That was a rhetorical question. It's a pyrrhic victory. If one contradicts himself, then all contradict themselves. You can't see it one way & not acknowledge the other side of the coin...& sometimes the coin as a whole. See, when Canelo vacated his title, it wasn't because he didn't want to be bound by a deadline...it was because he wants to stall/prevent the GGG fight from happening right now...& when I say he, I mean GBP & his entire team (not necessarily him). You think the boxing public wouldn't figure out that he could have easily requested, & then probably granted an extension on the deadline? Casual fans will remember how Canelo called GGG into the ring & said what he said, like he was all-in on making the fight. Did you not see his twitter page following the vacating of the title?...did you see how many Mexicans were insulting him? They're not going to give Canelo any slack because the Mexicans are boxing fans...they know what the title meant...& they know what 155 means. Canelo is staring a pyrrhic victory in the face: not fight GGG & get hated or perhaps lose his ppv power, or fight GGG & perhaps take a beating/KO. Most boxing fans know exactly what kinds of excuses have come out of the mouths of all the boxers who are staring a GGG fight in the face & do all they can to duck it: "I want to be paid 6mil & I want the fight in the UK", "I want the Golovkin fight after I've unified the UK titles", "I'm moving up to super middleweight", "I'm not even a middleweight, I'm a jr middleweight".... You never seen such excuses. In the midst of that history, what does Canelo do in preparation for the GGG fight? Vacate. How else is a boxing fan supposed to interpret that?...that Canelo really was afraid to fight GGG at 160?...or that he can't force GGG to go to 155?...what did we learn from that? And if you say Canelo wasn't ready to fight at the full 160?...my response will be, Amir Khan...he chose Amir Khan as the fight to prepare him for GGG. I remember the day the Amir Khan fight was announced...everyone was in shock (most thought it was a mismatch from the beginning). So, you tell me...how is a boxing fan so supposed to interpret all of that history in accordance with what Canelo has been doing? That he's trying to duck GGG?
I added the troll so that he knows that it was a rhetorical question.
