Comments Thread For: Canelo Will Stand Firm on 9/17, No Concern Over Mayweather

[Bronx2245]

No it's Lemuix.

Do you think it will be at 160?

[aboutfkntime]

people forget about all the time it took to make that.

the simple summary is to say that floyd was scared and now it's canelo that is scared.

And yet the reality is...... Pacquiao had NO chance of beating Mayweather, not then, not now, and not EVER!

And EVERY insider knew that..... Arum knew it, Roach knew it, Brad Goodman knew it, Bruce Trampler knew it, HBO knew it, and almost every top fighter/trainer knew it.

They also know that fight would have happened in 2010 had Pac not been juicing

Grow up kid, stop thinking that a professional fighter is "scared", like some schoolkid..... just because you know that YOU would be LMAO

agreed that pac never had a chance in a mayweather fight. any time a poster calls a fighter "scared" i'm all

I keep saying he will face Golovkin believe me he's not scared it's just business at the end of the day and I think Andrade may be in play or whoever wins between the Charlo brothers maybe even J-Rock or Smith too

You have a lot of faith. If Canelo doesn't fight GGG, he isn't going to fight any dangerous 154er or 160er. Why would he risk losing for much less money and still have same outcome to have to rebuild his career.

In fact, losing to GGG would be better than losing to Andrade or Charlo because he'd at least can say he lost to one of the p4p best (whether or not you agree with GGG being on the list, he is).

Talk about fighting smaller guys and yet Kov's is going to lose to a 168 lber...

Hate to say it but it's against David Lemieux...At least it's going to be a MW. And Cinco De Mayo 2017 is GGG.

What were you saying when GGG chose Lemieux as a opponent? He's fighting the best.

Alvarez and dela Hoya will be praying to mixcoatl to keep mayweather from claiming September.

Kov came in at 186 in last fight, and when Ward was a 168 he said he walked around at 180. He was at last a few pounds bigger in last fight, if not more.

Ward hasn't made 168 since Nov. 2013, so he isn't a 168er. In fact, he completed in amatuers at LHW and has often talked about being able to compete at HW. So it's erroneous to claim he is a SMW. He's not.

based on what?

[Scipio2009]

well then he better book GGG because no one else is PPV worthy vs Canelo at this point.

what makes Golovkin even PPV worthy? In case you forgot, Golovkin is a good TV draw, but he's done a **** job of converting that HBO attention into PPV business (his show did 100k PPV buys) or live gate (running the same venue in LA, yet not having the confidence in the draw to stage the full Forum).

How many folks are going to travel in (from Kazakhstan/Germany/or the adopted homebase of Los Angeles) to Las Vegas and buy the $500 or $1000 ticket (on top of whatever other costs to finance the trip/stay) to watch Gennady Golovkin fight?

At this point, i'd believe that Liam Smith would be able to get more folks to travel out to Vegas for him than Golovkin would.

[Scipio2009]

Canelo vs Liam smith for 154lb ....literally after the weigh in ..an amnesty international representative jumps up on stage and stops the fight due to canelos emancipated torso and accuses ODH of locking gingenelo in a box with no food for 3 months ...Canelo is then offered a new leading role in Hollywoods latest blockbuster THE GINGER BOY IN THE YELLOW STRIPED PYJAMAS

^^^ all that drivel, over Alvarez boiling down a single additional pound from the weight he's been comfortably fighting at over the last two years, lol. gtfoh

Only silly casual-fans discuss fight-night weight.

REAL fans understand that the total amount of conditioning and functional muscle-mass that you can take into a fight is determined at the official weigh-in..... rehydration weight, or water-weight, will not help at all in that regard, and can even be detrimental.

But, keep trying ^^
