Fear mad GB and Canelo run from GGG but it was the best thing to happen because GGG was gonna destroy him !!

I also noticed that Ward didn't start shlt talk until he move up to keep from being destroyed by GGG!!

It would be funeral processions for the little rabbitweather

Anybody for the next two or three years gets the chop in the ring by GGG.

Fleeting prime has a way of ruling a gooooodddddd thang

I love to watch Canelo fight. The more often he fights the better I like it. If he fights again in December that's 3 fights in one year. Most top fighters only fight twice a year these days. I miss the days when they used to fight 4 times a year.

Ya and those 3 fights are agains a chinny welterwight, Beefy smith, and a third fighter who all we know is that he is not deemed wothy enough for ppv like khan and smith are, so probably salka.

He is no more of a coward than Martinez, Cotto, Quillin, Saunders and so many other good middleweights who refused to fight GGG. Why single Canelo out unless you already disliked him before he turned down GGG? Canelo will continue to be one of the highest paid boxers in the world. He is a brave, exciting fighter who is challenging for a world title. If you really believe he is a coward I respectfully disagree with you.
I never buy pay for views. I get all the boxing channels and watch the pay for views for free a week later. It's not worth $50 or more to me to watch a fight live that I can watch for free in 7 days.

I enjoyed watching him splat Khan and I will enjoy watching him KO Smith and whoever he fights in the third fight. Hell, you clearly dislike him and probably have disliked him for years. Just don't watch him then. I never pay for anybody's fights. I watch the same fight for free a week later. He has already fought Lara, Trout and Cotto. Those are good wins and they are hardly Salka type opponents. You already have him fighting a bum in December. No matter who Canelo fights you will trash him and his opponents.

HBO? Sports Spectacular? How low can he go?

I would say it's potentially a bad thing for two reasons:
1 - He will likely be fighting at a catchweight again. Whatever middleweight he chooses to fight will likely be out of sorts from dehydration and their struggle to make 156lbs, or whatever silly weight Canelo chooses.

2 - Despite not being on ppv, he will still want a hefty paycheck. That means HBO will be using a substantial amount of money, from a budget that has already been cut. This will translate to great fights that should be showcased on HBO being forced to PPV. Much like what happened with Golovkin-Lemieux and Postol-Crawford.

I would imagine most boxing fans would rather see several great fights on HBO and just let Canelo continue fighting his mismatches on ppv. That's how I feel, anyway.

You're right.

Also, the way they're are already talking regular HBO again shows they know Canelo is hurting and it's not looking up at all.

I think HBO will soon realizes Canelo is jacked as a Floyd/Manny level superstar.

He is gonna to risk losing them money or at least making it very little. They didn't realize the Khan numbers and I bet it's low for Canelo. 350k. That is crap considering he's supposed to be next Floyd and yes on what, his like 8th ppv, like three major ones.

The way the media and fans crapped on him for vacating, ducking GGG, and now fighting Smith, I'll be surprised if this next fight does as well as Khan.

They know it too. That's why they're putting it out there he's going on regular HBO after Smith.

They don't want fans to think Canelo/Smith bombed so bad to force it to stop ppv.

He is literally challenging the weakest champion he could find, while ducking the fight everyone wants and he said he instructed his team to give us.

There are many reasons Canelo is to blame: brave my azz! So brave he called GGG into the ring and then ducked him hoping GGG gets old.

Difference between Canelo and Martinez, etc:

Because Canelo is only one who led fans to believe he would actually fight him.

Canelo called him into the ring.

Canelo claimed he was hyped and he would beat GGG.

Canelo is the one who claims he's different than Floyd, but then cites Floyds actions as reason to duck.

And De La Ahoya wrote a letter in playboy about Floyd only to turn around less than a year later and make the same kinds of choices with Canelo that he accused Floyd of making.

And it's a verbal agreement, they won't fight in Fall of 2017 if GGG looks as good as he does now in 18 months.

It'll be Liam Smith, then Lemiuex then WBO title holder.
