Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: GGG Talks Didn't Go Far, We Got Best Champ at 154!

What if Canelo decides he wants to capture all the belts at jm before he moves up to middleweight? The hypocrites will go crazy

I'd love it if he decided to do that. Canelo vs Charlos, J-Rock, Andrade, and even Lubinson down the line are all great fights. I think 154 is one of the best divisions currently. However fighting Khan and Beefy isn't exactly screaming "I want competition". Let's not forget, boxing is a what have you done for me lately sport, so his past record of taking on all comers starts to wear off after a while.

He wasn't ever going to make that fight and he knows it. I'm fine with it not being made, I am fine with Golovkin getting the belt he wanted in the end, what I don't appreciate is the attempts to rewrite history. If Canelo hadn't invited the guy into the ring and popped all that shhh this would be old news by now. Instead he flapped his gums and then handed off the belt, should've done that shhh with more respect and dignity.

maybe you aren't up with the current play HURT ?

great post btw.....

but yea, the current situation..... has Golovkin fans denying that weight was an issue

yup, I **** you not..... it is happening LMAO

Despite the fact that Canelo is on record for demanding 155, and despite the fact that Team Bull**** are on record insisting upon 160.

Isn't this a special place.

It's almost as if this never happened

lubinson?? the charlos??? lol, the only good guys on your list are julian williams and andrade, and the only guy who has a chance is andrade. don't hype up fighters because they're black.
forgot to add, ericson lubin is never going to be any good.

Very true. They keep trying to push Canelo as "the face of boxing" and it really isn't catching on at all.

If canelo isnt a ppvattraction then who is? Literally the big fight left is ggg-canelo. After that would else would be left for the casuals to get exited for?

I don't have a problem with Alvarez fighting at 154. What does bother me is the fact that Oscar de la Hoya has been feeding fans bulls...t and trying to convince us it is filet mignon.

de la hoya and canelo have no shame

[thack]

I'll bet they didn't go far, Oscars a snake.

[Madison Boxing]

almost get the impression that de la hoya and canelo think theyve done something really clever and commendable by ducking him, 'talks didnt go that far' oh well done, do you deserve a pat on the back for not really making an effort to try and make biggest fight in boxing.

Canelo is the A-side because he's sold record #'s of ppv and ggg hasnt cracked 100k, thats not Golden Boys fault and theyd be ****** to ignore these facts in negotiations

if ggg wants to become a superstar, he's gonna have to do what floyd did, took the b-side agreements to make the big fight, his team talks all the shhhh about canelo and now they need him. Oscar knows how to negotiate when he has the a-side cause he was the a-side for a long time. They probably asked ggg to come down in weight just the same way he asked for ward to come down in weight and ggg's team said he will just continue to fight cans and take that HBO money. Oscar is not wrong for this, as fans of ggg, you're gonna have a different opinion. Oscar did it to floyd, he had to wear the type of gloves oscar chose. Pac had to finally take the drug tests to get the Floyd fight and b-side money...If ggg wants the fame he knows what he has to do....the same things he was asking of Ward

GGG/k2 have said repeatedly they're b-side and Canelo gets the big split. They just were not giving him no 155 for every 160 in existence. Don't be daft!
