Comments Thread For: Canelo, Golden Boy To Meet Next Week To Discuss Next Opponent

Lil g said he could make 154 for mayweather so what's the problem with 155?

The problem is that Canelo is already heavier than GGG, so asking for a CW doesn't make sense. Wake me up when Canelo makes 154 again.

164 aint a weight-class either, ****-for-brains

164 is the epitome of what the catchweight was invented for, troll. The catchweight was invented for 2 champions from different weight classes to meet in the middle. If there's going to be a CW, this is exactly the scenario it was meant for. 155 is just a BS strategy for Canelo's team. Go back to your bridge, troll...

You really wanna use that approach maxi ? LMAO

Lets say you're right..... you're not, but lets say..... so, Ward ducked Golovkin, because apparently he could make 160..... and Golovkin ducked Canelo, because apparently he could make 154..... is that right?


BTW, Ward stated that the Mayweather topic was a silly twitter beef over Guerrero, he stated that he cannot make 160, and he stated that he never considered or pursued a Mayweather fight.

Canelo is already heavier than GGG so GGG is not willing to come down to 155 for him. 164 was a "meet in the middle" solution for two fighters in different weight classes with a legit size difference. And it wasn't a mandatory fight. Ward made Dawson come down to 168, why wouldn't Ward go down to 160 for GGG? Ward wanted to make unranked Super MW's go up to LHW for him... don't even mention ward here please.

GGG is open to a catchweight fight against Canelo now that he has the belt.

Canelo doesn't want it.

You should educate yourself before trying to act clever.

Ugh... Didn't Loeffler say they would continue negotiations with GB after the trial. That doesn't sound like Canelo doesn't want it. Next time read up a lil on what's going on before you look like a fool again

Canelo fought his last 5 fights at 155. All the other times he fought within the 154 division, he fought at 154 (besides FMJ was at 152 & Hatton at 150). That was truly when Canelo was in the 154 division. He has not been in that division in 3 years. He owned a WBC, WBA & a ring belt before he fought FMJ...& FMJ took those belts from him. Before FMJ, he fought 6 times at 154. If he truly was a 154 fighter, why did he fight 5 times at 155 right after FMJ?...even if you exclude Cotto, that's 4 times he fought at 155. The MW & the jr. MW division is separated by 6 lbs...but Canelo don't want to fight 160 fighters (despite the fact that he hasn't made the 154 limit in 3 years). He continued to campaign at 155 so he could enjoy a weight advantage over all 154 fighters, while not having to take on any 160 fighters for the excuse of, "I"m not a middleweight." That right there is BS because if he truly wasn't a MW, why the heck is he campaigning at 155?!...that's MW. And he made things worse for himself when he decided to PAY the fees (Cotto himself who owned the belt didn't even pay the fees). It means Canelo wanted the belt. Then vacates it when a tough fighter like GGG comes along? It stinks of avoidance.

I agree that being the top ppv draw in the sport affords you all kinds of advantages. Sure. But we must not forget the social media aspect of it now. Because of the age we live in, the social media has a large impact. Case in point: what happened to the numbers for the Pac/Bradley III fight?...I'll tell you: Pac said something ****phobic...which even turned his own people against him. A-side fighters cannot just do anything they want anymore. If Canelo did not want to be in this situation, he should have never paid the fees to acquire the WBC belt...he should have never defended that belt as well. He should have never acquired that belt...& all this, knowing full well who was standing at the end after his fight with Cotto: GGG. Yet, Canelo did it anyway. There's nothing smart about the situation he put himself in.

I don't think you're factoring in the special circumstance GGG was in in regard to Canelo: he held 2 belts, wanted the WBC, & knew that he didn't have to agree to 155 as long as a belt was on the line. And let's not forget that Canelo has not vacated the lineal title yet, either. A belt is still on the line. Like I said, Canelo could have avoided this whole mess by not paying the belt fees. But he did it anyway...then vacated. How else is a boxing fan supposed to take that bit of evidence? Just believe that Canelo really wanted that fight but GBP don't want him in that?...isn't that worse for his product?...wouldn't that affect his future earnings? According to evidence from both FMJ & Pac, you cannot do whatever you want & still earn the same money. You don't say "Mexicans don't f#ck around"...then turn around & f#ck around. If Canelo wants to redeem himself, he should force the GGG fight. Any other bout GBP sets up for him will be considered a duck. And that's the truth.

Actually Alvarez is a quadruple Gee because he and his advisors took advantage of the financial earnings against Khan due to the close endings with All Star. Khan brought good money, "defending the belt" and hyping media that Khan would stand a chance and many people bought it...
Alvarez never cared about Lil'G, at least not now. Who the hell invites Golovkin in the ring?

Ya'll being played with the myth that he vacated because of cowardice. He never had interest at Middleweight. You are the same type of guys that criticized Cotto for not being a Middleweight or belonging at 160 so how do you think GBP and Alvarez take that in? It's an advantage because Alvarez was never a 160 fighter.

When Alvarez and Golovkin do meet at 160, I still have Alvarez winning.

155 in regards to Alvarez is not a catchweight. It's what people call Canelo-weight. A technical catchweight, or the ideal representation for it is two fighters agreeing in what's reasonable from different divisions. Which boxers from 154 would complaim about a pound? Which 160 fighters has Alvarez fought? Cotto?

155 is not a catch for Canelo-weight.

[Eastlos]

The problem is that Canelo is already heavier than GGG, so asking for a CW doesn't make sense. Wake me up when Canelo makes 154 again.

Last I remember Canelo has made 155 the contracted weight with no issues while Lil G comes in at 160 on the scale. That doesn't sound bigger to me if Lil G wants the fight he'll bow to the A side terms just like the greats before him did in order to become the man.

So, it's GGG's fault that Ward killed that fight by signing that HBO contract??? Really?...GGG put the pen in Ward's hand & a gun to his head & forced him to sign and start a new campaign at 175? Give me a break. And Canelo hasn't fought at 154 in 3 years & holds a 160 lineal title & held the WBC 160 title & defended those titles, but he can't fight GGG at 160?...why pay the fees to acquire those belts in the first place? You need to get back to your bridge, troll...

He should have never paid the fees to acquire the belts. No matter how much us boxing fans want to spin it, Canelo put himself in this situation when he acquired those 160 belts. That's why his twitter is getting so much hate. He should have never paid the fees.

For me, sport comes before money. But it's understandable that some would side on Canelo on this if they believe he truly isn't a MW. But I'm of the group that believes he's a MW. Look, he owned the belts, & defended those same 160 belts. But when an actual 160 fighter comes a-knocking, he vacated. Those actions do not correspond with someone who truly wants to be a great fighter & improve their legacy. And I don't think I'll ever get an answer to this question: why pay the fees for the belts?
