight champion.

Canelo is also saying that he has never ducked from big fights but he will face GGG on his own terms.

Canelo's not a chicken; with no outside body able to dictate anything to him, Canelo can stage fights at whatever weight he's most comfortable at (and pay his opponent what he feels comfortable needing to pay).

Golovkin can get the work; it's just likely going to have to be at/near 155lbs and for a 15/85 (+ German TV rights) purse share.

take it or leave it

And the fans, by refusing to pay for these mismatches, will drive his numbers so low that the cokewhore will be forced to make the fight. But, by the time that happens, GGG will hold all the belts, be p4p#1 and be the "a-side", so he'll take a beating and a lower cut of the revenue.

[TBE vs GGG]

A red headed gallina

[boxinghead530]

Undefeated guys never stopped and each and every time GGG made them look like crap!

See If GGG was down at 154 and he fought everyone Canelo did he'd one beat them the same way as he has beat the guys at 160 and two you'd be telling me
"have you seen who his mandatories were? SMDH"
This is a vicious cycle, someone who can't appreciate how good someone is and how bad he makes people look.

You all need to take your tinted glasses off, just because Canelo struggles with guys like Trout and Cotto it doesn't make Trout and Cotto good opponents absolutely not by your standard because we know GGG would run through those type of guys with ease.

Dude I love GGG but I'm not a guy who is just going to sit back and just accept just regular mandatory style fight from him. Plus it ain't like Canelo couldn't have beaten GGG opponents, I'm not so certain about saying that about GGG when it comes to the guys Canelo has fought. Look I can see and recognize how good GGG is, so with that I want him to fight the best out there everytime.

I hate fanboying any fighter because then it clouds your judgement on him and his opponentents. I've said it many times on here, when I like a fighter I'm more harder on them and expect much more out of them and GGG is a fighter I like. He has fought some decent ok fighters and I know some fighters are ducking him but he needs to make some consessions if he wants to get the fighters ducking him to fight him.

Pretty much everyone else is thinking that's what he is up to and we also know he is very big for his 155lbs weight division.

I just don't get how people can salute this type of behaviour it's embarrassing.
