Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: No Canelo Fight in 2016, Building For 2017

[Real King Kong]

Doesn't sound like anything concrete at all. And mind you, this more than a whole year away. Just about anything can happen in that time.

Yea...like ggg could get old and be half the fighter he is now.

[OctoberRed]

Just read from Dan Rafael, that they've agreed to fight at 160 but Canelo wants to acclimate first. Which makes sense.

verbal deal means nothing

It AMAZES we're FINALLY gonna get the fight the world wants and people are STILL *****in.

Keep HATIN !!!!!

Everyone knew it would be in 2017. Sucks it has to be late 2017 though.

Basically we are going to see Canelo vs Liam Smith in Sept 2016 and Canelo vs Lemieux is May 2017.

Lance pugmire says that Canelo is going down to 154 in September, then gaining weight gradually before ggg in September 2017. If the plan is to go up slowly why the hell is he going down a pound first?

At this point I gotta say it looks like Canelo ducks it next year as well.

No, it's going to be Leumix.

[Raonic]

GGG would be halfway to 36 by then though, while Canelo reaching his physical prime of 27. Hope GGG isn't old enough as it'll rob us of the great fight we could've had right now.

[Motorcity Cobra]

But Loeffler, who promotes Golovkin, stressed there is still no deal.

"It would be great if we had some binding agreement, but we don't," he said. "I did meet with Golden Boy and they want to build the fight and shoot for the fall of 2017. From our side, we're going to continue to try to put together the biggest fights for Gennady. Both sides want to make the [Alvarez-Golovkin] fight, but it is a mischaracterization to say there is a deal."

You've got to be a fool to keep getting outsmarted by Oscar. He's making GGG look like a beggar. smh. GGG running around with his hand out begging for a payday

[Shadoww702]

Alvarez’s camp says he wants to elevate his weight more comfortably before meeting a powerful champion riding a 22-fight knockout streak.

That was the real quote.

Some "Boxing Official" said the anonymous quote of 154. He can't make 154 without doing more damage then good. I hat ""Anonymous" quotes. 99% Bi@tch Gossip...

Most likely Oscar is going to talk Lemuix into a CW. "Elevate" his weight specifically was said... Probably 157-158.

I can see Oscar conning Lemuix into 158!

[Shadoww702]

Still going to be an AWESOME YEAR!!!!

Postol/Crawford
Thurman/Porkchop
