    Triple G Is A 4 To 1 Favorite Over Canelo! Why Should They Fight

    At 160lbs? Further proof GGG only fights as betting favorite...Canelo never fought at 160 it's fair to ask for catchweight...GGG has the WBC belt now what?...Saunders, Jacobs? then who?...mandatories with laughable rankings?...lol...

      GGG doesn't have any immediate mandatories to worry about, other than Jacobs IF the WBA actually enforces it. Jacobs has a fight scheduled July 30th according to Dan Rafael.

      I'm sure Golovkin would have done a 157/158 catchweight with Canelo if push came to shove, but sadly Canelo chose to drop the belt entirely which is a clear indication they have no desire to fight Golovkin next.

      Saunders is best option. If Lara wins/looks somewhat decent tonight he wouldn't be bad opponent. Not desirable but he's a name and he gives Golovkin an opportunity to "one up" Canelo so to speak if he can beat him more convincingly, although maybe that would just make Canelo run away even further.

          If it's about fighting what does a belt matter? Canelo gave WBC there pacifier so they could stop crying...now it's on GGG to come to the table and fight at an agreed catchweight for a mega fight...

            Golovkin mine as well just retire then, he's gonna be like a 3-1 favorite over anyone he fights unless it's Ward or Kovalev....

              If you can't make jr middleweight, as seen by him missing weight, then what are you?

              Using this logic, Floyd shouldn't have fought anyone later in his career. He was a ridiculous favourite over them all, including Manny. Other fighters should have the guts to try beat the middleweight champion.

              If Canelo goes back to 154 and disproves the above though, thats fair. The fight becomes irrelevant if Canelo leaves the division, and drops the lineal and GBP titles which Golovkin should snap up

                  Are we even sure Triple G is bigger than Canelo? Not a true Middleweight my ****.

                  Golovkin has two inches in height on him. Canelo is thicker with the longer reach. Canelo hasn't fought at 154 in over two years. The guy was fighting at 155 before he even thought about fighting for a middleweight title.

                    If you can't make jr middleweight or middleweight as seen by him, then what are you? I'll answer for you...you are a catchweight fighter...just like ggg is willing to fight floyd at 154 which is a pound less than 155 where canelo fights at...if you look closely at this point, you'll see ggg is the real duck...
